![Page 10: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Satisfy Consumers’ Requirements
• Businesses are often said to be consumer focused - without consumers the business would fail
• Good quality and value for money are essential
• Prompt delivery, after-sales care and price are crucial
![Page 11: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Profitability?
• Some organisations use marketing where profitability is not an objective
• Examples include schools and hospitals
![Page 12: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
American Car Industry
• American manufacturers tended to ignore trends taking place in the rest of the world where small, economical vehicles with lower engine capacities were capturing an ever-increasing share of the market.
• American vs Japanese beliefs over the market in America
• 1970s - fuel, labour and raw material costs made American cars expensive to buy and run.

Swatch
• 1980s - well executed marketing plan
• An inexpensive, good-quality quartz analog watch could rival the saturated digital market
• Watches were to be a fashion accessory first and a watch second
• Repeat purchasing was encouraged
• Point of Sale was chosen carefully - not to flood the market
![Page 14: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Marketing is far more than just selling the product.
• It is concerned with what is to be sold, how it is to be sold, when it is to be sold and where it is to be sold.
![Page 15: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Product-Orientated Organisations
• Feeling of no need for change or product development – no real competition
• May be a new invention

![Page 17: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Customer-Orientated Organisations
• Modification of products or services in response to changes in the market
• Profits/success depend on meeting customer needs

“the breaking down of markets into increasingly homegeneous sub-groups that can be targeted with a specific marketing mix”
Kotler
![Page 30: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Product Development
• see Additional Handout
• New products have an extremely high failure rate – only 2% of product ideas become successful products
![Page 79: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Price
An important indicator of quality and image providing consumers with a way of making value-for-money judgements.
![Page 80: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Different Markets … Difference in Importance
• White Emulsion Paint: – Price is critical
• Fashion Clothing: – Price outweighed by style
and design
![Page 81: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
What Price?
• The price for a product should be based on what the customer is prepared to pay:– Competitors’ prices– Position of product in PLC– Cost of manufacture– Time of Year– Profit Level Expected– Suppliers’ Prices– Point of Sale– State of The Economy– Government Pressure
![Page 82: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
![Page 83: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Pricing
• Long-Term Strategies– Low Price– Market Price– High Price
• Short-Term Tactics– Skimming– Penetration– Destroyer– Promotional– Demand Orientated
![Page 84: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Long-Term Pricing
• Low Price: – Where there is Price Elasticity of Demand ie low prices
= much higher sales. Used where no brand loyalty, eg supermarket DVDs and CDs are lower than market price
• Market Price– Where price competition is of no benefit eg petrol
prices (no effect on demand)
• High Price:– High-quality premium goods/services– USPs or patents– Where supply of goods is restricted– Newly launched innovative products
![Page 85: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Short-Term Pricing
The next slides illustrate examples of Short-Term Pricing Strategies …
![Page 86: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Price Skimming
• Company launches a new product
• High initial price allows R&D costs to be recouped before competitors enter the market
• Price will gradually fall
• Most common example: Home Electronics
![Page 87: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Penetration Pricing
• Competitors already sell in the market
• Set a price lower than competitors
• Once the product is popular, the price is raised
![Page 88: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Destroyer Pricing
• Trying to eliminate the Competition – setting an artificially low price
• Business will make a loss initially
• Prices will then rise possibly above current market price
![Page 89: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Promotional Pricing
• Boosting sales in the short-term
• eg Supermarkets use promotional pricing as loss-leaders
• Attracts customers (hopefully to buy other products too!)
![Page 90: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Demand-Orientated Pricing
• Prices varies with demand
• eg crops– Higher price when poor harvest – less
supply available
see price discrimination on the next slide
![Page 91: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Price Discrimination
• Different Prices for the same product!
• Depends on the time of day, year or usage
• Can you think of some examples?
![Page 92: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Setting the Selling Price
• Cost-plus pricing: – adding a % profit to the cost of
manufacture
• Contribution pricing:– Taking the total cost of manufacture
(including wages etc) and sharing among the number of units expected to be sold. If the price is set above the contribution to fixed costs a profit will result
![Page 93: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Place
• The Channel of Distribution is:
“the route taken by a product as it passes from the producer to the consumer”.
• Ownership of goods not physical movement.
![Page 94: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
The Channels of Distribution
![Page 95: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
The Channels of Distribution
• Each link in the chain means the end cost to the consumer will be higher:– Transportation– Storage– Advertising– Insurance
• Each reseller will want to make a profit for the service they are providing
![Page 96: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Agents
• Provide a link between buyer and seller in exchange for commission
• Often used by organisations entering a foreign market – knowledge of laws etc.
• Examples: – estate agents– travel agents
![Page 97: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)

Wholesaler
• Provides a link between producer and retailer– Source of marketing information

marketing mix (poor promotion)
![Page 100: HBM Marketing CMD](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102600/555be1add8b42a38078b4b5c/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
