The basis of marketing(Teory)


Evolution of 4P
The traditional levers of the marketing mix were broadened until to come to the 6P that besides four factors above indicated considers also the Personal Selling and the Positioning.
The Personal Selling is it together of the activity of support and information for the potential customer. They are able to be understandings like of the activity to additional value for the buyer, turns for example from the intermediary, or from the same vendor. This fifth P, actual of the marketing business to business, is taking foot also in the marketing business to consumer.
The Positioning is the position of the mark, a fundamental factor in the perception of the consumer. A time that the consumer has done an idea over a mark is almost impossible to make them change warning. Example: a well-known mark to produce the low price products, it will not succeed to itself in the market of the luxury without change position
The 4C
Moving the focus from the prospective of the enterprise to that of the customer transform the 4P in 4C:
· produced in Customer Value, value of the product perceived from the consumer;
· price in Customer Costs, you cost supported from the buyer (disbursement);
· distribution in Customer Convenience, convenience of the corrupt point;
· Promotion in Customer Communications, communication.

The supporting columns of the marketing
(The Marketing Concept)
Beyond the 4P there are also the supporting columns of the marketing[1]:
· Concentration and focusing on the market.
· Orientation to the customer.
· The maneuvers of Marketing coordinated.
· The profit (it is realized) means the satisfaction of the customers.
It can define the supporting columns of the marketing like the Marketing Concept.
The marketing concept is a business philosophy crystallized in the mid-1950s and it holds that the key to achieving organizational goals consists of being more effective than competitors in integrating marketing activities toward determining and satisfying the needs and wants of target markets.
Professor Theodore Leviit of Harvard drew a perceptive contrast between the selling and marketing concepts to delimit the two concepts:
“Selling focuses on the needs of the seller; marketing on the needs of the buyer. Selling is preoccupied whit the seller´s need to convert his product into cash; marketing whit the idea of satisfying the needs of the costumer by means of the product and whole cluster of things associated whit creating, delivering and finally consuming it”
Interpreting the thought of Professor Theodore Leviit of Harvard, it can deduct that the selling concept takes an inside-out perspective that it starts whit the factory, focuses on the company´s existing products, and calls for heavy selling and promoting to produce profitable sales.
Vice versa, the marketing concept takes an outside-in perspective. It starts whit a well-defined market, focuses on costumer needs, integrates all the activities that will affect customers, and produces profits by satisfying costumer.
The Elements of the Marketing Concept
The definition of the concept of marketing concept serves therefore to include other important concepts of the marketing that Target market, Costumer needs and profitability.
Target market: no company can operate in every market and satisfy every need. Companies do best when they define their target market(s) carefully and prepare a tailored marketing program. One example of successful target marketing came about after the 1990 census focused marketers´ attention on minority groups´ increasing buying power.
Customer needs: A company can define its target market but fail to fully understand the customer´s needs. Although marketing is about meeting needs profitably, understanding customer needs and wants is not always a simple task. Some customers have needs of which they are not fully conscious. Or they cannot articulate these needs. Or they use words that require some interpretation.
We can distinguish among five types of needs:
· Stated needs;
· Real needs;
· Unstated needs;
· Delight needs;
· Secret needs.
Responding only to the customer`s stated need may shortchange the customer and customer-oriented thinking requires the company to define customer needs from the customer´s point of view. Every buying decision involves trade-off, and management cannot know what these are without researching customers. The key to professional marketing is to understand their customers´ real needs and meet them better than any competitor can.
Profitability: The ultimate purpose of the marketing concept is to help organizations their goals. A company makes money by satisfying customer needs better than its competitor do.
Concrete application of the Marketing Concept
The definition of the marketing concept is useful to conceptualize the distinction between Responsive marketing and Creative marketing.
The Responsive marketing finds a stated need and fills it
The Creative marketing discovers and produces solutions that customers did not ask for but to which they enthusiastically respond.
Hamel and Prahalad believe that companies must go beyond just asking consumers what they want.
Second, marketing must be well coordinated whit other company departments. Marketing does not work when it is merely a department; it works only when all employees appreciate their impact on customer satisfaction.
To foster teamwork among all departments, the company carries out Internal marketing as well as External marketing.
External marketing is marketing directed at people outside the company.
Internal marketing is the task of successfully hiring, training, and motivating able employees who want to serve the customers well. In fact, internal marketing must precede external marketing. It makes no sense to promise excellent service before the company´s staff is ready to provide excellent service.
Many managers who believe that the customer is the key to profitably consider the traditional organization like a pyramid whit the president at the top and costumer in the bottom.
Master marketing companies invert the chart and at the top of the organization are the customers.
Unfortunately too few companies actually practice the Marketing Concept. Only a handful of companies stand out as master marketers: Apple C., Disney, McDonald´s, American airlines, Several Japanese companies (Sony,Toyota,Canon),and U.E companies like IKEA,Ericsson,Club Med,Marks&Spencer.
Most companies do not embrace the marketing concept until driven to it by circumstances. Any of the following developments might prod them to take the marketing concept to heat:
· Sales Decline: When companies experience falling sales, they panic and look for answer.
· Slow growth: many companies realize that they need marketing know-how to identify and select new market or opportunities.
· Changing buying patterns: many companies operate in markets characterized by rapidly changing wants.
· Increasing competition: complacent companies may suddenly be attacked by powerful marketing companies and forced to meet challenge.
· Increasing marketing expenditures: companies may find expenditures for advertising, sale promotion, marketing research and customer service getting out of hand management then decides it is time to undertake a marketing audit to improve its marketing.
The Customer (or consumer)
An entire analysis cannot ignore from the figure of the customer that in substance he is the aim of the marketing action, the subject that it is directed.
It does not result false that the marketing can influence a subject in the choices but it is true that action of the marketing can to be influenced from the consumers also.
Kotler describing the strategies of approach to the market aside of companies, for example, he speaks about marketing myopia or inside-out that them are some cases in which the company loses sight of the needs of the consumers.
Obligation results to investigate on the psychological impulses that they persuade to buy something.
How quite we know the human being behaves in grounds at the needs and to make it he/she uses one decision process.
The decision process can be distinct in impulsive decision (when it´s non conscious need or want to buy something immediately), limited decision (when he/she buy products occasionally or when he/she to obtain information about an unfamiliar brand), or extensive decision (when he/she needs time to decide).
In all these cases the trial of decision are characterized from phases separated but join.
1. Problem recognition
2. Information search( Internal Search in his/her memory-External Out of memory)
3. Evaluation of alternatives(criteria for comparing products )
4. Purchase( when consumer chooses which product or brand wants to buy)
5. Post-purchase evaluation(the buyer begins)

This decision-making trial is influenced from varied outside factors and inside at the individual.
These factors are:
Personal influences ( Democrafic,situational,involvement)
Psychological influences ( Perception,Motives,Learning,attitudes-personality)
Social influences (Roles and family, references group, social group, cultural/subculture)
The Psychological facts
Perception is the process of selecting organizing and interpreting information input to produce meaning received trough sight, taste, hearing, smell and touch.
The perceptions are selected and adapted by self-concept and personal motives that they can change in the running time whit the experience and to the change of the personality.
Thesis of marketing
To the light of the elements acquired in this simply short and synthetic analysis on the basic ideas of the marketing, we can pass to examine in the specific one the tools and the levers that the marketing exploits in its action.
The mine personal opinion is that the focal point of the marketing is the product that it is sold.
The intrinsic content of the product for the consumer is the expression of his/her needs and wants while for the company is the profit.
The definition of product is: a set of tangible and untouchable qualities to get a benefit to a consumer.
The marketing defined it like all what is able to be dedicated to a market for caution, acquisition, I use or I consume, to satisfy a desire or a need. A product is not therefore alone the physical object in himself, but includes also services, persons, places, organization and ideas.
The promotion is the work that stretches out to make acquaintance and to appreciate a service, a product or an idea.
To promote something it is served us of effective technologies of communication, following the well-known model proposed from Shannon and Weaver, based on the connection to stimulate-answered-feedback.
The promotional trial of communication, in the marketing of an enterprise, it is articulated long these phases:
· Identification of the public-target
· Definition of the objectives of the communication
· Elaboration of a communication strategy
· Definition of the means and tools to use
· Definition of the budget planning of the promotional mix
· Creation of the messages and execution (technical accomplishment)
· Spread measuring of the results achieved (evaluation of the effectiveness of the
Communication).

Concepts of segmentation, brand and positioning

In this area we can define the concepts of segmentation, brand and positioning.

In the marketing, the segmentation consists in a together of proceeded that carry to the definition of an objective market on that introduce a product or a service.
The trial of segmentation is divided in three phases:

1. Segmentation of the market: subdivision of a market in equal groups of potential buyers (segments), every one of which asks for different strategies (different mix)[2];
2. Definition of the objective market (targeting) : chosen of one or more objective segments in which to find;
3. Positioning of the product: Creation of a competitive position for the product with respect to those contributing.

Types of marketing in base to the segmentation: TO second of the type of product and of the potential customers, therefore of the segments to that are interested, the enterprises can choose between the following typologies of marketing.

Mass Marketing: comes used the same product, or the same type of promotion/distribution, for all of the customers; in practice it is not carried out segmentation, from the moment that the preferences are considered homogenous. Segment Marketing either differentiated multiple either segmentation: consists in the adapt the offer to the needs of one or plus segments; it is used in the markets in which the preferences are conglomerates, that is to say obvious every group flavors that move away themselves from those of another group.
Concentrated Marketing on an alone segment: the enterprise concentrates his resources on an alone segment. It is the example of the businesses of transportations.
Niche Marketing: consists in to adapt the offer precisely to one or more sub-segment, each of which is characterized from little competition. It is like to the marketing concentrated, with the difference that here the enterprises have a wallet much more differentiated of products. This strategy comes employed from the luxury of assets of producers, like you Shoe it.
Micromarketing or marketing personalized: develop produced themselves and programs on measure for segments geo-, psico-sociografic quite defined.


The brand management is the application of the technologies of marketing to one specific produced, line of product or marks (brand). The purpose is to increase the value perceived from a consumer with respect to a product, increase of reflection the brand equity (value of the brand or property of mark). The operating of the marketing see in the mark it "promise" implicit of quality that the customer is waited from the product, determinate so the purchase in the future.
It is considered that the brand management is a born discipline to the Procter & Gamble how resulted of a well-known memorandum of Neil H. McElroy.
Chosen some brand : A brand of success has the following features: easy to pronounce easy to remember easy to recognize easy to translate it attracts the caution advises characteristic and benefits of the product advises a reference to the business image distinguishes the positioning of the product with respect to the adjustable competition legally.
Brand is a term name, design, symbol and any other feature that identifies one seller´s good or service as distinct from those of other sellers.
The brand name is the part of a brand that can be spoken, including letters, words and numbers.
Brand mark is the element of brand that cannot be spoken, often a symbol or sign o design.
Trade mark is a legal designation indicating that the owner had exclusive use or brand.
Trade name is the full and legal name of an organization.
Brand equity. The marketing and financial value associated whit a brand´s strength in a market.
Brand Loyalty is a strongly motivated and long-standing decision to purchase a particular product or service.
Brand personality is the physiologic cues and less tangible, desirable facets of a well-presented brand.
Typologies of brand- it exists different types of brand, each provided of very different features. In reference to the breadth of the wallet produced to that they report themselves: Mono brand: used by one or little products, and therefore evoking determined functional features of the product to that is reported.
Family brand: reported to a lot produced, and that therefore recalls not specific features (given that is are different for every product of the "family"), but emotional situations or abstract values.
Corporate brand: used is for the products, is to recall the image of the business and distinctive his skills (of habit the same brand of the business).
Furtive brand: far away from the business identity, referable alone to determine produced. Typologies "hybrids":
Brand endorsed: incorporates two brands belonging to two different typologies between those above cited.
Individual brand: different brand for every product.


The Positioning is the activity of marketing orientated to create a distinctive image and effectively competitive for a mark, in the mind of the consumer. Means the procedures of positioning l' organization orientated to the market goes around the mental filters of the consumer and, so doing, makes conditional its behavior d' purchase. The positioning, that today is the more used strategy of marketing in the world, was invented from To The Ries and Jack Trout in 1968, with a series of articles titled "The Positioning Was Cometh", for it reviewed Industrial Marketing. The concepts created from Ries & Trout to the end of the sixties are considered valid still today.

Promotional Mix
In the language of the marketing and of the communication of enterprise, the promotion is the work that stretches out to make acquaintance and to appreciate a service, a product or an idea[3].
To promote something it is served us of effective technologies of communication, following the well-known model proposed from Shannon and Weaver, based on the connection to stimulate-answered-feedback.
The communication whit individuals, group or organizations in order to facilitate exchanges by informing and persuading audiences to accept a company´s product.
The promotional trial of communication, in the marketing of an enterprise, it is articulated long these phases:
· identification of the public-target
· definition of the objectives of the communication
· elaboration and definition communication of strategy of the means and tools to use
· definition of the budget
· planning of the promotional mix
· creation of the messages and execution (technical accomplishment)
· spread measuring of the results achieved (evaluation of the effectiveness of the
· communication)
The Product Adoption Process
The Product Adoption Process is a series of five stages in the acceptance of a product that the companies have to programmer in them communication and decisions and it consists:
Awareness: it uses the mass communication sources like tv, radio, net, magazine; in the beginning the people know that one product exists but they have a few of information about it.
Interest: it uses the mass communication sources but not necessarily the same of awareness; in this stage the people are motivated to obtain information about the product.

Evaluation: it is a personal source that becomes from relatives or friends; and the people persuades themselves that the product will satisfy certain criteria and this is the crucial moment for a company to meet the specific need of the people.
Trial: it is a personal source that becomes from sale people or other professional people; when people accept the product.
Adoption: it is a personal source that becomes from communication. This stage is when people start to adoption the product.
Direct and Internal marketing
The direct marketing is an interactive system of marketing, that uses one either more advertising media to breed a measurable reply or a transaction in any part of the distributive system or the direct marketing is a system planned of record, analysis and traceability of the salient features of a customer (consumer), actions to develop an efficient strategy of connection.
In the specific one we understand to report us to the possibility of to succeed unequivocally to monitor, across the utilization of the actions to it pertinent, is each to push of an entire route than its final result. To obtain this result means to be in a position of:
To optimize the activity in the course of the actions to the until of the objectives of project to individualize the yield of the personal selling Give place to the management of an attentive, precise one and profitable activity of prospecting (search)
The internal marketing is a strategic role in the company to positioning the employees of the enterprise in a competitive area and management across the business communication, training, motivation and spirit of corps.

THE BIRTH OF 4P

After the analysis of the needs and of the wants, we can return to talk about the birth of the means that requires to the satisfaction of these after the first age of the human .
The man, well, goes from an actual situation of self-production to needs assets produced from other in means details of possession intellectual or capability technologies.
In the same time(I suppose), it is born the requirement for who produces to be able to exchange its products with the users.
From this function of exchange it born the commerce that we can define:
a division of trade or production which deals with the exchange of goods and services from producer to final consumer.[1]
It is assisted, to the birth of the concept of product and to its Place of the exchange (distribution),so.
The product was/is a
good( or service) which can be bought and sold or is anything that can be offered to a market that might satisfy a want or need while it means for market the place (also in not physical sense) deputy to the execution of the exchanges.
If in a first phase the production and the sale was able to be concentrate in a place relatively delimited, with the development and the emigration these factors split.
It is created an intermediate figure between producer and consumer, the trader than will be a fundamental importance in the human evolution and economy.
This first economy was based on a simple exchange based on the barter, it passed more to the use of a goods of exchange: wheat, laughed or livestock, until the utilization of metals or precious stones that guarantee exchanges on long distances and long periods of time, with the development of the commercial society.[2]
To facilitate a wider exchange of goods and services, in historic times the introduction of
currency as a standardized money.
The circulation of a standardized currency provides the major advantage to commerce of overcoming the
"double coincidence of wants" necessary for barter trades to occur.[3]
Currency solved this problem by allowing a society as a whole to assign values and thus to collect goods and services effectively and to store them for later use, or to split them among several providers.
The definition of Price is the amount a customer pays for a product can correspond at when we spoke about up.
The last P that we have to analyze is the promotion in this kind of market.
If we start from the definition of promotion like “it together of activity it turns to promote, to publicize and to make acquaintance to the market a business either an its determined produced or service” we should to image what kind of activity could use 150,000 years ago?
The Promotion has four distinct elements - advertising, public relations, word of mouth and point of sale and these elements are present, for example, in an any market of square that we can find in any part of the world.
I think that the market, in those days, is not very different of those above described: they apply what today we call direct market either sold personal or tribal promotion.
For example a technique of sale in a market is that of to systemize a bench a lot orderly and with innumerable such products to attract the customer base with the same mass of the bench and of the number of the objects.
Another means and that of to yell the product with the price and to underline the suitability or write large signs with the price of the products.
The last one is to aim on the quality or on the exclusivity of the product.

[1] Some commentators trace the origins of commerce to the very start of communication in prehistoric times. Apart from traditional self-sufficiency, trading became a principal facility of prehistoric people, who bartered what they had for goods and services from each other. Peter Watson, the historian, dates the history of long-distance commerce from circa 150,000 years ago.

[2] like that of the so-called "peoples of the sea", of the Mycenaean, of the Etruscans or of the Phoenician.

[3] For example, if a man who makes pots for a living needs a new house, he may wish to hire someone to build it for him. But he cannot make an equivalent number of pots to equal this service done for him, because even if the builder could build the house, the builder might not want the pots.

Human Needs And Wants from the past to today


The first step in the study of the marketing turns out to be the understanding of the needs of the man.
In modern age the thinker who has contributed to the study of the human needs using the theories derived from the psychology is the American psychologist Abraham (Harold) Maslow (April 1, 1908 – June 8, 1970).
Maslow contended that humans have a number of needs that are instinctoid, that is, innate.
These needs are classified as "conative needs," "cognitive needs," and "aesthetic needs." "Neurotic needs" are included in Maslow's theory but do not exist within a hierarchy.
According to Maslow needs and motivations they have the same one exactly meant legacy from a hierarchy of relative overbearingness, cannot therefore be passed to a advanced stage if they have not been satisfied the primary needs.
Maslow postulated that needs are arranged in a hierarchy in terms of their potency.
Although all needs are instinctive, some are more powerful than others.The lower the need is in the pyramid, the more powerful it is.
The higher the need is in the pyramid, the weaker and more distinctly human it is.
The lower, or basic, needs on the pyramid are similar to those possessed by non-human animals, but only humans possess the higher needs.
The first four layers of the pyramid are what Maslow called "deficiency needs" or "D-needs:" the individual does not feel anything if they are met, but feels anxious if they are not met..... Needs beyond the D-needs are "growth needs," "being values," or "B-needs." When fulfilled, they do not go away; rather, they motivate further.
The base of the pyramid is formed by the physiological needs, including the biological requirements for food, water, air, and sleep.
Once the physiological needs are met, an individual can concentrate on the second level, the need for safety and security.
Included here are the needs for structure, order, security, and predictability.
The third level is the need for love and belonging. Included here are the needs for friends and companions, a supportive family, identification with a group, and an intimate relationship.
The fourth level is the esteem needs. This group of needs requires both recognition from other people that results in feelings of prestige, acceptance, and status, and self-esteem that results in feelings of adequacy, competence, and confidence. Lack of satisfaction of the esteem needs results in discouragement and feelings of inferiority.
Finally, self-actualization sits at the apex of the original pyramid.
Returning behind in the history, until ancient Greece, a philosopher it had understood this ideal scale of needs that is be resumption by A. Maslow.
This philosopher is Epicurus (341 BCE, Samos – 270 BCE, Athens) the founder of Epicureanism, a popular school of thought in Hellenistic Philosophy that spanned about 600 years.
Him thinks about needs is”Of desires some are natural and necessary, other natural and not necessary ones, natural neither necessary, but only been born others neither from vain opinion".
Epicuro elaborates one species of catalogue of the needs that if satisfied get eudemonia (literally star with to a good demon, serenity):
• Natural and necessary needs, like as an example drink water for refreshing: these satisfy entire since being it limits to you can completely be overwhelms to you.
• Natural but not necessary needs: like as an example for refreshing drink wine, sure I will not have more silks but I will wish drink more and more wines refines to you and therefore the need will remain in dissatisfied part.
• Natural neither necessary needs neither, like as an example desire of Gloria and riches: these are not natural, they do not have limit and therefore they could not never be satisfied.
From here born the accusation of the Christian fathers of the Church that Epicuro suggested one life style raw and unshonourable material of the man.In Epicuro truth it does not indicate which must be the needs natural and necessary to satisfy since is remitted to the reason of the man to establish which for he are the needs essential, natural to satisfy. For Cesar it can be not influential the need to eat and drink while for he it is truly natural and necessary to satisfy its not eliminating desire of Gloria.
This accusation about this theory survives today too to criticize the think of marketing.

The bases of marketing.

Marketing has been defined in various ways but the definition that serves our purpose best is : the marketing is a social and managerial process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want creating, offering, and exchanging products of value whit others.
This definition of marketing rests on the fallowing core concepts: needs, wants and demand; product (goods, services and ideas);value,cost and satisfaction; exchange and transactions; relationships and networks; markets; and marketers and prospects.
The definition above described, based on the essential elements of the life of the man, it cannot ignore the historical analysis of the evolution of the same one.
The first human beings were some hunters and they lived in small nomadic groups.: a style of life quite supporter to the environment of the savannah .
In this first phase of the human existence the needs tight were bound to the survival( these needs cannot create by the society or by the market, they exist in the very texture of human biology and the human condition).
The wants were connected to needs to survive and the demand of products was satisfied by the hunting, fishing or fruit gathering resulted .The exchange and transactions were almost nonexistent. We can define this situation like self-production. In this case,there is not market and no marketing.
About 12 thousand years ago with the extinction of the large game, the man became breeder: the access to a stable one risen again of food favored the permanent formation of community, the domestication of animals and the use of tools in metal.
The agriculture encouraged also the exchange and the cooperation; with it affirm itself of the metallurgy and other innovations, now the bases for the first society were thrown. In this phase there was a change of the society structure as the production of the assets to satisfy the essential needs does not belong to the alone produced some nature but also of the human cleverness.
People could satisfy their needs and wants whit products and they can obtain products whit exchange(if they cannot self-production).
A first economy was born that, from a simple exchange based on the barter, it passed more to the use of a goods of exchange: wheat, laughed or livestock, until the utilization of metals or precious stones that guarantee exchanges on long distances and long periods of time, with the development of the commercial society, like that of the so-called "peoples of the sea", of the Mycenaean, of the Etruscans or of the Phoenician.

The origins of the marketing

Some author individualizes the origins of the marketing in the first years of the past century, when in the United States began to develop itself the first large enterprises durable producers of consumer goods and not durable - Singer, Cocaine Cola, Ford, Sears and a lot other - them whose strategies were orientated towards the creation of a market of mass for the actual products.
The fundamental objective of the enterprises in matter, as well as of everything the other that rapidly added themselves to is - not only in the United States but also in Europe - was that of to develop the utmost the actual volumes of production to the end to achieve such economies of staircase to agree the offer to the market of products standardized to competitive prices.
The achieved of the objective in matter asked for more over the development of a series of activity that went from the definition of the optimal relation between quality and price, to the information and to the persuasion of the consumers, and finally to the distribution of the products.
And 'so that it has beginning the first phase of the cycle of life of the marketing, what comes usual I individualize with the limit of orientation to the production.
According to some other author the marketing is the social expression and the operating transposition of the starts formulated from the classic economists to the end of the century XVIII and that are at the basic of the market economy.
I personally I think that the marketing is been born a lot first.
