Mission of the sectorbusiness identify the reason of enterprise existence and its purpose and promoted common values and expectations of customers and among employees

Includes Section scope groups customer needs vertical scope the geographic scope current policies practices

3 Marketing Planning Process

The company must follow the main forces macro-environmental (demographiceconomic technological politicallegal and socialcultural) and the micro (customers competitors distribution channels suppliers) that affect its activity

Opportunities

Marketing opportunity is an attractive arena for marketing activity of the company in which the company will have a competitive advantage

3 Marketing Planning Process- external environment

Kotler amp Keller 2015

Threats

Environmental threat is a challenge that is presented by an unfavorable trend or development environment which could lead to erosion of the position of the company if not taken appropriate marketing action

3 Marketing Planning Process- external environment

Kotler amp Keller 2015

Internal environment analysis finding strengthsweaknesses

One thing is to distinguish the attractive opportunities in the environment and another thing to have the necessary skills to succeed in these opportunities

All factors are not equally important to succeed in an activity or to obtain a new marketing opportunity

3 Marketing Planning Process- internal environment

This analysis tells us that even when an activity has a significant advantage in a factor (ie a distinctive advantage) this advantage does not generate necessarily a competitive advantage

The big question is whether the activity should be limited to those opportunities which now has the necessary advantages or whether you should probably think of better opportunities where you had to acquire or create some advantages

Sometimes an activity is not bad performance because the parts do not have the necessary advantages but because they do not work together as a team

3 Marketing Planning Process- internal environment

Most business sectors are seeking a mixture of objectives include profitability sales growth improving market share risk containment innovativeness reputation and so on

Each business area sets these goals and perform management by objectives

The objectives of the sector should be

Prioritized

Quantitative

Realistic

Consistent

Marketing Planning Process ndash targets

The objectives defines the business direction The strategy provides answers on ldquohow to go thererdquo

Three general types of strategies

Leadership in the cost The company is trying to achieve the lowest cost of production and distribution in order to sell at a price lower than its competitors

Diversification The company focuses on achieving superior performance in an important area of customer interest estimated by the market as a whole

Focus Here the company focuses on one or more small segments

3 Marketing Planning Process ndash strategy

Marketing plans differ from plans of strategic business segments because their focus is found more specifically on a product or market providing more detailed marketing strategies

The analysis of opportunities begins with the collection of information necessary for the micro and macro environment of the company

A marketing information system consists of people equipment and procedures to gather sort analyze evaluate and distribute needed timely and accurate information to marketing decision makers

The marketing information system should be a mixture of what managers think they need what they really need and what is economically feasible

4 Marketing information systems

Marketing information system is a set of procedures and sources used by managers to ensure their daily information on prominent interest developments in the marketing environment

7 Marketing 30

Today the trust more easily grown in the horizontal (consumer-consumer) than in the vertical relations (company-customer)

Consumers have more confidence in each other than they have towards companies

The proliferation of social networks is the evidence of the shift in consumer confidence from the companies to the rest of consumers

Kotler Kartajaya amp Setiawan 2010

7 Marketing 30

Within Marketing 30 the main core of marketing strategy redefined in the form of a triangle where the brand positioning and differentiation are equally important

The triangle complements the model of three i brand identity (identity) reliability of the brand (integrity) and brand image (image)

Kotler Kartajaya amp Setiawan 2010

Positioning Differentiation

Brand

3i

Brand Integrity

7 Marketing 30

Within Marketing 30 once a brand name becomes widely known is no longer belongs to the creator (eg Coca Cola - New Coke in the early 80s IKEA and its attempt to change the font of personalized Futura to Verdana)

The companies will have to accept the fact that the effort to totally influence the brand name journey is almost impossible

Kotler Kartajaya amp Setiawan 2010

Today the trust more easily grown in the horizontal (consumer-consumer) than in the vertical relations (company-customer)

Consumers have more confidence in each other than they have towards companies

The proliferation of social networks is the evidence of the shift in consumer confidence from the companies to the rest of consumers

Within Marketing 30 the main core of marketing strategy redefined in the form of a triangle where the brand positioning and differentiation are equally important

Internal environment analysis finding strengthsweaknesses

One thing is to distinguish the attractive opportunities in the environment and another thing to have the necessary skills to succeed in these opportunities

All factors are not equally important to succeed in an activity or to obtain a new marketing opportunity

3 Marketing Planning Process- internal environment

This analysis tells us that even when an activity has a significant advantage in a factor (ie a distinctive advantage) this advantage does not generate necessarily a competitive advantage

The big question is whether the activity should be limited to those opportunities which now has the necessary advantages or whether you should probably think of better opportunities where you had to acquire or create some advantages

Sometimes an activity is not bad performance because the parts do not have the necessary advantages but because they do not work together as a team

Most business sectors are seeking a mixture of objectives include profitability sales growth improving market share risk containment innovativeness reputation and so on

Today the trust more easily grown in the horizontal (consumer-consumer) than in the vertical relations (company-customer)

Internal environment analysis finding strengthsweaknesses

One thing is to distinguish the attractive opportunities in the environment and another thing to have the necessary skills to succeed in these opportunities

All factors are not equally important to succeed in an activity or to obtain a new marketing opportunity

3 Marketing Planning Process- internal environment

This analysis tells us that even when an activity has a significant advantage in a factor (ie a distinctive advantage) this advantage does not generate necessarily a competitive advantage

The big question is whether the activity should be limited to those opportunities which now has the necessary advantages or whether you should probably think of better opportunities where you had to acquire or create some advantages

Sometimes an activity is not bad performance because the parts do not have the necessary advantages but because they do not work together as a team

3 Marketing Planning Process- internal environment

Most business sectors are seeking a mixture of objectives include profitability sales growth improving market share risk containment innovativeness reputation and so on

Each business area sets these goals and perform management by objectives

The objectives of the sector should be

Prioritized

Today the trust more easily grown in the horizontal (consumer-consumer) than in the vertical relations (company-customer)

Consumers have more confidence in each other than they have towards companies

3 Marketing Planning Process- external environment

Kotler amp Keller 2015

Threats

Environmental threat is a challenge that is presented by an unfavorable trend or development environment which could lead to erosion of the position of the company if not taken appropriate marketing action

3 Marketing Planning Process- external environment

Kotler amp Keller 2015

Internal environment analysis finding strengthsweaknesses

One thing is to distinguish the attractive opportunities in the environment and another thing to have the necessary skills to succeed in these opportunities

All factors are not equally important to succeed in an activity or to obtain a new marketing opportunity

3 Marketing Planning Process- internal environment

This analysis tells us that even when an activity has a significant advantage in a factor (ie a distinctive advantage) this advantage does not generate necessarily a competitive advantage

The big question is whether the activity should be limited to those opportunities which now has the necessary advantages or whether you should probably think of better opportunities where you had to acquire or create some advantages

Sometimes an activity is not bad performance because the parts do not have the necessary advantages but because they do not work together as a team

3 Marketing Planning Process- internal environment

Most business sectors are seeking a mixture of objectives include profitability sales growth improving market share risk containment innovativeness reputation and so on

Each business area sets these goals and perform management by objectives

The objectives of the sector should be

Prioritized

Quantitative

Realistic

Consistent

The objectives defines the business direction The strategy provides answers on ldquohow to go thererdquo

Three general types of strategies

Leadership in the cost The company is trying to achieve the lowest cost of production and distribution in order to sell at a price lower than its competitors

Diversification The company focuses on achieving superior performance in an important area of customer interest estimated by the market as a whole

Focus Here the company focuses on one or more small segments

3 Marketing Planning Process ndash strategy

Marketing plans differ from plans of strategic business segments because their focus is found more specifically on a product or market providing more detailed marketing strategies

4 Marketing information systems

The first step in the marketing management process is the Analysis of marketing opportunities

The analysis of opportunities begins with the collection of information necessary for the micro and macro environment of the company

A marketing information system consists of people equipment and procedures to gather sort analyze evaluate and distribute needed timely and accurate information to marketing decision makers

The marketing information system should be a mixture of what managers think they need what they really need and what is economically feasible

4 Marketing information systems

Kotler amp Keller 2015

Marketing information system is a set of procedures and sources used by managers to ensure their daily information on prominent interest developments in the marketing environment

External environment analysis in four ways

Non-directed observation General to report information which the manager does not have a specific purpose in mind

Directed observation Directed report which contains no active investigation in a more or less clearly defined area or type of information

Informal analysis A relatively limited and unplanned effort to obtain such information or information for a particular purpose

2 Has its own competitors who are trying to be treated with it or to overcome it

3 Has a responsible manager who is responsible for the strategic planning and profit and who controls them more than the factors that influence earnings

3 Marketing Planning Process- external environment

Kotler amp Keller 2015

Internal environment analysis finding strengthsweaknesses

One thing is to distinguish the attractive opportunities in the environment and another thing to have the necessary skills to succeed in these opportunities

All factors are not equally important to succeed in an activity or to obtain a new marketing opportunity

3 Marketing Planning Process- internal environment

This analysis tells us that even when an activity has a significant advantage in a factor (ie a distinctive advantage) this advantage does not generate necessarily a competitive advantage

The big question is whether the activity should be limited to those opportunities which now has the necessary advantages or whether you should probably think of better opportunities where you had to acquire or create some advantages

Sometimes an activity is not bad performance because the parts do not have the necessary advantages but because they do not work together as a team

3 Marketing Planning Process- internal environment

Most business sectors are seeking a mixture of objectives include profitability sales growth improving market share risk containment innovativeness reputation and so on

Each business area sets these goals and perform management by objectives

Diversification The company focuses on achieving superior performance in an important area of customer interest estimated by the market as a whole

Focus Here the company focuses on one or more small segments

3 Marketing Planning Process ndash strategy

4 Marketing information systems

The first step in the marketing management process is the Analysis of marketing opportunities

The analysis of opportunities begins with the collection of information necessary for the micro and macro environment of the company

A marketing information system consists of people equipment and procedures to gather sort analyze evaluate and distribute needed timely and accurate information to marketing decision makers

The marketing information system should be a mixture of what managers think they need what they really need and what is economically feasible

4 Marketing information systems

Kotler amp Keller 2015

Marketing information system is a set of procedures and sources used by managers to ensure their daily information on prominent interest developments in the marketing environment

External environment analysis in four ways

Non-directed observation General to report information which the manager does not have a specific purpose in mind

Directed observation Directed report which contains no active investigation in a more or less clearly defined area or type of information

Informal analysis A relatively limited and unplanned effort to obtain such information or information for a particular purpose

6 Segmentation and positioning

The basis of modern strategic marketing moves in three axes Segmentation Targeting and Positioning

Market segmentation is the process of dividing a market into specific groups of buyers who might want separate products andor marketing mixes

Targeting is the process of preparing segment attractiveness measures and the selection of one or more market segments where we operate

6 Segmentation Targeting and Positioning

Markets consist of buyers and buyers differ from one or more views

They may differ in terms of desires purchasing power geographical location buying attitudes and buying methods

Any from these variables can be used to segment a market

6 Segmentation Targeting and Positioning

The variables are classified into two broad categories

In those based on consumer characteristics Usually they are using geographic demographic and psychographic characteristics

Those that examine consumer attitudes towards a particular product such as the desired advantages the uses for which they are intended the brand and trust

6 Segmentation Targeting and Positioning

3 Marketing Planning Process- external environment

Kotler amp Keller 2015

Internal environment analysis finding strengthsweaknesses

One thing is to distinguish the attractive opportunities in the environment and another thing to have the necessary skills to succeed in these opportunities

All factors are not equally important to succeed in an activity or to obtain a new marketing opportunity

3 Marketing Planning Process- internal environment

This analysis tells us that even when an activity has a significant advantage in a factor (ie a distinctive advantage) this advantage does not generate necessarily a competitive advantage

The big question is whether the activity should be limited to those opportunities which now has the necessary advantages or whether you should probably think of better opportunities where you had to acquire or create some advantages

Sometimes an activity is not bad performance because the parts do not have the necessary advantages but because they do not work together as a team

3 Marketing Planning Process- internal environment

Most business sectors are seeking a mixture of objectives include profitability sales growth improving market share risk containment innovativeness reputation and so on

Each business area sets these goals and perform management by objectives

The objectives of the sector should be

Prioritized

Quantitative

Realistic

Consistent

The objectives defines the business direction The strategy provides answers on ldquohow to go thererdquo

Three general types of strategies

Leadership in the cost The company is trying to achieve the lowest cost of production and distribution in order to sell at a price lower than its competitors

Diversification The company focuses on achieving superior performance in an important area of customer interest estimated by the market as a whole

Focus Here the company focuses on one or more small segments

3 Marketing Planning Process ndash strategy

The analysis of opportunities begins with the collection of information necessary for the micro and macro environment of the company

A marketing information system consists of people equipment and procedures to gather sort analyze evaluate and distribute needed timely and accurate information to marketing decision makers

The marketing information system should be a mixture of what managers think they need what they really need and what is economically feasible

4 Marketing information systems

Marketing information system is a set of procedures and sources used by managers to ensure their daily information on prominent interest developments in the marketing environment

External environment analysis in four ways

Non-directed observation General to report information which the manager does not have a specific purpose in mind

6 Segmentation and positioning

The basis of modern strategic marketing moves in three axes Segmentation Targeting and Positioning

Market segmentation is the process of dividing a market into specific groups of buyers who might want separate products andor marketing mixes

Targeting is the process of preparing segment attractiveness measures and the selection of one or more market segments where we operate

Positioning (or differentiation) is the process of seeking a ldquomarket spacerdquo based on a sustainable competitive position for the company and its offerings to each target market

6 Segmentation Targeting and Positioning

A general approach of market segmentation

Markets consist of buyers and buyers differ from one or more views

They may differ in terms of desires purchasing power geographical location buying attitudes and buying methods

Any from these variables can be used to segment a market

6 Segmentation Targeting and Positioning

The variables are classified into two broad categories

In those based on consumer characteristics Usually they are using geographic demographic and psychographic characteristics

Those that examine consumer attitudes towards a particular product such as the desired advantages the uses for which they are intended the brand and trust

6 Segmentation Targeting and Positioning

Variables for the segmentation of consumer markets

Geographical segmentation

Demographic segmentation (eg age sex)

Psychographic segmentation (eg lifestyle personality characteristics)

Behavioral segmentation (eg loyalty attitude)

7 Marketing 30

Today the trust more easily grown in the horizontal (consumer-consumer) than in the vertical relations (company-customer)

Consumers have more confidence in each other than they have towards companies

The proliferation of social networks is the evidence of the shift in consumer confidence from the companies to the rest of consumers

Kotler Kartajaya amp Setiawan 2010

7 Marketing 30

Within Marketing 30 the main core of marketing strategy redefined in the form of a triangle where the brand positioning and differentiation are equally important

The triangle complements the model of three i brand identity (identity) reliability of the brand (integrity) and brand image (image)

Kotler Kartajaya amp Setiawan 2010

Positioning Differentiation

Brand

Brand Integrity

7 Marketing 30

Within Marketing 30 once a brand name becomes widely known is no longer belongs to the creator (eg Coca Cola - New Coke in the early 80s IKEA and its attempt to change the font of personalized Futura to Verdana)

The companies will have to accept the fact that the effort to totally influence the brand name journey is almost impossible

One thing is to distinguish the attractive opportunities in the environment and another thing to have the necessary skills to succeed in these opportunities

All factors are not equally important to succeed in an activity or to obtain a new marketing opportunity

This analysis tells us that even when an activity has a significant advantage in a factor (ie a distinctive advantage) this advantage does not generate necessarily a competitive advantage

The big question is whether the activity should be limited to those opportunities which now has the necessary advantages or whether you should probably think of better opportunities where you had to acquire or create some advantages

Sometimes an activity is not bad performance because the parts do not have the necessary advantages but because they do not work together as a team

Within Marketing 30 once a brand name becomes widely known is no longer belongs to the creator (eg Coca Cola - New Coke in the early 80s IKEA and its attempt to change the font of personalized Futura to Verdana)

The companies will have to accept the fact that the effort to totally influence the brand name journey is almost impossible

This analysis tells us that even when an activity has a significant advantage in a factor (ie a distinctive advantage) this advantage does not generate necessarily a competitive advantage

The big question is whether the activity should be limited to those opportunities which now has the necessary advantages or whether you should probably think of better opportunities where you had to acquire or create some advantages

Sometimes an activity is not bad performance because the parts do not have the necessary advantages but because they do not work together as a team

The basis of modern strategic marketing moves in three axes Segmentation Targeting and Positioning

Market segmentation is the process of dividing a market into specific groups of buyers who might want separate products andor marketing mixes

Markets consist of buyers and buyers differ from one or more views

They may differ in terms of desires purchasing power geographical location buying attitudes and buying methods

Any from these variables can be used to segment a market

6 Segmentation Targeting and Positioning

The variables are classified into two broad categories

In those based on consumer characteristics Usually they are using geographic demographic and psychographic characteristics

Those that examine consumer attitudes towards a particular product such as the desired advantages the uses for which they are intended the brand and trust

Within Marketing 30 once a brand name becomes widely known is no longer belongs to the creator (eg Coca Cola - New Coke in the early 80s IKEA and its attempt to change the font of personalized Futura to Verdana)

The companies will have to accept the fact that the effort to totally influence the brand name journey is almost impossible
