What is a product?

According to Armstrong and Kotler (2011, 236), a product is anything that can be offered to the market for attention,
acquisition, use or consumption that might satisfy a want or need. Products include more than just a tangible offer like
cellphones, cars, gadgets even houses. For instance, when we buy a laptop or computer, we are also charged for the
installation of MS office applications, or warranties for gadgets and appliances, or the coziness of the place where you

Department of Education • Republic of the Philippines


usually buy your iced coffee or milk tea. Thus, the definition of product is not limited to goods only but includes services,
events, persons, places, organizations, ideas or mixes of these. Examples of these are the following:

Product Examples

Goods car, soap, pen, cellphone

Services haircut, massage, packaged tour

Events seminars, concerts, fun runs

Persons celebrities, politicians, artists

Places malls, tourist destinations

student council, school clubs,


Organizations
non-profit organizations, associations

designs, book authorship, music


Ideas
compositions

Services are forms of products that consist of activities, benefits, or satisfactions offered for sale that are essentially
intangible and do not result in ownership of anything.

Today, experiences are considered part of any product offering. It refers to the entire journey of the customers
before, during and after a product is sold or when a service is availed. Great experiences help the companies to differentiate
their product offerings among others. For example, the friendliness and responsiveness of the staff, the good ambiance and
coziness of the store, proper product handling or packaging during shipping, or good after sales services. Thus, providing
good customer experiences should be considered by the companies when creating products.

When developing the product as an element of the Marketing Mix, marketers should ask the following:

“What can I do to offer a better product to this group of people than my competitors?”

Businesses are offering a better product by capitalizing on one or a combination of the following individual product
decisions:

1. Product attributes quality, product features, product style and design. Some examples of companies and businesses
which capitalize on product attributes are mobile phone companies, automobile and appliance stores. For the
service industry, it could pertain to signature massages for spa, authentic recipes and dishes in restaurants or any
trade secrets that the company can be proud of.

2. Branding is how the company builds and manages its brand. A brand is a name, term, sign, symbol or design or a
combination of these, that identifies the seller or the maker of a product or service. The logo, the company’s website,
their taglines or anything that can build or enhance a positive image of the business. These are elements of branding
that can make the target market to easily remember the product or service.

3. Packaging involves designing and producing the container or wrapper of the product. Not only does it hold but it
also protects the product, packaging helps to sell it easily through good packaging designs and eye-catching
elements that attracts the target market.

4. Labeling or the use of labels is to communicate the name or other pertinent information about the product such as
name, volume, weight, product description, nutritional information, ingredients, and contact information of the
manufacturer. It must also include product expiration date, and applicable handling and preservation requirements.
Examples of marketable labels that earn customer trust are Sangkap Pinoy seals, organizational endorsements
such as Philippine Dental Association or DOH, ISO certifications, BFAD Approved, etc.

Department of Education • Republic of the Philippines


5. Product Support Services pertain to the customer services given by the company or the business. Customer
services can be a minor or major part of the total offering.

In addition to the above-mentioned ways by which companies can get ahead of their competitors, businesses can also
introduce new products. New products mean the following:

• original products

• product improvements or modifications

• new brands developed by company

Companies go through new product development to adapt to rapid changes of technology, competition and varied
consumer preferences.

The creation of new product is done through the following steps also known as:

1. Idea Generation- initial stage of generating product ideas through brainstorming, observation or need problem
identification techniques.

2. Idea Screening- after ideas are generated, marketers will evaluate and screen them according to criteria such as
profitability, demand, and feasibility (Are the product ideas doable? Are the current resources be enough?) to reduce
them into a manageable few.

3. Concept Development and Testing- ideas are converted into product concepts (detailed versions of products stated
in meaningful consumer terms) and are presented to a certain group of consumers to get feedback and to help
decide for the best concepts that have the greatest appeal.

4. Business analysis-evaluates the attractiveness of the proposal based on cost, sales, and profit projections.

5. Product Development- concepts are transformed into actual or tangible working prototypes.

6. Market testing- the stage where a new product is marketed into a limited geographical area that will determine whether
attributes, positioning, advertising, and promotional strategies are necessary.

7. Product Commercialization- final stage wherein the new product is launched..

WHAT IS IT

One of the hardest decisions in selling a product is how to set a reasonable price for a specific target market. It is
because price oftentimes defines the value of the product for most of the costumers. If you set your price too low, customers
will see the product as substandard or of low quality. On other hand, if you set it too high, some may see it as over priced
or too expensive. Thus, in setting the price, one must be careful when setting the price.

What is price?

Price is the amount of money charged for a product or service. It is the sum of all values that customers give up to
gain benefits of having or using a product (Kotler and Armstrong, 2014). Among the 4Ps’, price is the only marketing mix
element that generates revenue while other incur costs. Price can even make or break a company. This is because if the
company sets a price that it is too low, the company will not earn a profit. Whereas, if the product is priced too high without
offering good value, no one will patronize it.

Department of Education • Republic of the Philippines


Factors when Setting Prices

In setting the price, the following factors must be taken into consideration:

1. Product Cost. The costs involved in manufacturing a product or offering services have a direct impact on the product
price. Product costs include raw materials, labor, research, promotional activities, product development, testing and
others. For businesses to become profitable, marketers must set price that is greater than its total cost.

2. Competition. When setting a price, the marketer should always consider the prevailing price in the market. If he is
not, the business might lose its customers. For instance, if the customer sees another competitor who offer the
same product with the same benefit at a lower price, he would opt to patronize the competitor’s product instead.

3. Overall Marketing strategy. The marketing strategy that the business will employ will also have an impact on setting
the product price.
a. For example, if the company decides to offer a premium line of personal care products (shampoo, soap,
lotion), he must first understand the needs of his target market. Organic products entail higher costs
because of the raw materials used in producing them. Since higher costs will result in higher price, the
question is, “will the customers be willing to pay the price?”
b. Other companies opt to use target costing in which they start with an ideal setting price, then work backward
by identifying costs that will fit in the targeted selling price.

4. Economic Conditions. Economic boom, recession, inflation or changes in interests affect not only consumer
spending, as well as the company’s costs of producing and selling a product. During hard times, companies can do
price cutting methods or decrease the size or volume of their product to offer the same product at the same price.
Some may sacrifice the quality in order to manufacture the product at a lower cost.

5. Government Laws and Regulations. The government may impose laws and regulations that can affect the product
price. For example, when Republic Act No. 10963 or Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Act was
implemented in the Philippines, companies which offers cars, tobacco, sugar-sweetened beverages, and fuel had
also increased their prices in the market.

General Pricing Strategies

The following are the pricing strategies that businesses are employing:

A. Cost Based Pricing – a strategy in setting the price based on the cost of manufacturing, distributing,
promoting and selling the product, plus profit margin. The cost includes variable cost (cost that varies with
the level of production, such as raw materials), fixed cost (cost that is fixed regardless of production or sales
level such as rent and salaries).

For example, a company sells cakes in the market. The variable cost per unit is Php 200, and the fixed cost
per unit is Php 50. Profit markup is 30% on cost. The computation for the selling price is:

Department of Education • Republic of the Philippines


B. Target Return Pricing – a strategy to recover the cost of investment every year. For instance, if the business
wants to have a return of 25 % on the invested capital amounting to Php 100,000., the following formula
should be used:

𝐷𝑅 𝑥 𝐼𝐶
𝑇𝑅𝑃 = 𝑈𝐶 +
𝑈𝑆

.25 𝑥 100,000
Solution:𝑇𝑅𝑃 = 𝑃ℎ𝑝 16. +
5,000 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠

𝑇𝑅𝑃 = 𝑃ℎ𝑝 21.00

C. Odd Pricing – putting odd numbers at the end of the price that is perceived lower by the consumer. For example,
instead of pricing a t-shirt for Php100., businesses set the price as Php 99 or Php 99.99.

D. Loss Leader Pricing – mostly used in supermarkets, where essential products are priced lower to appear
affordable as compare to other products. This is done to attract customers to get inside the store and eventually persuade
them to buy other items where mark ups are higher.

E. Price Lining – marking all products with the same price. For instance, some stores price all their merchandise in
their store at Php 66 or Php 88. It is also common among markets where you will hear a vendor shouting, “ Bente lahat ng
klase, bente”.

F. Prestige Pricing – pricing the product higher than its manufacturing cost. This is common among businesses that
sell branded items, antique collections, and famous artworks.

G. Marginal Pricing – pricing the product below its unit cost. This is done to sold old stocks, (just like in the case of
Christmas décors sold on months of January), or to cover fixed costs incurred especially during highly competitive situations
(local and international flights after a year when Covid 19 hit the country).

H. Predatory Pricing – pricing the product at a low price to challenge competitors to be driven out of the market.
After the purpose is achieved, original selling price is restored and short-term losses is recovered.

I. Going Rate – pricing the product close to the competitor’s price. This is common among oil companies, fast food
chains and others.

J. Promotional Pricing – trial discount on the selling price to encourage repeat purchase.

When new products are introduced, there are two types of pricing Strategies:

1. Price Skimming – pricing the product at a high cost to recover investments.

2. Market Penetration Pricing – Pricing the product close to its unit cost to attract a larger market.

WHAT IS IT

When the country was placed under community lockdowns due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, people are forced to
stay at home. For the basic necessities like food, toiletries, alcohol and sanitizers, etc., only the head of the family is allowed
to go to the wet markets or supermarkets to buy these needs. For other things like if you want to eat in your favorite fast
food chain, or simply buy things in the malls, or in retail outlets, most of us especially students are prohibited to enter into
these premises. However, it was made possible through the help of online shopping platforms and couriers in the country.
This is what the marketing mix component, Place, is all about; making the products available at the right place and time.

What is place?

Place or distribution channels is a structure of different organizations that are involved in the process of making
products or services available to consumers. It seeks answers to the following question;

“How can companies or businesses deliver their products to its customers effectively and efficiently.”
Being effective talks about what is the best method to reach our target market, while efficiently means the most cost
effective and fastest way to store, handle and deliver the products or services.

Business organizations sell products to consumers by using channels or “intermediaries” such as: retailers –
channels that sell mainly to customers, wholesalers – institutions that buy goods from manufacturers and resell them, and
thru agents or brokers – people who facilitate the sale of a product.

Businesses can take many routes on its journey from the producer to the buyers. The following figure shows the most
common methods used by these organizations:

Department of Education • Republic of the Philippines


Direct Channel. Businesses have no marketing intermediaries and deals directly to the consumers. Examples are
apparel brands that have their own store in malls or online store, peddlers or door to door sales, small business owners in
your neighborhood.

Indirect Channel. Manufacturers deal with one or more intermediaries such as retailers or distributors due to
different functions that they can provide to manufacturers. This is common among fast consumer goods that are found in
supermarkets.

Functions of Distribution Channels

Manufacturers are using marketing intermediaries because of their efficiency and expertise in distributing goods. In
addition, according to Kerin, Et. al, on their book entitled Marketing in Asia (2013), they also benefit the manufacturers by
performing the following functions;

Singapore: McGraw-Hill.

Nature and Supply Chain Management

To become efficient and effective in delivering the products, manufacturers and companies must also take care of
its logistics and supply chain. Logistics involves those activities that focus on getting the right amount of the right products
to the right place at the right time at the lowest possible cost (Kerin, et al, 2013). To do this, companies must decide on what
is the most cost-effective way to store, handle and move their products to its target market.

Department of Education • Republic of the Philippines


Supply Chain Management is the management of upstream and downstream flow of materials, final goods, and
related information among suppliers, the company, resellers and the consumers (Baquillas, 2017). Thus, the primary goal
of supply chain management is to make sure that activities and resources involved are well coordinated until it reaches the
consumer.

Supply chain management involves marketing logistics, which is how to plan, organize, implement, and control the
flow of goods, services, and related information from points of origin to points of consumption to meet customer requirements
at a profit (Kotler and Armstrong, 2013). It also addresses the following:

a. Outbound distribution- moving of products from manufacturer to the distributor to the retailers and finally to
consumer.
b. Inbound distribution- moving materials from suppliers to manufacturers

WHAT IS IT

No matter how great our product is, if people don’t know that your product exists, no one will buy it. That is the
reason why we see a lot of different ads and tactics of different companies and organizations about the product or services
they offer.

Companies and organizations are finding creative ways to reach their target markets. Whether customers are at
home, or outside, online or offline, companies have means of making them to stop, look and listen so they get their message
across. However, with the several tools, methods and channels available, the most important question that any organization
faces is:

What is the most effective way to inform and persuade our customers to make a purchase?

This is the of role of promotion as one of the 4 P’s of Marketing Mix.

What is promotion?

Promotions mix refers to the blend of several promotional tools used by the business to create, maintain and
increase the demand for goods and services.

There are five elements of Promotional Mix that companies and organizations are using:

Advertising is a paid form of non-personal communication in audio or visual form that promote products (goods,
services ideas, or places) to a specific audience. Mass media such as television, radio or newspapers and magazines are
common mediums and other alternative media techniques such as billboards, websites, and social media platforms, and
signages (posters, pamphlets, and leaflets).

Personal Selling connects company representatives with the consumer. These interactions can be in person, over
the phone and over email or chat. In retail stores, a salesperson is trained to make a sale, suggest options to assist the
customers and persuade them to make a purchase.

Sales Promotions are short term incentives created to encourage customers to purchase a product or service.
Example of sales promotions include product samples, consumer contests, buy 1 take 1 promos, sweepstakes, and raffles.
In supermarkets, sales promotions take in the form of special displays, product demo, or shelf talkers (small colorful
materials placed on the shelves to highlight a particular product). The picture above on the right corner is an example of a
shelf talker.

Public Relations build good relations with the company’s various public by creating positive image and addressing
unfavorable issues and events. Publicity and other non-paid communication such as support of the arts, charitable
donations, education scholarships and sporting events are some examples of public relations.

Direct Marketing is the direct communication with individuals via different channels to generate an action response
and build relationship. This involves telemarketing, customized letters, emails, and text messages. Home TV shopping,
kiosks and vending machines are also examples of direct marketing

WHAT’S NEW

If the company’s employees are evaluated based on their performance at work as a basis for a salary increase or
promotion, so should the marketing activities and programs be monitored and evaluated. This is done to know which
one’s work (so they can be used again) or which ones do not (so to avoid them). In doing so, marketers can avoid
committing the same mistakes again and focus on improving their brands and activities. This is the essence of the next
lesson.

WHAT IS IT

Companies need to focus not only on marketing their products or services, but as well as managing the marketing
efforts relating to company’s profitability. This calls for managing the Marketing Process. It involves identifying
opportunities, researching, and selecting target market, designing, and planning market strategies and program and
organizing, implementing, monitoring, and controlling the results.

Analyzing Marketing Opportunities

To identify and evaluate the opportunities and constraints, the company must understand first its position in the
market, its current situation, industry trends, and other factors that might affect the performance of the business. This is
called Marketing analysis. Situation analysis like SWOT Analysis (strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) and
other tools are helpful to analyze the company’s competitiveness.

Researching and Selecting Target Market


In selecting the target market, the company needs to know how to measure and forecast the attractiveness of any
given market. This requires estimating the market’s overall size, growth, and profitability. Factors like the size of the market,
purchasing power in terms of price, frequency and amount of purchase, preferences and other general usage habits are
important determinants in selecting the target market.

Designing Market Strategies


After selecting the target market, the company must select marketing strategies to employ. Marketing planning
requires the use of marketing strategies to attain company’s strategic objectives. Marketing strategies can be defined as
comprehensive programs of action involving the use of organizational resources to achieve marketing objectives. In the
previous lessons, we have discussed about the four marketing strategies; a. Market penetration; b. Market development; c.
Product development and d. Diversification.
In selecting marketing strategies, keep in mind that they must be aligned to the marketing objectives and within the
budget allocated made by the company executives.

Planning Marketing Programs


The planning of Marketing programs involves developing and implementing action plans or tactics under each
strategy. Action plans of tactics conventionally use marketing mix as foundation of implementation.
For instance, the following are some suggested activities or tactics suited for a chosen marketing strategy:

Separate budgets would be allocated to these marketing mix variables. There are limitless possible combinations
and budgetary allocations for each marketing variable. Whatever marketing programs will be choses, the success of it
depends on the proper selection of variable to be used and financial support extended to each variable.
In addition, companies are also using KRA (Key Result Areas), which are desired outcomes in terms that can be
quantified, KPI (Key Performance Indicators), which serves as the method for quantification and Targets, a definite
numerical figure and deadline that is given for accomplishment, to lead the marketing team about what is being
accomplished.

The following table is an example of KRAs, along with sample corresponding KPIs and Target, as adopted from
Illano, (2016), in his book entitled, Principles of Marketing:

Organizing, Implementing, and Controlling Marketing effort

A good marketing program by itself does not necessarily guarantee sustained success for an organization. The
business organization must be operated and structured in a manner that will ensure the time, effort and resources spent in
the preparation of good marketing programs are not wasted. This is done through Marketing Implementation which deals
with turning plans into actions in order to accomplish the company’s objectives and strategic goals.

Marketing department’s effectiveness depends not only on how it is structured but also on how well its personnel
are selected, trained, directed, motivated, and evaluated. People at all levels in the company must work together to
implement properly the strategic plans of the company.

In addition, adequate monitoring and control systems should be in place to ensure that marketing programs are
carried out. Marketing controls evaluate results of Marketing strategies and plans, and take corrective actions on a
monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual basis to ensure that objectives are attained. It involves the following steps:

1. Set specific marketing objectives


2. Measure performance in the marketplace.
3. Evaluate discrepancies between actual and expected performance if there is any.
4. Take corrective actions accordingly.
To measure the effectiveness of a marketing program, companies are using Return on Marketing Investment (Marketing
ROI). It is the net return on marketing investment divided by the cost of the marketing investment. It measures the profits
generated by the costs of implementing the marketing activities. The formula is as follows:

Marketing ROI= 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛 𝑜𝑛 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡


𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡

Solve for the Marketing ROI and interpret the meaning for the following situation:

activities.

Creating Your Presentation Materials

this, you will need to do the following for your PowerPoint presentation:

Department of Education • Republic of the Philippines


1. Create a visual story for your presentation. Use photos, graphs and word emphasis but do not overdo it. Avoid using
too many colors or too many photos at the same time as this might distract your audience. Remember that you are
convincing your audience about the company’s products so make sure that your work suits your goals.
2. Keep your presentation simple, neat, and professional. Avoid using smileys or any graphics that is not related on
your topic.
3. Use bullet points properly. Only keywords should be pointed out not the whole sentence or whole paragraph on the
slide. Use 7x7 rule: PowerPoint slide (or any other electronic slide) should have no more than seven lines of text
and no more than seven words in each of those lines.
4. Use the animation feature sparingly. Overdoing animations will make your audience nauseous and may take a long
time to finish (like those animations that pop the letters individually).
Delivering Your Presentations
1. Practice makes perfect! Make sure that you master your presentation. Do not memorize, as it will make the
presentation look artificial. Practice yourself in the mirror and visualize your audience and imagine yourself in front
of them.
