Defining Marketing & Marketing Process Ch.

1
What is Marketing?
Marketing is engaging customers and managing profitable customer relationships. The goal
of marketing is to attract new customers by promising superior value and grow and keep
current customers my delivering value and satisfaction.
Marketing Process
Easily explained in a five-step model:
MARKETING IN A NUTSHELL

Understand Marketplace and Customer Needs


Marketing is based on the human needs. If these needs aren’t satisfied People will
concentrate on their wants.
Customer Wants
• Will very from country and culture (Example preferences for dinner)
Customer Demands
• When wants are backed with buying power they become demands
• Wants and resources people demand products with benefits
• All for most value and satisfaction
Market Offerings – Products, Services and Experience
Consumers want to needs and wants fulfilled through market offerings. But you can never
forget that market offerings are not limited to physical products.
Sellers often pay more attention to specific products than to the benefits and experiences
produced by these products. (They suffer from marketing myopia.) Only focus on existing
wants and lose sight of underlying needs.
Smart marketers look beyond the attributes.

Customer Value & Satisfaction


Broad array of products and services make it hard for customers to decide. Therefore,
customers have expectations about value and satisfaction. Satisfied customers buy again and
talk about it.
The right level of expectations is important so customers will be satisfied but also attract new
customers. Too high → customers unhappy! Too low → won´t attract new customers!
Exchanges and Relationships
Marketing occurs when people decide to satisfy their needs and wants. So the marketer tries
to bring about a response to some market offerings. It consist of actions taken to create,
maintain, and grow desirable exchange relationships (involves product, service, idea, other
object).
Companies want a strong relationship with consistent customer value.
Market
Exchange + Relationship = Market
Market is a set of actual buyers and potential buyers of a product or service. Buyers share a
need or want that gets satisfied through exchange relationships.
Marketing is the managing of a market to get profitable customer relationships (takes work).
That mean Sellers must:
• Search, engage buyers
• Identify needs
• Design good offerings
• Set prices
• Promote
• Store and deliver
Activities such as:
• Customer research
• Product development
• Communication
• Distribution
• Pricing
• Service
Are core marketing activities.
Marketing is done by:
• Sellers
• Buyers
• Consumers when they search for produts and
interact with companies
Customer Value- Driven Market Strategy & Plan (Design)
When understand Consumers, Marketplace the marketing management can design a strategy.
A winning strategy answers two key questions:
• What customers do you serve?
• How can you serve them the best?
Selecting Customers to serve
To simplify this problem, we:
• Decide whom we will serve
• Divide the market into segments of customers
(market segmentation)
• Choose the segment (target marketing)
You cannot serve all customers in every way!
Therefore, the company:
• Wants only customers they can serve well and profitable
Ultimately marketing managers must decide:
• Which customers they want to target
• The level
• Timing
• Nature of demands
Marketing Management Orientation
They want to design strategies that will engage target customers and build profitable
relationships with them. There are five alternative concepts for marketing strategies:
The Production Concept (One of the oldest orientations)
Consumers want available and highly affordable products. It´s still a useful philosophy in some situations
but it can lead to marketing myopia. So, companies run a risk of focusing too narrowly on their own
operations and losing sight of the real objectives.
The Product Concept
Consumers want product with the highest quality, performance, and innovative features. The strategy lays
the focus on product improvement. It´s a part of the basically every marketing strategy but only your product
being the focus can lead to market myopia. Especially when customers look for a different solution and not a
better product.
The Selling Concept
Consumers won´t buy enough products as long as there is no large-scale selling/ promotion effort. Typically
practiced with unsought goods. This concept can be seen as aggressive selling which carries high risks. It’s a
short term strategy with no focus on long term relationships with customers.
The Marketing Concept
Achieving your goals depends of knowing/understanding your target and market and satisfying better than
the competitors do. Customers focus and value the path of sales and profits.
Customer centred marketing > product centred marketing
The Social marketing Concept
This concept questions whether the concepts overlooks possible conflicts between customer short- and long
run welfare.
• Did the firm satisfy the immediate needs?
• Does the target market does what´s best for consumers?
Often known as the concept of shared value. Cause it recognizes social and economic needs.

performance matches expectations the customers are satisfied. Should a product exceed the
expectations customers are highly satisfied or delighted. Must companies try to delight
customers by promising less than they deliver.

Construct and Integrated Marketing Program -P for Product
Expanded Model of the Marketing Process

What is a Product?
Product is anything that can be offered in a market for attention, acquisition, used, or
consumption that might satisfy a need or want.
Services are a form of product that consists of activities, benefits, or satisfaction and that
is essentially intangible and does not result in the ownership of anything.
Both are becoming more commoditized. Companies are now creating and managing
customer experiences with their brands or company.

Customer experience is the main goal by selling a


product or a service since the experience keeps them
buying your product.
Further a product contains three levels. The augmented, actual product and core customer
value.

Service Marketing
A service has four specific characteristics:

Product and Service Decisions


Individual Product Decisions
The focus of all these decisions is to create customer value
Brand

identifies the maker or seller of a product or service
Brand Positioning

1. Attributes
2. Benefits
3. Beliefs and values

engaging customers on a deep, emotional level.
Packaging

Labels identify the product or brand, describe attributes, and provide promotion.

Inception to Decline.
Construct an Integrated Marketing Program- P for Price
What is Price?
Price is the amount of money charged for a product or service, or the sum of all values that
customers exchange for the benefits of having or using the product or service.

In Marketing Mix and Strategy


Price is the only element in the marketing ix that produces revenue, all other P´s represent
costs.

Three Major Pricing Strategies


• Customer value-based pricing
• Cost-based pricing
• Competition- based pricing
Cost-based pricing
Sets prices based on the costs for producing, distributing, and selling the product, plus a fair
rate of return (markup) for effort and risk.

Example: You´ve designed a product with the following costs:


• Material costs: $20
• Labour costs= $10
• Overhead = $8
• Total Costs=$ 38
You then add your markup percentage, let´s say 50% to the total cost = $57

Value-based pricing
Uses the buyers´ perceptions of value rather than the seller´s cost.
• Customer driven
• Price is set to match perceived value.
Example: Louis Vuitton customers see the value of the product based on:
• Almost default image of style and exclusivity
• Social versatility of their accessories
• Gender-neutral product design, despite a segregated
catalogue
• Price that´s somewhat more affordable that some
other high-end brands, despite the stylish image

• Good-value-pricing is offering just the right combination of quality and good service
at a fair price.
• Everyday low pricing (EDLP) involves charging a constant everyday low price with
few or no temporary price discounts
• High-low pricing involves charging higher prices on an everyday basis but running
frequent promotions to lower prices temporarily on selected items.
• Value-based pricing attaches value-added features and services to differentiate a
company´s offers and thus their higher prices.

Competition-based pricing
Is setting prices based on competitors ‘strategies, costs, prices, and market offerings.
Market-skimming pricing strategy sets high initial prices
to “skim” revenue layers from the market.
• Product quality and image must support the price
• Buyers must want the product at the price

Market- penetration pricing involves setting a low price for


a new product in order to:
• Attract a large number of buyers
• And a large market share

• Less differentiation between competitors
• Advertising efficiency declines because of high costs, clutter, and legal constraints
• Deal-oriented customers

In our current economy customers are attracted by low prices and good deals. Sales
promotion can attract these types of consumers. But companies should also remember that
growing use of sales promotion leads to “promotion clutter | advertising clutter”.
Promotions can be like lost ships in a sea of promotions. In that case the planned trigger isn’t
happening and companies have to find a new way.
Such as:
• Large coupons
• Dramatic point-of-purchase
• Digital Promotion

marketing, or other promotion mix tools. Consumer promotions must usually be advertised
and can add excitement and pulling power to ads. Trade and business sales promotions
support the firm’s personal selling process.

Relationships

Trade promotions – encourage retailers to carry more product, buy in advance, stimulate
purchases

Business promotions – used to general leads and stimulate purchases towards businesses

Sales force promotions – motivate salespeople to


support new product, garner new accounts

Sampling - is the most effective—but most


expensive—way to introduce a new product or create
new excitement for an existing one. Some samples are
free; for others, the company charges a small amount to
offset its cost. The sample might be sent by mail,
handed out in a store or at a kiosk, attached to another
product, or featured in an ad or an email. Samples are
sometimes combined into sample packs, which can then be used to promote other products
and services. Sampling can be a powerful promotional tool.

Coupons- can promote early trial of a new


brand or stimulate sales of a mature brand.

Rebates (or cash refunds)- are like coupons


except that the price reduction occurs after the
purchase rather than at the retail outlet.

Price packs (also called cents-off deals)- reduce prices directly on the label or package.
Price packs can be single packages sold at a reduced price (such as two for the price of one)
or two related products banded together (such as a toothbrush and toothpaste). Price packs
are very effective—even more so than coupons—in stimulating short-term sales.
Premiums - are goods offered either for free or at a low price.
Advertising specialties - are useful articles imprinted with the advertiser’s name, logo, or
message that are given as gifts to consumers.

Point-of-purchase promotions - include displays and demonstrations that take place at the
point of sale.

Contests, sweepstakes, and games - give consumers the chance to win something—such as
cash, trips, or goods—by luck or through extra effort.
• Contests require an entry by a consumer.
• Sweepstakes require consumers to submit their names for a drawing.
• Games present consumers with something that may or may not help them win a prize.

Event marketing or event sponsorship - is creating a brand-marketing event or serving as a


sole or participating sponsor of events created by others.

Major Tools for Trade Promotions


• Discount
• Allowance
• Free goods
• Specialty advertising

Conventions and trade shows – are


effective to reach many customers not
reached with the regular sales force.
Sales contests - are effective in motivating
salespeople or dealers to increase
performance over a given periode.
• Size of the incentive
• Conditions for participation
• Promotion and distribution of the program
• Length of the program
