Sloan Space not updated on a regular basis "Technical difficulties" Fast speech by Prof. Frederick Various topics not covered in sufficient depth Lack of quantitative work I don’t know who I am working with for the final project

– too disorganized. I don’t really like group projects Bringing the name board is a painWould like to learn more about the psychology involve

• Market Size vs. Market Share

• Estimate total annual demand for plastic diapers

• "Hierarchy of Effects" model

• 3 methods for forecasting demand

– historical trends

– surveys

– test markets

Market size vs.Market share

Proton-Pump Inhibitors

Promoting Primary Demand (market size)

or Selective Demand (market share) • in 1907, an advertising executive for Campbell's Pork and

Beans found that 94% of housewives cooked their own

beans from scratch.

• Campbell's had 36% market share. 7 competitors

collectively had 64% market share.

• In blind taste test, Campbell's got the highest ratings of all

the brands

• Should Campbells run an ad that focuses on the time saving of using canned beans, or should it focus on the fact that it has a better product than its competitors?

Demand = f (x,y,z,…)

Different levels of demand forecasts

What is the potential annual demand

for plastic diapers?

• 4 million babies delivered each year in U.S. • Babies defecate about 10 times per day at birth • Children defecate about 4 times per day at age 3 • Few kids are toilet trained before age 2 • But almost all are toilet trained by age 3

Computing total diaper demand

Hierarchy-of-Effects Model

UNAWARE

AWARE

TRIAL

REPEAT

3 bases of demand forecasts:

• What people have done – extrapolation (time series analysis) – statistical demand analysis • What people say they will do – surveys • What people actually do – laboratory markets – test markets

Trend Analysis

Statistical Demand Analysis

# cans of soda = -140 + 6X – .002Y

What people say they will do

____ I definitely would not buy ____ I might buy ____ I definitely would buy

Simulated markets Laboratory market: • respondents given $20 • complete initial survey (perceptions & preference) • shown advertising for competing brands & new brand • enter simulated retail store with, say, deodorants • spend any amount of money from $0 to $20 • samples given to those who do not buy new product • "purchasers" vs. "free samples" recorded • follow-up telephone interview

Test markets

Actual test market: • Product is actually "launched" in a limited way

• What types of cities are chosen?

• What is the benefit of a test market?

• For what types of goods are test markets not feasible?

• What are drawbacks to test marketing?

Key Points or "Take Aways" • Company can grow by expanding market size or stealing market share • Size of the potential market depends on how broadly one thinks about the product (Are coffee and beer substitutes?) • Often useful to decompose forecasts – unaware → aware – aware → trial – trial → repurchase • 3 methods of demand forecasts – historical trends (dangers of extrapolation) – surveys (dangers of trusting reports; answers "labile") – test markets (dangers of competitors fiddling & stealing)
