Definition of Marketing
Identifying evolving consumer preferences,
then capitalizing on them through the
creation, promotion and delivery of products
and services that satisfy the corresponding
demand. This is done by solving the right
customers’ problems, giving them what they
want or need at the time and place of their
choosing, and at the price they are willing to
pay.

There are 40 mountain restaurants in the
Zermatt area.
The market for these restaurants is hikers and
skiers.
The only way to get to the restaurant in the
summer is to hike 30 minutes up the mountain
from Zermatt or hike 20 minutes down from the
nearest gondola.
In the winter one reaches the restaurant on skis
or snowshoes.
All the supplies for the restaurant are brought in
by tractor during the summer and on a motorized
snow sled in the winter.
The employees get to the restaurant by hiking
and sliding down on a wooden sled.

The Concept of Marketing
 Marketing
is the integration of all the
professional disciplines required to
determine the nature of consumer
demand, then develop, promote, and
deliver the products and services
that will satisfy that demand.

Purpose of a Business

It is the customer who determines what a
business is.
– For it is the customer, and he alone, who is willing to pay
for a good or for a service.
– What the business thinks it produces is not of first
importance—especially not to the future of the business
and to its success.
– What the customer thinks he is buying, what he
considers “value,” is decisive—it determines what a
business is, what it produces, and whether it will
prosper.*

Solving Customers’ Problems
(cont.)

Customers experience simultaneous
production and consumption
– The solution needs to meet the expectation to
create value and satisfy the customer
– If the solution does not meet the expectation,
the result is an unsatisfied customer
