Little satisfied. When what is acquired is far from complying with the characteristics of advertising. These people usually do not use the company as such so as not to feel ripped off again.

• According to validity

In many companies there is a database of who at some point have been their clients, that is why some people will appear as active clients or inactive clients . Depending on what the company offers, a time is established to consider that someone is an active customer or not.

• According to its influence
