meri marketing

• A Professor at one of the IIM's (INDIA) was explaining marketing concepts to the Students:-– 1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and

say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" - That's Direct Marketing – 2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a

gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says: "He's very rich. Marry him." - That's Advertising

– 3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: "Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me." - That's Telemarketing

About Marketing….

– 4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say: "By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me?" - That's Public Relations

– 5. You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says: "You are very rich! Can you marry me?" - That's Brand Recognition

– 6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. - That's Customer Feedback

– 7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband. - That's demand and supply gap

– 8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person comes and tells her: "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she goes with him - That's competition eating into your market share

– 9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: "I'm rich, Marry me!" your wife arrives. - That's restriction for entering new markets

What is Marketing ?We use the word Marketing to describe such things as• analyzing the needs of the people• trying to guess what types of products they want• estimate how much they will buy• predict when they want to buy• determine where they go to buy the stuff

What is Marketing ?

…. And,• figure out the best price to sell it at - and can you still make a profit

selling it at that price• decide on promotional things to create awareness about the product• look at the competition to see what they are doing with pricing,

features etc.

Marketing is concerned with anticipating consumer demand and directing flow of goods from producers to consumers.

Marketing has to do with matching producers’ outputs to consumers’ inputs [ needs & wants ].

Serving the needs of customers is what business should be all about …

Marketing is the business function that interprets customer needs to the rest of the organization.

Marketing should begin with the customer needs - NOT with the production process. Mkt. should anticipate needs.

Process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individuals and organizational objectives.

Marketing - the formal definition

Why should we know about Mkt.?

• Also, Cause,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, marketing people in a company bring in the moneybring in the money - so their jobs are important, so they get paid a lot.

• If you get involved in the marketing side, you are being involved in the INCOME side of the company and your job is very critical (ie. - hard to ever fire you or lay you off)

The Importance of Marketing

running a business, big or small

• When you buy a product - the cost of marketing amounts to 40 ~ 60% of the totaleg. If we buy shoes for Rs.800, Rs.400 of that 800 has been spent on marketing (including advertising, market research, development etc.)

Marketing

• Marketing is something companies do, and it is also a characteristic of our society

• “It is both a set of activities performed by organizations, and a social process”

Micro - marketing for a company

Macro - the whole economy

Micro - marketing for a company, things you do to accomplish the organizations objectives (companies and NPO’s)

Macro - the whole economy and its flow of goods and services from producers to consumers

Micro - Its not just selling stuff, but also looking at what the customers want

Macro - Looking at how everybody in the country can have access to things they need. Government has to make sure everybody has fair access.

Micro-Macro Dilemma

• Government has to step in cause not everything would be produced fairly by companies - so regulation needed

• Ex .1: It would be cheaper to make cars without airbags and seatbelts - but Govt. insists they must – so, it has to be done.

Micro-Macro Dilemma

• Government has to step in cause not everything would be produced fairly by companies - so regulation needed

• Ex. 2: It would be cheaper to make beer cans from raw material cause the price of mineral ore is low - but the Govt. insists a certain % must be recycled to reduce waste and pollution

WHO does the marketing functions ?

From a Macro-point of view• Centrally planned economy (communism)

- its done mostly by the government• Market-direct economy (capitalism)

- its done by various companies, middlemen, brokers etc.

Innovation is encouraged by a market-directed economy (capitalism) because people who come up with new ideas are free to try and market them and make a fortune. In a communist country, government has strict controls on the “means of production” so there is a limit to what people can manufacture.

In a capitalist economy, people are always trying think of new ways to satisfy un-met needs, and, this encourage new thinking

Advocacy Advertising

• You are not trying to sell a product, you are trying to get people to believe in something, or behave in a certain wayeg.- Don’t drink and drive- Canadian Cancer Society- recycle- use the TTC, save gas

One of the big complaints about marketing is that ppl act unethical in order to make a sale.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that morals are based on your own cultural standards and in different cultures, people have different opinions about what is ethical.

Eg. Bribery is perfectly acceptable in some parts of Asia and Latin America, but unacceptable in USA and Canada

Marketing Concept - Social Responsibility

- “improve positive effects on Society and reduce negative effects…”

- environmental problems- social responsibility conflicts with profit

objective(raises ?, is mktg concept desirable)

Marketing Concept - Social Responsibility

-? Of social responsibility cutting into profits

- some companies have been very successful at dealing with this eg. BODY SHOP

- they realize it is a way to endear themselves to trendy customers

Marketing Concept - Social Responsibility

-? What if it cuts into profitsAnswer - increasing quality may cost more in

production, but you may make this money back in increased sales which come about as the customers realize you have a very good quality product - this will reduce the advertising costs and customer service/warranty costs and ensure customer satisfaction re: brand loyalty

• The most important aspect of any company’s Marketing concept is identifying its SWOT Analysis.

• What is SWOT analysis?

SWOT Analysis - Examples

• Example 1 - Wal-Mart SWOT Analysis. Strengths - Wal-Mart is a powerful retail brand. It has a reputation for value for money, convenience and a wide range of products all in one store. Weaknesses - Wal-Mart is the World's largest grocery retailer and control of its empire, despite its IT advantages, could leave it weak in some areas due to the huge span of control. Opportunities - To take over, merge with, or form strategic alliances with other global retailers, focusing on specific markets such as Europe or the Greater China Region. Threats - Being number one means that you are the target of competition, locally and globally.

• Example 2 - Starbucks SWOT Analysis. Strengths - Starbucks Corporation is a very profitable organization, earning in excess of $600 million in 2004.Weaknesses - Starbucks has a reputation for new product development and creativity. Opportunities - New products and services that can be retailed in their cafes, such as Fair Trade products. Threats - Starbucks is exposed to rises in the cost of coffee and dairy products.

• Example 3 - Nike SWOT Analysis. Strengths - Nike is a very competitive organization. Phil Knight (Founder and CEO) is often quoted as saying that 'Business is war without bullets. 'Weaknesses - The organization does have a diversified range of sports products. Opportunities - Product development offers Nike many opportunities. Threats - Nike is exposed to the international nature of trade.

• Example 4 - Indian Premier League (IPL) SWOT Analysis. Where will you find the Mumbai Indians, the Royal Challengers, the Deccan Chargers, the Channai Super Kings, the Delhi Daredevils, the Kings XI Punjab, the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Rajesthan Royals? In the Indian Premier League (IPL) - the most exciting sports franchise that the World has seen in recent years, with seemingly endless marketing opportunities (and strengths, weaknesses and threats of course!).

• Example 5 - Bharti Airtel SWOT Analysis. Weaknesses - An often cited original weakness is that when the business was started by Sunil Bharti Mittal over 15 years ago, the business has little knowledge and experience of how a cellular telephone system actually worked. So the start-up business had to outsource to industry experts in the field.

Replaying the Game• P&G: “We sell coffee” vs. “We sell canned coffee of moderate quality in groceries”• The brand we have built to sell mid-tier coffee will not cater to gourmet coffee

position as its made of Robusta rather than Arabica beans. So we need to launch a new brand that preempts the quality position. We may need a new design (DSD), but we’ve done radical stuff before!

• Most restaurants, food chains and institutions sell Coke or Pepsi (branded) but unbranded coffee. Once our gourmet brand is established in grocery stores, we may be able to move into the institutional market (after all, we sell to Wal-Mart!)

• Whole bean provider: Could have built a brand by opening a café division. Took 7 years for Brothers to catch on. By opening the café format, regional whole bean providers could have built brand loyalty. Especially as they do not have P&G’s deep pockets. If the regional whole bean provider launched in 1991, could have built a national brand. By 1994, it was too late.

• Starbucks: May have missed an opportunity by not aggressively expanding via franchising. Region by region rollout gave competitors / imitators time to preempt in certain markets. This way it would have “conquered” the retail business and could have focused more fully on institutional and grocery markets.

Caselet-1• While entering a developing country like India, MNCs should

consider the factors to which consumers in India are sensitive. One such factor is price. Indian consumers are price sensitive. They always looks for value of money. This explains the success of Nirma washing powder which forced HLL to come out with a low prices detergent Wheel. Also the success of a product depends on the tastes and preferences of customers. Once McDonald’s customized its products according to the tastes and preferences of the Indian customers, it found acceptability in the market. Thus, before entering the Indian market, MNCs should do a proper study of the customers’ tastes and preferences , and this is particularly applicable to food products, because in India, food habits differ from region to region.

Caselet-2

• During recession, most companies resort to downsizing and cutting costs related to advertising. But advertisement plays a crucial role in creating demand for goods. So it is not advisable to reduce costs related to advertising, rather expenditure on advertisements should increase during a recession. At this time, they build up their brands. If they do so, the companies will be in a competitive position once the recession is over and demand for goods picks up. Brand – building always involves spending on advertisements, packaging etc. Advertising during recession is also advisable because it reminds consumers about the product, and prevents the product from getting erased from consumers’ mind.
