Building a Guerrilla Marketing Plan Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 1 Marketing The process of creating and delivering desired goods and services to customers and involves all of the activities associated with winning and retaining loyal customers. “Secrets” Understand target customers’ needs, demands, and wants before competitors can. Offer them products and services to satisfy those needs, demands, and wants. Provide customers with quality, service, convenience, and value so they will keep coming back. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 2 A Winning Marketing Strategy Three vital resources: People - the most important ingredient in a successful marketing strategy. Information - the fuel that feeds the marketing engine; without it, the marketing engine sputters and stops. Technology - a powerful marketing weapon, but what matters most is how a company integrates technology into its overall marketing strategy. A Guerrilla Marketing Plan Example: Jones Soda http://www.jonessoda.com/ Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 4 Four Objectives of a Guerrilla Marketing Plan Pinpoint the target markets a company will serve Determine customer needs, wants, and characteristics through market research Analyze a company’s competitive advantages and build a marketing strategy around them Create a marketing mix that meets customer needs and wants Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 5 Pinpointing the Target Market First step: Identify the company's target market, the group of customers at whom the company aims its products or services. An effective marketing program depends on a clear, concise definition of the firm's targeted customers, not a “one-size-fits-all approach.” Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 6 Pinpointing the Target Market Key: Understanding target customers’ unique needs, wants, and preferences. Opportunity: Increasing populations of multicultural customers. Target customer must permeate the entire business. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 7 Market Research Market research - the vehicle for gathering the information that serves as the foundation for the marketing plan. How to Conduct Market Research: Define the objective. Collect the data. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 8 Collect the Data Individualized (one-to-one) marketing – a system of gathering data on individual customers and then developing a marketing plan designed specifically to appeal to their needs, tastes, and preferences. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 9 How to Become an Effective One-to-One Marketer Identify your best customers, never passing up the opportunity to get their names. Enhance your products and services by giving customers information about them and how to use them. Collect information on these customers, linking their identities to their transactions. Successful One-to-One Marketing Make sure your company’s product and service quality will astonish your customers. Calculate the long-term value of customers so you know which ones are most desirable (and most profitable). Source: Adapted from Susan Greco, “The Road to Oneto-One Marketing,” Inc., October 1995, pp. 56-66. See customer complaints for what they are - a chance to improve your service and quality. Encourage complaints and then fix them! Know what your customers’ buying cycle is and time your marketing efforts to coincide with it - “just-in-time marketing.” Collect the Data Individualized (one-to-one) marketing – a system of gathering data on individual customers and then developing a marketing plan designed specifically to appeal to their needs, tastes, and preferences. Much valuable information about customers is already hidden inside companies; the key is mining it! Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 11 Data Mining A process in which computer software that uses statistical analysis, database technology, and artificial intelligence finds hidden patterns, trends, and connections in data so business owners can make better marketing decisions and predictions about customers’ behavior. Example: Harrah’s Entertainment http://www.harrahs.com/index2.html Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 12 Market Research Market research is the vehicle for gathering the information that serves as the foundation for the marketing plan. How to Conduct Market Research: Define the objective. Collect the data. Analyze and interpret the data. Put the information to work. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 13 Relationship Marketing Involves developing, maintaining, and managing long-term relationships with customers so that they will keep coming back to make repeat purchases. Steps: Build database of customer information Identify best and most profitable customers Develop lasting relationships with these customers Attract more customers like them Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 14 FISH!

Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 18 The High Cost of Lost Customers If you lose . . . Spending $5 weekly 1 customer a day $ 94,900 Spending $10 weekly $ 189,800 Spending $50 weekly $ Spending $100 weekly Spending $200 weekly Spending $300 weekly 949,000 $ 1,898,000 $ 3,796,000 $ 5,694,000 2 customers a day 189,800 379,600 1,898,000 3,796,000 7,592,000 11,388,000 5 customers a day 474,500 949,000 4,745,000 9,490,000 18,980,000 28,470,000 10 customers a day 949,000 1,898,000 9,490,000 18,980,000 37,960,000 56,940,000 20 customers a day 1,898,000 3,796,000 18,980,000 37,960,000 75,920,000 113,880,000 50 customers a day 4,745,000 9,490,000 47,450,000 94,900,000 189,800,000 284,700,000 100 customers a day 9,490,000 18,980,000 94,900,000 189,800,000 379,600,000 569,400,000 Focus on the Customer Treating customers indifferently or poorly costs the average company from 15% to 30% of gross sales! Replacing lost customers is expensive; it costs five times as much to attract a new customer as it does to sell to an existing one! Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 20 Focus on the Customer About 70% of a company’s sales come from existing customers. Because 20% of a typical company’s customers account for about 80% of its sales, no business can afford to alienate its best and most profitable customers and survive! Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 21 How to Focus on the Customer When you create a dissatisfied customer, fix the problem fast. Encourage customer complaints. Ask employees for feedback on improving customer service. Get total commitment to superior customer service from top managers and allocate resources appropriately. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 22 How to Focus on the Customer (Continued) Allow managers to wait on customers occasionally. Develop a service theme that communicates your attitude toward customers. Reward employees “caught” providing exceptional service to customers. Carefully select and train everyone who will deal with customers. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 23 Guerrilla Marketing Principles Focus on the customer Devotion to quality Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 24 Devotion to Quality World-class companies treat quality as a strategic objective, an integral part of the company culture. Total Quality Management (TQM) - quality not just in the product or service itself, but in every aspect of the business and its relationship with the customer and continuous improvement in the quality delivered to customers. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 25 The Quality DMAIC Process Sustain quality improvements. Make changes to the process and measure improvements. Use statistical tools to find causes of quality problems. Measure important outcomes. Define the problem. Adapted from: Walter H. Ettinger, MD, “Six Sigma,” Trustee, September 2001. P. 14. How Do Americans Define “Quality?” Reliability (average time between breakdowns) Durability (how long an item lasts) Ease of use Quality Known or trusted brand name Low price Quality Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 27 Quality Guidelines Build quality into the process; don’t rely on inspection to obtain quality. Emphasize simplicity in design. Foster teamwork. Establish long-term ties with select suppliers. Provide managers and employees with the training needed to produce quality. Empower workers at all levels of the organization. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 28 Quality Guidelines (Continued) Get managers’ commitment to the quality philosophy. Rethink the processes the company uses now. Is there a better way? Reward employees for quality work. Develop a company-wide strategy for continuous improvement of product and service quality. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 29 Guerrilla Marketing Principles Focus on the customer Devotion to quality Attention to convenience Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 30 Attention to Convenience Is your business conveniently located near customers? Are your business hours suitable to your customers? Would customers appreciate pickup and delivery services? Does your company make it easy for customers to buy on credit or with credit cards? Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 31 Attention to Convenience Are you using technology to enhance customer convenience? Are your employees trained to handle business transactions quickly, efficiently, and politely? Do your employees use common courtesy when dealing with customers? Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 32 Attention to Convenience Does your company offer “extras” to make customers’ lives easier? Can you adapt existing products to make them more convenient for customers? Does your company handle telephone calls well? Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 33 Guerrilla Marketing Principles Focus on the customer Devotion to quality Attention to convenience Concentration on innovation Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 34 Concentration on Innovation Innovation - the key to future success. Innovation - one of the greatest strengths of the entrepreneur, showing up in the new products, techniques, and unusual approaches they introduce. Entrepreneurs often create new products and services by focusing their efforts on one area and by using their size and flexibility to their advantage. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 35 Stimulating Innovation Make innovation a priority in the company. Measure the company’s innovative ability. Set goals and objectives for innovation. Encourage new product or service ideas among employees. Always be on the lookout for new product and service ideas. Keep a steady stream of new products and services coming. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 36 Guerrilla Marketing Principles Focus on the customer Devotion to quality Attention to convenience Concentration on innovation Dedication to service and customer satisfaction Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 37 Dedication to Service Goal: to achieve customer astonishment! How can you improve your service? Listen to customers. Define “superior service.” Set standards and measure performance. Examine your company’s service cycle. Hire the right employees. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 38 Dedication to Service Train employees to deliver superior service. Empower employees to offer superior service. Use technology to provide improved service. Reward superior service. Get top managers' support. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 39 Guerrilla Marketing Principles Focus on the customer Devotion to quality Attention to convenience Concentration on innovation Dedication to service and customer satisfaction Emphasis on speed Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 40 Emphasis on Speed Three aspects of TCM - Time Compression Management: 1. Speeding new products to market. 2. Shortening customer response time in manufacturing and delivery. 3. Reducing the administrative time required to fill an order. Companies using TCM have discovered that manufacturing takes only 5% - 10% of total lead time. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 41 Emphasis on Speed Re-engineer the process rather than try to do the same things - only faster. Study every phase of the business process, looking for ways to shorten it. Create cross-functional teams of workers and empower them to attack and solve problems. Share information and ideas across the company. Set aggressive goals for production and stick to the schedule. Instill speed in the company culture. Use technology to find shortcuts wherever possible. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 42 Marketing on the World Wide Web With an attractive Web site, even the smallest companies can market their products and services around the globe. The Web can be the “Great Equalizer” in a small company’s marketing strategy. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 43 Marketing on the World Wide Web Only about 40% of small companies have Web sites. Result: Small businesses make nearly 50 percent of all retail sales in the U.S., but they account for just 6% of online sales. As a marketing tool, the Web allows companies to engage customers in an interactive rather than passive setting. Chapter 7: Guerrilla Marketing Strategy Copyright 2006 Prentice Hall Publishing Company 44 Marketing on the World Wide Web Challenges: Attracting users to the company’s Web site Converting visitors into paying customers Top-selling items on the Web: Travel services, computers and related products, books, consumer electronics, clothing, and music.
