The Reality…
• Marketers know that their products or services cannot appeal to EVERYONE
• It is essential that marketers look for people who:– A) have an interest or need for their
product and,– B) have the ability to pay for their
product
04/21/23Page 6
Market• All people who share similar needs
and wants and who have the ability to purchase a given product
04/21/23Page 7
Consumer versus Industrial Markets
• Consumer Market– Consists of consumers who purchase goods
and services for personal use
– Consumers’ purchase goods and services based on these main areas:
• Save money• Make life easier• Improve appearance• Create status in the community• Provide satisfaction related to some other personal
motivation
04/21/23Page 8
Consumer Versus Industrial Market
• Industrial Market– Also called business-to-business (B2B)
market, includes all businesses that buy products for use in their operations.
– Goals are different in this market:• Increase profits• Improve productivity• Increase sales• Decrease expenses• Make their work more efficient
04/21/23Page 9
Consumer versus Industrial Market• Companies producing products for
the consumer market classify resellers as a part of the industrial market
• Therefore, these companies require two distinct marketing plans to reach each market!
04/21/23Page 10
Market Share
• A market is further defined by the total sales in the product category
• Market Share– A company’s percentage of total sales volume
generated by all companies that compete in a given market
04/21/23Page 11
Market Share, cont.
• Knowing one’s market share helps marketers analyze their competition and their status in a given market
• Market shares change all the time as new competitors enter the market and the size of the market increases or decreases in volume
04/21/23Page 12
Target Market and Market Segmentation
• Businesses know that not EVERYONE will buy their products or services
• They look for ways to offer their products or services to the people who are most likely to be
interested
• This involves segmenting, or breaking the market into smaller groups that have similar
wants and needs
04/21/23Page 13
Target Market and Market Segmentation
• Segmentation goes beyond classification into the consumer or industrial market
• Market segmentation seeks to find the group of people most likely to become customers
• The group that is identified for a specific marketing program is the target market
04/21/23Page 14
Target Marketing – Why?• Identifying a target market is very
important because all marketing strategies are directed at this group.
• When a business fails to identify a target market, its marketing plan has no focus.
• Identifying a target market correctly is a key to success.
04/21/23Page 15
Consumers versus Customers• A product may have more than one
target market
• Case Study Example: Build-a-Bear knows they need to target children and parents differently.
04/21/23Page 16
Consumers versus Customers, cont.
Case Study Example, cont.:• Children are the consumers, the ones
who will ask for the bears and play with them
• Parents are the customers, the ones who need to approve it, and the ones who will pay
04/21/23Page 17
Customer Profiles• Lists information about the target
market such as– Age– Income Level– Ethnic Background– Occupation– Attitudes– Lifestyle– Geographic Residence
• Businesses develop these to get a clear picture of their target market
04/21/23Page 18
Think Critically & Discuss…
• Work in a group of four (4) to build a customer profile for Dierberg’s
• You will share with the class in 10 minutes
• Be prepared to back up your ideas!

Marketing Mix• These are the tools marketing
professionals use and control to influence potential customers
• Include the four basic P’s of marketing strategies:– Product– Place– Price– Promotion
04/21/23Page 20
Marketing Mix, cont.• Some would add a 5th “P”, PEOPLE,
as it is necessary to have a clearly defined target market before you can create marketing strategies
• All of the “P’s” are interconnected– Actions in one area, affect decisions in
another
04/21/23Page 21
Product
• This “P” revolves around making decisions about what to make and sell
• Some marketing strategy examples of this P include:– Features of the new iPhone– The brand name of a new Nabisco breakfast food– How to package a new organic Hershey candy
bar– What the warranty of a Sony Bravia LCD will
entail– How to update and improve the Ford Focus so it
can remain competitive
04/21/23Page 22
Place• The means of getting the product into the consumer’s hands
• It is important to know where one’s target market shops!
• Examples of marketing decisions based on place include:– Whether a local bakery should build additional stores on
the Illinois side of the river– Whether Build-a-Bear should create a website where
customers can purchase their products– Whether Tropicana should have products shipped via air or
rail
04/21/23Page 23
Price• What is exchanged (monetarily) for the product
• This strategy must consider what customers are willing and able to pay
• Examples of pricing strategy decisions include– Toyota’s suggested manufacturer’s retail price on the
Camry– Wal-Mart offering credit terms (i.e., their own credit
card) at their stores– Hollister having an “End of Summer Sale” on select
items
04/21/23Page 24
Promotion• Deal with how potential customers will
be told about a company’s products
• Examples of promotion strategy include– The 2010 Nike Shock campaign:
• The message used (language, style, approach)• The media that is used to spread the word
about the shoe• The special offers Nike will employ to create
buzz and business• The timing of the campaigns and the product
roll-out
