    Study Notes

    Tourism and Hospitality Marketing

    • Marketing is crucial for business success, often taken for granted
    • Kotler defines marketing as regulating product/service interest for consumers, setting sales and communication strategies. Marketing identifies needs and desires.
    • The American Marketing Association defines marketing as planning and executing conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution to satisfy individual and organizational needs.
    • Drucker viewed marketing as a core business discipline and customer focus as the primary corporate value.
    • Marketing is the process of engaging customers, building relationships, and creating value to capture value in return.
    • Marketing is about building awareness and potential customers, while sales converts potential customers into actual paying customers.
    • Key differences between marketing and sales include approach (focused on brand vs. specific products) and activities (building awareness vs. making the sale)
    • Effective marketing involves understanding customer needs and wants before selling.
    • Customer value is the difference in perceived benefits/costs, while their satisfaction depends on exceeding expectations.
    • Marketers need to consider quality, satisfaction, and value.
    • The concept of a product encompasses physical goods and services, aiming to meet needs and wants.
    • Effective marketing includes Needs, Wants, and Demands; products, exchanges, transactions and relationships, value, satisfaction, quality.
    • The core concept of marketing lies in exchange. Market exchange is crucial for profitable customer relationships.
    • Marketing mix is essential, comprised of Product, Price, Place, and Promotion (high quality, reasonable price, accessible locations, intensive promotion = marketing success.)

    Core Marketing Concepts

    • Needs are basic requirements (food, shelter, safety, belonging, esteem, self-expression).
    • Wants are shaped by culture/personality (taro for a hungry person in PNG vs. a hamburger or a coke).
    • Demands are wants plus purchasing power.
    • A market is a group of potential customers with wants and the ability to buy a product.
    • Market offering fulfills needs/wants of customers.
    • Value is the difference between customer benefits and costs.
    • Satisfaction is based on exceeding expectations. Quality involves meeting or surpassing expectations.

    Five Core Marketing Concepts

    • Needs, Wants, and Demand- Needs are basic requirements, while wants are shaped by culture and individual preferences. Demands are wants plus the ability to buy.
    • Products/Market Offerings- Products are anything offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use, or consumption that might satisfy a need or want. This includes physical products and services. Market offerings go beyond the product itself and encompass the whole experience.
    • Value, Satisfaction, and Quality Defined by value, satisfaction, and quality, value equates to customer benefits less cost. Satisfaction is a function of exceeding customer expectations, and quality is based on meeting or exceeding them.
    • Exchange, Transactions, and Relationships- Exchange is the act of obtaining a desired object by offering something in return. Transactions are exchanges with specific measures (number of exchanges). Relationships are aimed at building long-term, profitable exchanges among stakeholders.
    • Market- A market is a group of potential customers sharing a need or want that a company's product or service can satisfy. Marketers need to identify their target market.

    • Marketing environment involves external actors/forces impacting successful customer relationships.
    • Businesses use environmental scanning and analysis to understand and adapt to changes.

    • Macroenvironment (External): Demographic, economic, natural, technological, political and cultural forces.
    • SWOT Analysis: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats.
    • Internal factors (strengths, weaknesses) are controllable.
    • External factors (opportunities, threats) are less controllable.
    • Understanding both internal and external contexts allows effective strategy development.
