Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

10. Kotler suggested that a product should be viewed

• Level 1: Core Product. What is the core

potential customers purchase your one.

non-tangible benefits can you offer?
12. People

30. Product, place and people are

Cannot be changed overnight.
Promotions, price, process and physical
appearance are considered as the tactical
Ps of marketing mix because these can be
changed more easily.
31. Summary
The marketing mix of a company seldom
stays the same
Marketers must therefore have a systematic way of
reviewing what worked and why, what didn’t work and
why.
Answering these queries are a prerequisite before
planning what should be added or what should be
dropped in order to attain, enhance or maintain
competitive edge.
Product Price Promotion and Place are interconnected. Action in one affects decisions in another. The order of dealing with each can vary, i.e. place can occur before promotion, etc. But first, the target population must be defined and then the strategies are directed toward this target population (market).
Give the example of Cake ….!
Think of a Cake
All cakes need 4 things – flour, egg, sugar, milk However, you can play with the flavour of your cake by changing the ingredients slightly
Example: Sweeter cake – addmore sugar
the actually offering by the company to its targeted customers which also includes value added stuff. Product may be tangible (goods) or intangible (services).
Market research (the systematic gathering, recording, analyzing, and presentation of information related to marketing goods and services based on needs assessment)
The 1st “p” of the marketing mix is product. This refers to any and all decisions make about what they are going to make or sell.
This part of the marketing mix relates to the function of product/service management.
Businesses make decisions about the design of the product, the name of the product, the level of quality of the product, how the product will be packaged and labeled – anything having to do with the physical product itself.
Quality example : some people really wants quality so they buy farrari and some people will not bother about quality and buy suzuki …
In marketing, positioning is the process by which marketers try to create an image or identity in the minds of their target market for its product, brand, or organization.
Re-positioning involves changing the identity of a product, relative to the identity of competing products.
De-positioning involves attempting to change the identity of competing products, relative to the identity of your own product.
Packaging if your selling a product what image will the packaging communicate? If a service – how will the appearance of your operation communicate an image about your business
Range of Products – what complimentary products may you offer
If service: Will you offer other products with your service
Example: Moose Winooski’s – you can buy T-Shirts and Hats
Example: Think of the range of products that apple has
Price is the process of determining what to charge for the product or service. It should reflect what the customers are willing and able to pay. It is assumed a profit is to be made. It includes determining the cost of production (time, labor, ingredients, packaging, advertising, etc), the state of supply and demand, and the amount of profit to be made. The end result is the price of the product or service.
Lower prices throughout the store – Price
Competition – basing your prices on those of the competition
Penetration – making your price low while new just to get some business
Bundle – putting the product/service with another item and bundling the prices
Psychological – making the price say something about the quality of your product
Markup vs market?
Give it away (e.g. internet services)
Forgo normal margins (e.g. Prius)
Raise price to luxury levels (homes, boats)
Offer Price protection (e.g. computer)
Payment Plans (cell phones, cars, etc)
What is the value of the product or service to the buyer?
Are there established price points for products or services in this area?
Is the customer price sensitive? Will a small decrease in price gain you extra market share? Or will a small increase be indiscernible, and so gain you extra profit margin?
What discounts should be offered to trade customers, or to other specific segments of your market?
How will your price compare with your competitors?
Competition – basing your prices on those of the competition
Penetration – making your price low while new just to get some business
Bundle – putting the product/service with another item and bundling the prices
Psychological – making the price say something about the quality of your product
The 2nd “p” of the marketing mix is place. We’re already used this term when learning about utility.
Place relates to the marketing functions of distribution and selling.
Place refers to decisions businesses make about where they are going to sell their products to make them available to their customers, how wide-spread is their distribution (intensity, which we will talk about later), how will the product be transferred and stored, and whether or not the product will be sold directly to the customers or through a middleman.
We will talk more about this in our unit on distribution.
Where do buyers look for your product or service?
If they look in a store, what kind? A specialist boutique or in a supermarket, or both? Or online? Or direct, via a catalogue?
How can you access the right distribution channels?
Do you need to use a sales force? Or attend trade fairs? Or make online submissions? Or send samples to catalogue companies?
What do you competitors do, and how can you learn from that and/or differentiate?
Notice how car dealerships are always on the outskirts of town or close to a highway
Offer exclusivity (eg by region)
Co-operative advertising ( different groups join together to form a group)
Offer Price protection (e.g. computer)
Re-stocking privileges
Returns policies
the actual marketing of the product or servicethe image portrayed. Advertising the product or making the customer aware of the product or serviceis involved in promotion. Advertising can be done through public relations, media, personal selling and various persuasive communication strategies.
