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. The physical environment discusses rural settlements and housing patterns. The socio-cultural environment examines socio-cultural regions, village communities, and the caste system. The political environment analyzes panchayati raj institutions and gram sabhas. The technological environment addresses rapid mechanization and the growth of information and communication technology. Finally, the rural economic environment describes the transitioning rural economy, economic structure, rural enterprises, income disparity, and spending.
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.
This document provides an overview of rural marketing in India. It defines rural marketing as developing, pricing, promoting, and distributing rural-specific goods and services to satisfy consumer demand in rural areas. Some key points:
- 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

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

Advanced Storytelling Concepts for MarketersEd Shimp
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.
We will discuss:
• Rhetoric – The art of effective communication
• The Socratic Method – You cannot teach, but you can persuade people to learn
• Plato’s Cave – You sell products, but you market ideas
• Aristotle’s Six Dramatic Elements – The secret recipe for marketing stories
This is for senior marketers who are tasked with creating effective narratives or guiding others in the process. By the end of the session, attendees will have gained the knowledge needed to work storytelling into all phases of the buyer’s journey.

Basic Management Concepts., “Management is the art of getting things done thr...DilanThennakoon
The managers achieve organizational objectives by getting work from
others and not performing in the tasks themselves.
Management is an art and science of getting work done through people.
It is the process of giving direction and controlling the various activities
of the people to achieve the objectives of an organization Management is a universal process in all organized, social and economic activities. Wherever
there is human activity there is management.
Management is a vital aspect of the economic life of man, which is an organized group activity. A
central directing and controlling agency is indispensable for a business concern. The productive
resources –material, labour, capital etc. are entrusted to the organizing skill, administrative ability
and enterprising initiative of the management. Thus, management provides leadership to a
business enterprise. Without able managers and effective managerial leadership the resources of
production remain merely resources and never become production. Management occupies such an
important place in the modern world that the welfare of the people and the destiny of the country
are very much influenced by it.
1.2 MEANING OF MANAGEMENT
Management is a technique of extracting work from others in an integrated and co-ordinated
manner for realizing the specific objectives through productive use of material resources.
Mobilising the physical, human and financial resources and planning their utilization for business
operations in such a manner as to reach the defined goals can be benefited to as management.
1.3 DEFINITION OF MANAGEMENT
Management may be defined in many different ways. Many eminent authors on the subject have
defined the term "management". Some of these definitions are reproduced below:
In the words of George R Terry - "Management is a distinct process consisting of planning,
organising, actuating and controlling performed to determine and accomplish the objectives by the
use of people and resources".
According to James L Lundy - "Management is principally the task of planning, co¬ordinating,
motivating and controlling the efforts of others towards a specific objective",
In the words of Henry Fayol - "To manage is to forecast and to plan, to organise, to command, to
co-ordinate and to control".
According to Peter F Drucker - "Management is a multipurpose organ that manages a business and
manages managers and manages worker and work".
In the words of J.N. Schulze - "Management is the force which leads, guides and directs an
organisation in the accomplishment of a pre-determined object".
In the words of Koontz and O'Donnel - "Management is defined as the creation and maintenance
of an internal environment in an enterprise where individuals working together in groups can
perform efficiently and effectively towards the attainment of group goals".
According to Ordway Tead - "Management is the process and agency which directs and guides the
operations of an organisation in realising of established aim
In the face of the news of Google beginning to remove cookies from Chrome (30m users at the time of writing), there’s no longer time for marketers to throw their hands up and say “I didn’t know” or “They won’t go through with it”. Reality check - it has already begun - the time to take action is now. The good news is that there are solutions available and ready for adoption… but for many the race to catch up to the modern internet risks being a messy, confusing scramble to get back to "normal"
2. PRICE
Price is the amount of money charged for
a product or a service.
Price is the sum of all the values that
customers give up to gain the benefits of
having or using a product or service.
6. Cost –Based pricing
Setting price on the basis of total cost per unit
Cost plus pricing
Target pricing
Marginal cost pricing
Break-even analysis and Target Profit Pricing
7. Cost plus pricing
Developed by HALL & MITCH
the price is computed by adding
a certain percentage to the cost
of the product per unit. This
method is also known as margin
pricing or average cost pricing
or full cost pricing or mark up
pricing
Price =
full average cost of production
AVC (Average Variable Cost)
+AFC (Average Fixed Cost)+
margin of normal profit.
Target pricing
Variant of full cost pricing.
Under this method, the cost
is added with the
predetermined target rate
of return on capital
invested. The company
estimates future sales,
future cost and calculates a
targeted rate of return on
capital invested. This is
also called rate of return
pricing.
8. Marginal cost
pricing
Under both full cost
pricing and rate of return
pricing, the prices are set
on the basis of total cost
(variable cost + fixed
cost). In this method,
fixed costs are totally
excluded and pricing are
set on the marginal cost
Break-even
analysis and Target
Profit Pricing
In this the firm tries to
determine the price at
which it will break-
even or make the
target profit it is
seeking.
9. Demand – based Pricing
Differential
pricing
The same product is sold
at different prices to
different customers, in
different places, and at
different periods. This
method is called
discriminatory pricing or
price discrimination
Modified break-
even analysis
Under this method, prices
are fixed to achieve
highest profit over the
Break-Even Point (BEP) in
consideration of the
amount demanded at
alternative prices. i.e. A
price-quantity mix that
maximizes total profit.
Neutral
pricing
It means offering
extra value or
benefits with the
brand cost or price
remaining
competitive
10. Competition-based Pricing
Going rate
pricing
• prices are maintained at par with the average level of prices in the industry, i.e., under
this method a firm charges the prices according to what competitors are charging.
Firms accept the price prevailing in the industry in order to avoid price war
Customary
pricing
• prices get fixed because they have prevailed over a long period of time Examples, the
price of cup of tea or coffee. In short the prices are fixed by custom. The price will
change only when the cost changessignificantly. It is also called conventional pricing
Sealed bid
pricing
• The firm fixes its prices on how the competitor’s price their products. It means that if
the firm is to win a contract or job, it should quote less than the competitors. A bid price
is the highest price that a buyer tie bidder) is willing to pay for any goods. Followed in
B2B pricing
11. Value-based Pricing
• Thus perceived value pricing is
concerned with setting the price on the
basis of value perceived by the buyer of
the product rather than the seller's cost.
Perceived value
pricing
• price is based on the value which the
consumers get from the product they
buy. It is used as a complete marketing
strategy
Value for money
pricing
