17. THE EVOLUTION OF
MARKETING CONCEPTS

18. The Production Concept
• Oldest Concept
• Customer
– Favour products that are widely available and affordable
• Goal
– Improve production, cost and distribution efficiency
• Usefulness
– Demand exceeds supply
– Product cost is too high, pressure to decrease
• Risk
—— [[WWhhaatt ttoo ddoo wwhheenn ssiittuuaattiioonn cchhaannggeess??]]
• E.g.: - Lenovo and Haier in China
I need lots of food
and places to
roam around..

19. The Product Concept
• Marketers are caught in a “love-affair” with their product
• Consumer
– Favour products with best quality, performance, innovative features
• Goal
– Improve product features in a continuous fashion
• Usefulness
–– [[IIff mmaarrkkeett iiss ssttaabbllee,, nnoo ccoommppeettiinngg tteecchhnnoollooggiieess iinn ssiigghhtt]]
• Risk
– Competing technology (spray instead of mouse trap)
enters market
I will climb to the
topmost branch
and get the fruits.
No one usually
does it!

20. The Selling Concept
• Aim is to sell what firms make rather than make what the market wants
• Consumer
– Will not buy enough products unless seller(s) undertake large-scale
promotion and selling effort
• Goal
– Promote product, do aggressive selling and coax people into buying
• Usefulness
– Unsought goods – encyclopaedias, insurance, etc
• Risk
– Dissatisfied customers – will not buy again,
will tell 10 people!
• “Inside out”
Food! Food! Food!
First Come, First Serve

21. The Marketing Concept
• Customer Centred instead of Product Centred
• Customer
– Buys product that best satisfies needs and wants
• Goal
– Determine needs and wants of target markets
– Deliver the desired satisfaction more effectively and efficiently than
competitors
• Risk
– Short term focus with respect to larger social and ethical issues
– Overlooks long term customer welfare (fast food)
• Customer driven marketing
– When customers know what they want

22. The Marketing Concept
• Customer driving marketing
– When customers do not yet know they even need something
– Meeting existing latent and future needs by understanding customers
better than they understand themselves
• E.g.: GSM networks, CD players
• Total Market Orientation
– “Outside in”
Which animal
will be my tasty
meal today…?
