1. MARKETING PRINCIPLES & PRACTICE
1.1 WHAT IS MARKETING?
Marketing is a social and managerial process by which individuals and groups obtain what they
need and want through creating and exchanging products and value with others.
= build and maintain profitable customer relationships with stakeholders
Exchange obtaining a desired object from someone by offering something in return
− 2 parties
− Something of value to offer
− Want to deal with each other
It creates value and gives people more consumption choices
Customer value: how much a product or service is worth to a customer
− Benefits?
− Costs?
− Perceived (waargenomen)value?
Applications marketing that have value:
− Physical products (gsm)
− Services (bank)
− Retail (kledingwinkel)
− Experiences
− Events
− Film, music, theatre
− Places
− Ideas (bob)
− Charities & non-profits
− People
→ anywhere buyers have a choice
1.2 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CUSTOMERS AND CONSUMERS?

A consumer consumes/uses the offering
Consumers’ buying roles
− Initiator: initiates idea
− Influencer: influences
− Decider: ultimate buying decision
− Buyer: actual purchase
− Payer: pays
− User: consumes
− Gatekeeper: controls access
1.3 MARKET ORIENTATION
= a strategic focus on identifying consumer needs and desires in order to define new products to
be developed

It makes organizations more profitable
e.g., cars instead of faster horses

,The 3 components of market orientation
− Customer orientation
Developing and redeveloping offerings to meet customer
needs. So measure customer satisfaction on a continuous
basis and train our service staff
− Competitor orientation
understanding of its competitors’1 short-term strengths and
weaknesses, and its own long-term capabilities and
strategies
− Interfunctional coordination
requiring all an organization’s functions to work together for
long-term profit growth
Customer centricity
= you put the customer at the centre of everything you do
→ try NOT to please ALL customers because it is impossible (fulfilling needs in a profitable way)
