AMA definition of marketing
What is marketing?
Marketing is a process by which companies create value for customers and

build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers
in return.
The twofold goal of marketing is to:

 attract new customers by promising superior value
 grow current customers by delivering satisfaction
Marketing is managing profitable customer relationships.

The marketing process
Discussion question
How is marketing different from selling?

Selling is only the tip of the marketing iceberg!
“There will always, one can assume, be need for some

selling.
But the aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous.
The aim of marketing is to know and understand the

customer so well that the product or service fits him and
sells itself.
Ideally, marketing should result in a customer who is

ready to buy.
All that should be needed then is to make the product or

service available.”
Peter Drucker
Understanding the market place and customer needs
Some key concepts:
1. needs, wants, and demands

2. market offerings (products, services, and experiences)
3. value and satisfaction
4. exchanges and relationships
5. markets
Customer needs, wants, and demands

 Needs are states of felt deprivation
(physical, social, and individual needs).
 Wants are the form human needs take as
they are shaped by culture and individual
personality.
 Demands are human wants that are
backed by buying power.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
Discussion question
Give an example of a product (good or service) you purchased

recently and tell how that product satisfied a need.
Quester P., Pettigrew S., Rao Hill S., Kopanidis F., Hawkins D. I. 2014, Consumer Behaviour - Implications for
Marketing Strategy, McGraw-Hill Education.
Market offerings - products, services, and experiences
 Needs and wants are fulfilled through market offerings, which are some
combination of products, services, information, or experiences offered to
a market to satisfy a need or want.
 Many sellers suffer from marketing myopia, the mistake of focusing only
on existing wants and losing sight of underlying consumer needs.
Customer value and satisfaction
 Customers form expectations about the value and satisfaction that

various market offerings will deliver and buy accordingly.
 Satisfied customers buy again and tell others about their good experiences.
 Dissatisfied customers switch to competitors and disparage the product to
others.
Exchanges and relationships
 Exchange is the act of obtaining a desired object from someone by

offering something in return.
 Marketing actions try to create, maintain, and grow desirable exchange
relationships.
Markets
 A market is set of actual and potential buyers.

 Marketing means managing markets to bring about profitable customer
relationships.
Designing a customer value-driven marketing strategy
 Marketing management is the art and science of choosing target

markets and building profitable relationships with them.
 What customers will we serve (target market)?
 How can we best serve these customers (value proposition)?

Selecting customers to serve
 Dividing the market into segments of customers (market segmentation)

and selecting which segments it will go after (target marketing)
Choosing a value proposition
 A brand’s value proposition is the set of benefits or values it promises to

deliver to customers to satisfy their needs. Such value propositions
differentiate one brand from another.
 Example: BMW promises “the ultimate driving machine”

 Five alternative concepts under which organizations design and carry out their
marketing strategies:
Societal
Production Product Selling Marketing

 Production concept: consumers will favor products that are available and highly
affordable.
 Focus on improving production and distribution efficiency.
 Product concept: consumers will favor products that offer the most in quality,
performance, and innovative features.
 Focus on making continuous product improvements.
 Selling concept: consumers will not buy enough of the firm’s products unless
the firm undertakes a large-scale selling and promotion effort.
 Focus on tracking down prospects and selling them on product benefits.
 Marketing concept: achieving organizational goals depends on knowing the

needs and wants of target markets and delivering the desired satisfactions
better than competitors.
 Customer focus and value are the paths to sales and profits. .
 Societal marketing concept: The

company’s marketing decisions
should consider consumers’ wants,
the company’s requirements,
consumers’ long-run interests, and
society’s long-run interests.
Discussion question
How does the societal marketing concept influences your

buying decisions, including brand selection and where you
make purchases?

Discussion questions

What factors influence a customer’s expectation?

 Yesterday’s companies focused on mass marketing to all customers at arm’s length.

 Today’s companies are building deeper, more direct, and more lasting relationships
with carefully selected customers.
Customer-engagement marketing
fosters direct and continuous customer involvement in shaping brand
conversations, experiences, and community.
Make the brand a meaningful part of consumers’ conversations and lives!

Discussion question
Think of a product or retailer to which you are loyal.
What has caused this loyalty?
What could a competing product/retailer do to break this loyalty?

Capturing value from customers
Customer lifetime value is the value of the entire stream of purchases that the
customer would make over a lifetime of patronage.
Losing a customer means losing more than a single sale!

Capturing value from customers
Customer equity is the total combined customer lifetime values of all of the
company’s customers.
The more loyal the firm’s profitable customers,

the higher the firm’s customer equity.

gets in its product categories.
