Study Notes
The Marketing Concept
- There are three groups of definitions for marketing:
- Group One: Marketing focuses on the producer's goal, primarily profit.
- Group Two: Marketing aims at the consumer, while still prioritizing the producer's goals.
- Group Three: Marketing involves a mutual willingness between producers and consumers, recognizing the exchange of value.
The Exchange Process
- Duddy & Revzan define marketing as the economic process of exchanging goods and services and determining their value in monetary terms.
The Marketing Process
- It's a process focused on creating value for customers to meet their needs.
- Involves planning, execution, and assessment.
- The main elements are:
- Customer-oriented company: Activities are centered around the consumer's needs.
- Product-oriented company: Focuses on producing and selling products, not customer wants.
- Marketing is about satisfying customer needs, resulting in customer satisfaction and ultimately profitability.
Selling vs. Marketing
- Selling starts with production, aiming to sell enough to profit. It's a one-way process.
- Marketing starts with market research, identifying customer needs, and profits from satisfied customers. It's based on continuous feedback and adaptation to changing customer demands.
The 4 P’s of Marketing
- Successful companies make strategic decisions categorized into four elements:
- Product: Refers to the good or service being offered to meet customer needs. Includes decisions about design, quality, branding, and variations. International companies adapt products to local tastes, cultural preferences, regulations, and market conditions.
- Place (Distribution): Refers to the distribution channels used to make the product accessible to consumers. Includes the entire process from manufacturer to customer. International marketers must choose the most effective route for global distribution, considering local distributors, retailers, and potential establishment of their own distribution network.
- Price: Determines how much customers will pay. Pricing strategies vary based on market demand, competition, product costs, and local economic conditions, purchasing power, tariffs, taxes, and exchange rates in international markets.
- Promotion: Covers methods used to communicate and promote the product to the target audience. Includes advertising, sales promotions, public relations, and digital strategies. Promotion strategies must be adapted to local cultures, languages, and media habits.
The 7 P’s of Marketing
- This framework adds to the 4 Ps:
- People: All individuals involved in delivering the product or service, including employees, management, and customers. In international marketing, they bridge the gap between the company and its global customers, ensuring culturally relevant services and communication.
- Process: Procedures, mechanisms, and flow of activities involved in delivering a product or service. It ensures consistency and meets customer expectations. In international marketing, it refers to the steps and procedures a company uses for efficient and effective global delivery.
- Physical: Tangible elements that support the delivery of a service or product, primarily in service-based industries.
