Editor's Notes

  1. Product marketing has traditionally addressed the 4 Ps. Product, Price, Place and Promotion Here is how we characterize a product: people will pay for it; it delivers real and distinct value - it works well in multiple customer installations. The point here is that it’s not a special; this is not custom software. - your field and/or channel can effectively sell it. You provide the necessary sales tools and sales training. - your company will stand behind it, providing support and adding improvements as necessary. - your customers and/or channel and/or services partners know how to install, configure and customize the product. Solution: A. An action or process of solving a problem. An answer to a problem Solution Marketing addresses 4 customer questions Solution—how can I solve my problem? Education—where can I learn more about it? Access—where can I find it? Value—what is my total sacrifice to get this solution, or return on investment?
  2. “If you're really a solutions company, it is transformational to how you do business, not just marketing.”  IBM Corp. is a company that has made solutions marketing an integral part of its business model—not just in marketing but throughout the organization. “We see solutions marketing as an extension of our brand,” said John Kennedy, VP-corporate marketing at IBM. “IBM has been doing solutions marketing for a very long time—defining a solution as when we're able to bring many parts of our portfolio together, including hardware, software and some element of services. “
  3. Customer: Where Can I learn more about It? Create a Two Way Dialog with The Market Enable prospects to find your solutions Enable market education Use Web 2.0 Tools—blogs, podcasts, twitter, Facebook etc. Provide recent customer references. Go beyond one sided push promotion. What are common purchasing channels? Enable them to purchase the way they want to?
  4. It is transformational in how we do business, not just marketing.
