MARKETING
&
INVENTIONS/INNOVATIONS
There is a mistaken belief that
companies are customer
oriented. But that’s not true; they
are paying lip service. They are
still product centric.
- Marketing Guru Philip Kotler
Are they really marketing oriented?
In
the car Park, the Prime Parking
spots are reserved for Directors &
Senior staff rather than customers
When confronted with a problem
from a customer, an employee will
refer the customer on to another
employee without trying to resolve
the matter themselves.
The company listens to customers
comments & complaints, but has
poorly defined procedures for acting
on them.
Advertising is based on what senior
staff want to say , rather than a
sound analysis of what prospective
customers want to hear.
Goods and services are
distributed through channels that
are easy for the company to set
up, rather than on the basis on
what customers prefer.
MARKETING MANAGEMENT
Market+ Marketing+ Marketing Management
Markets
The word ‘market’ is derived from the Latin word ‘Marcatus’ which
means merchandise ,trade or a place where business is
conducted.
A market is a set of actual and potential buyers
who might transact with a seller.
Sellers constitute the industry and
buyers constitute the market.

A market can be an environment in
which both demand and supply or

to a contact and effect the trade.

Core Marketing Concepts
Needs, Wants, and Demands

Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Adapted 8 level
Hierarchy of
Needs diagram,
based on
Maslow's theory
Transcendence
helping others to self-actualise
Self
Actualization
Aesthetic needs
beauty, balance, form, etc
Cognitive needs
knowledge, meaning, self-awareness
Esteem Needs
(self-esteem)
Social Needs
(sense of belonging, love)
Safety Needs
(security, protection)
Physiological Needs
(hunger, thirst)
Needs
A
human need is a state of felt
deprivation.
An unsatisfied person will do
one of two things:
Look for an object that will
satisfy the needs
Try to reduce the need.

10/02/09
Needs
 People
in industrial societies try
to find or develop objectives that
will satisfy customers’ desires
(e.g., substitutes or alternatives.)
Physiological Needs- for food,
cloth and shelter
Taj Hotles, K.R Bakes
Reymond,Zero, Sowgandhika
Haritha Apartments, Oceanus
Homes etc.
Social Needs for belonging,
affection, fun, and relaxation.
Greeting Cards
Diamond Necklace, Titan Watches
Black Thunder, Veega Land
Movies, Parks etc.
Esteem needs for prestige,
recognition, and fame
BMW car,Omega watches,
member of International Clubs
etc.
Wants

Wants are how people communicate their needs.

Wants are described in terms of objectives that will satisfy needs.

As people are exposed to more objectives that arouse their interest
and desire, producers try to provide more want-satisfying goods and
services.
 Restaurants were once able to satisfy the hunger
 Today’s restaurant customers are more sophisticated and want
and expect hygiene, prestige & quick service along with food.
Wants

The sellers confusing wants and needs suffer from “marketing
myopia.”

They are so taken with their products that they focus only on
existing wants and lose sight of underlying customer needs.
 They forget that a physical product is only a tool to solve a
consumer problem
 The customer have the same need but want a new product
Demands

Customers choose products that produce the most satisfaction
for their money (i.e., economic value) due to the fact that
people have unlimited wants, but limited resources.

When this decision process is backed by buying power, wants
become demands.
 Motel 6 and Sleep Inns mean basic accommodations, a
low price, and convenience.
 Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton mean luxury, comfort, and
status.
Needs, Wants, and Demands

Understanding customer needs, wants, and demands in detail
provides important input for designing marketing strategies.
 All Disney World managers spend one week per year on
the front line – taking tickets, selling popcorn, or loading
and unloading rides.
 Most successful writers personally reads letters and of
guest comment cards submitted by customers.

Managers can identify customer needs, wants, demands
through market research & open door policy.
Product

A product is anything that can be offered to satisfy a need or a want.


The concept of product is not limited to physical objects.
Products include experience, persons, places, organizations, information,
and ideas.

What are some travel and tourism “products” that you can list?
 Disneyworld is an experience.
 Starbucks and Barnes & Noble have turned buying books into an
experience (relaxation).
 Marriott vacation club and Marriott time-share resort create customer
experience such as dolphin safari for its New Port Beach property or
a water rafting trip for its Utah property.

One of the most interesting areas of marketing is product planning and
development.
– Travel industry develops heritage tourism or eco-tourism in response
to customer needs.
Value, Satisfaction, and Quality

Customer value is the difference between the customer benefits from owning
and/or using a product and the costs of obtaining the product.

The purpose of marketing is to generate customer value.
 Free delivery (Domino’s and Pizza Hut)
 Free continental breakfast (by most mid-scale hotels)

Customer satisfaction is perceived value delivered relative to a buyer’s
expectations.
– Customer delight creates an emotional tie to a goods or service, not just a
rational preference, and this creates high customer loyalty.
– Satisfying the guest is not enough, only when guests leave very satisfied
are they likely to come back.

Quality is the totality of features and characteristics of a product or service
that bear on its ability to satisfy customer needs.
– It is closely linked to customer value and satisfaction.
Exchange, Transactions, and
Relationship Marketing

Exchange is the act of obtaining a desired object from someone by offering
something in return.

A transaction is marketing’s unit of measurement and consists of a trade of
values between two parties.
– Monetary transaction
• IBM gives $500 to Hilton and obtains the use of a meeting room.
– Barter transaction
• A restaurant might provide free meals to a radio station in return for
free advertising on that station.
– A transaction involves at least two things of value, a time of agreement,
and a place of agreement.

Relationship marketing is building strong economic relationships with social
ties by following through on promises. Both transaction parties involved
frequently seek long-term benefits.

Marketing- Is a science or an art?
Science- it is a systematised body of
knowledge.
Art- it is the exercise of systematic
knowledge to reap a good result.
Marketing is an art, because;
1. Each marketer applies marketing
concepts in his/her own way
2. The aim is to get satisfaction from
the consumers. The marketer
adjusts or tackles the situation,
aiming to success in his field
3. The success of a marketer
depends on his/her ability and skill
4. As an art, it creates interest,
feelings, satisfaction etc.
5. It deals with human behaviour
6.No scientific approach to deal with a
problem/situation
7. Re-testing of marketing situation is
little bit of difficult
Marketing cannot be called as exact
science like physics, chemistry etc.
1.Of course, it developed as a body
of theory
2.Systematic approach can be
developed to handle the situations
3. In marketing research,
scientific method of study is
adopted-setting hypothesis,
testing hypothesis, generalising
in to the theories etc.
We can conclude that Marketing
is an art as well as science

Societal Marketing Concept



The pure marketing concept ignores possible conflicts between short-run
consumer wants and long-run societal needs.
Organization should determine the needs, wants, and interests of target
markets and deliver the desired satisfaction more effectively and
efficiently than competitors in a way that maintains or improves the
consumer’s and society’s well-being.
Societal marketing concept starts with the question about whether the
marketing concept is adequate in an age of environmental problems,
– Laws that increase restaurant liability for serving excessive alcoholic
beverages to guests.
– Disapproval of nutritional value of product sold in fast-food
restaurants
– Eco-tourism
– Laws against resort development
Marketing Ethics
 Ethics
is essentially about the definition of what
is right and wrong
 But what is write and what is wrong?-difficult
to define
 Ethics is more or less affected by the culture of
a particular region/country
 Whether marketers should give importance to
ethics?
Marketing Management

planning, implementation, and control of programs
designed to create, build, and maintain beneficial

Marketing Management Philosophies
 Manufacturing
(Production)
 Product
 Selling
 Marketing
 Societal Marketing
Manufacturing Concept

Consumers favor available and highly affordable
products.

Management should improve production and distribution
systems.

However, don’t forget the customer!
 Manufacturing oriented restaurant after dining hours.
Customers are forced to cluster in one section of the
restaurant, thus creating unnecessary density and
customer dissatisfaction.  this is usually done to
facilitate cleaning or to enable to wait staff to provide
service with a minimum of walking.
Product Concept



Consumers prefer existing products and product forms.
Management’s job is to develop good versions of these
products.
Inward focused like the Manufacturing Concept, so don’t
forget your customers!
– Recent trend of seeking healthy food.
– Victoria Station was a restaurant chain that
specialized in excellent prime rib. They had an
excellent product by maintaining the juices and
avoiding shrinkage of the beef. Unfortunately, many
customers no longer wanted red meat. They want
chicken, seafood, and pasta.
Selling Concept



Consumers will not buy enough products unless the company
undertakes large selling and promotion efforts.
Aim is to maximize sales without worrying about customer
satisfaction.
Fails to establish a long-term relationship with customers because
the sellers do not concern creating a product to meet the needs of
the market
– Restaurants often advertise when sales start to drop, without
first analyzing why sales are dropping. They do not try to
change their product to fit the changing market. They push
their products on the customer through increased advertising
and couponing. Eventually, they go out of business because
their product no longer satisfies the needs of the marketplace.
Market Concept



Achieving organizational goals depends on determining the needs
and wants of target markets and delivering desired satisfaction
better than competitors
Creates long term customer relationships
Frequently confused with “Selling Concept”.
– The selling concept takes an inside-out perspective. It starts
with the company’s existing products and calls for heavy
selling and promoting to achieve profitable sales.
– The market concept starts with a well-defined market, focuses
on customer needs, and integrates all the marketing activities
that effect customers. It meets the organizational goals by
creating long-term customer relationships based on customer
value and satisfaction.
