    Understanding the Marketplace and Customer Needs

    • A market consists of both actual and potential buyers for a product.

    Designing a Customer-Driven Marketing Strategy

    • Market Segmentation: Involves dividing a market into distinct segments of customers.
    • Target Marketing: Focuses on selecting specific segments to pursue.
    • Demarketing: A strategy to reduce demand temporarily or permanently, aiming to shift demand rather than eliminate it.

    Reasons for Demarketing

    • Shortage of supply can necessitate reduced demand.
    • To promote new products when existing product sales need to be curbed.
    • Insufficient sales of current products triggers the need for demarketing efforts.

    Choosing a Value Proposition

    • A value proposition outlines the unique benefits or values a company promises to deliver to customers.
    • Example: BMW positions itself with the slogan "Ultimate Driving Machine."
    • YouTube serves as a platform for global connectivity, information sharing, and inspiration.

    Marketing Management Orientations

      • Common industries that exemplify this approach include blood donations and insurance.
      • It is risky due to reliance on aggressive selling tactics.
    • Car Dealerships: Known for using aggressive sales techniques, highlighting a sales orientation that aims to persuade buyers of their vehicle's necessity compared to competitors.

    • Marketing Concept: Focuses on achieving organizational goals through understanding and fulfilling the needs and wants of target markets better than competitors. This represents an outside-in perspective.

      • Example: Southwest Airlines emphasizes customer service.
      • Intel transitioned from a product orientation to a market orientation in 2005 under new leadership.
