and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large
(American marketing association, 2013)

, MODULE 1: TRADITIONAL MARKETING
I. MARKET ANALYSIS
Market analysis = micro environment + meso environment + macro environment
I.I. MICRO ENVIRONMENT
- The internal analysis – dynamics and processes that take place within the organization itself.
Evaluation of the current marketing process.
- Analysis of the organization’s potential to go international
→Identifying potential barriers and stimuli
- Evaluation of your own organization
o Current strategy
o How are we utilizing our marketing mix
o Who are our stakeholders
o How is our organizational structure and is it still efficient?
o Who are we targeting and how?
5
, I.II. MESO ENVIRONMENT
= The industry, environment and markets in which a company operates.
Who is your customer?
- We used to see customers as one, market to the masses.
- Nowadays, we want to target specific groups based on specific characteristics
Example: horses -> old fashioned cars -> high technological cars
Customers – questions to ask.
- Where do they live
- How does their family look like
- Level of education
- Income levels
- Consumption patterns
- Big Five Personality Traits
- Cultural values of Hofstede
Customers - how to get this information?
- Surveys
- Client cards
- Focus groups
- Data and spyware => Hyper-personalization?
Customers – developing personas
- Resumé
Customers – questions to ask

6

= The larger societal forces that affect the micro and meso environment
DESTEP / PESTLE
= Helps us to identify macro developments in various domains
- Demographic
- Economic
- Social (socio-cultural)

7
,SESSION 2 – MARKET STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION
I. RECAP OF MARKET ANA LYSIS
- Micro analysis
o Internal analysis!
o Analysing current processes within the organization and re-evaluating the current marketing
processes
o Is there a possibility to expand (inter)nationally?
- Meso Analysis
- Macro analysis
o Influential factors on a societal level – affecting all actors
o DESTEP method
II. STRATEGY FORMULATION / MARKET STRATEGY (SL9)
STP-process → Segmentation Targeting Positioning
- Incorporating all the acquired knowledge to build a strategy towards your intended audience and
potential audience.
- Which customers will be serve and how will we create value for them – also, how are we going to be
different from the competitors (MESO)
SEGMENTATION
= Dividing the mass market into smaller parts with distinguished characteristics, needs or behaviours that might
require separate marketing strategies or mixes
- Geographic: Where do people live
- Demographic: Structure of population
- Behavioural
- Psychological/Psychographic
→Elements that we analysed in the MESO analysis!
8
, What to look for and how to make it effective? MASDA-principle
- Measurable
- Accessible
o Reach and serve your segment effectively? Evolving! Before: Bill board and spam mails.
Now: television, social media and cookies.
o
o Target = Supermarket: To track her purchases by her loyalty card, so Target segmented
her client. Target knew that the girl was pregnant, because of her purchase behaviour
before the girl knew
- Substantial
o Make sure it is large enough or profitable enough to serve: Is it profitable to invest your
money in specific groups. You can enlarge your target group if it is too specific
- Differentiable
o Between your segment, to personalise
- Actionable
o To what extend is it actionable. While you can have 6 segments that you want to focus on, if
you only have 2 people as marketing staff – you are strongly hindered: Is it worth to create
many segments.
Segmentation – CASE
>>>
How to segment your market in an ethical way? Using Facebook to get information, e.g. you are getting divorced,
if you are voting. How didn’t vote yet? So you can focus on those people, to create questionnaires such as in which
Hogwarts house do you belong? Then you know what kind of people they are and how to convice them to vote, to
purchase goods…
Facebook banned those personality questions
TARGETING
- Based on your segmentation you now determine the segment(s) that you want to target.
- Evaluating each market segment’s attractiveness and selecting one or more market segments to enter
- Target market – a set of buyers sharing common needs or characteristics that the company decides to
serve.
9
, Targeting – case
Whole Foods Market focuses on people with:
- Healthy lifestyle, above-average income, concerned about the environment.
- Families, college degrees – upscale sub-urban areas and large cities.
- Upcoming: young graduates with high education (millennials with money)
POSITIONING
= Arranging for a product occupy a clear, distinctive and desirable place relative to competing products in the
minds of target consumers.
Positioning built on meaningful differentiation, supported by appropriate strategy and implementation, can
help a company build competitive advantage (Kotler, 2018).
E.g.; AirBnb, they don’t market themselves. Exclusive experience, local…
E.g.; Tesla, exclusive car. High end card
POSITIONING AND DIFFERENTIATION
- Branding!
- Standardization OR adaptation of the marketing strategy?
o One size (does not) fits all
o E.g. KFC in China, they serve rice and not fries. So KFC adapts on the market
A. Standardization?
o Economies of scale: Producing as much as you can with low costs
o Global competition: Everyone around the world has the same product, not looking at the
different demographic etc.
o Competitors’ use of standardized concepts
o Converging consumer needs and tastes
o Small cultural differences
o Centralized management of international operations
Standardize your product or standardize your message?
B. Adaptation?
o Large differences in government and regulatory influences
o Local competition
o Competitors’ use of adapted concept
o Diverging consumer needs and tastes
o Large cultural differences
o Decentralized management
