,Lecture 1 - Introduction and Five Core Concepts
The core of marketing is creating customer value and profitable customer relationships.
Think about:
● Which customers to serve? → Target market
○ Segmentation
○ Targeting
● How to create value for customers? → Value proposition
○ Differentiation
○ Positioning
Focussing too much on selling your product rather than the customers’ wants and needs, this
narrow-mindedness may lead to marketing myopia: a short-sighted and inward approach to
marketing that focuses on the needs of the business rather than on the needs / experiences
/ benefits of the customer. It often leads to businesses making decisions that are not in the
best interests of their customers or that fail to take into account changes in the marketplace.
It is important to know what your customers want and many factors can affect customer
demand. Decision makers should therefore conduct marketing research.
Five core customer and marketplace concepts:
1. Needs, wants, and demands
a. Needs: basic human requirements
i. Physiological needs
ii. Safety needs
iii. Love/belonging needs
iv. Esteem needs
v. Self-actualization needs
b. Wants: needs shaped by culture and individual personality; desires for specific
items. E.g. need for food → wants a pizza
c. Demands = wants + buying power
, 2. Market offerings
a. Offered to satisfy needs and wants
b. Goods, services
c. Experiences
d. People
e. Places
f. Properties
g. Organizations
h. Information
i. Ideas
3. Value (utility) and satisfaction
a. Customer perceived value: the customer’s evaluation of a market offering,
relative to those of the competing offerings – which one to buy?
b. Customer satisfaction: the extent to which a product’s perceived performance
matches a buyer’s expectations – whether to buy again
c. Setting the right set of expectations is important: low expectations may fail to
attract customers, high expectations may lead to disappointments
4. Exchange and relationships
a. Exchange: the act of obtaining a desired object by offering something in return
– Marketing consists of creating, maintaining, and growing desirable exchange
relationships
b. Strong relationships are built through consistently delivering superior customer
value
c. Customer relationship management: a customer value driven marketing
strategy. — Once a firm fully understands its customers and the marketplace, it
must decide which customers it should serve and how to bring them value with
the goal to build the right relationships with the right customers.
d. Firms do NOT attempt to maximize customer satisfaction
5. Markets
a. A market is a set of actual and potential buyers of a product or service.
The selling concept focuses on existing products and heavy selling, rather than making what
the customer wants. Starting point = the factory. Ends = profits through sales volume.
The marketing concept focuses on satisfying customer needs. Starting point = the market.
Ends = profit through customer satisfaction.
Marketing is the process through which companies engage customers, build strong
customer relationships, and create customer value and satisfaction in order to capture
value from customers in return.
, The goal is to attract new customers by promising superior customer value, as well as
maintaining and growing the current customer base by delivering satisfaction.
