TARGET MARKETING– Marketing mix is tailored to fit specific target
customer(s)
MASS MARKETING– Vaguely aims at everyone with the same marketing
mix
Target Marketing vs. Mass Marketing
Why is the Four Ps idea helpful?– Provides an organizing framework– Helps to bring many, more detailed decisions
together in a logical fashion– Focuses thinking on the idea that all marketing
decisions must work together as a whole– Focuses on a managerial orientation—and what a
marketing manager/firm can do about needs of target customers
The Four Ps and Marketing Mix Planning
Marketing plan: a written statement of a marketing strategy and the time related details for carrying out the strategy.Spells out, in detail:– What marketing mix is to be offered– To what target market– For how long– What resources (costs) are needed at what rate– What results are expected– What control procedures will be used.
The Marketing Plan
Marketing program: blends all of the firm's marketing plans into one big plan—which is an integrated part of the whole-company strategic plan– Program requires an effective building up process– A good program must be based on good plans– Each plan must be carefully developed– Each plan is based on a marketing strategy– Each strategy is based on a marketing mix and a target market
Plans in overall program should work together to enhance a competitive advantage
Marketing Program
Customer Equity Increases as a Firm Attracts Customers, Retains Them, and Increases Earnings with Them
Competitive advantage: the firm has a marketing mix that the target market sees as better than a competitor's mix– A better marketing mix offers target customers better customer
value– Note: customers who are not in the target market may not see
the marketing mix as offering better valueRequires that the firm:– understand current competitors' offerings– anticipate competitors' likely plans– monitor effects of changes in competition– REALLY understand the target customers' needs
Competitive Advantage
Narrowing down from broad market opportunities that a firm might pursue to a specific strategy– Marketing strategy specifies a specific target market and a
specific marketing mix– Not just some strategy, but one that will offer target customers
superior valueSegmentation helps pinpoint a specific target marketDifferentiation helps pinpoint a marketing mix that is different from and better than what is available from a competitorScreening criteria make it clear why you select a specific strategy (and why others are screened out)S.W.O.T. analysis identifies and lists a firm’s strengths and weaknesses and its opportunities and threats– S.W.O.T helps identify relevant screening criteria (what is needed
to get a competitive advantage)
