marketing goals. Once these goals are set it is necessary to select
and analyze the organization target market.

2- Market Segmentation – The total market is seen as being
composed of many smaller components. The total market for most
products is too varied.
The organization breaks down the total market into several groups
and then selects one or more of these groups as its target market.
Then a separate marketing mix is developed for each of these
segments.
Market segmentation is customer oriented – it identifies the needs
of customer.
Ex. Car manufacturer – separate marketing mix developed to reach
people who needs cars but has a range of vehicles to reach
different groups.

The product life cycle presents the company with two major
challenges.
1- To develop a process for finding new products to
replace again ones.
2- The company must understand how products age,
and adapt its market strategies for products as
they pass through different life cycles.
Chapter 5:

2- Categories of new product development.
There are three categories.
a- Really innovative and truly unique.
b- Replacements for existing products that are
significantly different,
Ex. New fashion cloths, new model cars.

the company (copying someone else’s product).
Chapter 5:
PRODUCT
I. PRODUCT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
B. Product Development
3- Important of new product development
Why is an important to continue develop new products
a- Existing products will eventually become obsolete
as their sales volume and market share are
reduced by competitive products.
b- As a product ages, its profits generally decline.
Therefore if those products are not changed or
replaced, the company’s sales and profits will
reduce and eventually the company will fail.
c- The introduction of a new product at the proper time
help to maintain the company’s profit.
Chapter 5:

Chapter 5:
PRODUCT
II. PRODUCT LINE AND PRODUCT MIX STRATEGIES
1- Product line
A product line is a group of products that are closely related,
because they function is a similar manner, are sold to the same
customer group, are marketed through the same types of outlets
and cost about the same.
Product length decisions
- A product line is too small if the company can increase
profit by adding items.
- A product line is too long if the company can increase
profit by dropping items.
Chapter 5:

III. PRODUCT BRANDING
Product branding is the way that product is presented to the customers.
Why is it that people choose certain products and not others? The
Buyers choice may be influenced by the guarantee offered or by an
attractive package.
A Brand is a name, symbol, special design or a combination of
these that identify the goods of the seller a brand separates one
sellers product from those of competitor.
A Brand name consists of words, letter or number that be vocalized
A Brand mark is the part of the brand that appears in the form of a
symbol, design or distinctive colouring or lettering. It is recognized
by sight.
A trademark is a brand that is given legal protection – it is a legal
term. All trademark are brands and include works, letter and
pictures.
Chapter 5:
PRODUCT
III. PRODUCT BRANDING
Importance of brands
-Makes it easier for customers to identify products.
-Assures customers that they are getting the same quality when
they buy again.
-For sellers, brands are something that can be when advertised
and that will be recognized by the customers displayed in shops.
Reasons for not branding
-Companies unable maintains a consistent output or unwilling to
promotions the brand.
-Some things are difficult to brand, e.g. Fresh fruit and vegetables
-Products graded as poor quality – sold through different
channels at reduced prices.
-No name brands are generally cheaper in quality and price.
Chapter 5:
PRODUCT
III. PRODUCT BRANDING
Characteristics of a good brand.
-Brand says something about the product, e.g. Free and lovely
shampoo, cool charm deodorant.
-Should be easy to pronounce, spell and remember, e.g. 555,
ARA, Nokia.
-should be distinctive to capture attention, e.g. Poison the name
of a very expensive perfume.
Chapter 5:
PRODUCT
IV. PRODUCT PACKAGING
1-Reason for packaging
-Safety –in handling and storing
-Against wrong use. e.g. child proof bottles.
-Helps to identify the product – once two different brands are
opened you cannot tell the difference.
-To attract customers though attractive packaging.
2-Packaging Strategies
Changing the package
Why do companies change packaging?
-To stop decrease in sales and attract a new group of
customers
-To correct any fault in an existing package.
-To take advantage of new material.
Chapter 5:
PRODUCT
IV. PRODUCT PACKAGING
2-Packaging Strategies
Types of packaging
-reusable. e.g. Jars that can be used for other purpose
after the contents are finished.
-Multiple packaging – more that one item in the same
package, proved to increase sales.
-Disposable packaging – which covers most packaging.
There are many criticisms of this type of packaging.
e.g. -Big problem with disposal.
-Depletes our natural resources.
-Health hazard. e.g. Aerosol cans, plastic
packaging.
Chapter 5:
PRODUCT
V. PRODUCT LABELING
The label is the part of package that carries information about
product. A label may be part of the package or it may be a tag
attached directly to the products.
Some products by law, must carry labels which gives the customer
some information about the product.
e.g. -Weights and measures,
-Public health,
-Poisons,
-Pharmaceutical goods.
-Chemicals.
Chapter 5:
PRODUCT
V. PRODUCT LABELING
So that covers the areas of branding, packaging and labelling. A
well prepared program for product planning and development will
also include the following features:
-Product design
-Product color
-Product quality
-Product warranty.
Chapter 6:
PRICE
I. PRICING OBJECTIVES
The major pricing objectives are
1- To earn a return on investment or sales.
2- To maximize profits.
3- To increase sales.
4- To gain or hold a target share of the market.
5- To match competitions prices.
6- To increase buyer.
Chapter 6:
PRICE
II. FACTORS INFLUENCING PRICE DETERMINATION
1-Estimated demand for the product
-The “expected” price – what customers think its worth. This
provides a general guide to the price.
-Market it in a few test areas and check buyers reaction to
prices.
-Estimating demand at different price levels.
2-Target share of the market
The market share targeted by a company is a major factor
in determining the price.
A company trying to increase its market share may sell
cheaper or offer discounts.
Chapter 6:
PRICE
II. FACTORS INFLUENCING PRICE DETERMINATION
3-Competitive reactions
Present and potential competition must be considered.
Decision on whether to enter the market at a high price or
low price.
High profit pricing may be suitable for new products because :
-In the early stages, little competition.
-”Insurance” against setting the wrong price. If the original
price is too high and the market does not respond,
management can easily lower the price. If the original price
is too low and does not cover cost, then it is difficult to
increase the price.
-High initial price can keep demand within the company’s
production capacity.
Chapter 6:
PRICE
II. FACTORS INFLUENCING PRICE DETERMINATION
Low profit pricing is better where:
-The quantity sold is highly sensitive to the price.
-Substantial reduction in production and marketing cost can
be achieved through large scale operations.
-The product is expected to face very strong competition.
The nature of the potential competition will influence managements
choice between the two pricing strategies.
If competition can enter the market quickly and if the sales of the
product are expected to be high management should adopt low
profit pricing to:
-Discourage other businesses form entering the field
because of low profits.
-Get a strong hold on its share of the market.
Chapter 6:
PRICE
III. BASIC METHODS OF SETTING PRICE
There are three basic approaches to setting prices:
-Price based on total cost plus a desired profit (cost – plus
pricing)
-Price based on a balance between estimated of market
demand and supply. e.g. the cost of production and
marketing (break even analysis).
-Prices based on competitive marketing conditions.
Chapter 6:
PRICE
III. BASIC METHODS OF SETTING PRICE
Terms to become familiar with
-Fixed cost : a cost that remain constant regardless of how many
items are produced.
e.g. rent executive salaries.
-Variable cost : a cost that is directly related to production.
-Average variable cost : the total variable cost divided by the
number of units produced.
-Total cost : the sum of the total fixed cost and the total variable
cost.
Chapter 6:
PRICE

III. BASIC METHODS OF SETTING PRICE
3-Prices based on competitive marketing conditions
A company is most likely to use this pricing method when
the market is highly competitive and the company’s product is not
significantly different to competing products.
The market – based method of pricing is also used where a
traditional or customary price level exists. e.g. Sweets, soft drinks.
A variation to market – based pricing is to set the price
below the competitive level. This is typically used by discount stores
which offer few services and operate on the principles of low markup and high volume.
Pricing above market level usually works only where the
product is distinctive or where the seller has gained prestige in its
field.
Chapter 6:
PRICE
IV. PRICING STRATEGIES AND POLICIES
After deciding on pricing goals and then setting the base price, the
next task in pricing is to establish specific strategies in several areas
of the pricing structure.
These strategies include the use of discounts and allowances.
Discounts and allowances result in a deduction from the base price.
The deduction may be in the form of the reduced price or some
other concessions, such as free merchandise.
Quantity discounts – deduction from the price if purchased in bulk
to encourage customers to buy in larger quantities.
Trade discounts – discount offered to buyers in payment for
marketing functions that they will presumably perform.
Cash discount – a deduction granted to buyers for paying their bill
on time.
Chapter 6:
PRICE
IV. PRICING STRATEGIES AND POLICIES
Geographic pricing strategy – in its pricing, the seller must take
into account freight cost involved in shipping the product to the
buyer. Therefore, pricing policies need to take into account what
charges will be made.
One Vs variable price
- One price policy is to charge the same price for the same
product to every buyer.
- Variable price policy is to charge different prices for the
same product to different buyers.
Psychological pricing – setting odd prices to increase sale.
Example: $ 20 ($ 19.99.99)
3.000 Riel (2,999.99 Riel)
