Fundamental Marketing
Concepts• The process for base management shifts
the marketer to building a relationship,
nurturing the links, enhancing the benefits
that sold the buyer in the first place, and
improving the product/service

Concepts of Marketing
• Marketing is focused on the task of conveying company and
product related information to specific customers.
• Multitude of decisions (strategies) are made within the
marketing domain on what information to deliver, how much
information to deliver, to whom to deliver, how to deliver,when to deliver, and where to deliver.
• Once the decisions are made, there are numerous ways
(tactics) and processes that could be employed in support of
the selected strategies

Core Concepts of Marketing
• Needs, Wants & Demands
• Needs: Needs are the basic human
requirement.
• People need food, water, clothing, shelter to
survive.
• People also have strong need for
recreating, education & entertainment.

Core Concepts of Marketing
• Demands : Demands are wants for specific products backed by an ability to
pay. Many people want a Mercedes; only
a few are willing and able to buy one.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 15/76
Core Concepts of Marketing
• The distinction between Needs, Wants &
Demands helps to understand the
frequent criticism that “marketers create
needs” or “marketers get people to buy
things they don’t want”
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 16/76
Core Concepts of Marketing
• Needs Preexist marketers.
• Marketers, along with other societal
factors, influence wants.
• Marketers might promote an idea (ex.
Buying a Mercedes) would satisfy a
person’s need for social status but they do
not create the need for social status.

Core Concepts of Marketing
• We can distinguish among five types of needs: Stated needs (the customer wants an inexpensive car).Real needs (the customer wants a car who operating cost,
not its initial price, is low).
Unstated needs (the customer expects good service fromthe dealer).Delight needs (the customer would like the dealer to
include an onboard navigation system).Secret needs (the customer wants to be seen by friends as
a savvy consumer).

Marketing Mix
• The marketing mix is generally accepted as the use
and specification of the four Ps describing the strategic
position of a product in the market place.
•In the early 1960s, Professor Neil Borden at HarvardBusiness School identified a number of company
performance actions that can influence the consumer
decision to purchase goods or services
• Borden suggested that all those actions of the
company represented a “Marketing Mix”.

Marketing Mix
• E. Jerome McCarthy divided marketing
into four general sets of activities. His
typology has become so universally
recognized that his four activity sets, theFour Ps, have passed into the language.

Marketing Mix
• Product : The product aspects of marketing
deal with the specifications of the actual
goods or services, and how it relates to
the end-user’s needs and wants. Thescope of a product generally includes
supporting elements such as warranties,
guarantees, and sup

Marketing Mix
• Pricing : This refers to the process of
setting a price for a product, including
discounts. The price need not be
monetary - it can simply be what isexchanged for the product or services,
e.g. time, energy, psychology or attention.

Marketing Mix – 7p s
• People: Any person coming into contact with customers canhave an impact on overall satisfaction. Whether as part of asupporting service to a product or involved in a total service,people are particularly important because, in the customer'seyes, they are generally inseparable from the total service . As
a result of this, they must be appropriately trained, wellmotivated and the right type of person. Fellow customers arealso sometimes referred to under 'people', as they too canaffect the customer's service experience, (e.g., at a sportingevent).
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 30/76
Marketing Mix – 7p s
• Process: This is the process (es) involved
in providing a service and the behaviour of
people, which can be crucial to customer
satisfaction.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 31/76
Marketing Mix – 7p s
• Physical evidence: Unlike a product, a service cannot be
experienced before it is delivered, which makes it
intangible. This, therefore, means that potential
customers could perceive greater risk when deciding
whether to use a service. To reduce the feeling of risk,thus improving the chance for success, it is often vital to
offer potential customers the chance to see what a
service would be like. This is done by providing physical
evidence, such as case studies, testimonials or demonstrations.

Marketing Mix – Four New Ps
• Personalization: It is here referred customization of
products and services through the use of the
Internet. Early examples include Dell on-line and
Amazon.com , but this concept is further extended
with emerging social media and advanced
algorithms. Emerging technologies will continue to
push this idea forward.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 33/76
Marketing Mix – Four New Ps
• Participation: This is to allow the
customer to participate in what the brand
should stand for; what should be the
product directions and even which ads torun. This concept is laying the foundation
for disruptive change through
democratization of information.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 34/76
Marketing Mix – Four New Ps
• Peer-to-Peer: This refers to customer networks andcommunities where advocacy happens. The historicalproblem with marketing is that it is “interruptive” in nature,trying to impose a brand on the customer. This is most
apparent in TV advertising. These “passive customer bases” will ultimately be replaced by the “active customer communities”. Brand engagement happens within thoseconversations. P2P is now being referred as SocialComputing and is likely to be the most disruptive force in
the future of marketing.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 35/76
Marketing Mix – Four New Ps
• Predictive modeling: This refers to
algorithms that are being successfully
applied in marketing problems (both a
regression as well as a classificationproblem).
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 36/76
The Product Life Cycle (PLC)
• The Product Life Cycle (PLC) is based upon
the biological life cycle. For example, a seed is
planted (introduction); it begins to sprout
(growth); it shoots out leaves and puts downroots as it becomes an adult (maturity); after a
long period as an adult the plant begins to
shrink and die out (decline).
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 37/76
The Product Life Cycle (PLC)
• In theory it's the same for a product. After a period of development it is introduced or launched into the market;it gains more and more customers as it grows; eventuallythe market stabilises and the product becomes mature;
then after a period of time the product is overtaken bydevelopment and the introduction of superior competitors, it goes into decline and is eventuallywithdrawn. However, most products fail in theintroduction phase. Others have very cyclical maturity
phases where declines see the product promoted toregain customers.

Strategies for the differing stages of the
Product Life Cycle
• Introduction
The need for immediate profit is not a
pressure. The product is promoted to create
awareness. If the product has no or fewcompetitors, a skimming price strategy is
employed. Limited numbers of product are
available in few channels of distribution

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 41/76
Strategies for the differing stages of the
Product Life Cycle
• Maturity
Those products that survive the earlier stages tend to
spend longest in this phase. Sales grow at a decreasing
rate and then stabilise. Producers attempt to differentiate
products and brands are key to this. Price wars andintense competition occur. At this point the market
reaches saturation. Producers begin to leave the market
due to poor margins. Promotion becomes more
widespread and use a greater variety of media.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 42/76
Strategies for the differing stages of the
Product Life Cycle
• Decline
At this point there is a downturn in the market. For
example more innovative products are introduced or
consumer tastes have changed. There is intense
price-cutting and many more products are
withdrawn from the market. Profits can be improved
by reducing marketing spend and cost cutting

Strategies for the differing stages of the
Product Life Cycle
• Problems with Product Life Cycle
In reality very few products follow such a prescriptive
cycle. The length of each stage varies enormously The
decisions of marketers can change the stage, for example
from maturity to decline by price-cutting. Not all productsgo through each stage. Some go from introduction to
decline. It is not easy to tell which stage the product is in.
Remember that PLC is like all other tools. Use it to inform
your gut feeling.

Place, distribution, channel, or
intermediary• Another element of Neil H.Borden's
Marketing Mix is Place. Place is also
known as channel, distribution, or
intermediary. It is the mechanism throughwhich goods and/or services are moved
from the manufacturer/ service provider to
the user or consumer
Pl di t ib ti h l
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 45/76
Place, distribution, channel, or
intermediary• There are six basic 'channel' decisions:• Do we use direct or indirect channels? (e.g. 'direct' to a
consumer, 'indirect' via a wholesaler)
• Single or multiple channels
• Cumulative length of the multiple channels
• Types of intermediary (see later)
• Number of intermediaries at each level (e.g. how manyretailers in Southern Spain).
• Which companies as intermediaries to avoid 'intrachannelconflict' (i.e. infighting between local distributors)
Pl di t ib ti h l
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 46/76
Place, distribution, channel, or
intermediary• Selection Consideration - how do we decide upon a distributor?
• Market segment - the distributor must be familiar with your targetconsumer and segment.
• Changes during the product life cycle - different channels can beexploited at different points in the PLC e.g. Foldaway scooters are now
available everywhere. Once they were sold via a few specific stores.• Producer - distributor fit - Is there a match between their polices,
strategies, image, and yours? Look for 'synergy'.
• Qualification assessment - establish the experience and track recordof your intermediary.
• How much training and support will your distributor require?

Place, distribution, channel, or
intermediary• Types of Channel Intermediaries.
• There are many types of intermediaries such as
wholesalers, agents, retailers, the Internet,
overseas distributors, direct marketing (frommanufacturer to user without an intermediary),
and many others. The main modes of
distribution will be looked at in more detail.

Place, distribution, channel, or
intermediary• Channel Intermediaries - Agents• Agents are mainly used in international markets.
• An agent will typically secure an order for a producer and will take acommission. They do not tend to take title to the goods. This means thatcapital is not tied up in goods. However, a 'stockist agent' will holdconsignment stock (i.e. will store the stock, but the title will remain with
the producer. This approach is used where goods need to get into amarket soon after the order is placed e.g. foodstuffs).
• Agents can be very expensive to train. They are difficult to keep control of due to the physical distances involved. They are difficult to motivate.

Place, distribution, channel, or
intermediary• Channel Intermediaries - Retailers
• Retailers will have a much stronger personal relationship with theconsumer.
• The retailer will hold several other brands and products. A consumer willexpect to be exposed to many products.
• Retailers will often offer credit to the customer e.g. electrical wholesalers,or travel agents.
• Products and services are promoted and merchandised by the retailer.
• The retailer will give the final selling price to the product.
• Retailers often have a strong 'brand' themselves e.g. Ross and Wall-Martin the USA, and Alisuper, Modelo, and Jumbo in Portugal.

Place, distribution, channel, or
intermediary• Channel Intermediaries - Internet• The Internet has a geographically disperse market.
• The main benefit of the Internet is that niche products reach a wider audience e.g. Scottish Salmon direct from an Inverness fishery.
• There are low barriers low barriers to entry as set up costs are low.
• Use e-commerce technology (for payment, shopping software, etc)• There is a paradigm shift in commerce and consumption which
benefits distribution via the Internet

Promotion
• Another one of the 4P's is 'promotion'. This includes all of
the tools available to the marketer for 'marketing
communication'. As with Neil H.Borden's marketing mix,
marketing communications has its own 'promotions mix.'
Think of it like a cake mix, the basic ingredients arealways the same. However if you vary the amounts of one
of the ingredients, the final outcome is different. It is the
same with promotions. You can 'integrate' different
aspects of the promotions mix to deliver a unique
campaign

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 55/76
Promotion
• 1. Personal Selling
Personal Selling is an effective way to manage personal
customer relationships. The sales person acts on behalf
of the organization. They tend to be well trained in the
approaches and techniques of personal selling. However sales people are very expensive and should only be used
where there is a genuine return on investment. For
example salesmen are often used to sell cars or home
improvements where the margin is high.

Promotion
• 2. Sales PromotionSales promotion tend to be thought of as being allpromotions apart from advertising, personal selling, andpublic relations. For example the BOGOF promotion, or Buy One Get One Free. Others include couponing,money-off promotions, competitions, free accessories(such as free blades with a new razor), introductory offers(such as buy digital TV and get free installation), and soon. Each sales promotion should be carefully costed andcompared with the next best alternative

Promotion
• 3. Public Relations (PR)Public Relations is defined as 'the deliberate, planned and sustained effort to establish and maintain mutual understanding between an organization and its publics' (Institute of Public Relations). It is relatively cheap, butcertainly not cheap. Successful strategies tend to belong-term and plan for all eventualities. All airlines exploitPR; just watch what happens when there is a disaster.The pre-planned PR machine clicks in very quickly with avery effective rehearsed plan.

Promotion
• 4. Direct MailDirect mail is very highly focussed upon targeting consumersbased upon a database. As with all marketing, the potentialconsumer is 'defined' based upon a series of attributes andsimilarities. Creative agencies work with marketers to design a
highly focussed communication in the form of a mailing. Themail is sent out to the potential consumers and responses arecarefully monitored. For example, if you are marketing medicaltext books, you would use a database of doctors' surgeries asthe basis of your mail shot

Promotion
• Trade Fairs and ExhibitionsSuch approaches are very good for making new contactsand renewing old ones. Companies will seldom sell muchat such events. The purpose is to increase awarenessand to encourage trial. They offer the opportunity for companies to meet with both the trade and theconsumer. Expo has recently finish in Germany with thenext one planned for Japan in 2005, despite a recentdecline in interest in such events.

Promotion
• AdvertisingAdvertising is a 'paid for' communication. It is used todevelop attitudes, create awareness, and transmitinformation in order to gain a response from the targetmarket. There are many advertising 'media' such asnewspapers (local, national, free, trade), magazines and journals, television (local, national, terrestrial, satellite)cinema, outdoor advertising (such as posters, bus sides).

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 61/76
Promotion
• Sponsorship
Sponsorship is where an organization pays to
be associated with a particular event, cause or
image. Companies will sponsor sports eventssuch as the Olympics or Formula One. The
attributes of the event are then associated with
the sponsoring organization

Pricing Strategies
• There are many ways to price a product.
Let's have a look at some of them and try
to understand the best policy/strategy in
various situations.

8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 64/76
Pricing Strategies
• Premium Pricing
Use a high price where there is a uniqueness
about the product or service. This approach is
used where a a substantial competitiveadvantage exists. Such high prices are charge
for luxuries such as Cunard Cruises, Savoy
Hotel rooms, and Concorde flights.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 65/76
Pricing Strategies
• Penetration Pricing
The price charged for products and
services is set artificially low in order to
gain market share. Once this is achieved,the price is increased. This approach was
used by France Telecom in order to attract
new corporate clients.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 66/76
Pricing Strategies
• Economy Pricing
This is a no frills low price. The cost of
marketing and manufacture are kept at a
minimum. Supermarkets often haveeconomy brands for soups, spaghetti, etc.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 67/76
Pricing Strategies
• Price SkimmingCharge a high price because you have a substantialcompetitive advantage. However, the advantage is notsustainable. The high price tends to attract newcompetitors into the market, and the price inevitably fallsdue to increased supply. Manufacturers of digital watchesused a skimming approach in the 1970s. Once other manufacturers were tempted into the market and thewatches were produced at a lower unit cost, other marketing strategies and pricing approaches areimplemented.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 68/76
Pricing Strategies
• Premium pricing, penetration pricing,
economy pricing, and price skimming are
the four main pricing policies/strategies.
They form the bases for the exercise.However there are other important
approaches to pricing
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 69/76
Pricing Strategies
• Psychological Pricing
This approach is used when the marketer
wants the consumer to respond on an
emotional, rather than rational basis. For example 'price point perspective' 99 pence
not one pound
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 70/76
Pricing Strategies
• Product Line Pricing
Where there is a range of product or
services the pricing reflect the benefits of
parts of the range. For example car washes. Basic wash could be £2, wash
and wax £4, and the whole package £6.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 71/76
Pricing Strategies
• Optional Product PricingCompanies will attempt to increase the amount
customer spend once they start to buy. Optional
'extras' increase the overall price of the product or
service. For example airlines will charge for optionalextras such as guaranteeing a window seat or
reserving a row of seats next to each other
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 72/76
Pricing Strategies
• Captive Product Pricing
Where products have complements,
companies will charge a premium price where
the consumer is captured. For example arazor manufacturer will charge a low price and
recoup its margin (and more) from the sale of
the only design of blades which fit the razor.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 73/76
Pricing Strategies
• Product Bundle Pricing
Here sellers combine several products in
the same package. This also serves to
move old stock. Videos and CDs are oftensold using the bundle approach.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 74/76
Pricing Strategies
• Promotional Pricing
Pricing to promote a product is a very
common application. There are many
examples of promotional pricing includingapproaches such as BOGOF (Buy One
Get One Free).
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 75/76
Pricing Strategies
• Geographical Pricing
Geographical pricing is evident where
there are variations in price in different
parts of the world. For example rarityvalue, or where shipping costs increase
price.
8/14/2019 Marketing Management - Amit
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-management-amit 76/76
Pricing Strategies
• Value Pricing
This approach is used where external
factors such as recession or increased
competition force companies to provide'value' products and services to retain
sales e.g. value meals at McDonalds
