Market offers

information, or experiences offered to a
market to satisfy.
 Marketing offers are not limited to physical
products, it includes services, activities, or
benefits offered for sale that are intangible
and do not result in the owner ship of
anything“ Example: banking, airline,
hotel…”.

such as persons, place, organization,
information, and ideas.

Market Offers
Marketing myopia
“the mistake of paying more attention to the
specific product a company offers then to the
benefits and experiences produced by these
products”

Marketers shouldn’t focus only on existing
wants and lose sight of underlying customer
needs ………………... they should create
brand meaning and brand experiences
(Example: Coca-Cola, Nike)
 The product is only a tool to solve a consumer
problem.


various marketing offers and buy accordingly.


 Past buying experience.

product’s performance lives up to the customer’s
expectations.
Marketers must be careful to set the right level of
expectation.

from someone by offering something in
return
 One exchange is not the goal,
relationships with several exchanges are
the goal
 Relationships are built through
delivering value and satisfaction

Markets
The Market is:
“ The set of actual and potential buyers of
a product.”



specific markets.

and targeting)
How can we serve these customers best? (value
proposition)
Select Customer to Serve

Marketers decide who they will serve by dividing
the market into segments of customers. And select
which segment they will go after (target
marketing).
 Market segmentation: “ dividing a market into different
groups with similar needs, characteristics, or behaviors”
 Target marketing: the process of evaluating each
market segment’s attractiveness and selecting one or
more segment to enter.

Demand management
Marketers must deal with different demand states
ranging from no demand to too much demand.
Choosing the Value Proposition

The company must decide how it will serve
targeted customer-how it will differentiate and
position it self.
 Differentiation: the way that you make your business
or product more desirable than all the others like it.
(Example: Mercedes “Unlike any other” – BMW
“Ultimate Driving Machine”)
 Positioning: Is the process by which marketers try to
create an identity in the minds of their target market
for its product, brand, or organization. It is the image
their product occupies in a given market as perceived
by the target market. (Example: Honda – BMW)
Value Proposition:
“Is the set of benefits or values a company
promises to deliver to consumers to satisfy their
needs


customers?
 There is fewer customers to go around due to
sophisticated competitors, and overcapacity in most
industries

make over a life-time of patronage.

costs accurately or objectively.
