Principles of Marketing
- Marketing is a social and managerial process for individuals and groups to obtain what they need and want by creating and exchanging products with value.
- A simple definition is managing profitable customer relationships.
- The marketing process involves understanding the marketplace and customer needs, designing a customer-driven marketing strategy, constructing an integrated marketing program, and building profitable customer relationships.
Marketing Management Philosophies
- Five key marketing philosophies include the production concept, product concept, selling concept, marketing concept, and societal marketing concept.
- The production concept emphasizes efficient production and distribution of available and affordable products.
- The product concept focuses on product quality, performance, and innovative features to achieve continuous product improvement.
- The selling concept focuses on aggressive selling and promotional efforts to persuade customers.
- The marketing concept emphasizes understanding customer needs and developing a product to satisfy those needs, leading to customer satisfaction and superior value.

Customer Perceived Value
- Customer perceived value is a subjective evaluation of the benefits and costs of a product, compared to competitors.
- Factors other than price influence value perception.
Customer Satisfaction
- Customer satisfaction depends on the product's perceived performance meeting or exceeding customer expectations.
- Expectations are important, and exceeding them can lead to customer delight and loyalty.
Marketing Myopia
- Marketing myopia occurs when company focus is solely on their own products rather than customer needs and wants.
- Companies risk losing sight of underlying customer needs if they only emphasize their existing product offerings. Examples include bad companies who were criticized for designing products that did not consider people's needs.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
- CRM is a process for building and maintaining profitable customer relationships by delivering superior customer value and satisfaction.
Changing Marketing Landscape
- The digital age has empowered both businesses and customers, with the internet facilitating new communication, advertising, and relationship building tools.
- Globalization is causing convergence in consumer taste, with consumer demand for similar products regardless of location.
- Increased calls for ethics and social responsibility in marketing are evident, including concerns about corporate social responsibility in product offerings, such as the "Poisonous Apple" example.
- Not-for-profit marketing is growing in importance.
