WHAT IS A MARKET?
____________________________
Relationship Marketing refers to “long-term, mutually beneficial arrangements in which both the
buyer and seller focus on value enhancement through the creation of more satisfying exchanges,
Relationship Marketing strives to build satisfying exchange relationships between buyers and sellers
by gathering useful data at all customer contact point and analyzing that data to better understand
customers’ needs, desires and habits.
The given action is traditionally a purchase, but could be a sign-up, a vote or a visit, while the cost
refers to anything a customer must forfeit in order to receive the desired benefit, such as money, data,
time, knowledge
In other words, for a given set of benefits, as the cost rises, the perceived value drops.
This is an important point. Value does not refer to price. It refers to the perceived benefits stood to be
gained in the context of price. Cost is only part of the equation. Literally.
.
Two identical products with identical exposure can only compete on cost. Two differentiated products
do not have to compete on cost. Products are not just differentiated by their features. They can also be
differentiated because of their brand. If Toyota brings out a car, you may presume it’s reliable because
one of its key brand features is reliability. If another carmaker releases a near-identical car, they may
struggle to compete because they do not share the same customer perceptions.
The perceived value of your latest blog post can be measured by the reader’s perceived benefit of
reading the content (e.g. learning) relative to the time it took for them to gain that benefit.
The Drivers of Value These are drivers that impact a customer’s perception of value.
Some you can control, some you cannot. For any individual
Product function
customer they will rank differently in importance. Some people
Points of differentiation love brands. Some people only buy cheap. Some favor short form
Quality content. Some people treasure personal relationships.
Service
Marketing The fragmentation of customer value is one of the primary reasons
Branding for segmentation. By identifying groups of people with shared
Price values you can start to create products and messages that resonate.
Existing relationships or experience
Personal bias from experience and upbringing
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) focuses on using information about customers to create
marketing strategies that develop and sustain desirable customer relationships.
Marketing relationships with customers are the lifeblood of all businesses. At the most basic level, profits
can be obtained through relationships in the following ways: 1) by acquiring new customers, 2) by enhancing
the profitability of existing customers, and 3). by extending the duration of customer relationships. In
addition to retaining customers, companies also should focus on regaining and managing relationships with
customers who have abandoned the firm. Implementing the marketing concept means optimizing the
exchange relationship, otherwise known as the relationship between a company’s financial investment in
customer relationships and the return generated by customer’s loyalty and retention.
Market Segmentation
What Is Market Segmentation?
Market segmentation is the process of dividing a target market into smaller, more defined
categories. It segments customers and audiences into groups that share similar
characteristics such as demographics, interests, needs, or location.
Where the above examples are helpful for segmenting B2C audiences, a business might use the
following to classify a B2B audience:
Company size Industry Job function
Because demographic information is statistical and factual, it is usually relatively easy to uncover using
various sites for market research.
. Psychographic Market Segmentation

audiences and customers by factors that Values
