MARKETING
Introduction
Two major factors of marketing are the recruitment of new customers (acquisition) and the
retention and expansion of relationships with existing customers (base management). Once
a marketer has converted the prospective buyer, base management marketing takes over.
The process for base management shifts the marketer to building a relationship, nurturing
the links, enhancing the benefits that sold the buyer in the first place, and improving the
product/service continuously to protect the business from competitive encroachments.
For a marketing plan to be successful, the mix of the four "Ps" must reflect the wants and
desires of the consumers in the target market. Trying to convince a market segment to buy
something they don't want is extremely expensive and seldom successful. Marketers depend
on marketing research, both formal and informal, to determine what consumers want and
what they are willing to pay for it.
In the early 1960's, Professor Neil Borden at Harvard Business School identified a number of
company performance actions that can influence the consumer decision to purchase goods
or services. Borden suggested that all those actions of the company represented a
“Marketing Mix”. Professor E. Jerome McCarthy, also at the Harvard Business School in the
early 1960s, suggested that the Marketing Mix contained 4 elements: product, price, place
and promotion. The four Ps are:
● Product: The product aspects of marketing deal with the specifications of the actual
goods or services, and how it relates to the end-user's needs and wants. The scope
of a product generally includes supporting elements such as warranties, guarantees,
and support.
● Price: This refers to the process of setting a price for a product, including discounts.
The price doesn´t need to be monetary - it can simply be what is exchanged for the
product or services, e.g. time, energy, psychology or attention.
● Promotion: This includes advertising, sales promotion, publicity, and personal
selling, and refers to the various methods of promoting the product, brand, or
company.
● Place: (or distribution): refers to how the product gets to the customer; for example,
point of sale placement or retailing. This fourth P has sometimes been called Place,
referring to the channel by which a product or services is sold (e.g. online vs. retail),
which geographic region or industry, to which segment (young adults, families,
business people), etc.
Marketing methods are informed by many of the social sciences, particularly psychology,
sociology, and economics. Anthropology is also a small, but growing influence. Market
research underpins these activities. Through advertising, it is also related to many of the
creative arts.
DESARROLLO
El texto elegido trata sobre el marketing, este es un proceso social necesario para
discernir los deseos de los consumidores, enfocándose en un producto o servicio para
esos deseos. El marketing es fundamental para el crecimiento de cualquier negocio.
El marketing tiende a verse como una industria creativa, que incluye publicidad,
distribución y venta. También se ocupa de anticipar las necesidades y deseos futuros de
los clientes, a menudo a través de estudios de mercado. Según la Asociación de
Marketing Americana, el Marketing es el proceso de planificar y ejecutar la concepción,
fijación de precios, promoción y distribución de ideas, bienes y servicios para crear
intercambios que satisfagan los objetivos individuales y organizacionales.
Para que un plan de marketing tenga éxito, la combinación de las cuatro "P" debe
reflejar las necesidades y los deseos de los consumidores en el mercado objetivo.
Tratar de convencer a un segmento de mercado para que compre algo que no quiere es
extremadamente caro y pocas veces tiene éxito. Los especialistas en marketing
dependen de la investigación de mercados, tanto formal como informal, para determinar
qué quieren los consumidores y qué están dispuestos a pagar por ello.
