Notas do Editor

  1. Every one has their own individual perceptions of marketing.This is often based on past experiences – both positive and negative.Previous client that thought marketing was ‘BullShit’ in his words and when asked why….His answer was ‘Because I have spent £15,000 on adverts in the last year and none of them have worked’.Interesting…Let’s see what you have written on your post it’s – Has anyone had any positive or negative experiences with marketing.
  2. Marketing is a MANAGEMENT PROCESS – NOT an ACTION! You don’t ‘do’ marketing you develop it by:CUSTOMER is at the heart of operations – Understand their wants, needs and develop your products and services to satisfy those in order to make a profit.
  3. PROPER, PRIOR, PLANNING, PREVENTS, PISS, POOR, PERFORMANCE!PRODUCT: No point developing a product or services that no one wants but many businesses decide what to offer first and hope to find a market afterwards. Successful businesses find out what customer wants and tailor products / services to fit. – THINK JML full of products no one wants!PRICE: Must be competitive but not always the cheapest – Adding extra services to increase value to the customer allows you to increase prices i.e. Free monthly marketing review, 24 hour support…121 consultations, face to face - PRICING MUST PROVIDE A PROFIT – Only element that generates revenue – everything else is a COST to the business…Got to get this right. PRICE = POSITIONING = PERCEPTION! Lots of p’s PLACE: Customer surveys show that delivery performance is one of the criteria used when choosing a supplier – Look at ASOS and Next…Delivery before 9PM Same day…Talk about adding value to the customer and speeding up sales opportunities.PROMOTION: Good communication is two way…Communicate Consumer Benefits not just product features.PEOPLE: Affect customer satisfaction…PROCESSES: waiting times, information given to customers throughout the ‘Customer journey’ – Could create great competitive advantage.PHYSICAL EVIDENCE: A service can't be experience before it is delivered so how do consumer know to trust in order to pay the money? What are your clients buying? Testimonials, Case studies, Qualifications, What are we trying to achieve – Chocolate or Victoria SpongeWhat ingredients do we need?What proportion of those ingredients do we need to complete the job?ALWAYS START WITH THE CUSTOMER.No one element of the marketing mix should be done in isolation – This process is called marketing planning!
  4. WARMarketing Strategy – WIN the loyalty of customersOver the opposition of our competitorsIn an ever changing external environment
  5. .[1] Marketing strategy includes all basic and long-term activities in the field of marketing that deal with the analysis of the strategic initial situation of a company and the formulation, evaluation and selection of market-oriented strategies and therefore contribute to the goals of the company and its marketing objectives.[2]
  6. Sun Tzu – The Art of War written some 400BCKnow your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.Opportunities multiply as they are seized.Sun Tzu Read more at http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/s/sun_tzu.html#CJIESKqK2ZI5tYAI.99 
  7. TO SIMPLIFY WE ASK OF OUR BUSINESS THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS…Think of it like a journey….We need to understand our starting position and where we want to go in order to understand which route to take and how to get there…Like anything there are a number of options available think of the AA route planner you get the shortest, mid and longest routes, the ones without traffic, avoiding motorways etc. etc….I order to know which routes are best for us we need to set some perimeters and these are our objectives!
  8. Corporate Objectives come out of the Mission– The Raison Detre – The reason for being – Why the business exists at all and what business are we in…. What who howVision – BHAG the future is bright, the future is Orange…A world where everyone’s mobile hone is on the Orange network.A mission statement is a statement of the purpose of a company, organization or person, its reason for existing.The mission statement should guide the actions of the organization, spell out its overall goal, provide a path, and guide decision-making. It provides "the framework or context within which the company's strategies are formulated." It's like a goal for what the company wants to do for the world. [1]Specific It should be succinct, and absolutely clear what must be achieved.Measurable It should identify a means by which success/the KPIs can be measured, monitored and evaluated.So if, for example, your objective is in store traffic, you must have a target in store traffic figure to beat, by a set number or percentage, in a specified time period.Achievable (Actionable and Aspirational).It needs to provide some direction, a focus to the proposed action and be sufficiently changing to motivate staff/your agency/other suppliers.Realistic (Relevant and Responsible)It must be possible to achieve what you're asking to be achieved in the time AND with the budget that available.If there is any concern about this then raise it now, not when the campaign has finished, and has unsurprisingly not achieved its objective.Time period specific (and Targeted)The objective must be specific about the time period within which it should be achieved.
  9. Internal and External AnalysisCorporate Appraisal5 years hence…What will the market be like, what technology will be available, how will our customers have changed?How we can apply this to our business…Describe the company's current products or services.What are your annual sales? (value and volume)What is each product's share of the market?How does this market share compare to the competition?Describe important external conditions and/or trends impacting on your industry: Social, technological, economic, legal/regulatory, competitive, and institutional.Is the size of the market of your product category increasing or decreasing, and how fast? Why has the market remained stable or changed?Do these conditions create opportunities for your product/service?Do these conditions pose threats to your product/service?Look at technology now from 30 years ago…What affect has this had on businesses?NO ANALYSIS FOR PARALYSIS
  10.
