10. Needs, Wants, and Demands
Ne e ds are the basic human requirements.
People need air, food, water, clothing, and
shelter to survive. People also have strong
needs for recreation, education, and
entertainment.
These needs become wants when they are
directed to specific objects that might satisfy
the need.
11. Example
A consumer in the United States needs food
but may want a hamburger, french fries, and a
soft drink. A person in Mauritius needs food
but may want a mango, rice, lentils, and
beans. Wants are shaped by our society.
12. Demand
De m ands are wants for specific products
backed by an ability to pay. Many people want
a Mercedes; only a few are willing and able to
buy one. Companies must measure not only
how many people want their product, but also
how many would actually be willing and able
to buy it.
13. Markets Segmentation
Who is the target market for a product?
- Industrial product (B2B)
- Consumer product (B2C)
- Public goods (B2G)
14. 4 basic methods for segmenting a
market
Product –related: comfort, safety, luxury, good
value-for-money, convenience, durability, etc.
Demographic: age, gender, education, family
life cycle, income, education, etc.
Psychographic: attitudes, lifestyle, opinions,
values, self-image, etc.
Geographical: region, postcode, etc.
15. Example
For example, Volvo develops its cars for
buyers to whom safety is a major concern.
Volvo, therefore, positions its car as the safest
a customer can buy. Companies do best
when they choose their target market(s)
carefully and prepare tailored marketing
programs.
16. Brands and Trademark
Brand: a name, symbol or design (or some
combination) that identify a product
Trademark: a name or symbol that cannot be
used by another producer
Brand loyalty passes through three stages:
1. Brand awareness

17. Value and Satisfaction

and intangible benefits and costs to customers.
It’s primarily a combination of quality, service,
and price (“qsp”), called the “customer value
triad.”
Satisfactio n reflects a person’s judgments of a
product’s perceived performance in relationship
to expectations. If the performance falls short of
expectations, the customer is dissatisfied and
disappointed. If it matches expectations, the
customer is satisfied. If it exceeds them, the
customer is delighted.
