7. * WHAT IS MARKETING?
* Learning goal 1
* Define marketing and explain how the marketing
concept drives both for-profit and nonprofit
organizations.
MARKETING
is the process of planning and executing the
conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of
goods and services to facilitate exchanges that
satisfy individual and organizational objectives.
Selling and advertising are only part of marketing.
Marketing activities depend on what needs to be done
to fill customers’ needs.
13-7
8. *
THE EVOLUTION OF THE FIELD OF MARKETING
*
THE PRODUCTION ERA
* Until the early 1900s, the general philosophy was to
“produce as much as you can because there is a
limitless market.”
The goals of business
CENTERED ON PRODUCTION.
The greatest marketing need was for distribution and
storage.
THE SELLING ERA
By the 1920s, the business philosophy turned to an
EMPHASIS ON SELLING AND ADVERTISING to sell
existing products.
13-8
9. *
THE MARKETING ERA
*
* The BABY BOOM after WWII created a tremendous
demand for goods and services.
Competition for the consumer’s dollar was fierce.
If they wanted to get their business, businesses had to
be
RESPONSIVE TO CONSUMERS.
The MARKETING CONCEPT emerged in the 1950s.

The MARKETING CONCEPT
*
is a three-part business philosophy:
*
A CUSTOMER ORIENTATION: Find out what consumers
want and provide it.
A SERVICE ORIENTATION: Make sure everyone in the
organization has the same objective–CUSTOMER
SATISFACTION.
A PROFIT ORIENTATION: Focus on those goods and
services that will earn the most profit.
During the 1980s, business began to apply the marketing
concept more aggressively.
13-11
12. * THE CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP ERA
* CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM)
* is the process of learning as much as possible about
custo-mers and doing everything you can to satisfy
them–or even exceed their expectations–with goods
and services over time.
The goal is to enhance customer satisfaction and
stimulate long-term customer loyalty.
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND MARKETING
Marketing is a crucial part of almost all organizations,
profit and nonprofit.
Charities, churches, politicians, states, and many other
organizations all use marketing.
13-12
13. * THE MARKETING MIX
* Learning goal 2
* List and describe the four Ps of marketing.
Pleasing customers has become a priority.
The FOUR FACTORS OF MARKETING are:
Product
Price
Place
Promotion
CONTROLLABLE PARTS of the marketing process
involve:
Designing a want-satisfying PRODUCT
Setting a PRICE for the product
Placing the product in a PLACE where people will buy it
PROMOTING the product 13-13

* MARKETING MIX
* the ingredients that go into a marketing program:
product, price, place, and promotion.
APPLYING THE MARKETING PROCESS
To present an overview of the marketing process, the text
takes a hypothetical vegetarian restaur-ant through
THE MARKETING PROCESS.
The process involves:
Recognizing a need
researching the market
Identifying the TARGET MARKET
The text uses the example of a start-up vegetarian
restaurant, Very Vegetarian.
13-15
16. * DESIGNING A PRODUCT TO MEET NEEDS
* First, develop a product to fill the identified need.
* A PRODUCT
is any physical good, service, or idea that satisfies a
want or need plus anything that would enhance the
product in the eye of consumers, such as the brand.
The next step is CONCEPT TESTING
developing an accurate description of your product
and asking people whether or not the concept (the idea
of the cereal) appeals to them.
TEST MARKETING
is the process of testing products among potential
users.
Next, decide which brand names should be offered to
attract customers.
13-16
17. *
* Product Design
*
• Concept Test
• Test Market
• Package Design/Brand Name
13-17
18. *
A BRAND NAME
* is a word, letter, or group of words or letters that differentiates
* one seller’s goods and services from those of competitors.
These steps create
THE FIRST “P”—PRODUCT.
SETTING AN APPROPRIATE PRICE (the second “P”)
The price depends on a number of factors, such as the price of
competing restaurants.
You also have to consider the costs of pro-ducing, distributing,
and promoting the product.
13-18
19. *
GETTING THE PRODUCT TO THE RIGHT PLACE
* (the third “P”)
*
Once the product is manufactured, you have to decide how to
get it to the consumer.
You may want to sell your product through
INTERMEDIARIES, (MARKETING MIDDLEMEN,)
organizations that specialize in distributing goods from
producer to customer.
DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE
PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY (the fourth “P”)
13-19
20. * PROMOTION
* consists of all the techniques sellers use to
* motivate people to buy products or services.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
WITH CUSTOMERS
includes responding to any suggestions they
may make to improve the product or the
marketing of the product.
13-20
21. *
* Marketing is an ONGOING PROCESS; companies
* must continually adapt to changes in the market.
Listening to customers is the key to marketing.
PROVIDING MARKETERS WITH INFORMATION
Learning goal 3
Describe the marketing research process, and
explain how marketers use environmental scanning
to learn about the changing marketing environment .
13-21
22. *
MARKETING RESEARCH
*
is the analysis of markets to determine opportunities and
* challenges, and to find the information needed to make good
decisions.
One goal is to determine exactly what consumers want and
need, now and in the future.
Businesses need information to compete effectively, and
MARKETING RESEARCH
is the activity that gathers that information.
In addition to customers, marketers should pay attention to the
views of employees, shareholders, consumer advocates, and
other stakeholders.
13-22
23. *
THE MARKETING RESEARCH PROCESS
*
* STEP 1.
Defining the problem and determining the present situation
STEP 2.
Collecting data
Research can be quite expensive, so SOME TRADE-OFF must
be made between information needed and the cost.
13-23
24. * Less expensive is SECONDARY DATA,
* information that has already been published
* previously by others and published in journals and
books or made available online.
Often, secondary data don’t provide all the
necessary information, so marketers must do their own
research.
The result of new studies is PRIMARY DATA, data that
you gather yourself (not from secondary sources such
as books and magazines.)
Despite its name, secondary data should be gathered
first as it is the least expensive.
Telephone surveys, online surveys, mail surveys, and
personal interviews are the most common methods of
gathering survey information.
13-24

* Sources for Marketing
* Research Information

• Government • Surveys
Publications • Focus groups
• Commercial • Interviews

13-25
26. * A FOCUS GROUP
* is of a small group of people who meet under the
* direction of a discussion leader to communicate their
opinions about an organization, its product, or other
given issues.
Marketers can now gather both secondary and primary
data online.
STEP 3.
Analyzing the research data
The data collected must be turned into useful
information.
Careful, honest interpretation of the data can reveal
specific marketing challenges.
13-26
27. * STEP 4.
* Choosing the best solution and implement it
* Researchers determine ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES
and make recommendations as to which strategy may
be best.
The actions taken should be FOLLOWED UP to see if
results were as expected.
Consumers are demanding more ethical behavior from
companies.

29. * GLOBAL FACTORS
* The most important global change today is the growth of the
Internet.
* Globalization has also put pressure on companies that deliver
products.
TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS
include the Internet, the growth of consumer databases, flexible
manufacturing, and mass customization.
SOCIOCULTURAL FACTORS
include population growth and changing demographics, such as
the aging population and the preferences of various ethnic
groups.
13-29
30. * COMPETITIVE FACTORS
* Brick-and-mortar companies must adjust to new competition from
the Internet.
* They have to adapt to competitors, who can deliver products quickly
or provide excellent service.
ECONOMIC FACTORS
Marketers must pay close attention to the economic environment
in the U.S. and globally.
13-30
31. * TWO DIFFERENT MARKETS: CONSUMER AND
* BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS (B2B)
* THERE ARE TWO MAJOR MARKETS:
The CONSUMER MARKET consists of all the individuals
or households that want goods and services for
personal consumption or use.
The BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS (B2B) MARKET consists
of all the individuals and organizations that want
goods and services to use in producing other goods
and services or to sell, rent, or supply goods to others
(traditionally called INDUSTRIAL GOODS.)
The buyer’s REASON FOR BUYING and the END USE
of the product determine whether it is considered a
consumer product or a B2B product.
13-31
32. *
* Business-to-Business
* (B2B)
1. Number
2. Size
3. Geographic
Concentration
4. Rational
5. Direct Sales
6. Personal Selling
13-32
33. * THE CONSUMER MARKET
* Consumer groups differ greatly in age, education level,
* income, and taste.
Marketers must first decide which group to serve and
then develop products and services specially tailored
to their needs (as Campbell Soup Company does.)
MARKET SEGMENTATION
is the process of dividing the total market into groups
whose members have similar characteristics.
TARGET MARKETING
is marketing directly toward those groups (market
segments) an organization decides it can serve profitably.
13-33
34. * SEGMENTING THE CONSUMER MARKET
* Learning goal 4
* Explain how marketers meet the needs of the consumer
market through market segmentation, relationship
marketing, and the study of consumer behavior.
GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTATION
is dividing the market by geographic area.
DEMOGRAPHIC SEGMENTATION
is dividing the market by age, income, and education
level.
PSYCHOGRAPHIC SEGMENTATION
is dividing the market using the group’s values,
attitudes, and interests.
BENEFIT SEGMENTATION
is dividing the market by determining which benefits of
the product to talk about.
13-34
36. *
VOLUME, OR USAGE, SEGMENTATION is
* dividing the market by usage (volume of use.)
* The best segmentation strategy is to USE ALL THE
VARIABLES to come up with a consumer profile that’s
sizable, reachable, and profitable.
REACHING SMALLER MARKET SEGMENTS
NICHE MARKETING
is the process of finding small but profitable market
segments and designing custom-made products for
them.
ONE-TO-ONE MARKETING
means developing a unique mix of goods and services
for each individual customer.
This is easier to do one-to-one marketing in B2B markets,
but is becoming possible in consumer markets as well.
13-36
37. *
* Different Markets
*
• Consumer
• Niche
• One-to-One
• Business-to-
Business (B2B)
13-37
38. *
MOVING TOWARD RELATIONSHIP MARKETING
* MASS MARKETING means developing products and
* promotions to please large groups of people.
The mass marketer tries to sell products to as many
people as possible.
That means using mass media, such as TV, radio, and
newspapers.
RELATIONSHIP MARKETING is a marketing strategy with
the goal of keeping individual customers over time by
offering them products that exactly meet their
requirements.
RELATIONSHIP MARKETING moves away from mass
production toward CUSTOM-MADE GOODS.

13-40
41. *
SOCIOCULTURAL INFLUENCES
* such as reference groups and culture
* Consumer behavior is also influenced by other factors:
LEARNING
involves changes in an individual’s behavior resulting from
previous experiences and information.
A REFERENCE GROUP
is the group that an individual uses as a reference point in
formation of his or her beliefs, attitudes, values, or behavior.
CULTURE
is the set of values, attitudes, and ways of doing things that
are transmitted from one generation to another in a given
society.
.
13-41
42. *
SUBCULTURE
* is the set of values, attitudes, and ways of doing things that
* results from belonging to a certain group with which one
closely identifies.
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE
is the type of psychological conflict that can occur after a
purchase—such as doubts about whether they got the best
product at the best price.
13-42
43. *
The latest in TECHNOLOGY enables sellers to work with
* buyers to determine their individual wants and needs
* and to develop goods and services specifically
designed for those individuals.
One-way messages in mass media are replaced by a
personal dialogue among participants.
The text uses two examples: service firms such as
airlines, rental car companies, and hotels; and the Hard
Rock Café.
THE CONSUMER DECISION-MAKING PROCESS
Studying consumer behavior centers on studying the
CONSUMER
13-43
44. *
PURCHASE DECISION PROCESS:
*
* Problem recognition
Information search
Evaluate alternatives
Make purchase decision
Postpurchase evaluation
Consumer behavior researchers also study the various
INFLUENCES THAT IMPACT CONSUMER BEHAVIOR.
MARKETING MIX VARIABLES (the four Ps)
PSYCHOLOGICAL INFLUENCES such as perception and
attitudes
SITUATIONAL INFLUENCES such as the type of purchase
and physical surroundings
13-44
45. *
* Several factors make
BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS MARKETING
*
DIFFERENT NUMBER:
There are relatively FEW CUSTOMERS compared to the
consumer market.
SIZE
Though few in number, industrial customers are
relatively VERY LARGE.
13-45
46. * GEOGRAPHICALLY CONCENTRATED:
* B2B markets tend to be CONCENTRATED in certain areas of
* the country.
RATIONAL
Business buyers are generally MORE RATIONAL in their
purchase decisions.
DIRECT
B2B sales tend to be DIRECT.
PERSONAL SELLING
There is much more emphasis in personal selling than in the
consumer market.

See text pages: 358-361 Marketing Environment This slide helps to explain the environment under which the marketing manager must operate. Students need to know that marketing is a complex, dynamic environment that is constantly changing. It’s important to note to the class that the environment of marketing is changing faster than at any time in history. Companies that don’t keep up, fail to survive. Today’s marketing environment is influenced by the global marketplace and the explosion of the information age. To be fully prepared, a company must recognize and understand: cultural influences governmental and political influences demographic and lifestyle trends local, national, and world economic trends the strengths of multi-national competitors the influence of technology on physical distribution
Also available on a Transparency Acetate See Learning Goal 2: List and describe the four P’s of marketing. See text page: 352 Elements of the Marketing Mix The critical elements in each of the four Ps of the marketing mix are identified here. This slide is very helpful in illustrating the depth and breadth of the marketing mix. Discuss with the students the importance of creating a difference with your product(s) using value features that are unique, and will distinguish your offerings from your competitors. This slide illustrates the responsibility of the marketing manager to build the four Ps into an integrated marketing program that effectively communicates to the public. Discuss each element separately with the class; ask the students to identify ways they can create value with each of the four Ps?

Ask the students – if they owned a business, such as a coffee house or a retail store, how would they price their products? How often have they seen a price for a product like $2.95 or $2.99 instead of $3.00? Why would businesses offer such prices? (It is more psychological pricing than anything else. It looks like a better price than the next whole number.)

Also available on a Transparency Acetate See Learning Goal 1: Define marketing and explain how the marketing concept applies in both for-profit and non-profit organizations. Marketing Strategies in Non-Profit Organizations This slide identifies many ideas for developing a successful marketing strategy for non-profit organizations. Regardless of the type or size of your organization you will need marketing strategies and techniques to maximize your effectiveness. Nonprofits may consider the following marketing tactics as a part of their marketing program: newspaper inserts cross promotions packaging promotion Corporate newsletters Public relations will play an important role with recognition and support for building strong community goodwill. Based on the following statistics, nonprofit organizations are very successful: During the past 10 years the number of reporting “public charities” grew by 6.3 percent annually. The nonprofit sector includes more than 1 million organizations that spend nearly $500 billion each year – more than the GDP of Brazil, Russia or Australia. Approximately 6 percent of all organizations in the United States are nonprofits, and one in every 15 works for a nonprofit.

Where They Got Their Names This acetate gives the students information on the names of well-known companies. The class should see the relationship of founder’s names and the name of the companies. The practice of naming companies after their founders has changed. The trend for naming companies seeking identity in a post dot-com economy has changed to: less flash; deeper meaning. Share with the class some suggestions from branding consultants on developing company names: Avoid combining parts of words with no meaning on their own (Alliant to Vivient). Refrain from using overly literal terminology (Pets.com, Drugstore.com) there is little or no branding value with this strategy. Companies need to instill warmth and humanity with their names to instill trust and brand recognition.
Also available on a Transparency Acetate See Learning Goal 2: List and describe the four P’s of marketing. Other Things To Keep In Mind With Price This slide identifies other items that affect the pricing decision. Ask the students what would happen if these factors are not considered in pricing decision? (Overall profitability will likely be lower or some stakeholders would be upset and that may affect the business negatively.) Ask the students – Have they experienced any of these types of items in dealing with businesses? How about any other items?
See Learning Goal 2: List and describe the four P’s of marketing. Place Decisions This slide identifies the distribution decisions. Any business would want to decide whether they are going to sell directly to the customers (Dell Computers model) or through an intermediary (Hewlett-Packard model). Next decision deals with whether the market coverage will be intensive (as many outlets as possible), selective (few outlets), or exclusive (single reseller). Other distribution decisions that businesses should consider are inventory and logistics.
See Learning Goal 2: List and describe the four P’s of marketing. Advertising Mascots This slide presents some of the well-known mascots that have appeared in advertising for products. Some of the longest running mascots are MGM lion (78 years) and Tony the Tiger (54 years). Ask the students – Do they recognize these mascots? How do they help organizations? (Help build a brand image.) What are some of the other famous mascots do they remember? (Some other examples are: Mr. Peanut, Aflac Duck, and GEICO’s Gecko.)
Also available on a Transparency Acetate See Learning Goal 3: Describe the marketing research process, and explain how marketers use environmental scanning to learn about the changing marketing environment. Marketing Data: Least Error Method This slide presents the five steps for getting the least error on marketing data. It all starts with making it someone’s responsibility and using both low tech and high tech methods for collecting the data. The focus should be on colleting the right data, not as much as you can get. Finally, keep the data in one place and do something with it useful. Source: cmomagazine.com, September 2004

Why Should You Market To Women? This slide presents some interesting statistics on women. Before showing this slide, you can ask the students to take an educated guess on some of these percentages to see how close or away they are from the real numbers. Looking at these numbers, it is clear that the economic trend in the U.S. suggest that women are becoming the financial decision makers. How should the businesses respond? (Certainly, women should be targeted in marketing and differently.)

Planning For More Business This slide presents the five key questions in developing a marketing plan for generating more business. David Wood, a marketing consultant argues that 7-9 contacts with customers per year are necessary to maintain the relationship. More reminders customers have about you, the more they are likely to buy. Once you have identified your strengths and weaknesses, what you really sell and to whom, and have reviewed your communication to the target market, you need to ensure that the message resonate with them positively. You can do that by engaging in savvy public relations (newsletters, press releases, etc.). Source: Investor’s Business Daily, February 9, 2004

Business-to-Consumer E-Commerce As % of Sales This slide presents the growth of e-commerce in the United States as a percent of total sales. E-commerce sales (B-to-C) in the U.S. was about $25 billion in the first quarter of 2006. This represented a decline of 9.4% from the fourth quarter of 2005.
