Review Chapter 8

Products, Services, and Brands.


Products

    Product is anything that can be offered to market for attention, acquisition, use or consumption tat might satisfy a want and need. Products include more than just tangible objects, such as cars, computer, or mobile phones. Broadly defined, products also include service, events, persns, places, organizations, ideas, or mixture of these.

Services

    Services are a form of product that consist of activities, benefits, or satisfaction offered for sale that are essentially intangible and do not result in the ownership of anything. examples include banking, hotel, airline travel, retail, wireless communication, and home-repair service.

Product and Service Classification.

    Product and service fall into two broad classes based on the types base on comsumers that use them: consumer products and industrial products.


Consumer Product

Consumer products are products and service bought by final consumers for personal consumption. Marketers usually classify these products and services further basd on how consumer go about buying them. Consumer products include convenience products, shopping products, speciality products, and unsought products.
    Convinience product are consumer products and services that costumers usually buys frequently, immidiately, and with minimal compariso buying efforts. Example: laundy, detergent, candy, magazine, and fast food.
    Shopping products are less frequently purchased by costumer and services that costumers compare carefully on suitability, quality, price, and style. When buying shopping products and services consumers spend much time and effort in gathering information and making comparison. Examples include furniture, clothing, used cars, and major appliances.
    Speciality products are consumers products and services with unique characteristics or brand identification for which a significant group of buyers is willing to make special purchase effort. Examples include specific brand of cars, high-priced photography equipment, designer clothes, and gourmet food.
    Unsought products are consumers products that the consumers either does not know about or knows but does not normally consider buying. Most major new innovations are unsought until the consumers become aware through advertising. Example include life insurance, preplanned funeral and blood donation to red cross.

Industrial Product

Industrial products are those products purchased for further processing or for use in conductuing a business. Thus, the distinction beetween a consumers product and an industrial products is based on the purpose for which the product is purchased. If a consumer buys a lawn mower for use around home, the lawn mower is a consumer products. If the same consumers buys the same lawn mowerfor use in a landscaping business, the lawn mower is an industrial products.


Brands

Brand is a name, term, sign symbol, or design, or a combination of these, tat identities the products or services of one seller or group of seller and differentiates them from those competitors.  Consumers view brand as an important part of a product, and branding can add value to a consumer's purchase. Customers attach meanings to brands and develop brand relationships. As a result, brand have meaning well beyond the roduct's physical attributes. for example, coca cola.

McDonald's: A Customer-Focused "Plan to Win" Strategy

     Ray Croc, a 52 year old salesman of milkshake-mixing machines, set out on a mission to transform the way Americans eat. in 1955, Kroc discovered a string of seven restaurant owned by Richard and Maurice McDonald. He saw the McDonals brothers' fast-food concept as a perfect fit for america's increasingly on-the-go, time-squeze, family-oriented lyfestyle. Kroc bought the small chain for $2.7 million, and the rest is history.
    From the start, Kroc preached a motto of QSCV- quality,service,cleanliness, and value. These goals became maintays in McDonald's corporate and marketing strategy. By applying these values, McDonald's grew quickly to become the world lagest fast-feeder. The fast-food giant now serves more than 68 million customers each day through more than 33000 restaurant in 118 countries, racking up system-wide sales of more than $85 billion annually.
    In the mid-1990s however, McDonald's fortunes began to tun. The company appeared to fall out of touch with customers. American were looking for fresher, better-tasting food and more contemporary atmospheres.
    To fix the problem, the company tried new product, everything from pizza to toasted deli sandwich (both failed). It continued opening thousand of new restaurant each year, but the new operation suffered from the same malaise as already existing ones.
     In early 2003, McDonald's announced a new strategic blueprint- what now calls its "Plan to Win". At the heart of this strategic plan, was a new mission statement that refocused the company on its customers. No longer satisfied with being " the world best quick-service restaurant,"  McDonalds changed its mission to "being our customers' favorite place and way to eat". In line with the new mission, the company built its Plan to Win around five basics of an exceptinal customer experience: people, products, place, price and promotion.
     Under the Plan to Win, McDonald's got back to the basic business of taking care of customers. The goal was to get "better, not just bigger". The company halted rapid expansion and instead poured money back into improving the food, the service, the atmosphere and marketing at existing outlets. To make customer experienced more convenient, McDonalds store now open earlier to extends breakfast hours and stay open longer to serve late-night dinner- more than one-thired of McDonald's restaurants are now open 24 hours.
    Fast-food giant McDonald's knows the importance of good strategic and marketing planing. Thanks to its new Customer-focused strategic blueprints-called the Plan to Win-customers and the company alike once again humming the chain's catchy jingle, "i'm lovin' it".

Company and Marketing Strategy


Company-Wide Strategic Planing: Defining Marketing's Role

    Strategic Planning is process of developing and maintaining a strategic fit between the organization's goal and capibilities and its changing marketing opportunities.The focus of strategic planning is to find to game plan for the long-run survival and growth that makes the most sense given its specific situation, opportunities, objectives, and resources.
    Steps in Strategic Planning:
  1. Defining Market-Oriented Mission
        An Organization exist to accomplish something, and this purpose should be clearly stated. Forging a sound mission begins with the following  question: What is our business? Who is the costumer? These simple questions are among of the most difficult the company will ever have to answer. Succesful companies continuously raise these question and answer them carefully and completely.
        Many organizations develop formal mission statements that answer these questions. Mission statement is a statement of the organization's purpose- what it want to accomplish in the larger environtment. A clear mission statements acts as an "invisible hand" that guides people in the organization.
  2. Setting Company Objectives and Goals
         
    The company needs to turn its mission into detailed supporting objectives for each level of management. Each manager should have objectives and be responsible for reaching them.
  3. Designing the Business Portofolio
         
    Guide by the company's mission statement and objectives, management now must plan its business portofolio. Business Portofolio is the collection of business and products that make up company. The best business portofolio is the one that best fits the company's streghts and weakness to opportunities in the environtment.
         Business portofolio planning involves two steps. First, the company must analyze its current business portofolio and determine which business should recieve more, less, or no investment. Second, it must shape the future portofolio by developing strategies for growth and downizing.
  4. Planning Marketing and Other Functional Strategies
         
    The relationship of marketing to the other business function is often misunderstood.
    - Marketing alone can not produce superior value for the consumer. All company departments must work together to accomplish this.
    - Each department is a link the value chain ( a major tool for identifying ways to create value for the costumer)
    - A company's value chain is onl as strog as the weakest link.
    - Marketers are challenged to find ways to get all departments to "think costumer".
    in its search for competitive advantage, the firm needs to look beyond its own value chain and into the value chains of its supplier, distributors, and ultimately costumers. This "partnering" will produce a value delivery network.

Customer-Driven Marketing Strategy

Market Targeting
     
After company has defined its market segment, it can enter one or many of these segments. Market targeting involves evaluating each market segment's attractiveness and selecting one or more segment to enter. A company should target segments in which it can profitability generate the greatest costumer value and sustain it over time.

Market Potitioning
     Market potitioning is arranging for a product to occupy a clear, destinctive, and desirable place relative to competing products in the minds of target consumers.
