Marketing What is Marketing Segmentation and Marketing Marketing
- Slides: 49
Marketing § What is Marketing? § Segmentation and Marketing § Marketing Services
What is Marketing § Human activity directed towards satisfying needs and wants through “exchange” processes
What is Marketing § A social and managerial process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want through creating, offering and exchanging products of value with others
What is Marketing § Marketing, like many other terms associated with recreation and leisure, is not easily defined § Ideas about marketing have changed over time § One might simply define marketing as “anything that facilitates exchange”
What is Marketing § Please note that marketing and selling are not the same thing! § Marketing is often given negative association based on its confusion with selling
Identifying A Market § Markets are identified in numerous ways: § § Looking at existing products Listening to consumer complaints/suggestions Demographic trends Direct consumer solicitation
Market Segmentation § Once a market is identified, the market is then divided into segments § This division leads to an identification of subgroups of the larger market as being made up of clusters of people with like qualities
Target Marketing § Once segments are identified and labeled, products can be marketed at a particular segment. This is called target marketing. § Target marketing is more effecting than general blanket marketing in that there is an indication that your market is clearly interested in your product.
Target Marketing § For many scholars, target marketing is the only true marketing based on its pre-identification of a select market § Often blanket marketing may be used in advance to help identify a particular market segment (consumer response, surveys, etc may be used)
Positioning § The combination between the selected target market and the appropriate market mix (see 4 Ps)
Marketing Services § As discussed before, resorts often market services or experiences, rather than goods products § Because of their intangible quality, service products and experiential products may require special marketing techniques
4 Ps of Marketing § § § Product Price Place Promotion (Oddly enough, the customer is not part of the traditional 4 Ps of marketing)
4 Ps of Marketing § The 4 Ps may not be sufficient given that the customer is present during the service production and delivery process § The customer will encounter the “service factory” and other people that may impact the subjective quality of the service product
3 Additional Ps § Physical Evidence § Process (and Procedure) § People
Physical Evidence § There always tangible aspects of the service product: § § Appearance and condition of facilities Hotel rooms Restaurants The kind of car your lawyer drives? ? ?
Physical Evidence § Service products may be difficult to appreciate at a later date (unlike goods products) § Service providers often supply tangible reminders of the service § § T-shirts Post cards Bath robes Other souvenirs
Process and Procedure § Processes often affect the nature of a service product more than a goods product § The more restrictive the process, the more likely the customer will be unsatisfied § § Penalties for late bookings Restaurant dress codes Rules of conduct Hours of use
People § Possible the most important of the Ps § People can include the employees of the service provider as well as the customers
People § In the purchase of goods products, the attitude or appearance of the personnel manufacturing the product is of little interest and most likely not apparent (except when Nike or some other company is accused of sweat shopping)
People § Other customers purchasing the same good are encountered only during the purchase process itself (unlike a service product…say a theme park…where other customers are encountered continually and may greatly affect the environment and ultimately the satisfaction levels of that product)
People § The consumer’s own temperament or recent experiences are much less likely to affect the performance of a good’s product
Key Terms § Satisfaction § Quality § Value
Market Segmentation Magic § Wal-Mart § Disney Cruise Lines
Wal-Mart
Brand Distinction § Hotels use brands to attract different audiences § Brands may be created within one hotel chain, or a chain may buy another chain, which gives them additional brands
Brand Distinction § Until the 1980 s, it was often thought that one brand name with many levels was the best policy § It was felt that this might confuse customers
Brand Distinction § During the late 1980 s and definitely in the 1990 s, creating new brands become the trend § Corporate take-over was also a big trend of the 1990 s § Each audience could then clearly identify with a certain brand avoid confusion
“Purina” Method § Own the competition § Create as many possible variations on your product as possible to appeal to as many different market segments as possible § You may even create directly competing brands that target the same market segment
Pampers/Luvs § Both companies are owned by Proctor and Gamble § To increase their shelf space, Proctor and Gamble invented Luvs § Appealed to slightly different market segment § Allowed for Proctor and Gamble to dominate the shelf space (if you want Pampers, you have to carry Luvs too) § Coke does the same thing
Hotels on the Highway § Marriott § Grouping different brands to attract new convention markets § Fills up zoned “shelf space” at highway exits
Disney/Las Vegas § Own several resort properties with different themes to appeal to different markets § Own several theme parks to beat out competition § Movie studios create battles between their top films, which gives them more headline space in the press
