What is Marketing?
 Marketing
is more than just advertising
and selling. It involves identifying
consumer's needs and wants and
meeting them in such a way that the
producer makes a profit.
Product Led v Market Led
Can you think of more examples?
Product Led
 This
is when a firm invents a product
without finding out if it is what consumers
want.
 Successful
products usually come from
new inventions and technologies
 Some
product led companies struggle to
do well.
Market Led
 This
is when firms use market research to
find out what consumers want, then they
make it.
 This
product is usually useful and
successful as they have listened to what
their customers want.
Market Research

order to be successful, you need to
know what your customers want.

brings many tangible rewards if a business

Introduction


Growth


as product becomes well-known through word of
mouth, sales increase rapidly.
Maturity


product is launched onto the market; advertising and
promotion begin; sales are increasing slowly.
sales reach their peak and start to level off.
Decline

sales fall as demand decreases.
Extension Strategies

A company can extend the lifecycle of a
product by injecting new life into it, using
extension strategies.

This can be done through the 4P’s:




Product – altering packaging, new features
Price – changing the price
Promotion – new promotion, special offers
Place – changing location sold e.g. Internet
Extension Strategy
Price
 Your
price should appeal to consumers,
however, consumers look at pricing in 2
ways:

if it is too low, they think that the quality
may be poor

if it is too high, they will think it is not worth
the money
Price - strategies
Long Term

High (Premium) price


Market Price


Price set above competition to give an impression of
high quality
Price set at the same as competition and they
compete on other factors
Low Price

Price set below competition to offer customers value
for money
Price - strategies
Short Term

Penetration


Skimming


Price set high initially while no competition exists. Price gradually
dropped as competition enter the market.
Destroyer


Price set below competition initially. Once customer base has
been established price is then raised.
Large companies set price artificially low (loss leader) to
eliminate competition and gain more market share. Once
competition is gone the price can be raised.
Cost Plus

This is simply calculated by working out the cost per item and
then adding on a percentage for profit.
