needs of the company instead of defining the company and its products in terms of
the customers' needs and wants

66. Traditional Marketing Concepts
Exchange concept – Under exchange marketing concept the exchange of a
product between buyer and seller was the central idea of marketing.
Production concept – It was believed that consumers will prefer products
that are widely available and inexpensive. The production concept aims at
achieving profit through high production efficiency at low cost and wide
distribution.
Product concept – This marketing concept holds the belief that consumers
will prefer those products that are high in quality, performance and are
innovative. This marketing concept involves matching of products with
markets. Marketers focus on making superior products and improving them.
Selling concept – It focuses on aggressive selling and promotion activities to
push the product. Marketers focus on selling what is made rather than
what can be sold.
67. Modern Marketing Concepts

• Identification of needs and wants and their conversion into products

customers and produce goods which are actually needed by the customers. Hence, all marketing activities
be directed towards satisfaction of consumer needs and wants.

any business is to determine the needs, wants and interests of target markets and to deliver the desired
satisfaction more effectively and efficiently than competitors in a way that it preserves or enhances the
consumer’s and society’s well-being.

71. SELLING V/S MARKETING
Marketing is about customer satisfaction. It starts with customer needs and demand
and ends with customer satisfaction. It is a customer oriented approach. Sales, on
the other hand, is about selling what the company produces. It doesn’t care about
the need of the customer but about the profits.
Marketing is about providing quality products and consumer satisfaction. Selling is
about generating by maximizing sales and is a money oriented approach.
In marketing, emphasis is given on the wants of the consumer. Whereas in selling,
emphasis is on the company’s products.
Marketing is different from selling because here the company first determines
customers’ needs and wants and then decides how to deliver a product to satisfy
these wants. In selling, it is the other way round.
In marketing the emphasis is on innovation in existing technology and providing
better value to the customer by adopting a superior technology. Selling emphasizes
on staying with existing technology and reducing costs.
72. SELLING V/S MARKETING
Marketing views the customer as the very purpose of the business. Selling views
customer as a last link in business.
Planning in marketing is long-term-oriented in today’s products and in terms of new
products, tomorrow’s markets and future growth. Planning in selling is short-term-
oriented in terms of today’s products and markets.
Marketing follows customer oriented approach and selling uses production oriented
approach.
Consumer determines price and price determines cost of marketing. In selling, cost
determines price.
Marketing makes use of long-term strategies to get sales – examples, value-added
service, customer education, meeting objectives. Selling makes use of short-term
tactics to get sales – examples are free gifts, discounts, rebates, bribes, etc.
Marketing is an indirect activity whereas sales is a direct activity.

77. II. Situation Analysis
A thorough analysis of the situation in which the firm finds itself serves as the basis for identifying
opportunities to satisfy unfulfilled customer needs. In addition to identifying the customer needs, the
must understand its own capabilities and the environment in which it is operating.
The situation analysis thus can be viewed in terms an analysis of the external environment and an
analysis of the firm itself.
There are several frameworks that can be used to add structure to the situation analysis:
5 C Analysis - company, customers, competitors, collaborators, climate. Company represents the internal
situation; the other four cover aspects of the external situation
PEST analysis - for macro-environmental political, economic, societal, and technological factors. A PEST
analysis can be used as the "climate" portion of the 5 C framework.
SWOT analysis - strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats - for the internal and external
A SWOT analysis can be used to condense the situation analysis into a listing of the most relevant
problems and opportunities and to assess how well the firm is equipped to deal with them.

opportunity can be developed. Market research will provide specific market information that will permit
firm to select the target market segment and optimally position the offering within that segment. The
is a value proposition to the target market.

• Segmentation

mix.

80. V. Implementation and Control
At this point in the process, the marketing plan has been developed and the product has
launched. Given that few environments are static, the results of the marketing effort should
monitored closely. As the market changes, the marketing mix can be adjusted to
the changes. Often, small changes in consumer wants can addressed by changing the
advertising message. As the changes become more significant, a product redesign or an
entirely new product may be needed.
