This helps achieve the marketing objectives of the company/brand The mix needs to clearly differentiate your products from those of your competitors Marketing Mix - Variables The marketing mix focuses on 4 elements: Price Product Place (Distribution) Promotion These variables are all interdependent “Controllable variables” as one can choose, alter & control these Product Mix Product Mix - Definition The physical features of the product, or the intangible aspects of the service This covers things that make the product more attractive to buy Product Mix Product line/range Design, quality, feature, models, style, appearance, size & warranty Packaging type, materials, size, appearance & label Merchandising Service, pre-sale & after sales New products launches Product Mix – Under A Microscope Product mix & line : Launch Phase Blended Spices a mature market What variants to launch, which to push, how to differentiate from competition ?? Brand the variants to be offered eg. Pindi Chhole Masala, Dakshin Sambhar Masala, Khyber Tandoor Masala Packaging : Introduced in standi poly pouches Resealable pouches Product Variables – Under A Microscope Later Stage : More to create excitement around the brand Relevant for high impulse buying category eg. Shampoos – Pantene’s oil fortified shampoo Better the product - Maggi Wheat Atta Reaction to competitors Iodex launching white iodex Product Variables – Under A Microscope Reactions to market scenario : McDonalds has recognized the preference for vegetarian foods among Indians thus they have included vegetarian food in its menu. Pizza Hut outlets being purely vegetarian in places like Ahmedabad, Mumbai Product Variables – Under A Microscope Merchandising done to create a buzz & remain top of mind Eg.McDonald’s merchandising Nemo’s to coincide with the release of Finding Nemo McDonalds agrees to distribute millions of Roger Rabbit cups to its customers Luxor Writing Instruments Ltd. a JV of Gillette and Luxor launched 500 "Gajgamini" range of Parker Sonnet Hussain special edition fountain pens, priced at Rs. 5000. These pens were signed by M.F.Hussain Price Price The exchange value of a product is “Price” Going to sell at a high price and make a lot of profit in the short term Going to sell at a low price to beat the competition and stay in the long term Price 1. 2. 3. A well chosen price strategy should do 3 things: Achieve the financial goals of the firm (eg.: profitability) Fit the realities of the marketplace (will customers buy at that price?) Support a product positioning Price Variables Pricing policies, levels of prices, levels of margins, discounts & rebates Terms of delivery, payment terms, credit terms & instalment facilities Resale price maintenance EG. Xerox's decision to "loan" customers the Xerox 914 (the first commercial push-button office copier) and to charge them only $.05 per copy. Types of Pricing Competitive/Penetration pricing: 3 policies – Premium, Discount & Parity pricing Eg. Akai Colour TV Discount Pricing Baron International the Indian JV of Akai sold colour TVs that were priced below Rs 10,000/- alongwith exciting exchange offers & freebies This changed the rules of the game in entertainment electronics. His strategy was to make people buy rather than sell his product. The strategy was built keeping in mind the pricesensitive and value-conscious Indian consumers Types of Pricing From 2,500 in 1994, Akai sold an amazing 4,50,000 TVs in 1998. Akai sold at wafer-thin margins of 2%. Money was made because of high volumes but was not enough for the manufacturer to take back some home Thanks to this even other manufacturers had to cut back the price of their products forcing Baron to virtually work without profit, even at a loss at times. Baron didn’t build any back-up strength in terms of after sales service or any credible infrastructure to maintain consumer confidence If in 1996-97 Baron had clocked a net profit of Rs 28 crore, June 2001 saw it dip into the red with a net loss of Rs 74.51 crore Types of Pricing Competitive/Penetration pricing: The success of competitive pricing strategy depends on achieving high volume and maintaining low costs. Discount pricing that worked - Cavinkare’s Chik shampoo has a 20% market share as against HLL’s Clinic Plus – 28% Types of Pricing Cost-plus-profit: Add the profit you need to your cost. It is also called cost-orientated strategy and is mainly used by the big contractor of public works. This strategy is only good for a businesses where the customers are public collectivities or government agencies. Types of Pricing Value pricing: Base prices on the value you deliver to customers. For example, when a new technology has a very large success, you can charge high prices to the customer. This practice is also called “skimming”. It is easy when you are in the introductory phase of the product life cycle. Value pricing is common in luxury items. Sometimes the higher the price, the more you sell Eg. Designer clothes Types of Pricing Proactive Pricing : Times of India offering the paper at Rs 2/- on certain days of the week Eventually it extended the pricing through weekdays Circulation grew in leaps & bounds Place Place - Definition Decisions about where to sell the product & how to get it there Depends about where the customers are Includes the "channel of distribution" - all the different middlemen Place Variables Channels of distribution Types of intermediaries Channel design Location of outlets Channel remuneration & dealer-principal relations Physical distribution, transportation, warehousing, inventory levels, order processing Place Variables Physical Distribution : Transportation Costs – Freight, rail, road cost on the rise Need only the best solution as time and reliability are key importance Warehousing & Inventory Cost- Warehousing rent along with cost of labour have been going up Inventory levels have been increasing due to competition & hoping to provide a better product delivery to the channel customers Place Variables Channels of Distribution : Manufacturer Manufacturer Manufacturer User Manufacturer User Manufacturer Manufacturer Retailer User User Mail order User Door to Door Salesman Manufacturer’s Showroom Retailer User Stockist/Distributor Place Variables Proliferation of showrooms/ exclusive outlets Maintain a synergy in ambience, experience, service Sony World Titan Franchising : Manufacturer dos not need to make large investments but a still have a strong network NIIT Oyzterbay Place Variables Modern Format Shops : Supermarkets, department stores & chain stores are the new genre Wide variety at a touch and feel level The Co-operative Network : 3 distribution channels – Consumer co-operative, Supermarkets & Agricultural credit societies The Public Distribution System : Came into existence out of the need to be fair It seek to stabilize prices of essential goods Place Variables Non Store Marketing / Marketing without Distribution Channels: Mail Order Marketing / Mail Order Business Vending Machines Home selling Home Shopping Place - Cases Kitchens Of India available only at supermarkets Ghadi detergent’s success only because it is easily available at all outlets Platini bombed because of non availability of product at all outlets Promotion Variable Promotion -Definition The function of promotion is to affect the customer behavior in order to close a sale.

Promotion : Magazines & print were used Point of sales (Posters, Danglers, Buntings, Shelf Talkers) Mailers to corporates during Diwali for bulk orders Promotion : Since namkeens were impulse purchase items, attractive packaging in different colors influenced purchases. Haldiram's used the latest technology (food items were packed in nitrogen filled pouches) to increase the shelf life of its products. While the normal shelf life of similar products was under a week, the shelf life of Haldiram's products was about six months. The company projected the shelf life of its products as its unique selling proposition. Posters highlighting the shelf life of its products carried the caption 'six months on the shelf and six seconds in your mouth.' Promotion : The company established restaurants in Nagpur and Delhi. In Nagpur an innovative strategy was undertaken to increase its business It facilitated people who were traveling by train through Nagpur station to order food from places where stockists of Haldiram's Nagpur unit were located. The customers could order for lunch/dinner by sending a demand draft (DD) or cheque to the Nagpur unit or giving the same to specified local distributors belonging to the Nagpur unit.
