“Marketing includes all actions from before the beginning of the production right on through to its use by the customer and its word-of-mouth promotion by the public. Your first step is you’ve got to have a product to market that will market. And you have to groom that product up so you can market it.”

WHAT IS PR? WHAT IS MARKETING?
“Though you will hear people refer to them as if they were interchangeable, the purposes and tools of PR versus Marketing are very different.
In application, PR creates understanding and acceptance of you and your clinic as a leading name. Marketing creates a demand for and sells your healthcare products and services.”
From the book KEYS TO PRIVATE PRACTICE SUCCESS by Harvey Schmiedeke.

“Promo done without survey, magazine ads without survey, fliers without survey, you are going it blind…
“Working without surveys, you could spend thousands a month on promotion and lose it all.

“It takes surveys. It’s no good flying blind or trying to guess at it. You won’t KNOW until you survey.”
“So your first question on all promotion is, ‘Am I absolutely sure, before I invest any money in this promotion (make-up, printing, postage) that people will consider what I am promoting valuable enough to exchange their hard-won valuables for it?’ ”
“The answer lies in the results of your survey. Promotion is always, always, always based on surveys, and it must include the exchange factor.”
“The real test of good promotion is: Are you getting an effective exchange? The exchange may be communication, it may be goodwill, but - are you getting exchange?”
![Page 11: Marketing seminar eng](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062504/55902e381a28abdf508b4592/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

So what are you going for in promotion?
“RESPONSE is the key word here. Whether it’s in terms of services sold or commodities sold or communication or goodwill, it’s response that is the test of all promotion.”
RESPONSES
“In order to get response you’ve got to first find out what people want. You’ve got to find out what people consider valuable. When you know what people want and what they consider valuable, you know what they will respond to.”

SURVEY BUTTONS ARE NOT THE MESSAGE
“The difference between survey buttons and the message in a promo piece must be crystal clear to those working in promotion and marketing.
The first thing to understand is that they are NOT the same thing.
The message is the communication, the thought, the significance you want to get across to an audience or public.
A button is what is used to get the public’s agreement to hear the message”.

SAMPLE OF BUSINESS SURVEY
Hello my name is______________ I’m doing a marketing survey for a group of_______________ in your area. Can I ask you a few questions to get your opinion on (your industry or category of product or service)?
1. What is the most important characteristic you feel a (type of business, professional person, or product) should have? (If they give more than more answer, say “Out of those, which one stands out as most important?”)
2. What do you dislike the most about (type of business, professional person, or product)? (If they answer “cost” or “price”, ask “What do you dislike the second most?”)
3. What would cause you to choose one (product, service, professional person) over another if you had never (used, done business with, gone to) either one?
4. If you had (benefit of product, service, or profession), how would that charge your (business, job, lifestyle, etc)? Would you be able to do anything you’re not doing now?

HOW TO TABULATE A SURVEY
The final tabulation of a survey is very simple… 1. count all the surveys. 2. establish various categories of answers
for each question by listing answers briefly as you go through the surveys.
3. Soon you will be able to merely mark a slant by each category, the slant meaning one more answer of a similar nature.
![Page 23: Marketing seminar eng](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062504/55902e381a28abdf508b4592/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

HOW TO TABULATE A SURVEY
4. Soon you will be able to merely mark a slant by each category of answer. Let’s say you had 1,500 answers of a similar nature to one question and your total number of surveys is 2,500. this means 60 percent gave that similar type of answer (1500/2500).
5. You then list each question and under that question list the categories of answers and the percentage from the highest to the lowest.
6. the only mistake you can make is not to realize the similarity of answers and so have a great diversity of categories. - LRH

Positioning:
“Old advertising tech is worn out… they have a new tech called positioning. “This means putting a subject (like shaving cream) into a relative position with other products. People only remember, they say, by relating one thing to another.”
“A position is where you put a product in somebody’s life or mind and in relation to other products.”
L. Ron Hubbard, Modern Management Technology Defined, “Positioning” p. 398

What’s the name of the first person to fly the Atlantic Ocean solo? Charles Lindbergh, right? What’s the name of the second person to fly Atlantic Ocean solo? Not so easy to answer, is it?

2. THE LAW OF THE CATEGORY
If you can’t be first in a category, set up a new category you can be first in.
The most successful computer company of the seventies and eighties next to IBM was Digital Equipment Corporation. IBM was first in computers. DEC was first in microcomputers.
Many other computer companies became rich and famous by following a simple principle: If you can’t be first in a category, set up a new category you can be first in.

“Most companies are in the No. 2,3,4 or even worse category. What then?
“simply stated, the first rule of positioning is this:
You can’t compete, head-on against a company that has a strong, established position. You can go around, under or over, but never head-to-head.”

The classic example of No. 2 strategy is AVIS. But many marketing people misread the AVIV story. They assume the company was successful because it tried harder.
Not at all. Avis was successful because it related itself to the position of Hertz. Avis preempted the No. 2 position. (if trying harder were the secret of success, Harold Stassen would be President.)
*preempted: to take the place of something else.

Most marketplaces have room for a strong No. 2 company provided they position themselves clearly as an alternative to the leader…

3. THE LAW OF THE MIND
It’s better to be first in the mind than to be first in the marketplace.
The law of mind follows from the law of perception. If marketing is a battle of perception, not product, then the mind takes precedence over the marketplace.
For example, IBM wasn’t first in the marketplace with the mainframe computer. But thanks to a massive marketing effort, IBM got into the mind and won the computer battle early.

4. THE LAW OF PERCEPTION
Marketing is not a battle of products, it’s a battle of perceptions.

5. THE LAW OF FOCUS
The most powerful concept in marketing is owning a word in the prospect’s mind.
A company can become incredibly successful if it can find a way to own a word in the mind of the prospect. Not a complicated word. Not an invented one. The simple are best, words taken right out of the dictionary.

MARKETING:
“The conceiving and packaging and the moving of a specific product into public hands. It means to prepare and take to and place on the market in such a way as to obtain maximum potential and recompense.”
