    Study Notes

    Defining Marketing

    • Marketing is a process where companies create value for customers and build strong relationships to gain value in return.
    • The core goal is attracting new customers with superior value and satisfying current customers.

    Marketing Process Steps

    • Understand the marketplace and customer needs: Identify customer needs and wants.
    • Design a customer value-driven marketing strategy: Determine target market and value proposition.
    • Construct an integrated marketing program: Develop a comprehensive marketing program to deliver value.
    • Engage customers, build profitable relationships, and create delight: Foster relationships and loyalty.
    • Capture value from customers: Generate profits and customer equity.

    Five Core Marketplace Concepts

    • Needs, Wants, and Demands:
      • Needs are states of felt deprivation (physical, social, and individual).
      • Wants are the specific form human needs take as shaped by culture and personality.
      • Demands are wants backed by buying power.
    • Market Offerings: Products, services, information, or experiences offered to satisfy needs or wants. Avoid marketing myopia (focusing solely on products instead of the benefits they provide).
    • Value and Satisfaction: Marketing involves creating value and satisfaction through exchange relationships. Satisfied customers buy again; dissatisfied switch to competitors.
    • Exchanges and Relationships: Exchange is obtaining a desired object from someone by offering something in return. Marketing aims to create, maintain, and grow desirable relationships, and actively engages consumers to foster brand experiences.
    • Markets: The set of all actual and potential buyers of a product. Consumers engage in various actions (search, interaction, purchase) within a market.

    Marketing Management Orientations

    • Production Concept: Focuses on efficient production and distribution to meet consumer demand. Consumers will favour available and affordable products.
    • Product Concept: Emphasizes product quality, performance, and features. Focus on continuous improvements, although sole emphasis can lead to marketing myopia.
    • Selling Concept: Aggressive selling and promotion is necessary to stimulate consumer demand. Primarily for unsought goods (e.g., life insurance).
    • Marketing Concept: Focus on understanding and satisfying target market needs better than competitors. This prioritizes customer focus and value.
    • Societal Marketing Concept: Prioritizes consumer and societal well-being by maintaining sustainability and social responsibility. Company decisions consider consumer wants, company requirements, and society's long-term interests.

    Customer Value-Driven Marketing Strategy and Integrated Marketing Program

    • Marketing Management: The process of choosing target markets and building profitable relationships with them. Finding, attracting, keeping, and growing customers by delivering superior value.
    • Value Proposition: The set of benefits or values promised to customers to satisfy their needs. Differentiates a brand from competitors.
    • Marketing Mix (4Ps): Product, price, promotion, and place are the components of an integrated marketing program. This is the set of tools that deliver intended value to target customers.
