Creative thinking
This document discusses thinking outside the box and creativity. It argues that thinking outside the box is necessary for human dignity and progress, but that it is risky since established ways of thinking provide a sense of safety and structure. It provides some techniques for thinking outside the box, such as allowing divergent information, mixing disciplines, using metaphors, and valuing long-term thinking over a single correct answer. The overall message is that creativity requires stepping outside established boundaries of thought but can lead to new insights and discoveries.
The Mash-Up Presentation of the Internship
This document provides an overview of a presentation covering various topics:
- Module 1 discusses presentation skills and common mistakes to avoid. It provides tips on storytelling, visual design, and preparation.
- Module 2 covers marketing management concepts from Kotler including identifying customer value, market segmentation, branding, and integrated marketing communications.
- Module 3 presents three Harvard Business Review case studies on issues facing a minor league sports team, a piano manufacturer, and a brewery considering introducing a light beer.
- Module 4 discusses branding challenges in the digital age where consumers have a more iterative decision journey across online channels. It emphasizes targeting different stages and using advocacy over one-way advertising.
Role of social media in Building a brand
Social media has shifted power to customers, who can instantly publicize products' flaws. Companies succeeding address opportunities by actively engaging customers on social media. Marketers must understand how brands and products fit into customers' lives by recognizing segments and demands via social media. To build trust, companies should continually improve their clear customer promise through innovation while addressing conflicts patiently, with confidence in their product and by analyzing customer reports.
3 questions you need to ask about your brand
This document discusses three important questions for effective brand positioning: 1) Have we established the right frame of reference for the brand? 2) Are we leveraging the important points of parity within that frame? 3) Are the points of difference for the brand compelling and differentiated from competitors? It provides examples of brands like Subway, FedEx, American Express that have successfully positioned themselves by considering these three questions. The key is establishing a frame, meeting points of parity, and having unique points of difference that are desirable, deliverable and difficult for competitors to copy. Positioning must also be consistent over time as consumer and category needs change.
Make the most of a polarizing brand
This document discusses strategies for capitalizing on polarization around a brand. It provides examples of brands that have intentionally polarized audiences, such as Ryanair antagonizing customers to amplify its low-cost positioning. It also discusses an Indian television production company, Balaji Telefilms, known for its soap operas. While criticized by some, it has succeeded by catering to its core audience of homemaker women. The conclusion is that managers should not rely on average sentiment and should expect pockets of detractors to form, even for once popular brands, fueled by social media. Polarization can be exploited to serve core customer groups.

Rise of disney
Growing rates of childhood obesity in the US and Europe prompted Disney to reconsider its food licensing strategy. Disney conducted research and found a gap between healthy foods kids wanted and what parents bought. To address this, Disney established nutritional guidelines, phased out unhealthy foods, and began licensing its characters to Imagination Farms to promote fruits and vegetables. However, Disney faced risks such as pricing, legacy expectations, and competition from other brands also promoting healthier foods to children.

A brand is forever! A framework for revitalizing declining and dead brands
This document discusses causes and strategies for revitalizing declining brands. It identifies common causes of brand decline as poor managerial actions like compromising on quality, frequent price increases without added value, price cuts out of desperation, neglecting the brand, and failing to stay with the target market as it evolves. Environmental changes and competitive actions can also contribute to decline. The document recommends rebuilding quality, resisting the temptation to exploit brand recognition through lower quality products, and pursuing a carefully defined target market as strategies to revitalize a declining brand. It argues that most brands can be revived if they still have residual value in brand equity dimensions like differential effect, brand knowledge and customer response.

This document summarizes different ways that consumer decision making can stray from rational deliberation. It discusses low involvement peripheral decision making, variety-seeking behavior, and concepts from behavioral decision theory and behavioral economics like heuristics, framing, and mental accounting. Specifically, it explains how consumers use heuristics like availability and representativeness, how framing can influence choices, and how mental accounting involves categorizing financial options in non-logical ways like integrating small gains with large losses.

It describes each stage in detail, including how internal and external stimuli can trigger problem recognition, the different sources of information consumers use in their search, and how they evaluate alternatives based on attributes and form attitudes. The document also discusses factors that can influence the purchase decision and the importance of satisfying consumers in the post-purchase stage through reinforcement of their choice.
5-(I) how do consumer characteristics influene buying behaviour
Consumer characteristics such as cultural, social, and personal factors influence buying behavior. Cultural factors include culture, subculture, and social class. Culture determines values and views, while subcultures provide identity. Social class indicates divisions in society that influence product preferences. Social factors comprise reference groups like family and roles/status. Personal factors consist of age, occupation, personality, lifestyle, and values. These characteristics shape consumer tastes, choices, and consumption patterns.
5-(II) major psychological processes influencing consumer responses
The key psychological processes that influence consumer responses to marketing are motivation, perception, learning, emotion, and memory. Motivation is influenced by theories like Freud's, Maslow's, and Herzberg's which explain how needs drive behavior. Perception involves selective attention and distortion based on preconceptions. Learning associates products with drives and reinforcement. Emotions are evoked by ads and products. Memory involves forming associations between brands and attributes which marketers aim to strengthen through repetition and cues.
6.6)How do institutional buyers & government agencies do their buying?
Institutional markets consist of organizations like schools, hospitals, and prisons that must provide goods and services to people in their care. They have low budgets and captive clientele. Hospitals must decide on food quality for patients.
Government markets are a major buyer of goods and services. Suppliers submit bids and contracts are normally awarded to the lowest bidder, but quality or reputation may also be considered. Complex projects involving research are negotiated. The process of awarding government work includes announcing requests, shortlisting bidders, and evaluating technical and commercial bids.
6.5)How can companies build strong relationships with business customers?
This document discusses managing business-to-business customer relationships and the benefits of vertical coordination between buyers and sellers. It describes how closer relationships are driven by supply chain management and purchasing alliances. It also discusses the categories used to classify buyer-supplier relationships, from basic transactions to collaborative partnerships. The document notes that while vertical coordination can strengthen ties, it may also increase risks and opportunism that need to be mitigated. New technologies allow top firms to more effectively engage and communicate with their business customers.
6.4)How do business buyers make their decision?
The document summarizes the key stages in a business procurement process:
1) Problem recognition - when a business recognizes an internal or external problem or need.
2) Need and product specification - the business determines general characteristics and specifications.
3) Supplier search - the business identifies potential suppliers through various sources.
4) Proposal solicitation - qualified suppliers submit proposals which are evaluated and shortlisted.
5) Supplier selection - suppliers are evaluated and a preferred supplier is selected, with potential negotiation on pricing.
6) Order and routine specification - the final order details are negotiated and agreed upon.
7) Performance review - the supplier's ongoing performance is periodically reviewed.
6.3)Who participates in B2B buying process?
The document discusses the participants in business buying processes and their roles. It describes the buying center as consisting of individuals who participate in purchasing decisions and share common goals. Common roles in the buying center include initiators, users, influencers, deciders, approvers, buyers, and gatekeepers. Successful business marketers target specific firm types and concentrate their selling efforts on key influencers within buying centers. They must understand each participant's objectives to effectively target their efforts.
6.2)What buying situations do organizational buyers face?
This document discusses different types of business buying situations and their implications for marketing. There are three main types of buying situations: straight rebuy, modified rebuy, and new task. Straight rebuy involves routine reordering from an approved supplier list. Modified rebuy involves wanting to change some aspect of an existing purchase. New task involves purchasing a product or service for the first time. The complexity and time needed for a purchasing decision depends on factors like the cost, risk, and number of people involved. The document also discusses systems buying, where a business buyer prefers to purchase a total solution from one seller, and system selling, where sellers adopt this approach as a marketing strategy.
6.1)What is business market,& how does it differ from the consumer market?
Organizational buying involves a decision-making process where organizations establish needs for products/services, identify options, and select suppliers. The business market consists of organizations that purchase goods/services for producing other products/services. Business markets differ from consumer markets in having fewer but larger buyers, close supplier-customer relationships, professional purchasing, multiple people influencing decisions, longer sales cycles, demand linked to production, inelastic demand tied to costs, fluctuating demand, geographic concentration of buyers, and direct purchasing from manufacturers. Key challenges for business marketers include understanding customer needs, finding new growth opportunities, improving value management, and countering commoditization.

From Hope to Despair The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics.pptx
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.
