23. Implementing the Marketing Concept
1. Customer-Orientation
Customer-orientation focuses on meeting the specific wants
and building long-term relationships with the customers. A truly
customer oriented business takes all their important decisions
(not only marketing related) while keeping customer satisfaction
in mind. For example: before upgrading the IT software for a
company, the executives must consider its implication on
customer service and satisfaction. The software might be good
for the organization’s internal operation – it might make the data
more secure and readily available to managers – but might take
long to process information which can cause customer
dissatisfaction.
Two important components of customer orientation are long term
relations and mass customization.
24. Implementing the Marketing Concept
a. Long-Term Relationships:
Today, organizations are able to build long-term relations with
customers because organizations have…
access to a huge quantity of information through research, consumer
reports which can keep organizations abreast with changing trends and
patterns in the market.
Customer Relationship Management System (CRMS) is a software
that help organizations store valuable information about customer’s
specific wants as their professional relationship progresses. For
example: a multinational hotel can store specific data on a valued
customer as what type/location of room the customer prefers, the
cuisine usually ordered, and specific services that he/she is interested
in.
Trust and mutual commitment is also a key in developing strong
relationships.
25. Implementing the Marketing Concept
b. Mass Customization means to develop, produce, and
distribute affordable products with enough variety and
uniqueness that nearly every potential customer can have
exactly what he or she wants.
For mass customization, we need the following three key factors:
1.Information on specific customer needs and wants.
2.Communication channels to advertise to specific audience
3.Flexible& cost effective manufacturing capability to make a
good variety of products while keeping per unit cost low.
26. Implementing the Marketing Concept
2. Coordinated Marketing Activities
Coordinated marketing is the planning and execution of all your
company’s marketing activities (designing product, distribution,
research, promotion, web presence etc.) in a way that is
consistent across all of your customer contacts and creates
more value than when those activities are performed separately.
27. Implementing the Marketing Concept
3. Organizational Objectives
There are three major dimensions of an organizational objectives.
1.Performance objectives refer to the growth and financial success
of an organization. It may include increasing profits, market share,
presence in several geographic markets, reducing costs etc.
2. Societal Responsibility is another important objective which
focuses on an organization’s role in safeguarding and improving the
quality of life of the society while satisfying consumer wants. For
example: Nike has been criticized for years for its sweatshops in
Vietnam and Pakistan where their factories exploit low wage workers
and force people to work under unwholesome working conditions.
