Marketing Orientation Sounds
Easy,Isn’t
• Even the “best” firms sometimes backslide into a
production orientation
• In today’s highly competitive markets it is often
difficult to
– keep up with changing customer needs
– beat aggressive competitors to the punch
– find the right focus -- one that matches the firm’s
objectives and resources to market opportunities
– offer customers superior value

Customer Value Reflects Benefits and
Costs
Customer value concerns the difference between the benefits a
customer sees from a firm’s market offering and the costs of
obtaining those benefits
Costs

Benefits
The customer’s view of costs and benefits is not just limited
to economic (or even rational) considerations--and a low
price may NOT result in superior value...

• One customer’s view of the benefits and costs of a firm’s
market offering may vary from another customer’s view, so
firm may not be able to satisfy everybody with the same
offering.
2-7
• Customer value concept takes the customers point of view,
but customers may not explicitly weigh costs and benefits
and even if they do their view may not match some
“objective” reality.

Agenda and Objectives
“Companies that create the future do more than satisfy
customers, they constantly amaze them.”
~ Hamel and Prahalad
I. Mini-lecture
• What is Entrepreneurial Marketing?
• How Can a Venture “Cross the Chasm”?
• Positioning and Penetration Strategies
II. Positioning Examples
“Market Analysis” Versus
“Marketing”
Step #1: Opportunity Recognition (Market
Analysis)
– Identify a Market Need
– Examine the Competitive Dynamics of the
Industry
– Determine Growth Potential
Step #2: Marketing Strategy
– Develop a Unique Positioning
What is Marketing Anyway?
• Marketing must be more than a sales support
function. Not just ad tag lines. In all kinds of
businesses, it must satisfy “the needs of the
customer by means of the product and the whole
cluster of things associated with creating,
delivering, and finally consuming it.”
• Especially in high technology venturing,
marketing must “invent complete products and
drive them to commanding positions in defensible
market segments.”

Market: Pedigree’s Super Premium
Strategy
• Benefits? Very best product that can be bought,
reassurance, confidence, leads to an enhanced
relationship
• Name? Mr. Dog (later Caesar)
• Product? Very high quality ingredients, wide variety
of flavors, special packaging
• Target Market? Intense relationships, own smaller
dogs, older and urban females
• Price? 17.7 to 30.7 pence per 100 grams
• Advertising? Dog bringing newspaper, slippers, etc.
Results: Fours years later, it had a 10% share of the total dog food
market. The total super premium segment of the market was about 15%
-- about 10% coming from dog food brands and about 5% coming from
fresh foods. In addition, Pedigree's premium brand retained its market
share.
What is the Single Most Important Concept in a
Marketing Strategy?
Positioning (a.k.a. the “Elevator Pitch”)
