Study Notes

Marketing: Needs, Wants, and Demands

Marketing is a social and managerial process where individuals and groups obtain what they need and want.
Marketing involves creating and exchanging value with others.
Advertising and selling are components of marketing, contributing to its social function.

The Marketing Process

Understand marketplace and customer needs and wants.
Design a customer-driven marketing strategy.
Construct an integrated marketing program that provides superior value.
Build profitable customer relationships and ensure customer delight.
Capture value from customers in return (price - cost of production = profit).
Capture profits and customer equity from customers.

Market System Simplification

A market system includes suppliers, companies, marketing intermediaries, competitors, and consumers, interconnected by various forces.
Consumer needs stem from states of deprivation (physical, social, individual).
Wants are shaped by culture and individual personality.
Demands represent wants backed by buying power.
Wants are not always related to one specific need, and vice versa.

Goods, Services, and Experiences

Market offerings encompass products, services, experiences, and information.
Service offerings are inseparable from customers.
Experiences often need a product and a service component.
Companies offer value propositions that include products, services, experience, and information.
Modern marketing emerged with brand naming and recognition.

Value, Satisfaction, and Loyalty

Companies create value propositions to respond to customer demands.
Customers compare perceived customer value with money spent.
Higher expectations lead to higher short-term sales, but may result in lower long-term sales if expectations aren't met.
Companies balance expectations and value to achieve long-term success.

Exchanges, Transactions, and Relationships

Exchange involves obtaining a desired object by offering something in return.
Exchanges can be product for product, or product for money (lucrative).
Successful exchanges require two or more parties, each with something of value, and a willingness to exchange.
Some exchanges can be purely transactional, while others may evolve into relationships.

Types of Exchanges

Lucrative exchanges: involve a product or service being valued more than money. (e.g., early cars – value-for-money exchange).
Non-lucrative exchanges: involve value beyond monetary cost. (e.g., dating someone- not necessarily value for money).
Restricted exchanges: involve only two parties, a seller and a buyer.
Generalized exchanges: may involve multiple parties, and are often complex relationships evolving over time. (e.g., town hall, company).

Transactional vs. Relational Exchanges

Transactional exchanges: are usually one-time interactions.
Relational exchanges: evolve past a single transaction and involve ongoing communication.

Consumer-Engagement Marketing

Encourages direct and continuous customer participation in shaping a company's brand.
Makes the brand a meaningful part of consumers' lives.
Not all customers are equally profitable.

The Marketing Plan

A marketing plan requires analysis, planning, implementation, and control.
It addresses company missions, objectives, and the setting of goals to establish strategies.
Objectives involve a long-term perspective identifying what needs to be achieved.
Marketing plans are dynamic documents adapted to market trends.

Marketing Management

This involves planning and control, measuring results, and adapting to changes if needed.
