An Introduction to Business Marketing
QUARTER 3
FOREWORD
We have been hearing a lot about ―marketing‖ even before we became drawn
to social media. Since we were kids, we encounter a lot of advertisements from
television and radio commercials, published in magazines, newspapers, and posters, up
to the purchase recommendations that we get from the people around us. You can
always see or hear advertisements every time wherever you go. Someone is always
selling something. You may assume that this is what marketing is all about, but an
opportunity has been brought down to your table so you can properly determine if
marketing is really just about "selling something". This module will allow the students to
explore and dive deeper into understanding Marketing and what is beyond Marketing
Management. It aims to uncover the different layers of marketing from familiarizing
Marketing terms, learning its process, utilizing its core concepts to analyse the market,
up to applying it in the fast-changing, increasingly digital, and complex business
environment. Through this module, students will be able to see marketing from a more
realistic perspective but in a relatable setting.
This module consists of topics that will introduce the students to the movements
of the market and understanding them. Each topic will be discussed using case studies
of different products, brands, and companies, reflecting the actual scenarios in the
market and learning them by core. This module also provides an avenue for the
students to start maximizing their knowledge in exploring the intricate world of
Marketing through several tasks and reflective activities in line with the lessons and their
corresponding objectives.
As they untangle every topic of this module, students will be able to recognize
the importance of understanding the basics of Marketing including its principles and
approaches. Carefully studying its roots will unlock the possibility of resolving different
kinds of dilemma that is necessary to continuously adapt in this competitive industry.

It takes good information to create and
develop good products and marketing programs.
Marketing information, along with research, satisfy the
condition for marketers to make faster, yet more
accurate, decisions by bringing them closer to their
consumers, allowing them to learn more about who
they are, what they want, and what their competitors
are up to. Marketers should continuously be looking for

the industry. Companies must know how to transform piles of market information into
new customer insights that will help them give higher value to customers in order to
compete in today's market. They may now collect and find massive amounts of
marketing data with the fast growth of information technology.
Big data refers to the huge and complex data sets generated by today‘s
sophisticated information generation, collection, storage, and analysis
technologies
Marketers must filter through reams of data in order to find the gems – the
pieces of information that provide consumer insights. That is the job of
Marketing Analytics. Marketing Analytics refers to the techniques and
technologies that are used to make informed marketing decisions that result
in successful results and a positive return on marketing expenditure.
When big data has been sorted and filtered through Marketing Analytics,
they utilize this data to build critical consumer insights. Customer Insights
pertains to renewed understandings of customers and the marketplace
derived from marketing information that enable the firm to provide greater
value to its customers.
Company must also design a tool that will help the managers get the right
information, in the right form, at the right time. This is possible by creating a
Marketing Information System (MIS). It is made up of people and methods
committed to analyzing information needs, creating the information required,
and assisting decision-makers in using the information to make and confirm
relevant customer and market insights
MARKETING RESEARCH

marketers frequently require formal studies that give

LESSON
Researchers may observe that individuals buy
antiperspirants more frequently in the summer; generally
at pharmacies and grocery shops and that is because
customers are more worried about managing their
perspiration whenever the weather is hot. Being aware to
all of these may help retailers and businesses better
target deodorant sales at specific periods of the year.
Businesses can learn why customers make certain
decisions by analyzing customer behavior. How
individuals feel and think when deciding whether or not
to purchase a product is called Consumer Behavior.
