controllable marketing variables that
the firm uses to pursue the sought
level of sales in the target market."
The 4Ps that make up a typical marketing mix are –
Price, Product, Promotion and Place.
May also include several other Ps like Packaging, Positioning,
People and even Politics as vital mix elements.
Product:
Refers to the item actually being sold. The product must
deliver a minimum level of performances; otherwise even
the best work on the other elements of the marketing mix
won't do any good.
1. What does the customer want from the product/service? What
needs does it satisfy?
2. What features does it have to meet these needs?
3. Are there any features you've missedout?
4. Are you including costly features that the customer won't
actually use?
5. How and where will the customer use it?
6. What does it look like? How will customers experienceit?
7. What size(s), color(s), and so on, should it be?
8. What is it to be called?
9. How is it branded?
10. How is it differentiated from the competitors?
Branding
Logo and tagline
Labeling
Packaging
❖ Every product satisfies a 'generic'
requirement, = the core benefit, a product
offers to the customer.
❖ If products were sold by generic names, it
would be verydifficult for the marketersto
distinguish their products from that of
competitors.
❖ Branding is an effectivedifferentiation
strategy commonly adopted by marketers
when dealing with the products which
cannot be easily distinguished in terms of
tangible features.
Branding as a Concept - A brand is "a
name, term, sign, symbol, or design or a
combination of them which is intended
to identify the goods or services of one
seller or group of sellers and to
differentiate them from those of the
competitors."
Brand = denotes a name, term, sign, symbol,
design or combination of them to:
Identify the products of one firm, and differentiate
them from those of the competitors.

Trade mark.
➢ A brand mark is that part of a brand which
can be recognized but cannot be vocalized i.e.
is non-utterable.
➢ It appears in the form of a symbol, design, or
distinct, color scheme.
➢ For example:
‘Girl ‘of AMUL, 'Maharaja' of Air India,
'Ronald'of McDonaldetc.
➢ A brand or part of a brand that is given
legal protection against its use by other
firms is called trade mark.
➢ Thus, a trade mark is essentially a legal
term, protecting the seller's exclusive
right to use the brand name/mark.
A brand name is "that part of a brand
which can be vocalized i.e. can be
spoken.
It's like naming a newborn child.
Mercedes, Woodland, Asian Paints,

➢ Packaging is often the key element in assisting
mainly consumer goods companies to achieve a
comparative advantage.

mix of packaging components best able to
perform in different degrees, the particular
functions of the packaging.

Price Mix
= the value that is put for a product.
❖ It depends on
Cost of production, Segment targeted,
Ability of the market to pay, Supply -
demand and a host of other direct and indirect
factors.
❖ There can be several types of pricing strategies,
each tied in with an overall business plan.
❖ Pricing can also be used as a demarcation, to
differentiate and enhance the image of a product.
❖ Price is the only revenuegenerating element
amongst the four P's, the rest being cost centers.
Some Methods Of
Pricing which are used
in pricing decisions are
as follows:
❖Cost Plus
❖Pricing,
❖Penetration Pricing,
❖Price Skimming and
❖Variable Pricing
❖ The manufacturer charges a price to cover the cost of producing a product plus
a reasonable profit. The cost-plus methodis simple, but it does not encourage the
efficient use of resources.
❖ Cost-plus pricing is typically based on a manufacturing estimate.
❖ Estimates are made of the resources required, the cost of those resources and the
time for which they will be used.
Advantages
❖ A company knows exactly the amount of
expenditure and therefore they can add
profit margin accordingly.
❖ It is the simplest method.
❖ Easier for a company to evaluate the reasons
for escalations in expenses and therefore it
can take corrective action immediately.
Disadvantages
❖ This methoddoes not take
into account the future
demand.
❖ It also does not take into
account the competitor
actions.
❖ It can result in the company
overestimating the price.
❖ Price is initially set at a price lower
than the eventual market price, to
attract new customers.
❖ The expectation is that customers
willswitch to the new brand
because of the lowerprice.
❖ Penetrationpricing is most
commonly associated with a
marketing objectiveof increasing
❖ market share or sales volume.
➢ E.g. Toothpaste sold in a remote
rural area, Mobile phone rates in
India; housing loans etc.
➢ E.g. The Reliance Company
followed penetration pricing
strategy when it introduced
mobile phone and Jio services. It
offered it at so low price that it
captured big share of mobile
phone market.
Advantages
1. Result in fast diffusion and adoption. This
can achieve high market rates quickly.
2. It can create goodwill among the early
adopters segment.
3. It creates cost control and cost
reduction pressures from the start.
4. It discourages the entry of competitors.
Low prices act as a barrier to entry
5. It can create high stock turnover
throughout the distribution channel
6. This can create criticallyimportant
enthusiasm and support in the channel.
Disadvantages
1. The main disadvantage with
penetration pricing is that it establishes
long–term
price expectations for the product and
image preconceptions for the brand
and
company.
2. Another potential disadvantage is that
the low profit margins may not be
sustainablelong enough for the strategy
to be effective.
➢ Product demandis highly price elastic.
➢ Substantial economiesof scale are available.
➢ The product is suitable for a mass market (i.e. enough demand).
➢ The product will face stiff competitionsoon after introduction.
➢ There is not enough demand amongst consumers to make price skimming
work.
➢ In industries where standardization is important. The product that achieves
high market penetration often becomes the industry standard (e.g.
Microsoft Windows) and other products, whatever their merits, become
marginalized. Standardscarry heavy momentum.
Meaning
o Goods are sold at higher
prices. Usually employedto
reimbursethe cost of
investment of the original
research into the product.
o This strategy is often used
to target "early adopters"
of a product or service
who generally have a
relatively lower price-
sensitivity.
o This strategy is employed
only for a limited duration.
Advantages
❖ Helps the company
recovering the
research and
development costs.
❖ If the company
caters to consumers
who are quality
conscious rather
than price
conscious.
Disadvantages
❖ This strategy can backfire if
there are close
competitors.
❖ Not viablewhen there are
strict legal and government
regulations.
❖ If the company has history
of price skimming then
consumers will never buy a
product when it is newly
launched, they would
rather wait for a few months
and buy the product at
lower price.
➢ Variable pricing is a marketing
approach that permits different rates
to be extended to different
customers for the same goods or
services.
➢ The approach is often employed in
cultures where dickering over the
price of goods is considered the
norm, or potential buyers are
allowed to participate in a bidding
situation, such as in an auction.
➢ Also, this method is witnessed
where discounted price is offered in
case of bulk purchases.
Variable Pricing is used in
the following cases:
➢ Difference in order size
➢ Difference in anticipated
business from different
customers
➢ Difference in the
bargaining power of the
consumer
➢ Difference in the ability of
the consumer to pay
Advantages of Variable Pricing
1. Sellers can use this method of pricing to sell those goods and services that they have not
been able to sell at original price.
2. By selling their products at variable price, the sellers are able to earn a modest profit and
recoup their investment in the product.
Disadvantages of Variable Pricing
1. It can lead to losing other customers who paid full price for their purchase if they find out
that another customer was able to purchase the same product at a lower price.
2. Goodwill of the business is adversely affected.
Examples:
❖ Difference in order size by the customers
❖ The soft drink bottle of 200 ml of a company is placed at Rs. 8, while a 2000 ml/2-liter
bottle is placed at ` 55.
❖ Difference in the anticipated business from different customers
❖ The school fee for the second childand other siblings are charged at a lower rate by the
schools.
❖ Difference in the bargaining power of the customer
❖ The price of unbranded/assembleditems of computers are charged differently
depending upon the awareness and bargaining power of the customers.
❖ Difference in the ability of the consumers to pay
❖ Different price is charged by the public distribution shops run by the government for
wheat, rice and other variety of food items depending on the income groups.
Place: Refers to the point of sale. In every industry, catching the eye of the consumer and
making I it easy for her to buy is the main aim of a good distribution or 'place' strategy.
❖ A channel of distributionor trade channel is defined as the path or route along which
goods
❖ move from producers or manufacturers to ultimate consumers or industrial users.
❖ This channel consists of:
Producers, consumers or users and the various middlemen like wholesalers,selling
agents and retailers (dealers) who intervene between the producers and consumers.
❖ Therefore, the channel serves to bridge the gap between the point of production and
the point of consumptionthereby creating time, place and possessionutilities.
A channel of distribution consists of three types of flows:
❖ Downward flow of goods from producers to consumers
❖ Upward flow of cash payments for goods from consumers to producers
❖ Flow of marketinginformationin both downward and upward direction.
An entrepreneur has a number of alternativechannels availableto him. These
channels of distribution are broadly dividedinto four types.
The Channels of distribution are broadly
divided into four types.
❖ Producer-customer (Direct channel-zero
level)
❖ Producer-retailer-customer (Indirect-one
level)
❖ Producer-wholesaler-retailer-customer
(Two level)
❖ Producer-agent-wholesaler-retailer-
customer (Three level)
❖ Simplest and shortest channel in which no middlemen is involved.
❖ It is fast and economical.
❖ The producer performs all the marketing activities and has full control over distribution.
❖ A producer may sell directly to consumers through door-to-door salesmen,direct mail or
through his own retail stores.
❖ Big firms adopt this channel to cut distribution costs and to sell industrial products of high
value.Small producers and producers of perishable commodities also sell directly to
local consumers.
❖ This channel of distributioninvolves only one middleman called'retailer'.
❖ Under it, the producer sells his product to big retailers (or retailers who buy goods in
large quantities) who in turn sell to the ultimate consumers.
❖ This channel relieves the manufacturer from burden of selling the goods himselfand at
the same time gives him control over the process of distribution.
❖ This is often suited for distributionof consumer durables and products of high value.
❖ Two middlemen i.e. wholesalers and retailers are involved.
❖ This channel is suitable for the producers having limitedfinance, narrow product line and
who need expert services and promotional support of wholesalers.
❖ This is mostlyused for the products with widely scattered market.
❖ This is the longest channel of distributionin which three middlemenare involved.
❖ This is used when the producer wants to be fully relievedof the problem of
distribution and thus hands over his entire output to the selling agents..
❖ This channel is suitable for wider distribution of various industrial products.

  • 7.
  • 8. Product: Refers to the item actually being sold. The product must deliver a minimum level of performances; otherwise even the best work on the other elements of the marketing mix won't do any good.
  • 9. 1. What does the customer want from the product/service? What needs does it satisfy? 2. What features does it have to meet these needs? 3. Are there any features you've missedout? 4.

  • 10.
  • 12. ❖ Every product satisfies a 'generic' requirement, = the core benefit, a product offers to the customer. ❖ If products were sold by generic names, it would be verydifficult for the marketersto distinguish their products from that of competitors. ❖ Branding is an effectivedifferentiation strategy commonly adopted by marketers when dealing with the products which cannot be easily distinguished in terms of tangible features.
  • 13. Branding as a Concept - A brand is "a name, term, sign, symbol, or design or a combination of them which is intended to identify the goods or services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of the competitors."

  • 28. ➢ Packaging is often the key element in assisting mainly consumer goods companies to achieve a comparative advantage. ➢ The critical decisions that must be made on the package are concerned with the functions the product pack will perform as well as with the mix of packaging components best able to perform in different degrees, the particular functions of the packaging.
  • 29. ➢ It is the display of information about a product on its container, packaging, or the product itself.
  • 30. Intellectual property (IP) rights are the legally recognized exclusiverights to creations of the mind. Under this law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangibleassets. Commontypes of intellectual property rights include ❖ Copyrights ❖ Industrial Design Rights ❖ Trademark ❖ Trade Secrets. ❖ Patents
  • 31. Price Mix = the value that is put for a product. ❖ It depends on Cost of production, Segment targeted, Ability of the market to pay, Supply - demand and a host of other direct and indirect factors. ❖ There can be several types of pricing strategies, each tied in with an overall business plan. ❖ Pricing can also be used as a demarcation, to differentiate and enhance the image of a product. ❖ Price is the only revenuegenerating element amongst the four P's, the rest being cost centers. Some Methods Of Pricing which are used in pricing decisions are as follows: ❖Cost Plus ❖Pricing, ❖Penetration Pricing, ❖Price Skimming and ❖Variable Pricing
  • 32. ❖ The manufacturer charges a price to cover the cost of producing a product plus a reasonable profit. The cost-plus methodis simple, but it does not encourage the efficient use of resources. ❖ Cost-plus pricing is typically based on a manufacturing estimate. ❖ Estimates are made of the resources required, the cost of those resources and the time for which they will be used.
  • 33. Advantages ❖ A company knows exactly the amount of expenditure and therefore they can add profit margin accordingly. ❖ It is the simplest method. ❖ Easier for a company to evaluate the reasons for escalations in expenses and therefore it can take corrective action immediately. Disadvantages ❖ This methoddoes not take into account the future demand. ❖ It also does not take into account the competitor actions. ❖ It can result in the company overestimating the price.
  • 34. ❖ Price is initially set at a price lower than the eventual market price, to attract new customers. ❖ The expectation is that customers willswitch to the new brand because of the lowerprice. ❖ Penetrationpricing is most commonly associated with a marketing objectiveof increasing ❖ market share or sales volume. ➢ E.g. Toothpaste sold in a remote rural area, Mobile phone rates in India; housing loans etc. ➢ E.g. The Reliance Company followed penetration pricing strategy when it introduced mobile phone and Jio services. It offered it at so low price that it captured big share of mobile phone market.
  • 35. Advantages 1. Result in fast diffusion and adoption. This can achieve high market rates quickly. 2. It can create goodwill among the early adopters segment. 3. It creates cost control and cost reduction pressures from the start. 4. It discourages the entry of competitors. Low prices act as a barrier to entry 5. It can create high stock turnover throughout the distribution channel 6. This can create criticallyimportant enthusiasm and support in the channel. Disadvantages 1. The main disadvantage with penetration pricing is that it establishes long–term price expectations for the product and image preconceptions for the brand and company. 2. Another potential disadvantage is that the low profit margins may not be sustainablelong enough for the strategy to be effective.
  • 36. ➢ Product demandis highly price elastic. ➢ Substantial economiesof scale are available. ➢ The product is suitable for a mass market (i.e. enough demand). ➢ The product will face stiff competitionsoon after introduction. ➢ There is not enough demand amongst consumers to make price skimming work. ➢ In industries where standardization is important. The product that achieves high market penetration often becomes the industry standard (e.g. Microsoft Windows) and other products, whatever their merits, become marginalized. Standardscarry heavy momentum.
  • 37. Meaning o Goods are sold at higher prices. Usually employedto reimbursethe cost of investment of the original research into the product. o This strategy is often used to target "early adopters" of a product or service who generally have a relatively lower price- sensitivity. o This strategy is employed only for a limited duration. Advantages ❖ Helps the company recovering the research and development costs. ❖ If the company caters to consumers who are quality conscious rather than price conscious. Disadvantages ❖ This strategy can backfire if there are close competitors. ❖ Not viablewhen there are strict legal and government regulations. ❖ If the company has history of price skimming then consumers will never buy a product when it is newly launched, they would rather wait for a few months and buy the product at lower price.
  • 38. ➢ Variable pricing is a marketing approach that permits different rates to be extended to different customers for the same goods or services. ➢ The approach is often employed in cultures where dickering over the price of goods is considered the norm, or potential buyers are allowed to participate in a bidding situation, such as in an auction. ➢ Also, this method is witnessed where discounted price is offered in case of bulk purchases. Variable Pricing is used in the following cases: ➢ Difference in order size ➢ Difference in anticipated business from different customers ➢ Difference in the bargaining power of the consumer ➢ Difference in the ability of the consumer to pay
  • 39. Advantages of Variable Pricing 1. Sellers can use this method of pricing to sell those goods and services that they have not been able to sell at original price. 2. By selling their products at variable price, the sellers are able to earn a modest profit and recoup their investment in the product. Disadvantages of Variable Pricing 1. It can lead to losing other customers who paid full price for their purchase if they find out that another customer was able to purchase the same product at a lower price. 2. Goodwill of the business is adversely affected.
  • 40. Examples: ❖ Difference in order size by the customers ❖ The soft drink bottle of 200 ml of a company is placed at Rs. 8, while a 2000 ml/2-liter bottle is placed at ` 55. ❖ Difference in the anticipated business from different customers ❖ The school fee for the second childand other siblings are charged at a lower rate by the schools. ❖ Difference in the bargaining power of the customer ❖ The price of unbranded/assembleditems of computers are charged differently depending upon the awareness and bargaining power of the customers. ❖ Difference in the ability of the consumers to pay ❖ Different price is charged by the public distribution shops run by the government for wheat, rice and other variety of food items depending on the income groups.
  • 41.
  • 42. Place: Refers to the point of sale. In every industry, catching the eye of the consumer and making I it easy for her to buy is the main aim of a good distribution or 'place' strategy. ❖ A channel of distributionor trade channel is defined as the path or route along which goods ❖ move from producers or manufacturers to ultimate consumers or industrial users. ❖ This channel consists of: Producers, consumers or users and the various middlemen like wholesalers,selling agents and retailers (dealers) who intervene between the producers and consumers. ❖ Therefore, the channel serves to bridge the gap between the point of production and the point of consumptionthereby creating time, place and possessionutilities.
  • 43. A channel of distribution consists of three types of flows: ❖ Downward flow of goods from producers to consumers ❖ Upward flow of cash payments for goods from consumers to producers ❖ Flow of marketinginformationin both downward and upward direction. An entrepreneur has a number of alternativechannels availableto him. These channels of distribution are broadly dividedinto four types.
  • 44. The Channels of distribution are broadly divided into four types. ❖ Producer-customer (Direct channel-zero level) ❖ Producer-retailer-customer (Indirect-one level) ❖ Producer-wholesaler-retailer-customer (Two level) ❖ Producer-agent-wholesaler-retailer- customer (Three level)
  • 45. ❖ Simplest and shortest channel in which no middlemen is involved. ❖ It is fast and economical. ❖ The producer performs all the marketing activities and has full control over distribution. ❖ A producer may sell directly to consumers through door-to-door salesmen,direct mail or through his own retail stores. ❖ Big firms adopt this channel to cut distribution costs and to sell industrial products of high value.Small producers and producers of perishable commodities also sell directly to local consumers.
  • 46. ❖ This channel of distributioninvolves only one middleman called'retailer'. ❖ Under it, the producer sells his product to big retailers (or retailers who buy goods in large quantities) who in turn sell to the ultimate consumers. ❖ This channel relieves the manufacturer from burden of selling the goods himselfand at the same time gives him control over the process of distribution. ❖ This is often suited for distributionof consumer durables and products of high value.
  • 47. ❖ Two middlemen i.e. wholesalers and retailers are involved. ❖ This channel is suitable for the producers having limitedfinance, narrow product line and who need expert services and promotional support of wholesalers. ❖ This is mostlyused for the products with widely scattered market.
  • 48. ❖ This is the longest channel of distributionin which three middlemenare involved. ❖ This is used when the producer wants to be fully relievedof the problem of distribution and thus hands over his entire output to the selling agents.. ❖ This channel is suitable for wider distribution of various industrial products.
  • 49. A) Considerations Related to Product 1. Unit Value of the Product: 2. Standardized or Customized Product: 3. Perish ability 4. Technical Nature: B) Considerations Related to Market 1. Number of Buyers: 2. Types of Buyers 3. Buying Habits: 4. Buying Quantity: 5. Size of Market: C) Considerations Related to Manufacturer/Company 1. Goodwill: 2. Desire to control the channel of Distribution: 3. Financial Strength: E) Others 1. Cost: 2. Availability: 3. Possibilities of Sales:
