    Study Notes

    Marketing Management

    • Marketing management is a continuous, cyclical process, aiming to satisfy consumer wants and needs.
    • It involves setting goals, considering resources and opportunities, planning activities, executing them, and measuring progress.
    • Understanding consumer behavior is crucial for anticipating and responding to customer needs.
    • Value is central to customer satisfaction. Companies must evaluate if their offerings provide superior value compared to competitors.
    • Value assessments should be based on the customer's perspective.
    • Customer value propositions represent the total benefits promised in exchange for patronage.
    • Consumer behavior impacts marketing activities, and vice versa. Companies need deep understanding of consumer behavior when offering products/services in a single or multiple markets.
    • Companies need to understand how consumers behave, what motivates their purchases, their expectations, factors influencing decisions, how they use specific products/services and the meaning they attach to purchases.

    Consumer Behavior and Uniqlo

    • Uniqlo's success is attributed to "made-for-all", innovative, high-quality, performance-enhanced products at affordable prices; it has over 1,400 stores in 16 countries.
    • Key factors in Uniqlo's marketing strategy include the in-store/online product search experience, the purchase process (in-store/online), employee assistance, online purchase experience, brand image, emotional attachments, social connections and internal/external influences.
    • Uniqlo's strategy focuses on both internal (products, staff) and external factors impacting customer experience.
    • A strong reputation, especially in Asian markets, has been built.
    • Uniqlo uses celebrities, influencers (e.g., Pharrell Williams, Carine Roitfeld), and designers (e.g., Orla Kiely) to establish a contemporary brand image.
    • Uniqlo emphasizes "fabric over fashion," prioritizing high-quality garments.
    • Uniqlo has a multi-platform online & retail presence utilizing social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). Uniqlo uses a unique platform (Renren) for Chinese consumers.
    • Consumer behaviour is influenced by many factors, including internal factors (emotions, attitudes, perceptions) and external factors (culture, society, groups).

    Consumer Behavior

    • Consumer behavior is the study of how individuals and groups select, purchase, use, and dispose of products, services, ideas, or experiences to satisfy their needs and desires.
    • Consumer decisions are influenced by internal (emotions, attitudes) and external (culture, society, groups) factors.
    • Consumers' decision-making processes vary from one consumer to another. Marketing activities also influence these choices.
    • Factors like economic resources, legal/regulatory frameworks, and history/geography impact consumer choices across different countries.
    • Multinational corporations (MNCs) adapt products to local market preferences, often adjusting product size, offerings, or features to cater to diversity. Examples include McDonald's menus (McChocolate potatoes in Japan, McHotDog Classic in Philippines) and Starbucks drinks (red bean cream frappuccino in South Korea).
