Product differentiation and positioningVijyata Singh
This document discusses product positioning, value propositions, and differentiation. It defines positioning as occupying a meaningful space in consumers' minds relative to competition. There are three positioning alternatives: strengthening a current position, finding a new unoccupied position, or repositioning competitors. Differentiation makes a product more interesting by designing unique valued qualities. Value propositions answer why a product is better than others by highlighting points of parity and difference. Positioning errors can occur if a position is understated, too narrow, or implausible to consumers.
The document discusses different levels and classifications of products. It defines a product and outlines five levels of a product from core to potential. Products can be classified based on durability as durable or non-durable, based on tangibility as tangible goods or services, and based on user status as consumer or industrial products. Consumer products are further divided into convenience, shopping, and specialty products, while industrial products include materials and parts, capital items, and supplies and services.
New product development is the initial and most important part of any company's journey which can make it or break it. New Product development involves 9 steps from new product strategy to commercialization.
A company's products go through distinct life cycle stages like living things:
1) Products are developed and introduced to the market with low sales and high costs.
2) The growth stage sees rapidly rising sales and increasing profits as the product gains acceptance.
3) In maturity, sales growth slows as most potential buyers have purchased, while marketing costs rise to fend off competition.
4) Finally, the decline stage begins as sales and profits fall off.
Physical channel of distribution consists of each and every individual or set of organization involved in transferring the good or service to the final consumer.
The document discusses product line definitions and decisions. It provides examples of Jyothi Lab's product lines which include fabric care, dishwash, personal care, and household insecticide ranges.

Marketers must understand how culture affects consumer pre-purchase activities like information search and post-purchase activities like product use.

How to choose the most attractive target markets.Sameer Mathur
This document discusses market segmentation and target marketing strategies. It defines a target market as buyers who share common needs, and evaluates segments based on size, growth, competition, substitutes, and supplier/buyer power. Companies can choose between mass, differentiated, niche, or micromarketing. Positioning involves defining brand attributes in customers' minds. Choosing a target strategy considers resources, product variability, life cycle stage, and market/competitor variability. Benefits of segmentation include better resource use, lower costs, easier feedback, and increased sales through better customer need satisfaction.
Market segmentation involves dividing a market into subgroups of customers with similar needs or characteristics. A target market is a specific subgroup that a company focuses its marketing efforts on. Positioning refers to how a company wants to be perceived by its target market relative to competitors.

When should a company initiate a price changeSameer Mathur
The document discusses factors that companies consider when initiating or responding to price changes. When cutting prices, companies may do so due to excess plant capacity or a drive to dominate the market through lower costs. However, price cuts can also lead to traps like customers assuming lower quality or a fragile market share without loyalty. Price increases may occur due to cost inflation, anticipatory pricing, or overdemand. Companies must carefully manage customer perceptions when adjusting prices and may adopt alternatives like product downsizing, reducing services, or offering fewer models to avoid price hikes.

The orientations help companies meet needs, avoid mistakes, uncover opportunities and achieve satisfaction.
Marketing approaches have evolved over time, exhibiting different philosophies. During the Production Era of the 1800s-1830s, products were produced in mass quantities at low prices. In the Sales Era through the 1960s, companies aggressively promoted products as sales became an important function. The Marketing Concept Era of the 1960s focused on determining consumer needs and making products ideas consumer-driven. Marketing now focuses on customer satisfaction and societal well-being through orienting management and utilizing the four Ps of marketing - product, price, place, and promotion.

It provides information on the profile of rural consumers, including their low literacy and income levels, scattered population across many villages, and principal occupations in farming and trades. It describes the types of rural consumers as household consumers, rural industrial users, and rural resellers. It also outlines different groups of rural consumers based on their buying behavior, such as habitual, cognitive, emotional, and impulsive groups. Finally, it briefly discusses factors that influence rural consumer behavior, including stimuli, perception, attitudes, needs, demographics, culture, and social influences.
The document compares rural and urban marketing in India, noting key differences in their philosophies, buyer motivations, marketing objectives, mix, research methods, technologies used, and development strategies. Rural marketing focuses on inclusive growth and uses simple research methods, while urban marketing emphasizes fashion, lifestyle, and sophisticated research. The marketing mix also differs, with rural using the basic 4 P's and urban utilizing an expanded 7 P's approach.
The document discusses the rural environment and is divided into several sections. It covers the demographic environment including changes in rural population, family structures, age, education, and occupation.

This document outlines the evolution of rural marketing in India through four phases:
Phase I (prior to 1960) consisted of agricultural marketing and exchanges of crafts and utensils; Phase II (1960-1980) saw the entry of consumer goods companies and changes in rural demand due to the Green Revolution; Phase III (1990-2000) included new service sectors, pro-rural government initiatives, and companies launching rural-focused products; Phase IV (after 2000) featured financial inclusion, media expansion, hiring of rural staff, and improved standards of living through various government programs.

- Rural markets have consumers located in rural areas with different behaviors than urban consumers. Transactions can be rural-to-urban or urban-to-rural.
- Rural marketing focuses more on development than transactions, customer satisfaction, and increasing living standards through a mutually beneficial process.
- Rural markets are large and diverse but scattered, with low incomes mainly from agriculture. They face challenges like high distribution costs, seasonal demand, and lack of infrastructure.
The document discusses advertising budgets, which estimate the financial requirements to achieve advertising objectives within a given time period. The budget is a guideline for allocating funds to advertising functions and activities. Key factors that influence the budget include available finances, sales percentages, competitors' spending, and return on investment. The budget specifies income, expenses, and how funds will be allocated. It must be constructed within the company's financial capabilities. The budget process involves estimating total advertising costs based on market information, then appropriating funds and specifying expenditures for each advertising function. The budget is presented to management for review and modification before execution and control to ensure actual spending matches estimates. Various methods can be used to allocate the budget, such as percentages of sales or objectives
