conceptions, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas,
goods, and services, to create exchanges that satisfy
individual and organizational goals.
Marketing Management
Marketing management is the art and science of choosing
target markets and getting, keeping, and growing customers
through creating, delivering, and communicating superior
customer value.
The holistic marketing concept is based on the development,
design, and implementation of marketing programs, processes and
activities that recognizes their breadth and interdependencies.
Holistic marketing recognizes that “everything matters” with
marketing-and that a broad, integrated perspective is often
necessary.
There are four components of holistic marketing are relationship
marketing, integrated marketing, internal marketing, and social
responsibility marketing

Core Concept of Marketing
A core set of concepts creates a foundation for marketing management
and a holistic marketing orientation.
Needs, Wants, and Demands:
Needs are the basic human requirements. People need food, air, water, clothing,
and shelter (security) to survive. People also have strong needs for recreation,
education, and entertainment.
These above needs become wants when they are directed to specific objects
that might satisfy the need. An American needs food buy may want a hamburger,
French fries and a soft drink.
Demands 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.
Company measures not only how many people want their product but also how
many would actually be willing and able to buy it.

MarketPlanning
From a managerial point of view, marketing is the process of planning
and executing the conceptions, pricing, promotion, and distribution of
ideas, goods, and services, to create exchanges that satisfy individual
and organizational goals.
Marketing management is the art and science of choosing target markets
and getting, keeping, and growing customers through creating, delivering,
and communicating superior customer value.
Marketing management has experienced a number of shifts in recent years
as companies seek marketing excellence.
The set of tasks necessary for successful marketing management includes
developing marketing strategies and plans, connecting with
customers, building strong brands, shaping the market offerings,
delivering and communicating value, capturing marketing insights and
performance, and creating successful long-term growth.

Summing up all together,
every company must focus
on both micro and macro
environmental forces in
order to build successful
marketing strategy for rapid

predefined organizational
goals.
This can only be met when
an organization have

Jobber (2007) defines it as a "system in which marketing
data is formally gathered, stored, analyzed and
distributed to managers in accordance with their
informational needs on a regular basis."
Kotler, at al, (2006) "an overall Marketing Information
System can be defined as a set structure of procedures
and methods for the regular, planned collection,
analysis and presentation of information for use in
making marketing decisions."

Consumer behavior as the behavior that consumers display in
searching for, purchasing, using, evaluating, and
disposing/ordering of products and services that they expect
will satisfy their needs.
Consumer behavior focuses on how individual consumers and
families or households make decisions to spend their available
resources (time, money, effort) on consumption-related items.
CB includes what they buy, why they buy it, when they buy it,
where they buy it, how often they buy it, how often they use it, how
they evaluate it after the purchase, the impact of such evaluation
on future purchases, and how they dispose of it.
Consumer behavior describes two different kinds of
consuming entities: the personal consumer and the
organizational consumer.
Personal Consumer: They buys goods and services for
his/her own use, for the use of the household, or as a gift for
a friend.
Organizational Consumer: Includes profit and non-profit
businesses, government agencies (local, state & national),
and institutions (e.g. schools, hospitals, and prisons), which
must buy products, equipment, and services in order to run
their organizations.

Basic Outline
Market Segment:
A market segment consists of a group of customers who
share a similar set of needs and wants.
Market segmentation is a marketing strategy which involves
dividing a broad target market into subsets
of consumers, businesses, or countries that have, or are perceived
to have, common needs, interests, and priorities, and then
designing and implementing strategies to target them.
Market Segments can be defined in many different ways. One
way to carve up a market is to identify the same preference
segments.
For Instance- Suppose ice cream buyers are asked how much
they value sweetness and creaminess as two product attributes.
Three different patterns can emerge.
Homogeneous Preference
Diffused Preference
Clustered Preference

Key Points to Remember:
Target marketing involves three activities: market
segmentation, market targeting, and market positioning.
Markets can be targeted at four levels: segments, niche, local
area and individuals.
Market segments are large, identifiable, groups, within a
market.
There are two bases for segmenting consumer markets:
consumer characteristics and consumer response.
To be useful, market segments must be measurable,
substantial, accessible, differentiable, and actionable.
Marketer must choose target markets in a socially responsible
manner.

A product mix also called product assortment is the set of all products and
items a particular sellers offers for sale. A product mix consists of various
product lines.
A company’s product mix has a certain width, length, depth and
consistency.
Width- The width of a product mix refers to how many different product
lines the company carries.
Length- The length of a product mix refers to the number of items in the
mix.
Depth- A width a product mix refers to how many variants are offered of
each product in the line.
Consistency- The consistency of the product mix refers to how closely
related the various product lines are in end use, production requirements,
distribution channels, or some other way.

Summary of the Lesson:
Each stage of the product life cycle calls for different marketing
strategies. The introduction stage is marked by slow growth and
minimal profits. If successful, the product enters a growth stage
marked by rapid sales growth and increasing profits. There follows
a maturity stage in which sales growth slows and profits stabilize.
Finally, the product enters a decline stage. The companies' task is
to identify the weak products; develop a strategy for each one; and
phase out weak products in a way that minimizes the hardship to
company profits, employees and customers.
Packaging
&
Labeling
What Customer
Wants?
Why Packaging So Important:
Customers are drawn, more than anything, to products that look
good. Something that is well designed and interesting is bound to
attract more potential customers than a product that is poorly
designed and looks bland.
It is, after all, the key part in marketing product and ensuring it
sells. It is also the key part in associating a brand to a certain thing-
be it a color or a font .
Packaging Design: Where it Begins:
A good design should always reflex the product and the creativity
and personality of the company. There is more, however, to
packaging design than simply ensuring a package looks appealing.
Intangible products such as accounting, banking, cleaning,
consultancy, education, insurance, expertise, medical
treatment, or transportation.
Sometimes services are difficult to identify because they are
closely associated with a good; such as the combination of
a diagnosis with the administration of a medicine.
No transfer of possession or ownership takes place when
services are sold, and they (1) cannot be stored or
transported, (2) are instantly perishable, and (3) come into
existence at the time they are bought and consumed.
Three Types of Marketing in Service
Industry
.
(Parasuraman, Zeithaml &
Berry, 1985)
Example:
Price is not just a number on a tag or an item:
Price is all around us. You pay rent for your apartment, tuition
for your education, and a fee to your physician or dentist. The
airline, railway, taxi, and bus companies charge you a fare; the
local utilities call their price rate; and the local bank charges
you interest for the money you borrow.

1. Cost Based Pricing refers to a pricing method in which some
percentage of desired profit margins is added to the cost of the product
to obtain the final price. In other words, cost based pricing can be
defined as a pricing method in which a certain percentage of the total
cost of production is added to the cost of the product to determine its
selling price.
(a) Cost Plus Pricing: Refers to the simplest method of
determining the price of a product. In cost plus pricing method, a
fixed percentage, also called markup percentage, of the total cost
(as a profit) is added to the total cost to set the price. For
example, XYZ organization bears the total cost of Rs. 100 per unit
for producing a product. It adds Rs. 50 per unit to the price of
product as’ profit. In such a case, the final price of a product of the
organization would be Rs. 150.
(b) Markup Pricing: Refers to a pricing method in which the
fixed amount or the percentage of cost of the product is
added to product’s price to get the selling price of the
product. Markup pricing is more common in retailing in which
a retailer sells the product to earn profit. For example, if a
retailer has taken a product from the wholesaler for Rs. 100,
then he/she might add up a markup of Rs. 20 to gain profit.
2. Demand Based Pricing: Demand based pricing refers to a
pricing method in which the price of a product is finalized
according to its demand. If the demand of a product is more, an
organization prefers to set high prices for products to gain profit;
whereas, if the demand of a product is less, the low prices are
charged to attract the customers.
3. Competition Based Pricing refers to a method in which
an organization considers the prices of competitors’
products to set the prices of its own products. The
organization may charge higher, lower, or equal prices as
compared to the prices of its competitors.
4. Other Pricing Method
i. Value Pricing: Implies a method in which an organization tries to
win loyal customers by charging low prices for their high quality
products. The organization aims to become a low cost producer
without sacrificing the quality. It can deliver high quality products at
low.
Many companies are intent on developing stronger bonds with their
customers- called CRM.
This is the process of managing detailed information about individual
customers and carefully managing all customer “touch points” to
maximize customer loyalty.
A customer touch point is any occasion on which a customer
encounters the brand and product-from actual experience to
personal or mass communications to casual observation.
CRM….
Continue…
Some of the groundwork for customer relationship management was
laid by Don Peppers and Martha Rogers in a series of books. Peppers
and Rogers outline a four-step framework for one-to-one marketing
that can be adapted to CRM marketing as follows-
A. Identify your prospects and customers
B. Differentiate customers in terms of (1) their needs and (2) their
value to your company.
C. Interact with individual customers to improve your knowledge
about their individual needs and to build stronger relationships.
D. Customize products, services and messages to each customer.

GREEN MARKETING
Here, term ‘green’ is indicative of purity. Green means pure in
quality and fair or just in dealing. For example, green
advertising means advertising without adverse impact on
society. Green message means matured and neutral facts,
free from exaggeration or ambiguity. Green marketing is
highly debated topic for lay people to highly professional
groups.
Concept of green marketing
concerns with protection of
ecological environment.
Excessive pollution has
provoked the Nature and the
Nature starts behaving in
unnatural ways (in form of
global warming v/s global
cooling, heavy rains
v/s draught, and other natural calamities like frequent earthquakes and
tsunami, cyclones, epidemics, and so forth). Economic growth via
production and consumption threatens peaceful life of human being on
the earth. Green marketing is an attempt to protect consumer welfare
and environment (the nature) through production, consumption, and
disposal of eco-friendly products.
Definition of Green Marketing:
“The marketing or promotion of a product based on its environment
performance or an improvement thereof (Charter & Polonsky,
1999)”
The holistic management process responsible for identifying and
satisfying the requirements of customers and society, in a profitable
and sustainable way 9Peattie, 1995)
Basically, green marketing concerns
with three aspects:
1. Promotion of production and
consummation of pure/quality products,
2. Fair and just dealing with customers and
society, and
3. Protection of ecological environment.
Impacts or Importance of Green Marketing:
Green marketing affects positively the health of people and the
ecological environment. People are aware of pure products and
pure methods of producing, using, and disposing the products.
It encourages integrated efforts for purity in production and
consumption as well.
Environmental Benefits
Consumer Benefits
Product benefits
Developing Economies
Reasons Why companies to adopt Green Marketing:
Opportunities or competitive advantage.
Corporate social responsibilities (CSR).
Government pressure.
Competitive pressure.
Cost or profit issues.
Challenges in Green Marketing:
Majority of the people are not aware of Green products and their
uses.
Green products require a recyclable and renewable materials or
elements which are
expensive.
People are often perceived that green products are expensive
compared to traditional
products.
Green Marketing depends on technology and requires a huge
investment in Research and
Development.

Global Marketing
Electronic commerce, commonly written as ecommerce, is the
trading or facilitation of trading in products or services using computer
networks, such as the Internet. Electronic commerce draws on
technologies such as mobile commerce, electronic funds transfer,
supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction
processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management
systems, and automated data collection systems. Modern electronic
commerce typically uses the World Wide Web for at least one part of
the transaction’s life-cycle, although it may also use other
technologies such as e-mail.
Wholesaling & Retailing
Marketing Channel
Successful value creation needs successful value
delivery. Holistic marketers are increasingly taking a
value network view of their business. Instead of limiting
their focus to their immediate suppliers, distributors, and
customers, they are examining the whole supply chain
that links raw materials, components, and manufactured
goods and shows how they move toward the final
consumers.
Most producers do not sell their goods directly to final users.
Between producers and final users stands one or more
marketing channels, a host of marketing intermediaries
performing a variety of functions.
Marketing channels decisions are among the most critical
decisions facing management. The company's chosen
channels profoundly affects all other marketing decisions.
Companies use intermediaries when they lack the financial
resources to carry out direct marketing, when direct marketing
is not feasible, and when they can earn more by doing so.
The most important functions performed by intermediaries are
information, promotion, negotiation, ordering, financing, risk
taking, physical procession, payment etc.
Manufacturers have many alternatives for reaching a
market. They can sell direct or use one-two-,or three-level
channels, deciding which types of channel to use calls for
analyzing customer needs, establishing channels objectives
and identifying and evaluating the major alternatives,
including the types and numbers of intermediaries involved
in the channels.
Effective channel management calls for selecting
intermediaries and training and motivating them. The goal is
to build a long-term partnership that will be profitable for all
channel members.
Marketing channels are characterized by continuous and
sometimes dramatic change.

    Summary of theLesson: Each stage of the product life cycle calls for different marketing strategies. The introduction stage is marked by slow growth and minimal profits. If successful, the product enters a growth stage marked by rapid sales growth and increasing profits. There follows a maturity stage in which sales growth slows and profits stabilize. Finally, the product enters a decline stage. The companies' task is to identify the weak products; develop a strategy for each one; and phase out weak products in a way that minimizes the hardship to company profits, employees and customers.
