3. “ Marketing” can defined as an activity that creates &
sustains exchange relationships among those who are
willing & able to buy
and sell products,
services, satisfaction &
even ideas. In the
present day for business,
it is considered to be the
activities related to identifying
the needs of the consumers & taking such actions to
satisfy them, in return of some consideration.
In marketing, it is more important
to do what is strategically right rather than what is
immediately profitable.
5. The term “ marketing ” constitute different processes,
functions, exchanges & activities that create perceived
value by satisfying needs
of the individuals .
Marketing induces or
helps in moving people
closer in making decision
to purchase & facilitate a
sale.
Marketing in recent decades, has gain a
lot of importance. It is an immediate cause & effect of
rapid economic growth, globalization, technological
upgradation, development of ever-increasing human
needs, wants & increasing purchasing power.
6. MARKETING DECISION
A
business organization faces
countless marketing variables
that affect the success & failure
of strategy implementation.
Some examples of marketing
decisions that may require
special attention are as follows :
▪ The kind of distribution network to be used. Whether
to use exclusive dealership or multiple channels of
distribution.
7. ▪ Whether to limit or enhance the share of business
done with a single or a few customers ?
▪ Whether to be a price leader or a price follower ?
▪ Whether to offer a complete or limited warranty ?
▪ Whether to reward salespeople based on straight
salary, straight commission or on a combination of
salary/commission ?
▪ The amount & extent of
advertising. Whether to use heavy
or light advertising. What should be
the amount of advertising in print
media, television or internet ?
8. DELIVERING VALUE TO
CONSUMER
Marketing needs to work in co-ordination with other
departments to produce superior value to the consumer.
It acts as a part of the organizational chain of activities.
Marketers are challenged to find ways to get all the
other departments to think with focus on consumer. In
its search for competitive advantage, the firm needs to
look beyond its own chain of activities & into the chains
of its suppliers, distributors and ultimately consumers.
This “partnering” will produce a value delivery network.
10. To succeed in today’s competitive
market place, companies must be
customer centered. They must win
customers from competitors and
retain them by delivering greater
value. Since companies cannot
satisfy all consumers in a given
market, they must divide up the
total market ( MARKET
SEGMENTATION ), choose the best
segments ( MARKET TARGETING ) &
design strategies for profitably
choosing targeted segments better
than the competition ( MARKET
POSITIONING ).
11. MARKETING PROCESS
Once the strategic plan has
defined the company’s
overall mission & objectives,
marketing plays a crucial role
in carrying out these objectives.
The marketing process is the
process of analyzing market
opportunities, selecting the target markets, developing
the marketing mix and managing the marketing effort.
Target customers stand at the center of the marketing
process.
13. MARKETING ANALYSIS
Marketing analysis involves a
complete analysis of the
company’s situation. A
company performs analysis
by identifying environmental
opportunities & threats. It
also analyses its strengths &
weaknesses to determine
which opportunity the
company can best pursue.
14. Marketing Analysis has
three components as
planning,
implementation &
control. Through
analysis organization
feed information &
other inputs to each of
the other marketing
management
functions.
16. MARKETING UTILITIES
There are four
marketing utilities,
which are the
capabilities of the
product offering to
satisfy the needs
of a customer are
enhanced when
exchange occurs.
These include the
following :
17. ▪ FORM UTILITY : The product is produced or modified for
the customer. An example of this might be a car
manufacturer designing their car so that a driver will be
able to plug in his I-pod or other devices.
▪ TIME UTILITY : The consumers ability to buy the product
when he or she wants to have the product. A grocer may
store certain amounts of certain foods until the prime
season they are bought. It is ensuring that the customers
will have access to the food when they desire it the most.
18. ▪ PLACE UTILITY : This describes when a consumer is able
to buy the product at a location that is convenient to him
or her. The best example of this is online sales since
home is the most convenient location for a consumer.
▪ POSSESSION UTILITY : Ownership of the product is
transferred from the marketer to the buyer. An example
is getting a loan & then buying a car. This utility is
concerned with the ease of transferability for the
consumer.
19. THE CONCEPT OF
MARKETING MANAGEMENT
There are FOUR marketing management concepts that
companies will utilise
in their marketing
objectives. All of
these aim to achieve
profits and objectives,
but the focus & means
by which they do so
will differ. They will
typically follow one of
the four major concepts as follows.
21. CONCEP

objectives by products

22. TRADITIONAL APPROACH
VS MODERN APPROACH
To understand the
fundamentals of
marketing, it is important
to understand two
different approaches
used when a company
choose to introduce a
new product. These two
approaches are
“Traditional Marketing”
and “Integrated
Marketing”.
24. If a company opts to use “traditional approach”, all of
the departments i.e. Development, Engineering,
Production, Marketing & Distribution work as separate
entities. For example, Development will draw up a
product and then pass it along to Engineering to create
it. Engineering will then pass it along to Production to
produce it. After that it will be moved to Marketing
who will eventually move the product to Distribution
for a product launch.
TRADITIONAL
APPROACH
25. If a company opts for “Integrated Marketing”, all of the
departments work together as a single unit.
Engineering will not begin a product without ensuring
that Production has the capability to produce it.
Development will check with Marketing to make sure
that the product is in line with the company’s image
and approach. Basically, in this approach every
department will at some point integrate their work
with all the other departments in the process.
INTEGRATED APPROACH
26. WHICH IS BETTER ?
Clearly, “Integrated Marketing” is the better approach.
While following this approach, it may take a little longer
to launch a product but the likelihood of success is also
greater.
The “Traditional Methodology” not only leaves much
room for interdepartmental conflicting interest but also
often ignores the needs of the consumers & is therefore
regarded as an outdated approach in the field of
marketing.
28. TRADITIONAL
MARKETING
DIGITAL MARKETING
Marketing needs to interrupt the
customers to get attention.
Customers control their attention and
marketers engage when and what
consumers want.
Marketing pushes a consistent message
to the marketplace.
Marketers join the conversation by
enabling communities of customers,
prospects, partners and other influencers.
Limited set of marketing channels. Rapid proliferation of (and
experimentation with) new measures and
targetable channels.
Marketing is mostly “right-brained”
(creative).
Marketing is mostly left-brained
(calculative).
Marketers are not held fully accountable
and as a result are not considered
strategic at many organizations.
Marketers can demonstrate bottom-line
impact, justify their budget and plan the
marketing mix with quantitative rigour.
29. MARKETING PLANNING
Marketing Planning involves
deciding on marketing strategies
that will help the company attain its
overall strategic objectives. A
detailed plan is needed for each
business, product or brand.
A product or brand plan may contain different sections :
Executive Summary
Current Marketing Situations
Threats & Opportunities Analysis Objectives & Issues
Marketing Strategies
Action Programs
Budgets & Controls
31. ❖ The “Executive Summary” is a short summary of the
goals & recommendations to be presented in the plan.
❖ The “Current Marketing Situation” is a section of a
marketing plan that describes the target market & the
company’s position in it. Important sections include :
A market description
A product review
Analysis of the competition
A section on distribution
COMPONENTS OF
MARKETING PLANNING
32. ❖ In the “Opportunities &
Threats” section, managers are
forced to anticipate important
developments that can have an
impact, either positive or
negative, on the firm.
❖ Having studied the product’s
threats & opportunities, the
manager can set objectives &
consider issues that will affect
them. The objectives should be
stated as goals that the company
would like to attain during the
plan’s term.
33. ❖ Marketing strategy is the marketing logic by which the
business unit hopes to achieve its marketing objectives.
Strategies should be created for all marketing mix
components.
❖The Marketing Budget is a section of the marketing plan
that shows projected revenues, costs and profits.
❖ The last section of the marketing plan outlines the
controls that will be used to monitor progress. This allows
for progress checks & corrective actions.
34. DEALING WITH THE
MARKETING ENVIRONMENT
A company must
carefully analyse its
environment in order to
avoid the threats and
take advantage of the
opportunities. Areas to
be analysed in the
environment normally
include the following :
36. Forces close to the company such as its
ability to serve customers, other company
departments, other channel members that
comprise the organization, suppliers,
competitors, market intermediaries as well
as market.
38. Broader forces such as
demographic factors, economic
forces, political and Legal forces,
Technological and Ecological
forces, as well as social and
cultural factors.
39. MARKETING MIX
Marketing Mix forms an
important part of overall
competitive marketing strategy.
The marketing mix is the set of
controllable marketing variables
that the firm blends to produce
the response it wants in the
target market. The marketing
mix comprises of everything that
the firm ca do to influence the
demand for its product. These
variables are often referred to as
“4Ps”.
40. The 4Ps stand for Product, Price,
Place & Promotion. An effective
marketing program blends all of
the marketing mix elements into
a coordinated program designed
to achieve the company’s
marketing objectives by
delivering value to the customer.
The 4Ps
are from the “Marketer’s Angle”.
When translated to the
perspective of “Buyers”, they
may be termed as 4Cs.
42. EXPANDED MARKETING MIX
Typically, all organisations use a
combination of 4 Ps in some form
or the other. However, the above
elements of marketing mix are not
exhaustive. It is pertinent to discuss
a few more elements that may form
part of an organizational marketing
mix strategy. They have got more
currency in recent years. Growth of
services has its own share for the
inclusion of new elements in
market.
45. PRODUCT
Product stands for the “goods & services” combination
the company offers to the target market.
Strategies are needed for
managing the existing products
over time adding new ones &
dropping failed products.
Strategic decisions are to be
made regarding branding,
packaging & other product features such as warrantees.
Products can be differentiated on the basis of size,
shape, color, packaging, brand names, after sales services
and so on.
46. Organizations formalize
product differentiation through christening “brand
names” to their respective products. Brands enable the
customers to identify the product & the organization
behind it. The product’s even the firm’s image is built
around brand through advertising & other promotional
strategies. Customers tend to develop strong brand
loyalty for a particular product over a period of time.
Organizations seek to hammer into the
customer’s mind that their products are different from
others, it does not matter whether the difference is real
or imaginary.
47. PRICE
Price stands for the amount of
money consumers have to pay to
obtain the product. Necessary
strategies pertain to the location
of the consumer, price flexibility,
related items within a product line
& terms of sale. The price of a
product is its composite
expression of its utility & value to
the consumer, its demand, quality,
reliability, safety, the competition
its faces, the desired profit and so
on.
48. In an industry, there would be organizations with low
cost products and other organizations with high cost. the
low cost organization may adopt aggressive pricing
strategy as they enjoy more freedom of action in respect
of their prices.
However, in the competitive
environment such an approach may not be feasible.
More and more companies of today have to accept the
market price with minor deviations & work towards their
costs. They reduce their cost in order to maintain their
profitability.
50. In penetration, firm keeps a tempting low price for a
new product which itself is the selling point. A very
large number of potential consumer may be able to
afford and willing to try the product.
In skimming, prices are set at a very high level. The
product is directed to those buyers who are relatively
insensitive to prices but sensitive to the novelty of the
new product.
For a new product, an organization may either
choose to “skim” or “penetrate” the market.
51. PLACE
PLACE stands for the company activities that make the
product available to the target consumers.
One of the most basic marketing
decision is choosing the most
appropriate marketing channel.
Strategies should be taken for
the management of channel(s) by which ownership of
product is transferred from producer to consumer and in
many cases, the system(s) by which goods are moved
from where they are produced from where they are
purchased by the final consumer.
52. Strategies applicable to the middlemen
such as wholesalers & retailers must be designed &
implemented.
The distribution system of a
policy are important determinants of the functions of
marketing. The decision to utilise a particular marketing
channel or channels sets the pattern of operations of
sales force.
53. PROMOTION
Promotion stands for those
activities that communicate the
merits of the product & persuade
the target consumers to buy it.
Strategies are needed to combine
individual methods such as
advertising, personal selling and
sales promotion into a coordinated
campaign. In addition, promotional
strategies must be adjusted as a
product move from an earlier stage
from a later stage of its life.
54. Modern Marketing is highly ‘promotion oriented’.
Organizations strive to push their sales & market standing
on a sustained basis & in a profitable manner under
conditions of complex direct & indirect competitive
situations.
Promotion also acts as an impetus
to marketing. It is simultaneously a communication,
persuasion and conditioning process. There are atleast
four major promotional methods or tools as follows :
56. PERSONAL SELLING
▪ It is one of the oldest form of marketing, involving face
to face interaction of sales force with the prospective
buyers & provides a high degree of personal attention to
them.
▪ It may initially focus on developing relationships with
the consumer but end up with efforts to make a sale.
▪ Personal Selling suffers from very high cost as sales
personnel are expensive. Also they can attend one
physical customer at a time. This method is used in every
industry for all kind of products.
57. ADVERTISING
▪ It is a non personal, highly flexible and dynamic
promotional method. Advertising may be directed
towards consumers, middlemen or opinion leaders.
▪ There are several media for advertising such as
Pamphlets, Brochures, Newspapers, Hoardings,
Magazines, Radio, TV, Display Boards, & so on.
▪ Advertising is likely to succeed in promoting the sales
of an organization but its effectiveness with respect to
the expenditure cannot be directly measured.
58. PUBLICITY
▪ Publicity is a communication of a Product, Brand or
Business by placing information about it in the media
without paying for the time or media space directly.
▪ It is also a non-personal form of promotion similar to
advertising but here no payments are made to any kind of
media. Thus, it is a way of reaching consumers with
negligible cost.
▪ Basic tools for publicity are press releases, press
conferences, stories, reports and internet releases. These
releases must be of interest to the public.
59. SALES PROMOTION
▪ Sales Promotion is an omnibus term that includes all
activities that are undertaken to promote the business
but are not included specifically under the previous
three.
▪ Activities like discount, money refunds, contests,
installments, kiosks, exhibition & fair constitute sales
promotion.
▪ They are meant to boost sales and are done periodically
to help in attaining a larger market share to the
organization.
60. PEOPLE
It comprises all human
actors who play a part in
the delivery of the
market offering and thus,
influence the buyer’s
perception , namely the
firm’s personnel and
customers.
61. PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
It is the environment in which
the market offering is
delivered and where the firm
and firm interact. Physical
evidence can also be referred
to as the proof that the
consumer has been offered
and delivered the product or
service for which he has paid
the price.
62. PROCESS
The actual procedures,
mechanisms and flow of
activities by which the
product/service is delivered
to the customer. This is the
last step that leads to the
goal seeking of the
organization that is to satisfy
the customer.
63. MARKETING STRATEGY
TECHNIQUES
In order for businesses to win market
share & stay relevant they need
to consider many types of marketing
strategies. Each marketing strategy
can communicate to the target
market the benefits and features of its product. For
example, “Apple” has invested in creating commercials for
televisions, billboards & magazines that showcase their
products in such a way that their customers feel an affinity
towards apple products.
64. SERVICE MARKETING : It is
applying the concepts, tools
and techniques of marketing
to services. Service is any

65. SOCIAL MARKETING : It refers to the
design, implementation & control of
programs seeking to increase the
acceptability of a social idea, cause
or practice among a target group.
AUGMENTED MARKETING : It is the provision of additional

secretarial services, etc. Such innovative offerings
provides set of benefits that promise to elevate customer
service to unprecedented levels.
66. RELATIONSHIP MARKETING : The process
of creating, maintaining and enhancing
strong value-laden relationships with

Airlines offer special lounges at major
airports for frequent flyers, providing
benefits to selected customers to
strengthen bonds which will go a long way
building relationships.
CONCENTRATED MARKETING : It
Is a market-coverage strategy
in which a firm goes after
a large share of one or
few sub-markets.
67. PERSON MARKETING : People are also

behaviour towards particular people.
For eg. Politicians, sports or movie stars,
market themselves to get votes or to

change attitudes or behaviours
towards particular places such as
business sites, tourism sites.
68. ENLIGHTENED MARKETING : A marketing

is a market-coverage strategy
where a firm decides to target

Ltd. has Lifebuoy, Lux & Rexona in popular whereas Dove
& Pears in premium segment.
69. DEMARKETING : It
comprises of marketing strategies to reduce
demand temporarily or permanently – the
aim is not to destroy demand but only to
reduce or shift it. This happens when there

are overcrowded on weekends & holidays.
Here, demarketing is used to regulate
demand.
SYNCHRO MARKETING : When
the demand for a product is
irregular due to season, causing
Idle or overworked capacity,
synchro-marketing can be used
to find ways to alter the same pattern of demand through
flexible pricing, promotion & other incentives.
70. CONCLUSION
Ordinarily, Marketing is an activity performed by business
organizations. However, it is not necessarily confined only
to business enterprises.
“ Marketing is 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 customers”.
- Philip Kotler.
