Marketing

What
is marketing?


<    >

The Marketing Expert

Definition

Key Terms

Case Studies

Marketing is the process of
studying and defining the needs of target customers as well as
promoting products to fulfil those needs. For example, if your company
produces ice cream, you need to learn as much as you can about consumer
demands and preferences. (What ­ flavours do they like?
What size pack do they prefer?
)

How do companies  find out about their customers?

Companies conduct / carry out market research. They may do this through
questionnaires, surveys or focus groups1.

What do companies need to know
about their customers?

They want to fi nd out about consumer
behaviour
and buying habits – for example, where do
they shop and what do they buy? They may also want to find out the age and income
bracket
2 of their customers. This helps them to create a
demographic profile3 of a typical customer.
Building up a picture of the customer is all part of customer
relationship management
4 (CRM).

What do companies do with this
information?

Companies will use the
information to make decisions about product development and design.
It also helps them to look at market segmentation5
so that they can target certain areas of the market or certain types of consumers.
It also helps companies to know what their own market share is.

¹ a group of potential customers who
give their opinions about a product, brand, packaging etc.

² a section of the population
classified according to their level of income

³ information such as the age, gender
and occupation of a group of people

the strategies
that companies use to analyse and manage their contact with customers

the way the market
is divided into different consumer groups and the differences between them

Tip

A customer is a person who buys
a product and a consumer is someone who uses a product –
oft en it can be the same person, but not always.

B

Getting the message across

What makes a successful marketing campaign? What’s the
best way to reach the target audience? Justine
Blake, Head of Marketing for a major fashion retailer, explains more:

‘We use a number of different ways to
communicate with our customers. There are the more traditional channels like
TV and billboard advertising, as well as product
placement
1. But these days we’re also doing much more guerrilla marketing2.
For example, in one recent campaign we installed special “mirrors” on bus
shelters, that showed people what they would look like wearing some of our
latest designs.

‘We have our own in-house marketing team but we also use an advertising agency which specialises
in that type of work. Our brand
identity
3 is very important and one of our aims is to build brand awareness4.
We want customers to feel confident about the quality of our clothing and so
increase customer satisfaction
and loyalty.

‘Our latest online campaign featured a
video about a young girl and her grandmother going clothes shopping together.
It was a lovely story about having positive role models. It went viral5 and was
shared on social media all over the world! Of course, the more free airtime6 or press coverage7 we can
get, the better. In the fashion world, celebrity
endorsement
8 can also have a huge impact.

 ‘Ultimately,
we want to engage with our customers9 and
bring them the best products we can.’

¹ a company pays for their product to
be featured in a film

² a company promotes their products in
an unconventional way, oft en on a low budget

³ how a business wants to be seen by
its customers

increase
knowledge of a brand among potential customers

become very
popular through social media

time featured
on e.g. TV, without payment

reporting in
the press

a famous
person is paid to promote a product

communicate
with customers
