Study Notes

Consumer Behavior and Marketing Management

  • Marketing management is a process that sets goals, considers resources and market opportunities, plans and executes activities, and measures progress. It must be ongoing and adapt to changes.
  • A core goal is satisfying consumer wants and needs. Firms must focus on a subset of desires, using available resources effectively.
  • Understanding consumer behavior is crucial for anticipating and reacting to customer needs.
  • Customer value is central to success; a product/service must offer more value than competitors'. Evaluation should be from the customer's perspective.
  • Customer value propositions are the sum of benefits a customer receives for patronage and payment.

Uniqlo's Success

  • Uniqlo's strategy involves offering innovative, high-quality products at low prices ("made for all").
  • Uniqlo has 1,400 stores in 16 countries.
  • Key factors in their success include store layout, online search ease, purchase processes, and brand image.
  • Uniqlo uses celebrities (e.g., Pharrell Williams, Carine Roitfeld) and influencers to build a brand image. Their image is established on quality garments ("fabric over fashion").
  • Uniqlo has a strong online and retail presence, targeted at Chinese consumers using Renren and global consumers.

Global Consumer Culture Debate

  • Global consumer culture refers to consumers identifying with global brands and viewing themselves as global citizens.
  • Multinational corporations (MNCs) are influential in shaping global consumer behavior.
  • There's a debate about whether the spread of global brands is cultural imperialism. Examples like Starbucks and Ikea raise concerns about cultural homogeneity.
  • Some marketers favor global strategies for efficiency. Standardization is the application of domestic standards to foreign markets. This approach saves time and money e.g. using the same iPhone and advertising message globally.

Standardization vs. Localization

  • Standardization is a global approach using the same products, prices, and advertising worldwide.
  • Localization is adapting marketing mix elements (products, pricing, advertising) based on each market.
  • Glocalization is a combination of standardization and localization.
  • Coca-Cola's recent "one brand" global campaign exemplifies a global strategy.
