    Study Notes

    Marketing Fundamentals

    • 5 C's: Essential marketing elements include customer, company, context, collaborators, and competitors.
    • 4 P's (Marketing Mix): Fundamental components are Product, Price, Place, and Promotion.

    Segmentation

    • Types of Segmentation: There are two main types: Strategic (value-based) and Tactical (characteristics-based).
    • Strategic Segmentation: Focuses on unobservable needs and value creation from customers.
    • Tactical Segmentation: Based on profile (age, gender) and value (psychographics) characteristics.
    • Segmentation Process: Involves dividing target markets based on common characteristics.
    • Profile-based Segmentation Issues: Risks include heterogeneity within segments, homogeneity between segments, and misidentifying competition.
    • Segmentation Biases: Important biases include in-group/out-group bias, out-group homogeneity bias, and confirmation bias.
    • Good Segments Criteria: Must be MECE (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive), homogeneous within segments, measurable, reachable, durable, and match company resources.

    Targeting

    • Targeting Definition: Evaluates which market segments to focus on, ignoring less valuable ones.
    • Strategic Targeting: Identifies segments to build mutually beneficial relationships.
    • Criteria for Strategic Targeting: Should assess attractiveness (size, growth, need) and compatibility.
    • Tactical Targeting: Focuses on cost-effective methods to engage target segments.

    Positioning and Value

    • Blue Ocean Strategy: Emphasizes creating new market segments when competition is fierce in existing ones.
    • Positioning Statement Components: Includes target segment, reference frame, point of difference, and reasons to believe.

    Customer Insights

    • Customer Lifetime Value (CLV): Represents the predicted economic value of a customer to a company.
    • Increasing CLV: Strategies to enhance CLV include improving retention, increasing margins, and lowering acquisition costs.

    Consumer Behavior

    • Sales Funnel Limitations: Does not address post-purchase phases, satisfaction, and all consumer interactions.
    • McKinsey Consumer Decision Model: Stages consist of Trigger, Consideration, Evaluation, Moment of Purchase, and Post-Purchase.
    • System 1 Processing: Quick, automatic, emotional decisions typically guided by heuristics.
    • System 2 Processing: Deliberate, rational decisions that require more mental effort.
    • Motivating System Shifts: Transition to System 2 requires motivation, ability, and opportunity.

    Expectations and Perceptions

    • Expectation Disconfirmation: Consumers assess satisfaction based on whether expectations are exceeded (positive) or unmet (negative).
    • Prospect Theory: Describes how individuals experience losses more acutely than gains.
    • Reference Point Evolution: Customer expectations shift based on previous experiences.

    Brand Management

    • Brand Definition: Collective impressions and experiences associated with a company or product.
    • Types of Loyalty: Includes true loyalty, spurious loyalty, latent loyalty, and none at all.
    • Brand Equity: Involves awareness, position, and image of a brand.
    • Brand Value: Represents the dollar value attributed to the brand.
    • Brand Architecture Goals: Clarity, simplicity, synergy, leverage, and commonality among brands.

    Brand Strategies

    • Brand Extension: Leveraging existing brand names for new product categories.
    • Brand Repositioning: Adjusting a brand’s focus for new markets or shifting preferences.
    • House of Brands vs. Branded House: House of Brands entails multiple independent brands; Branded House focuses on variations under a single brand umbrella.

    Collaboration and Integration

    • Collaboration Rationale: Brands should collaborate when there's compatibility, efficiency, complementary strengths, and equal benefits for all parties.
    • Horizontal Integration: Involves acquiring similar value chain entities to reduce competition or diversify.
    • Vertical Integration: Means acquiring upstream or downstream companies for supply chain control.

    Measurement Approaches

    • Brand Value Measurement Methods: Include Consumer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE), Brand Asset Valuator (BAV), Interbrand, and BERA.
    • CBBE Metrics: Assess awareness, associations, attitude, and attachment from customers' perspectives.

    Case Studies Insights

    • Starbucks: Successfully invested in improving customer satisfaction leading to business growth.
    • Unilever: Expanded products for low-income segments while managing potential cannibalization.
    • Blue Apron: Analyzed high churn and focused on increasing customer retention strategies post-COVID.
