Study Notes
Marketing Overview
- Marketing involves processes for creating value, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings among organizations, customers, and society.
- Key components: Communication (e.g., advertising), Delivery (e.g., supply chain), and Exchange of Offerings (involves two or more entities with mutual value).
- Effective marketing considers the perception of value, which varies among individuals based on benefits received versus costs incurred.
Perceived Value
- Higher perceived value arises when benefits exceed costs; differing perceptions necessitate targeted product tailoring rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Example: Individuals uninterested in video games perceive little to no value in gaming products.
Marketing Management Philosophies
- Production Orientation: Focus on exceptional skills or products.
- Sales Orientation: Aggressive sales tactics presumed to drive success (e.g., BOGO offers).
- Market Orientation: Prioritize customer needs and preferences (e.g., offering trendy food options).
- Societal Orientation: Aligns marketing efforts with societal benefits and sustainability.
- Product Development: Introduces new products for existing customers.
- Market and Product Development: Targets new customer segments with new products.
Portfolio Matrix
- Evaluates products based on market growth rate and market share dominance.
- Categories:
- Dogs: Non-profitable products suggested for divestiture.
- Problem Child: Low market share with potential growth; requires strategic scrutiny.
- Cash Cows: Generate highest cash flow; maintain status.
- Stars: Possess high potential for becoming cash cows in fast-growing industries.
Marketing Strategy: The 4 C’s
- Customer needs: Focus on solving specific problems.
- Company resources/skills: Assess internal capabilities to meet needs.
- Competition: Leverage strengths to differentiate offerings.
- Context: Consider external factors such as seasonality and target audience's lifestyle.
Consumer Decision Making Process
- Identify/Recognize Needs: Arises from gaps in Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
- Information Search: Includes internal recollections and external sources (friends, marketing).
- Evaluate Alternatives: Involves personal ranking of product attributes based on specific criteria.
- Purchase and Post-Purchase: Addressing cognitive dissonance where consumers question their purchasing decisions.
Buying Contexts
- Consequential purchases may consider price disparities, risks, and social visibility (private vs. public consumption).
- Routine Purchase Behavior: Involves frequent, low-cost items with low effort.
- Limited Decision Making: Requires moderate thought/consideration for purchases.
- Extensive Decision Making: Involves high-stakes purchases necessitating considerable deliberation.
Customer Heterogeneity Influences
- Cultural factors shape shared values, traditions, and regional influences.
- Social influences include individuals' interactions and relationships with reference groups and family.
- Individual characteristics like gender, age, and lifestyle impact purchasing decisions.
- Psychological factors such as personality, emotional reactions, and cognitive perceptions drive varied consumer responses.
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
- Represents the potential future earnings from a customer based on past and current spending behaviors.
Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning
- Market Segmentation identifies subgroups with similar needs and characteristics, enhancing targeting efficiency.
- Criteria for effective segmentation: substantial, identifiable, measurable, accessible, and responsive segments.
- Segmentation methods include demographics (age, income), psychographics (lifestyle, personality), benefits sought, and usage rate.
- Targeting strategies range from undifferentiated approaches to multi-segment strategies and one-to-one marketing.
Segmentation Example
- Proctor & Gamble (P&G) demonstrates effective segmentation in their detergent product range, offering distinct products based on consumer needs such as cleanliness, color protection, and sensitivity.
