You will also see how marketing activities lead to lower prices and new and improved products. Economic Benefits of Marketing • New & Improved Products • Lower Prices • Added Value New & Improved Products Example: Personal computers have become smaller, more powerful, and less expensive through competition between makers. Lower Prices Quality Produced Fixed Cost Per Unit 10,000 $2.00 ($20,000 ÷ 10,000) 20,000 .10 ($20,000 ÷ 200,000) Added Value Economic Utilities The functions of marketing add value to a product. That added value in economic terms is called utility. Five Economic Utilities 1. 2. 3. 4. Form Utility Place Utility Time Utility Possession Utility 5. Information Utility Form Utility Involves changing raw materials or putting parts together to make them more useful. It deals with making, or producing things. Example: The parts of a lounge chair— the wood frame, the fabric, the glue and nails, and the reclining mechanism—are less useful by themselves. Putting them together adds form utility. Place Utility Having a product where customers can buy it. Example: Selling directly to the customer through catalogs. Time Utility Having a product available at a certain time of the year or a convenient time of day. Example: Retailers offer large supplies of backpacks in the late summer, near the beginning of the school year. Possession Utility The exchange of a product for some monetary value. In the sales transaction, the customer pays (with cash, check, credit card or debit card) and takes possession of it. Example: Taking credit cards and checks rather than just cash enables customers to buy products. Information Utility Communication with the consumer. To encourage sales, retailers may feature information about products and special offers and inform potential customers through ads, signs or displays. Example: Salespeople explain features of products. Example: Packaging explains qualities and uses. Example: Advertising informs consumers about products.

Thinking Critically Discuss how the marketing skills you would learn in a fast-food restaurant could be transferred to an industrial sales position. Fact and Idea Review Using a ball point pen as an example, explain the concept of form utility. Thinking Critically When handheld calculators were introduced, they sold for $100. As they become popular, more companies introduced better and less expensive ones. Now you can purchase a handheld solar for as little as $1. Provide example of other products that were more costly when they were first put on the market than they are now. Role Play#1: STORE MANAGER Situation: You are to assume the role of manager of a local supermarket. A disgruntled customer (judge) complains to you about how manufacturers and retailers waste money on marketing. The customer (judge) thinks retail prices could be significantly reduced if manufacturers spent less money on marketing their products. Role Play #2: Marketing Intern Situation: You are to assume the role of intern in the marketing department of the Easy Store Corporation, a large company that produces cardboard and plastic storage containers. The company recently appointed a new CEO who was hired to reduce costs and increase profit margins. As a result, the CEO is taking a close look at all departments, including the marketing department. Your supervisor (judge) is the head of the marketing department. Your supervisor (judge) will meet with the new CEO to justify the activities of the marketing department, and has asked you to gather some ideas to aid in this endeavor.
