    Study Notes

    Marketing: Creating Customer Value and Engagement

    • Marketing aims to create value for customers and capture value from them in return.
    • The simplest definition of marketing is managing profitable customer relationships.
    • Marketing encompasses the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, other stakeholders, and society.
    • A narrower definition focuses on building profitable, value-laden exchange relationships with customers.
    • Marketing's twofold goal is attracting new customers through promising superior value, and retaining and growing current customers through delivering satisfaction. These two are intertwined.

    The Marketing Process

    • Create value for customers and build customer relationships:
      • Understand the marketplace and customer needs and wants.
      • Design a customer-driven marketing strategy.
      • Construct an integrated marketing program that delivers superior value.
      • Build profitable relationships and create customer delight.
    • Capture value from customers in return:
      • Capture value from customers to create profits and customer equity.

    Core Marketplace Concepts

    • Needs, Wants, and Demands:

      • Needs are states of felt deprivation, including physical, social, and individual needs.
      • Wants are the form human needs take as shaped by culture and personality, and become demands when backed by purchasing power.
    • Market Offerings (products, services, and experiences):

      • Market offerings are combinations of products, services, information or experiences offered to satisfy needs or wants. This includes services, which don't involve ownership.
    • Value and Satisfaction:

      • Customers develop expectations about value and satisfaction from marketing offerings and make decisions accordingly. Businesses have to be careful in managing expectations.
    • Exchanges and Relationships:

      • Exchanges are acts of obtaining a desired item by offering something in return.
      • Relationships are marketing actions to build and maintain desirable exchange relationships with the target audiences (including in relation to the product/service).
    • Markets:

      • Markets comprise all current and potential buying audiences of a particular product or service, who share a specific need or want that can be satisfied through exchange.

    Designing a Customer Value-Driven Marketing Strategy

    • Marketing management is the art and science of choosing target markets and building profitable relationships with them.
    • Two key questions in designing a winning marketing strategy are:
      • What customers will we serve (who)? This includes market segmentation and target marketing.
      • How can we serve them (how)? This involves developing a value proposition and a competitive advantage.

    Societal Marketing

    • Societal marketing considers consumer wants, company requirements, and society's long-term interests (economic, social, and environmental well-being).
    • This approach emphasizes sustainable marketing practices.
    • Four Ps of marketing (Product, Price, Place, and Promotion) describe the elements a firm uses to market its offerings.

    Managing Customer Relationships and Capturing Customer Value

    • Customer relationship management (CRM) involves detailed information management about individual customers and managing customer touchpoints to maximize loyalty.
    • CRM is a process that builds and maintains profitable customer relationships, delivering superior value and satisfaction.
    • Key aspects of CRM include: perceived customer value, customer satisfaction, a meaningful brand experience, long-term relationships, the ability to communicate, and building a positive brand reputation.

    Building the Right Relationships with the Right Customers

    • Different types of customers exist: butterflies (potentially profitable but not loyal), true friends (profitable and loyal), barnacles (loyal but not very profitable), and strangers (neither loyal nor profitable).
    • Companies can tailor interactions with customer segments based on profitability

    The Changing Marketing Landscape

    • Social media and mobile marketing create extensive opportunities for engagement and real-time interaction with customers.
    • Globalization and urbanization are reshaping marketing strategies for global markets.
    • Environmental and social responsibility are becoming critical factors for companies.
