Negative Demand
Dema
A major part of the market dislikes the
product and may even pay a price to
avoid it - Vaccinations, Dental work,
Blood donations and Operations, for
instance.

- Marketer’s task is to analyze why is it

happening and needs to offer
marketing programs like – product
redesign, lower prices and positive
promotions that can change the
attitude. Make it into their likings, etc.
Demand and Demand States
Nonexistent Demand
Target consumers may be unaware of or uninterested in the
product. Farmers may not be interested in a new farming
method, and college students may not be interested in
foreign-language courses.
Eg. Insurance policy,
New idea/ technology etc.

Marketer’s task is to find out

ways to connect the benefits
of the product with the
person’s natural needs and
interests.
Demand and Demand States

Latent Demand

Many consumers may share a strong

need that cannot be satisfied by any
existing product. Eg. Web portal for
the Tourism Industry of Bangladesh,
Medicine for Cancer.

Marketer’s task is to measure the

size of the potential market and
develop a product / service to fulfill
this need.
 Demand and Demand States

Declining Demand
Consumers begin to buy the products
less frequently or not at all. Every
organization faces declining demand
for one or more of its products or
services. E.g. Type writer compared to
Computer.

The Marketer must analyze the reason

for decline and must find a way (which
can be redesigning the product or
service or even offering a completely
new product or service) to reverse the
declining demand.
Demand and Demand States
Irregular Demand
Consumers purchases vary on a
seasonal, monthly, weekly, daily or
even hourly basis. Many organizations
face demand causing problems of idle or
overworked capacity. E.g. – Cold drinks
companies, ice cream manufacturers,
Water Kingdom during the Winter
Season. Umbrella, Raincoats, etc.

Marketing task called as Synchro-

marketing, is to find ways to alter the
pattern of demand through flexible
pricing, promotion, and other
incentives.
 Demand and Demand States
Full Demand
Consumers are adequately buying
all the products put in the
marketplace. Organization faces
full demand when they are
pleased with their volume of
business. E.g. Cell phones –
Nokia/ Samsung.

current level of demand in the
face of changing consumer
preferences and increasing
competition. The organization
must maintain or improve quality
and continually measure
Demand and Demand States

Overfull Demand
More consumers would like to buy
the product that can be satisfied.
Some organization face a demand
level that is higher than they can or
want to handle. Eg. Utilities services
in Bangladesh.

Marketing task called De-marketing

(Which includes raising prices or
stopping sales promotion) is
sometimes required for these
organizations. Selective de-marketing
can also be done the aim of which is
to reduce demand for those parts of
the market which are less profitable
or less in need of the product or
service.
 Demand and Demand States

Unwholesome Demand

Sometimes consumers may be

attracted to products that have
undesirable social consequences.
Eg. Cigarettes, Alcohol, Hard drugs.

The marketing task is to get people

who like something to give up,
using such tools as spreading fear
message, price hikes, and reduced
availability.

goods & services in different
places outside the national

their communications to fit
different cultures.

Nonprofit & Government
Markets
Companies selling their goods to
nonprofit organizations/ institutions
such as mosques, churches, temples,
charitable organizations, NGOs and
government agencies need to price
carefully, because these buyers have
limited purchasing power.

and the buyers often favor the lowest
bid in the absence of justifying
