A management philosophy based on the idea that,
in a competitive environment, the odds of
achieving strong organisational performance will
be improved by having… “an absolute dedication
to understanding and satisfying the needs of
customers in well-defined target markets.”
(Kotler et al 2003 p.4)
The goal of Marketing is to facilitate exchange
i.e. the transfer of products, services or ideas
with a return form of payment.

relationships.

Marketing needs a marketplace….a market. A
market is a collection of buyers and sellers of
a particular product, service, idea
Marketing needs a medium of exchange e.g.
money, goods in kind, time in lieu etc
To be really successful marketing needs
management and coordination
11


The set of actual
and potential
buyers of a
product.
These people
share a need or
want that can be
satisfied through
exchange
relationships.
12



A private individual or household with needs
and wants to satisfy.
In other words a buyer just like you or your
family.
Marketers often use the term ‘B2C’ to express
the idea of a Business marketing to
Consumers.
13



An organisation (such as a business) with
needs and wants to satisfy.
Note: the terms customer and consumer are
often used interchangeably
Marketers often use the term B2B to express
the idea of a Business marketing to another
Business
14


Market demand is based upon central needs
that provide the motivation to acquire
products and services.
Needs can be fundamental and physical and
also individual.
15
Needs - state of
felt deprivation
including
physical, social,
and individual
needs.
16
17

Wants are needs translated into a product or
service offering that is appropriate to the
consumer e.g. a microwave meal, an NMIT
business course, a music CD, and new car etc
18
Wants - form
that a human
need takes, as
shaped by
culture and
individual
personality.
19

Needs and Wants
Fulfilled through a
Marketing Offer :
◦ Some combination of
products, services,
information, or
experiences offered
to a market to satisfy
a need or want.
20
Products
Anything that can be Offered to a Market to Satisfy a Need or Want
Persons
Places
Information
Organizations
Ideas
Services
Activity or Benefit Offered for Sale That is Essentially
Intangible and Does Not Result in the Ownership of Anything
21


Market demand reflects the fact that just
because someone WANTS a product it does
not necessarily follow that there is an actual
opportunity to obtain it.
Demand can exist only if that person can
afford to buy it (available funds) and has
access to the product (it is in stock, legal to
own)
22
Wants
Buying Power
“Demand”
23


Sellers pay more
attention to the
specific products they
offer than to the
benefits and
experiences produced
by the products.
They focus on the
“wants” and lose sight
of the “needs.”
24



When a consumer interacts with a marketing
firm, an exchange relationship exists.
The consumer aims to get a product that
satisfies a NEED and WANT to go away happy
and satisfied
The firm wants to sell this product and to go
away happy and satisfied that it has made a
profit on the transaction or exchange.
25


Marketing is all about two parties exchanging
value (the consumer gives up money to get
satisfaction; the firm gives up a product to
get a profit).
There is no ‘residual discontent’ – the
consumer does not feel cheated and ripped
off and the firm is not in despair that it has
not made a profit on the transaction.
26



Marketing is not about achieving one-shot
deals and transaction. It is about building
long-term, value-for-value RELATIONSHIPS
with good customers.
A loyal customer is a stream of future earnings
for the marketing business and who is going to
refer the business to friends, family and
associates.
“Marketing is about selling products that don’t
come back to customers that do!”
