Editor's Notes

  1. In concept, marketing boils down to two questions: (1) Which customers will we serve? and (2) How will we serve them? Of course, the tough part is coming up with good answers to these simple-sounding yet difficult questions. The goal is to create more value for the customers we serve than competitors do
  2. Note to Instructor This link goes to gurl.com, a Web site for female teenagers and young adults. It is interesting to browse with the students to note what kind of content is of interest to this group. A look at the advertisers with banner ads, sponsorships, or contests on the site shows the importance of targeted locations to these advertisers.
  3. Note to Instructor There are a whole group of products which are targeted to the affluent including hotels like Four Seasons, which is mentioned in the book. Their products offerings are deluxe: Kids in the City package for $520 a night and, among other things, enjoy a visit in their room from the Ice Cream Man, who arrives with all the fixings to make any concoction they desire. The Benjamin Hotel in New York City provides dog beds in a variety of styles and doggie bathrobes, as well as canine room service and DVDs for dogs. At the Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada, the Love at Lake Las Vegas weekend package includes two nights in the 2,400 square foot presidential suite, helicopter and gondola rides, a champagne-tasting party on a yacht complete with rose petals strewn about and a string trio, use of a luxury car throughout the stay, in-room couples spa treatment, a $5,000 casino line of credit, a $50,000 shopping spree at Neiman Marcus, 14 dozen roses, and a butler-drawn Cristal champagne bath.
  4. Note to Instructor Occasion segmentation Dividing the market into segments according to occasions when buyers get the idea to buy, actually make their purchase, or use the purchased item. Benefit segmentation Dividing the market into segments according to the different benefits that consumers seek from the product. Students often get confused with the difference between behavioral and psychographic segmentation. Behavior is more tied into how consumers use the product. A good illustration is greeting cards—ask students how their purchasing would be different when buying a birthday card for their mother versus one for a new boyfriend. In addition, ask them how people might look for different benefits when purchasing a car? Some might look for safety while others will look for the best gas mileage.
  5. Measurable: The size, purchasing power, and profiles of the segments can be measured. Accessible: The market segments can be effectively reached and served. Substantial: The market segments are large or profitable enough to serve. Differentiable: The segments are conceptually distinguishable and respond differently to different marketing mix elements and programs. If men and women respond similarly to marketing efforts for soft drinks, they do not constitute separate segments. Actionable: Effective programs can be designed for attracting and serving the segments.
  6. Note to Instructor Structural attractiveness includes factors that affect long-run attractiveness. These factors might include strong and aggressive competitors, substitute products, and high power of buyers or powerful suppliers.

  8. Note to Instructor Advances in communications technology have given rise to a new high-tech version of location-based marketing. By coupling mobile phone services with GPS devices, many marketers are now targeting customers wherever they are with what they want. This might include marketers reaching people near their stores, looking to make a decision. Discussion Question What are the drawbacks of local marketing? It can drive up manufacturing and marketing costs by reducing economies of scale. It can also create logistics problems as companies try to meet the varied requirements of different regional and local markets. Further, a brand’s overall image might be diluted if the product and message vary too much in different localities.
  9. Note to Instructor Mass customization is the process through which firms interact one-to-one with masses of customers to design products and services tailor-made to meet individual needs. Has made relationships with customers important in the new economy. Provides a way to distinguish the company against competitors.
  10. Note to Instructor Tide is positioned as a powerful, all-purpose family detergent; Ivory is positioned as the gentle detergent for fine washables and baby clothes. At Subway restaurants, you “Eat Fresh;” at Olive Garden, “When You’re Here, You’re Family;” and at Applebee’s you’re “Eatin’ Good in the Neighborhood.” In the automobile market, the Nissan Versa and Honda Fit are positioned on economy, Mercedes and Cadillac on luxury, and Porsche and BMW on performance. Volvo positions powerfully on safety. And Toyota positions its fuel efficient, hybrid Prius as a high-tech solution to the energy shortage. “How far will you go to save the planet?” it asks.
  11. Note to Instructor Discussion Question Are you familiar with GEICO advertisements? If so, what is their positioning? The Web link is to a YouTube ad. The question is what do they promote as their difference. It is that they cost less and they are easy to use. The instructor might want to play competitor’s ads to see what differences they promote (State Farm) is a good example.
  12. Note to Instructor Ask this discussion question after watching the ad? Discussion Question What is a positioning statement for Verizon? Verizon positioning is always that they have the best connections in any area.
