Abstract

Behavioral economics has also offered valuable knowledge on the choices made by consumers and in most instances, conducts systematic bias, and shortcuts that do not exist in the conventional economic scenario. Such results can be implemented into retail marketing in the forms of so-called nudges, which can be used to control consumer preferences but refrain from being restrictive. In this paper, we are going to talk about how the behavioral nudges could be applied in the retail setting and this will involve the application of product placements, default decisions, social proofs, and framing effects. The case study of the research study with both online and physical stores demonstrates how whitewashed interventions may foster desirable consumer behavior that involves the purchase of healthier or encourages sustainable behavior of shopping and become more interested in promotional activities. The findings also mention that the process of nudging is not only helpful in enhancing decision-making in customers, but in improving performance with regards to retailer selling since it increases sales and brand loyalty. The paper brings out the empirical application of behavioral economics in marketing strategy formulation that offers empirical meanings of marketing strategies to deals that want to maximize consumer experiences and make sound and responsible choices.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
