Chapter 1
Marketing is an organizational function and a collection of processes designed to plan for, create, communicate and deliver value to customers and to build effective customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders.
Marketing is all about:
-

Creating exchanges
Identity
Connections
Relationships
Solving customer problems
Example: PetSmart is successful in building connections to customers

Marketing creates exchanges by creating, communicating and delivering value through product, place price and promotion.
The Marketing Mix:
-

Product
Price
Promotion
Place (distribution)

Consumer is the end user, while customer is the one that makes the purchase (example: the purchase of BestBuy gift card as gift to friends); demographics are necessary but not sufficient to make connections, while psychographics are important that include personality, interest and so on.
A consumer orientation reflects a business focus on satisfying unmet consumer needs and wants. The marketing concept consists of customer orientation, coordinated effort, value driven and goal orientation, which are related to creating marketing strategy.
Marketing Management Philosophies:
-

Production focus on efficiency of internal operations (what can we make or do best?) Sales focus on aggressive techniques for overcoming customer resistance (how can we sell more aggressively?)
Marketing focus on satisfying customer needs and wants (what do customers want and need?)
Societal focus on satisfying customer needs and wants while enhancing individual and societal well-being (what do customers want and need, and how can we benefit society?)

Market Orientation: an organizational perspective that puts the philosophy of the marketing concept into practice:

-

Gathering market intelligence
Disseminating knowledge
Coordinated response

Market Orientation Details:
-

Obtain information about customers, competitors,

    Started in 1976 Apple Inc. was a small computer technology company run out of a garage by three young men, Steve Jobs, Ronald Wayne and Steve Worniak. Up until 2001 Apple only produced consumer computers that were faster than the market competition but reasonably priced. However big changes were seen in 2001 as Apple released the first generation of iPod portable digital audio player, and saw tremendous success in the marketplace with more than 100 million units sold over 6 years. This also sparked the creation of Apple’s iTunes Store which saw songs available for $0.99 and more than 5 billion downloads by 2008 (Wikipedia).…

    The traditional CRM software is used to manage business interactions with customers in all areas. This is an application that makes communication and other elements much easier in the business world- at a hefty price of $350,000, which was only about 25% of the total implementation cost. There were several different types of potential customers (“noncustomers”) that the traditional CRM software suppliers were not serving with existing products. The three tiers in specific were individual customers and small and medium-sized companies. These customers were not buying traditional CRM for various reasons, with the major factor being cost. At the lower end of the market, many of the small businesses did not have funding to pay for the cost of basic CRM applications. These companies used more simple methods such as database programs; excel spreadsheets, Rolodex or even a basic filing cabinet. Individuals, or companies with few people could not afford to use the CRM, or simply didn’t have acSalesforce.com really eliminated the extensive cost for acquiring CRM software licenses and maintenance. Instead of the extensive cost that the traditional CRM software suppliers enforced, customers instead paid a monthly subscription fee (per user) to access the applications online. They raised the accessibility for their customers, being able to log on to use CRM applications via a simple web site (eliminating the need to purchase a software license), dramatically reducing the time spent on it as well. Along with being faster to use, it also reduces the time spent to train people on how to navigate the software. Not only was it easier, it was more efficient due to the fact that no client software was required to be installed. This allowed users to access CRM applications so long as you had Internet access.…
