Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a company purchases Claxton fruitcakes to give to its customers, they would evaluate the quality, service, and price of the product in order to make a decision. These factors are important for any purchase decision made by a company, and while factors such as demand and promotion may come into play, they are not as significant as quality, service, and price. Order and delivery time are also important, but they are more logistical concerns that the company would evaluate separately from the product itself. Customer relationships and ethical behavior are also important factors for a company to consider, but they are broader concerns that go beyond a single product purchase.
