    Study Notes

    Marketing: Needs, Wants, and Demands

    • Marketing is a social and managerial process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want through creating and exchanging products and value with others.
    • Advertising is a part of marketing, making people aware of products.
    • Selling is also a part of marketing.
    • Creating value for customers and building relationships with them is crucial in the marketing process. Customers value is more important than low product costs.

    The Marketing Process

    • Marketers understand the needs and wants of customers.
    • Companies create customer-driven marketing strategies. This is done by designing plans and strategies for reaching customers.
    • Companies construct marketing programs that focus on offering superior value to customers.
    • Companies ensure profitable relationships with customers.
    • Capture value from customers through customer equity, and profits that arise from value delivered.
    • Firms determine which customer segments they will focus on (targeting).

    Goods, Services, and Experiences

    • Value proposition: Product, service, experience, and information are included.
    • Services are inseparable from consumers.
    • Experiences often need a product & service component.

    Value, Satisfaction, and Loyalty

    • Companies create value propositions to meet customer demands.
    • Customers choose offerings based on expectations of value and satisfaction.

    Exchanges, Transactions, and Relations

    • Exchange: obtaining a desired object by offering something in return.
    • Transactions: typically involve a purchase and sale (i.e., product x money).

    Types of Exchanges

    • Lucrative Exchanges: Value is perceived as greater than the monetary cost (e.g. buying a product).
    • Non-Lucrative Exchanges: Value is not strictly monetary (e.g. a friendship, romantic relationship).
    • Restricted Exchanges: involve two parties only (e.g. a seller and a buyer).
    • Generalized Exchange Schemes: Complex exchanges involving multiple parties and a wide range of considerations; building relationships.

    Transactions and Relations

    • Transactional Exchanges: happen only once, are separated from past and future, and have no social elements; involve no further communication.
    • Relational Exchanges: involve communication and social elements, beyond product exchange characteristics. Exchanges extend beyond the immediate transaction, often building a relationship.

    Customer-Engagement Marketing

    • Customer-engagement marketing involves continuous customer involvement, brand experience, and community building.

    The Marketing Plan

    • Each company has to develop a marketing plan strategy that best suits their needs.
    • A marketing plan consists of three main stages: 1. The Strategic Plan (corporate level), 2. The Marketing Process (business unit, product, and market level), 3. Ways of putting the plan into action.
    • The marketing process begins with analysis (evaluating tools, resources, and goals). Plans must consider the resources required for implementation and control of the plan.
    • Emotional marketing focuses on customers' feelings and understanding their needs in the context of the product
    • Online marketing uses digital mediums (e.g. commercial TV).
    • Viral marketing relies on word-of-mouth for brand promotion (e.g. social media and/or influencers).
    • Geo-marketing uses location of potential customers.
    • Neuro-marketing uses tools to study customers' neural activity and brain reactions when interacting with products.

    Conclusion

    • Customer equity is the value captured from customers in the future.
    • The study highlights the importance of creating customer value and building relationships for long-term success.
