    Marketing warfare strategies are a type of strategies, used in business and marketing, that try to draw parallels between business and warfare, and then apply the principles of military strategy to business situations, with competing firms considered as analogous to sides in a military conflict, and market share considered as analogous to the territory which is being fought over citation needed. It is argued that, in mature, low-growth markets, and when real GDP growth is negative or low, business operates as a zero-sum game. One person’s gain is possible only at another person’s expense. Success depends on battling competitors for market share and firm 's goal should be to identify and profitably satisfy customer needs.…

    Guerilla Marketing

    • 7 Pages

    Guerilla marketing aims to achieve traditional marketing and advertising goals such as exposure, frequency, awareness and reaching out to consumers but by employing unconventional methods. The strategy of guerilla marketing is to target small and specialized customer groups in such a way that bigger companies would not find it worthwhile to retaliate. The word ‘guerilla' stems from the concept of ‘guerilla' warfare, which is a tactic whereby infantry divisions wait for their enemy and attack them by surprise instead of approaching the enemy line lacking subtlety and having little regard for fatality. Guerilla marketing can be as different from traditional marketing as guerilla warfare is from traditional warfare. Rather than marching their marketing dollars forth like infantry divisions, guerilla marketers snipe away with their marketing resources for maximum impact and minimal cost.…

This war is bloody an killed almost a quarter of million people, that is why the Colombian government has decided to forget about bullet and bobs and use a more peaceful way, marketing. To do so the international advertising agency SSP3, who takes care of cases such as Red Bull or Unilever had to find a way to reach those guerillas hiding in the middle of the Amazonian jungle. Their idea was simple and consisted of using the feelings and emotions or each them, for example many of them don’t go home to celebrate Christmas which is according to their research a really important celebration because the number of guerillas demobilizing increased drastically around this celebration. They therefore decided to launch their “operation Christmas” and transform 10 giant trees into Christmas trees that would light up whenever someone comes near them with a sign reading: If Christmas and come to the jungle, you can come home”. Their latest operations consisted of showing for Christmas again pictures of mothers of guerillas soldiers with a slogan saying “before being a guerillero, you are my son”.
