Study Notes
Psychology of Colors
- Red is stimulating and can catch attention, often used in marketing for food products.
- Blue is associated with comfort.
- Green is associated with energy.
Product Life Cycle (PLC)
- The PLC describes four distinct stages of a product's life: Introduction, Growth, Maturity, and Decline.
- Innovators are early adopters who purchase a product despite limited information. They are motivated by pride and exclusivity.
- The Introduction stage often features high prices due to a product's uniqueness.
- Leaders are influential consumers who purchase a product due to its perceived quality and influence, driven by a need for prestige and respect.
- The Growth stage sees increased sales and profit driven by product improvements and revisions.
- During the Maturity phase, sales level off as the product becomes widely adopted. Efforts shift towards maintaining market share rather than significant growth.
- The Decline phase signifies a decrease in sales and market share. Companies may implement strategies such as price reductions or promotional offers to try and revitalize sales.
Boston Consulting Group Matrix (BCG Matrix)
- Analyzes a product's marketability and sales performance.
- Labels products into four categories: Dog, Question Mark, Star, and Cash Cow.
- The Dog category represents products with low market share and low market growth, often considered candidates for discontinuation.
- The Question Mark category indicates products with low market share but high market growth. These products have the potential to become Stars or Dogs depending on future market performance.
- The Star category represents products with high market share and high market growth, considered ideal products with strong market dominance.
- The Cash Cow category includes products with high market share but low market growth. These products generate stable income and often serve as funding sources for other products.
Branding
- Branding refers to the consistent perception of a product or company formed over time.
- Brand names, such as DLSU, CSB, McDonald's, and Landbank, are examples of established brands representing a specific image and value.
Pricing Strategies
- Cost-Plus Pricing adds a profit margin to the cost of production to determine the retail price.
- Benchmarking Pricing involves analyzing competitors’ pricing strategies and adjusting prices accordingly to gain a competitive edge.
- Psychological Pricing uses "round" numbers or numbers ending in 99, creating a perception of better deals or lower prices.
- Value-Based Pricing sets prices based on perceived value and market demand, potentially justified by a product's unique features or benefits.
- Loss Leader Pricing involves selling a product at a loss to draw customers and potentially increase sales of other products.
Place (Distribution)
- Place refers to the distribution channels through which a product is made available to its target market.
- The Value Chain Analysis examines the different stages involved in a product's journey from raw materials to its final consumer.
Support and Primary Functions in Value Chain
- Support Functions include administrative, human resources, technology, and purchasing activities that contribute to the overall operation of a business.
- Primary Functions directly involve the creation and delivery of a product, including manufacturing, inbound logistics, work in process, finished product, marketing, sales, warehousing, storage, and after-sales services.
