Marketing Mix
• The concept is simple. Think about another common mix - a cake mix. All cakes contain eggs, milk, flour, and sugar. However, you can alter the final cake by altering the amounts of mix elements contained in it. So for a sweet cake add more sugar!

Marketing Mix
• It is the same with the marketing mix.
• The offer you make to your customer can be altered by varying the mix elements.
• So for a high profile brand, increase the focus on promotion and desensitize the weight given to price.

• Another way to think about the marketing mix is to use the image of an artist's palette.

Marketing Mix
• The marketer mixes the prime colours (mix elements) in different quantities to deliver a particular final colour.
• Every hand painted picture is original in some way, as is every marketing mix.

Designing the right marketing mix
• The most creative & challenging step in marketing is designing the right marketing mix
• The marketing mix is the specific collection of actions & associated instruments employed by an organisation to stimulate acceptance of its ideas, products & services
![Page 9: 7 Marketing Mix In 2008, if you’re not on a social networking site, you’re not on the Internet. It’s as true for advertisers as it is for consumers. Social networking is the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/55cf9931550346d0339c1be9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Total Offer to the Customer
• First, the firm chooses the product to meet the identified need of the target segment
• Second, the right distribution channel is used to make the product available
• Third, the firm undertakes eye catching promotion
• Fourth, the price platform is acceptable to the customer & firm

4Ps & 4Cs
• Four Cs
• The Four Ps is also being replaced by the Four Cs model, consisting of consumer, cost, convenience, and communication.
• The Four Cs model is more consumer-oriented and fits better in the movement from mass marketing to niche marketing.
![Page 12: 7 Marketing Mix In 2008, if you’re not on a social networking site, you’re not on the Internet. It’s as true for advertisers as it is for consumers. Social networking is the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/55cf9931550346d0339c1be9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Product- Consumer
• The product part of the Four Ps model is replaced by consumer or consumer models, shifting the focus to satisfying the consumer.
![Page 13: 7 Marketing Mix In 2008, if you’re not on a social networking site, you’re not on the Internet. It’s as true for advertisers as it is for consumers. Social networking is the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/55cf9931550346d0339c1be9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Price- Cost
• Pricing is replaced by cost, reflecting the reality of the total cost of ownership.
![Page 14: 7 Marketing Mix In 2008, if you’re not on a social networking site, you’re not on the Internet. It’s as true for advertisers as it is for consumers. Social networking is the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/55cf9931550346d0339c1be9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Place- Convenience
• Placement is replaced by the convenience function.
• With the rise of internet and hybrid models of purchasing, place is no longer as relevant as before.
• Convenience takes into account the ease to buy a product, find a product, find information about a product, and several other considerations.
![Page 15: 7 Marketing Mix In 2008, if you’re not on a social networking site, you’re not on the Internet. It’s as true for advertisers as it is for consumers. Social networking is the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/55cf9931550346d0339c1be9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Promotion- Communication
• Finally, the promotions feature is replaced by communication.
• Communications represents a broader focus than simply promotions.
• Communications can include advertising, public relations, personal selling, viral advertising, and any form of communication between the firm and the consumer.
![Page 16: 7 Marketing Mix In 2008, if you’re not on a social networking site, you’re not on the Internet. It’s as true for advertisers as it is for consumers. Social networking is the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/55cf9931550346d0339c1be9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Extended Marketing Mix
• There have been attempts to develop an 'extended marketing mix' to better accommodate specific aspects of marketing.
• For example, in the 1970s, Nickels and Jolson suggested the inclusion of packaging.
• In the 1980s Kotler proposed public opinion and political power

Booms & Bithner• Booms and Bitner included three additional 'Ps' to accommodate
trends towards a service or knowledge based economy:
• People – all people who directly or indirectly influence the perceived value of the product or service, including knowledge workers, employees, management and consumers.
• Process – procedures, mechanisms and flow of activities which lead to an exchange of value.
• Physical evidence – the direct sensory experience of a product or service that allows a customer to measure whether he or she has received value. Examples might include the way a customer is treated by a staff member, or the length of time a customer has to wait, or a cover letter from an insurance company, or the environment in which a product or service is delivered

Fundamental Actions

Price elasticity of demand-1
• Elasticity is a measure of responsiveness. Two words are important here.
• The word "measure" means that elasticity results are reported as numbers, or elasticity coefficients.
• The word "responsiveness" means that there is a stimulus-reaction involved.
• Some change or stimulus causes people to react by changing their behavior, and elasticity measures the extent to which people react.

Price elasticity of demand-2
• The most common elasticity measurement is that of price elasticity of demand.
• It measures how much consumers respond in their buying decisions to a change in price.
• The basic formula used to determine price elasticity is
• e= (percentage change in quantity) / (percentage change in price).
(Read that as elasticity is the percentage change in quantity divided by the percentage change in price.)

Viral Marketing- Word of mouth
• Viral marketing depends on a high pass-along rate from person to person.
• If a large percentage of recipients forward something to a large number of friends, the overall growth snowballs very quickly.
• If the pass-along numbers get too low, the overall growth quickly fizzles.

Hotmail- Viral Marketing
• In 1996, Hotmail was a particularly unique email service in that it was free, could be accessed anywhere, and would allow the user to have multiple accounts.
• One of the interesting things Hotmail did was it would attach the message "Get your free email at Hotmail" at the bottom of every email sent by a Hotmail user.
• Once the receiving user clicked on the word "Hotmail" they were taken to Hotmail's homepage where the free email service was further explained.
• The plan, original at the time, worked. By 1998, Hotmail had accumulated 12 million subscribers. Hotmail eventually sold to Microsoft for a cool $400 million.
