The marketing process
There is a link between a market
orientation (also called an external or
customer orientation) and business survival
•
•
Companies with well-defined marketing
strategies outperform companies without
them
Key marketing success practices will
ensure the organisation’s success – this
includes effective implementation!

Marketing as a
way of doing business
Marketing – a process whereby marketers
seek to develop a unique and innovative
solution to a customer problem in order for
the customer to fulfil a need. This view
sees marketing as a philosophy of business
Customers are at the core of marketing, and
knowledge of the customers is a prerequisite
for successful marketing
Chapter 16
Copyright John Wiley & Sons 2007
Marketing as a business function
This view of marketing believes that the
marketing communication and promotion
functions is the major activity of marketers,
and the marketing department is simply
another functional support unit like HR and
Finance
It is a commonly-held but erroneous view
(equivalent to the old ‘Marketing is just selling
or promotion’ belief)

Marketing as a way of doing
business leads to success
An integrated and cohesive business that has
customers’ core interests at heart is likely to
send a consistent and relevant message to
customers, something vital for survival in our
cluttered environment
Chapter 16

Marketing as a way of doing
business leads to success
• Marketing is the process of developing and implementing
creative solutions to buyer problems.
• Organisational size does not determine the need for
marketing.
• Marketing is the
engine of business
– the growth driver
needed to stay
ahead.
Challenges in implementing the
marketing concept
Returning to an internally focused orientation
– Commitment shown by the company is
a key indicator of probable success
Resisting change
– Change management is needed to
implement the concept
– Silo mentalities have to be eradicated
and structures may have to change as
well

Challenges in implementing the
marketing concept (cont'd)
Proliferation
• Distribution channels, products, customer
segments – reducing effectiveness
• Hard to capture the attention of consumers
A couple of questions:
•
•
How many SKUs are in the average
supermarket today?
How many SKUs does an average family
use?

Challenges in implementing the
marketing concept (cont'd)
Lacking a long-term outlook
– short-term focus on results — common
– Long-term results may require the
sacrificing of short-term profits, and this
tends to be unpopular
– Brand identity
(the total proposition that is made to
customers) depicts the organisation, but
it takes a long term to develop and build
Chapter 16

Challenges in implementing the
marketing concept (cont'd)
– Lifetime value
The longer customers remain with a
company, the more profitable they are to
serve.
From a company’s viewpoint,
marketing's prime role is to increase
profitable demand for products and
services

Challenges in implementing the
marketing concept (cont'd)
Ways of increasing shareholder wealth:
Rationalisation
– Cutting costs and investments will work
in the short term
– may damage long-term capabilities
Growth
– Investments may take years to become
profitable
– existing or new customers or markets

Implementing marketing strategies
Marketing implementation is the process of
executing, controlling and evaluating
marketing strategies
While often considered less favourably
than strategic planning, it can determine
whether the strategy adopted is successful
Chapter 16

Approaches to
marketing implementation
Internal marketing — Attract, motivate and
retain staff with jobs that satisfy their
needs (by allowing them to understand
and accept their roles)
Marketing techniques employed:
– Market segmentation
– Product development (job descriptions)
– Research (HR satisfaction surveys)
– PR and sales promotion

Customer Relationship Management
(CRM) — Using information about
customers to better meet their needs,
and develop and sustain long-term
relationships
• It can avoid duplication of data input, and
requests for data from the customer.
• CRM is growing from the increase in
customer contact services

your marketing campaigns?

Customer relationship management
Failure to implement CRM successfully
comes from:– Failure to adopt CRM as a business
strategy
– Failure to plan adequately (<60% of
projects)
– Poor data quality (eliminate ‘dirty data’
and use data mining)
– Lack of employee ‘buy-in’ — different
geographies unsuccessful implementation
Chapter 16

Organising marketing activities
• Appropriate organisational structure and
relationships can lead to a Distinct
organisational culture (a shared set of
beliefs that customers are the pivotal point
of all activities), that
• Connects and coordinates the individuals,
and also
• Connects and coordinates the SBUs,
divisions and departments.
Chapter 16

Organising marketing activities
(cont'd)
Marketing interacts with other functions in
many key areas
The marketing unit has to be internally
structured and organised to be effective
• Centralisation versus decentralisation
• There is no single approach to all
situations (functions, products, regions or
types of customers or combinations of can
be used).
Chapter 16
Copyright John Wiley & Sons 2007
Organising marketing activities
(cont'd)
• Organising by functions – (MR, PD,
distribution, sales, advertising and
customer relations)
• Organising by products – different product
groups, lines or products
• Organising by regions – or subregions,
nationally or internationally
• Organising by types of customers – retail
or wholesale or institutional, B2B or B2C
