Marketing myopia
When Does Marketing Myopia Strike In?
•Marketing myopia strikes in when the short term marketing
goals are given more importance than the long term goals.
Some examples are:
1.More focus on selling rather than building relationships
with the customers.
2.Predicting growth without conducting proper research.
3.Mass production without knowing the demand.
4.Giving importance to just one aspect of the marketing
attributes without focusing on what the customer actually
wants.
5.Not changing with the dynamic consumer environment.
