History

I understand that we are talking here about how the study of History is made and how historical knowledge is produced. Thus we need to think about sources.

Sources are anything from the past that is being studied that can serve as evidence, as a trace of it. It can be letters, diaries, photographs, videos, objects.

Sources can be primary or secondary. Remember that our goal is to understand what happened at a certain moment. Thus we need to ask ourselves: how can we get closer to what happened?

To get closer to what happened it's better to use a primary source. Primary sources are texts, photographies, etc. produced directly by someone who was participating in the event we are studying. Because such a person was present and/or directly participated in what we are trying to understand, her/his view of it is richer for us than a secondary source, for example.

Some classical examples of primary sources are documents produced by a government or Church's documents from the Middle Ages for example. If I'm studying criminality in the 1920s, I'll go look for police documents of the time.

A secondary source is a material produced by someone who was not present at the exact moment or did not take actual part in our object of study. An example of a secondary source could be a letter that someone wrote describing what she/he heard about an event, for example.

Describe at least three differences between fans and customers
tester [92]

Answer:

The difference between the customer who just bought the product and the client who is crazy about this product or brand is huge, even if the nominal amount of the purchase is the same. In other words, an ordinary customer’s dollar is not equal to a eager fan’s dollar. There is a formal way of dividing customers into categories - the Net Promoter Score (NPS). NPS measures customer loyalty and satisfaction. Moreover, an index value of minus 100 means that all customers are critics, and plus 100 means that all customers are promoters of this product/brand.

The main thing for the consumer is the product’s functionality, ease of use, simplicity, high-quality satisfaction of needs. For the fan, the emotional effect of owning and using the product is of great importance.

An important practical consequence of the foregoing is that working with consumers and fans, understanding their needs requires completely different skills and it is advisable that people with relevant experience and knowledge engage in this activity.

People are becoming more demanding. A quick service or a meaningless gift will no longer cause the customer to return and all the more so to become a fan. But the combination of good service and positive emotions is still "addictive. "
