Understanding the consumer's field of experience is crucial for effective communication. This means understanding the consumer's background, knowledge, values, and beliefs, so that the message can be tailored to resonate with them. Encoding and decoding processes being different (A) is not necessary for effective communication, and personally encoding and decoding every message (B) is not practical. While it's useful to foresee unplanned static or distortion (D), it's not the most important factor for effective communication. Using familiar words and symbols (E) is helpful, but understanding the consumer's field of experience (C) is more important.
