Marketing Defined
Broadly defined, marketing is a social and managerial
process by which individuals and organizations obtain
what they need and want through creating and
exchanging value with others.

create value for customers and build strong customer
relationships to capture value from customers in return.

Customer Needs, Wants, and Demands
Demands
• Human wants backed by buying power。
Market Offerings-Products, Wants,
and Demands
Market offerings are some combination of
products, services, information, or experiences
offered to a market to satisfy a need or a want.
Marketing myopia is focusing only on existing
wants and losing sight of underlying consumer
needs.

Marketing Management
Orientations
• The selling concept takes an inside-out view that focuses on
existing products and heavy selling. The aim is to sell what the
company makes rather than making what the customer wants.
• The marketing concept takes an outside-in view that focuses on
satisfying customer needs as a path to profits. As South-west
Airlines’ colorful founder puts it, “We don’t have a marketing
department, we have a customer department.”
Preparing an Integrated
Marketing Plan and Program
The marketing mix is the set of tools (four Ps) the
firm uses to implement its marketing strategy. It
includes product, price, promotion, and place.
The firm must blend each marketing mix tool
into a comprehensive integrated marketing
program that communicates and delivers the
intended value to chosen customers.
Building Customer Relationships
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
In this broader sense, customer relationship
management is the overall process of building
and maintaining profitable customer relationships
by delivering superior customer value and
satisfaction.
Relationship Building Blocks:
Customer Value and Satisfaction
A customer buys from the firm that offers the
highest customer-perceived value—the
customer’s evaluation of the difference between
all the benefits and all the costs of a market
offering relative to those of competing offers.
Customer satisfaction depends on the product’s
perceived performance relative to a buyer’s
expectations. If the product’s performance falls
short of expectations, the customer is dissatisfied.
Customer Relationship Levels and
Tools
Companies can build customer relationships at
many levels, depending on the nature of the
target market.
Many companies offer frequency marketing
programs that reward customers who buy
frequently or in large amounts.
Other companies sponsor club marketing
programs that offer members special benefits and
create member communities.
The Changing Nature of Customer
Relationships
Today’s companies are building deeper, more
direct, and lasting relationships with more
carefully selected customers.
Relating with More Carefully
Selected Customers
Today, most marketers realize that they don’t
want relationships with every customers. Instead,
they target fewer, more profitable customers.
Relating More Deeply and
Interactively
Relating more deeply and interactively by incorporating
more interactive two way relationships through blogs,
Websites, online communities and social networks
Today’s consumers have more information about brands
than ever before, and they have a wealth of platforms for
airing and sharing their brand views with other consumers.
Thus, the marketing world is now embracing not only
customer relationship management, but also customer-
managed relationships.
A growing part of the new customer dialogue is
consumer-generated marketing, by which consumers
themselves are playing a bigger role in shaping their own
brand experiences and those of others.
Partner relationship management
In addition to being good at customer relationship
management, marketers must also be good at
partner relationship management—working
closely with others inside and outside the
company to jointly bring more value to customers.
Partner relationship management
In today’s more connected world, every
functional area in the organization can interact
with customers. The new thinking is that—no
matter what your job is in a company—you must
understand marketing and be customer focused.
Partner relationship management
The supply chain describes a longer channel,
stretching from raw materials to components to
final products that are carried to final buyers.
Through supply chain management, companies
today are strengthening their connections with
partners all along the supply chain.
Capturing Value from Customers
The final step involves capturing value in return
in the form of sales, market share, and profits. By
creating superior customer value, the firm creates
highly satisfied customers who stay loyal and buy
more. This, in return, means greater long-run
returns for the firm.
Creating Customer Loyalty and
Retention
Customer lifetime value is the value of the
entire stream of purchases that the customer
would make over a lifetime of patronage
Growing Share of Customer
Beyond simply retaining good customers to capture
customer lifetime value, good customer relationship
management can help marketers increase their
share of customer—the share they get of the
customer’s purchasing in their product categories.
Building Customer Equity
Customer equity is the total combined customer
lifetime values of all of the company’s current
and potential customers.
Building the Right Relationships
with the Right Customers
Right relationships with the right customers
involves treating customers as assets that need to
be managed and maximized.
Different types of customers require different
relationship management strategies.
The Changing Marketing Landscape
This section have five major developments:
The Changing

Landscape
The Growth of Not-
Rapid Globalization

Sustainable Marketing

Social Responsibility
The Changing Economic Environment
The Great Recession caused many consumers to rethink
their spending priorities and cut back on their buying.
In adjusting to the new economy, companies and slash
prices in an effort to coax more frugal customers into
opening their wallets.
The challenge is to balance the brand’s value proposition
with the current times while also enhancing its long-term
equity.
The Digital Age
The digital age has provided marketers with exciting new
ways to learn about and track customers and create
products and services tailored to individual customer
needs.
Online marketing is now the fastest-growing form of
marketing.
The Growth of Not-for-profit Marketing
In recent years, marketing has also become a major part
of the strategies of many not-for-profit organizations,
such as colleges, hospitals, museums, zoos, symphony
orchestras, and even churches.
Government agencies have also shown an increased
interest in marketing.
Rapid Globalization
Today, almost every company, large or small, is touched
in some way by global competition.
Managers in countries around the world are increasingly
taking a global, not just local, view of the company’s
industry, competitors, and opportunities.
Sustainable Marketing ─ The Call for
More Social Responsibility
As the worldwide consumerism and environmentalism
movements mature, today’s marketers are being called on
to develop sustainable marketing practices.
Corporate ethics and social responsibility have become
hot topics for almost every business.
