9. Marketing Myopia
Failure to recognize the ‘scope of the business’
Product-oriented rather than customer-oriented
management endangers future growth. e.g. railway,
movies etc.
Customers do not buy products, they buy solution or
benefit.
The needs would stay the same but the wants
would change
10. Exchange
Exchange is the act of obtaining a desired object
from someone by offering something in return.
The essence of marketing is a transaction or
exchange.
Marketing occurs when people decide to satisfy
needs and wants through exchange relationships.

product.
These buyers share a particular need or want that can
be satisfied through exchange relationships.

marketing strategy
Marketing management is the art and science of
choosing target markets and building profitable
relationships with them.
Find, attract, keep & grow target customers by
creating, delivering & communicating superior
customer value.
The marketing manager must answer:
What customers will we serve? (Target market)
How can we best serve these customers? (Value
proposition)
13. Selecting customers to serve
‘You can’t keep everybody happy’
‘By trying to serve all the customers, they may
not serve any customers well’
Market segmentation refers to dividing the
markets into segments of customers.
Target marketing refers to which segments to go
after.
Market segmentation must take place before a
target market is determined.
14. Market segmentation is the process of dividing a
market into separate subsets that behave in the
same way.
Segmenting is done by:
Demographics - age, sex, income, race etc.
Geographic - international, city, state, national, climate,
etc.
Psychographics - personality, lifestyle, political party, etc.
Behavioral characteristics - consumption status, brand
loyalties, shopping habits, etc.
15. Demarketing
In case of excess demand, companies may practice
demarketing to:
Reduce the number of their customers
Shift their demand temporarily or permanently
Example – WAPDA, Sui Gas
16. Choosing a value proposition
‘Differentiating & Positioning yourself in the market’
The value proposition is the set of benefits or
values a company promises to deliver to customers
to satisfy their needs.
It answers customer’s question – ‘why I should buy
your brand rather than a competitor’s?’
Example: Nokia is connecting people, where as
Apple iphone is touching is believing.
18. Production concept

will favor products that are available or highly
affordable.

guides sellers.
Although useful in some situations such as highly
competitive, price sensitive markets but can lead
to marketing myopia.

Convince buyers that it is a better product
20. Selling concept
Selling concept is the idea that consumers will
not buy enough of the firm’s products unless it
undertakes a large scale selling and promotion
effort.
Focus is on creating sales transactions rather than
on building long term profitable customer
relationship.
The aim is to sell what the company makes rather
than making what the market wants.
21. Marketing concept is the idea that achieving
organizational goals depends on knowing the
needs and wants of the target markets and
delivering the desired satisfactions better than
competitors do.
Customer focus and value are the paths to sales
and profits.
The job is not to find the right customers for your
product but to find the right products for your
customers.
22. Societal marketing
Societal marketing concept is the idea that a
company should make good marketing decisions
by considering consumers’ wants, the company’s
requirements, consumers’ long-term interests, and
