What is Marketing? • Your e-book by Pride and Ferrell gave a fantastic definition. It states, “Marketing is the process of creating, distributing, promoting, and pricing goods, services, and ideas to facilitate satisfying exchanges with customers and develop and maintain favorable relationships with stakeholders in a dynamic environment.” The Marketing Mix and Environment Summary – the Marketing Mix The Marketer’s tool box – the Marketing Mix • The product – anything that is offered to consumers for their satisfaction • The price – what consumers give up for the product • The place – where, when and how consumers access and possess the product • Promotion- communication between the provider of the product and the consumer Marketing Mix or The Four P’s • Term used throughout the course. How products are differentiated. • Four components- Product, Price, Promotion and Place (Distribution). What do each of these mean? • Marketing Managers create and control the right mix of these elements to create value and satisfy customer’s needs for a general product type. • They are synergistic and rely on one another for marketing success • Example: A company could have the best product in the world, great price s and promotion. Without good distribution, it may fail. • Figure 2.4 in text shows the importance of the marketing mix as an integral part of developing marketing strategy. (Kotler, 2010) Relationships What is Marketing? • Kotler: “Marketing is the process by which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers in return.” (Kotler, 2010) • Notice that there is a lot of emphasis on establishing value and relationships. • Marketing, more than any other business function deals with the customer and creating value for them. • Notice that there is a lot of emphasis on establishing value and relationships. • Things that are marketed- Goods, services, ideas, personal images The Marketing Process Figure 1.1 (Kotler, 2010) The marketing orientation has evolved • • • • 1st Stage- The production orientation 2nd Stage- The sales orientation 3rd Stage- The marketing orientation 4th Stage- The societal marketing orientation History of Marketing • First era in the history of marketing - “the production era”. • Businesses focused efforts on increasing the efficiency of their production lines. • Henry Ford was known by some as “The Godfather of the Production Era”. • “You can have a car in any color you want…as long as it’s in black.” Henry Ford. What did he mean by that? History of Marketing • Second era- The “sales era”. Occurred prior to the 1950’s. • Idea that creative advertising and selling would convince consumers to buy a product or service. • Third era- The “marketing era” was the third era in the history of marketing. • “Revolutionary idea.” Businesses focused on the needs and wants of the consumer. • The last era might be called the “societal marketing era” Company must consider the different stakeholders of the company in developing their marketing strategies. What is the marketing concept? • A managerial philosophy involving - The satisfaction of consumer needs and wants - The coordination of activities - Satisfaction of goals - In a coordinated way - The basic management process- plan, organize, lead, control What is customer relationship marketing? • Long term • Creates value for the consumer greater than the cost of products • Mutually satisfying • Buyers and sellers both benefit Marketers need to be obsessed with creating value! What is Value? • Benefits minus costs = Value • Benefits are what customers get out of a product • Costs can take many forms -Money -Time -Risk -Aggravation -Other? Marketing is Dynamic • Marketers realize their relationships with consumers is always changing • Importance of some customers - Careful relationships with selected customers - Developing relationships that are deeper and more interactive than typical customers • What companies might you feel a deep and interactive link with? Trends in the Marketing Environment • Consider trends taking place in these areas: -The domestic and global economy -Changes in technology, including communications and computer-based technologies. -Growth in importance of non-profits and NGOs -Trend towards sustainable marketing -Growing diversity and awareness of other cultures -Others? Company and Marketing Strategy • The process of establishing an organizational mission and formulating OVERALL goals, corporate strategy, marketing objectives, marketing strategy, and a marketing plan. • Mission- What the company does currently. • Vision- What the company aspires to do in the future.
