A MODULE ON PRINCIPLES OF MARKETING: An Introduction to Business Marketing

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.

"Today it is important to be present, be relevant, and add value."

DEFINING MARKETING AND ITS OBJECTIVE


Marketing, on the top of other functions in a certain
business, pertains to dealing with customers. Here, customers
are considered as a critical component, and engaging with
customers takes a lot of process. Hence, selling and advertising
is just the tiny tip of the marketing iceberg and the entire
marketing process. Marketing is a process by which marketing
organizations engage customers, build strong customer
relationships and create customer value in order to capture
value from customers in return. It rotates around determining

the first step in learning the marketing process
— understanding the core marketing
concepts.
1. Needs, Wants, and Demands

basic physical needs like food, social
needs and individual needs)

they are shaped by culture and
individual personality. They are
described in terms of objects that will
satisfy needs.
 Demands - human wants that are backed by buying power.
In order to understand how needs, wants, and demands are related, imagine a person
who needs water survive (thirst). The person may want a carbonated drink to satisfy his
or her thirst. If the person has the resources, he or
she may demand a particular brand of

MARKETING APPROACHES: Traditional vs. Contemporary


Marketing as a discipline, including its strategies and approaches, have evolved
across years as technology advanced and lifestyle of people changed. Traditional
Marketing is the general term use to define the wide array of marketing channels we
see daily. It is the kind of marketing which helps reach the audience with offline mode
of advertising, which means anything except digital way to promote company‘s
products. Contemporary Marketing, also called as modern marketing which uses digital
platforms, refers to the theories that stress the importance of customer orientation versus
the traditional market orientation. Traditional approaches focus on production,
product, selling methods, and the market, while contemporary approaches focus on
relationships, social awareness, and content
TECHNIQUES OF TRADITIONAL MARKETING

marketing is print media advertising. It is also
considered as a mass advertising technique.
(e.g.: Newspapers, Magazines, Journals, and

2. Broadcast Advertising - Commercials that air on
the radio or television are referred to as
broadcast advertising. Broadcast advertising
reaches a big audience in a short period of
time, although it has shorter life cycle than Print
Advertising and is more expensive. (e.g.: Radio An example of Print Media Advertising.

advertising).
3. Telemarketing - The act of selling, soliciting, or promoting a product or service
over the phone is known as telemarketing. The telephone is the most cost-
effective and flexible. (e.g.: Inbound Telemarketing, Outbound Telemarketing,
B2B and B2C Telemarketing).
4. Outdoor Advertising - Outdoor advertising, often known as out-of-home
advertising, is a traditional marketing technique that reaches people or
customers while they are outside of their home. (e.g.: Billboard, Signage, Bridge
Banners, Transit/ Vehicle Ads)

TECHNIQUES IN CONTEMPORARY MARKETING

Contemporary Marketing is associated with


Digital Marketing. It is widely popular due to
cultural, technological and societal shifts around
us. As long as technology is evolving, this approach
will continue to grow.

establishing and sustaining valuable customer
relationships. By providing higher customer value and
satisfaction, you may build stronger customer connections.
It covers all areas of client acquisition, retention, and https://www.pinclipart.com/maxpin/ibhToRR/

information about individual customers and carefully managing customer touch points
to optimize customer loyalty.

RELATIONSHIP BUILDING BLOCK: Customer Value and Satisfaction


 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. Customers frequently fail to assess a product properly or
objectively value and cost. They act based on ―perceived value‖ or what they
think is valuable.
 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION- Higher levels of customer satisfaction lead to higher
levels of revenue. Customer loyalty, in turn, leads to improved business
performance. The degree to which a product's perceived performance meets or
exceeds a buyer's expectations is known as customer satisfaction.

CAPTURING VALUE FROM CUSTOMERS

The company gains a competitive advantage by providing higher customer value.


It will result to more long-term benefits, aside from return of investment for the marketing
firm. On this unit, we will discuss the results of generating customer value.

Creating Customer Loyalty and Retention


Customer
Customers that are loyal spend more and stay longer. Equity
According to research, keeping an existing client is five times
less expensive than acquiring a new one. Assessing
Share of
Customer Lifetime Value has a great impact on the Market
company. It pertains to the amount by which a customer‘s
revenues outweigh the company's costs of acquiring,
Customer
Loyalty and
marketing, and serving the customer over time. Basically, it is the Retention

total worth of all purchases made by a customer over the course of a


lifetime patronage.

Growing Share of Customer


Share of Customer means the portion that marketer get of the customer‘s purchasing in
their product categories. To increase this, companies might provide more variety to
current consumers to boost customer share. They may also teach personnel to cross-sell
and up-sell to existing clients in order to advertise more items and services to them.

Building Customer Equity


The total combined customer lifetime values of all of the company's present and future
customers are referred to as customer equity. It is a metric for estimating the worth of a
company's customer base in the future. Clearly, the more loyal the company‘s
profitable customers, the higher the company‘s customer equity.

TYPES OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS


Various categories of customers require different
techniques for engagement and relationship
management. The objective is to form the proper
connections with the right customers.
 Strangers- low potential profitability and little
projected loyalty. The relationship management

approach is simple: don't invest anything in them; create profit from every
transaction.
 Butterflies - potentially profitable but not loyal. Businesses may enjoy butterflies for
a short time, but they must move on and stop investing in them until the next
opportunity arises.
 True Friends - both profitable and loyal. They return on a frequent basis and
inform others about their positive experiences with the business. As a marketer,
you must continue to delight these customers and nurture, retain and grow
them.
 Barnacles - highly loyal but not very profitable. They cause drag, much like
barnacles on a ship's hull. Barnacles are one of the most difficult clients to deal
with.

A marketing strategy is linked to your business from https://www.aha.io/blog/the-marketing-strategy-vs-the-marketing-plan
strategy and serves as the framework for connecting with your target audience and
achieving your company goals. A comprehensive marketing strategy ensures that your
marketing activities are aligned with your business goals, optimizing the return on your
marketing investment. A marketing plan, on the other hand, outlines the particular
measures and details you will take to achieve the company's marketing goals or overall
course, as well as individual campaign objectives.

MARKETING STRATEGY PROCESS


1. Identify your business objectives – one of the best way to set your goals is
through SMART Method (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-
bound)
2. Conduct market research – to figure out why people would purchase your
product or service. There are two (2) kinds of market research:
a. Primary Market Research - from current customers (e.g.: shopper‘s feedback/
survey
b. Secondary Market Research – gathered from potential customers
3. Understand your customer – You can figure out when, where, and how your
target customer buys things after you know the specifics of your buyer persona
4. Analyze the competition - Compare and contrast their goods, marketing
techniques, prices, and supply chains to your own. Your competitors can help
you enhance your tactics and prevent mistakes.
5. Establish your Marketing Mix –
Marketing Mix is the collection of
marketing tools that companies use to
carry out its marketing strategy. This
business theory refers to 8P‘s:
a. PRODUCT – the service or
goods that you are going to sell
b. PRICE – the value exchange
c. PLACE - anywhere the product
https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/marketing-mix-7p-banner-web-icon-1128397847

appears physically
d. PROMOTION – the manner by which items are pushed or put on the market
e. PEOPLE – Individuals that are crucial to the campaign's or launch's success
f. PROCESS – examines how you provide your goods to customers and whether
your business requires more analysis and improvement.

15
PHILIPPINE COLLEGE OF ADVANCED ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY
A MODULE ON PRINCIPLES OF MARKETING: An Introduction to Business Marketing

receipt).This promotes the notion that the consumer has completed a
worthwhile transaction.
6. Testing Marketing Strategy – Assessing your marketing methods on a relatively
small scale before completely launching a new product, service, or campaign
7. Implement Marketing Strategy – take note the effectiveness. Revise or extend if
necessary.

MARKETING PLAN PROCESS

overpricing and creating goods and services that is too similar to your
competitors.
2. Conduct SWOT Analysis – determine your company‘s Strength, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats. It can help you improve your objectives.
3. Develop Buyer Personas – Buyer persona describes the qualities and features of
the customer most likely to purchase a company's product or service.
4. Set budget Parameters – In order to get the best ROI, businesses must know how
to allocate finances for certain approaches.
