• Every organization must perform marketing functions, not just for-profit companies.

• Nonprofits (colleges, hospitals, churches, etc.) also must perform marketing.

• Most people think of marketing as selling and advertising – “telling and selling.”

• Marketing must focus on satisfying customer needs.

• In the first four steps, companies work to understand consumers, create


customer value, and build strong customer relationships

Five core customer and marketplace


concept are critical:

(1) needs, wants, and demands; (2) marketing

Customer Needs, Wants, and Demands

• The most basic concept underlying marketing is that of human needs.

• Human needs are states of felt deprivation. They include physical, social,
and individual needs. These needs were not created by marketers; they are a
basic part of the human makeup.

1-9

Customer Needs, Wants, and Demands

• Wants are the form human needs take as they are shaped by culture
and individual personality. An American needs food but wants a Big
Mac.

• When backed by buying power, wants become demands.

• The best marketing companies go to great lengths to learn and


understand their customers’ needs, wants, and demands.

Understanding the Marketplace and


Customer Needs
• Market offerings are some combination of
products, services, information, or experiences
offered to a market to satisfy a need or want

• Marketing myopia is focusing only on existing


wants and losing sight of underlying consumer
needs

1-11
Learn Different Next Gen Education

• Needs and wants are fulfilled through market offerings – some


combination of products, services, information, or experiences offered to a
market to satisfy a need or want.

• Market offerings include products and services – activities or benefits


offered for sale that are essentially intangible and do not result in the
ownership of anything.

• Marketing myopia occurs when a company becomes so taken with their


own products that they lose sight of underlying customer needs.

others.

• Customers value and customers satisfaction are key building blocks for
developing and managing customer relationships.

Selecting Customers to Serve


• A company must decide whom it will serve.

• It does this by dividing the market into segments of customers (market segmentation) and
selecting which segments it will go after (target marketing).

• Marketing managers know they cannot serve all customers. By trying to do so, they end up not
serving any well.

• Marketing managers must decide which customers they want to target and on which level,
timing, and nature of their demand.

• Marketing management is customer management and demand management.

• The concept is typically practiced with unsought goods – those that


buyers do not normally think of buying, such as insurance or blood
donations.

delivering the desired satisfaction better than
competitors do

1-30

• Under the marketing concept, customers focus and value are the
paths to sales and profits.

• Rather than a “make and sell” philosophy, it is a customer-centered


“sense and respond” philosophy.

• The job is not to find the right customers for your product but to find
the right products for your customers.

1-31

• Customer-driven companies research current customers deeply to learn


about their desires, gather new product and service ideas, and test
proposed product improvements.

• Customer-driven marketing is understanding customer needs even


better than customers themselves do and creating products and services
that meet existing and latent needs.

interests

• The societal marketing concept questions whether the pure marketing


concept overlooks possible conflicts between consumer short‑run
wants and consumer long‑run welfare.

• The societal marketing concept holds that marketing strategy should


deliver value to customers in a way that maintains or improves both
the consumer’s and society’s well‑being.

company will serve and how it will create value for these customers.

• Next, the marketer develops an integrated marketing program that will


actually deliver the intended value to target customers.

• The marketing program consists of the firm’s marketing mix, the set of
marketing tools the firm uses to implement its marketing strategy.

1-41
Learn Different Next Gen Education

• The key to building lasting customer relationships is to create superior


customer value and satisfaction.

Customer Value

• Customer-perceived value is the customer’s evaluation of the difference


between all the benefits and all the costs of a market offering relative to those
of competing offers.

• Customers often do not judge values and costs “accurately” or “objectively.”


Instead, customers act on perceived value.

1-42
Learn Different Next Gen Education

• Customer Satisfaction

• Customer satisfaction depends on the product’s perceived performance


relative to a buyer’s expectations.

• If the product’s performance falls short of expectations, the customer is


dissatisfied. If performance matches expectations, the customer is satisfied.
If performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly satisfied or
delighted.

1-43
Learn Different Next Gen Education

• Although the customer-centered firm seeks to deliver high customer


satisfaction relative to competitors, it does not attempt to maximize
customer satisfaction.

• A company can always increase customer satisfaction by lowering its


price or increasing its services. But this may result in lower profits.

• The purpose of marketing is to generate customer value profitably.

CAPTURING VALUE FROM


CUSTOMERS
•  The first four steps in the marketing process involve building
customer relationships. The final step involves capturing value in

patronage

Creating Customer Loyalty and Retention


• The aim of customer relationship management (CRM) is to create not just customer
satisfaction, but customer delight.

• This means that companies must aim high in building customer relationships.

• Customer delight creates an emotional relationship with a product or service, not just a
rational preference.

• Companies are realizing that losing a customer means losing more than a single sale. It
means losing customer lifetime value.

Learn Different Next Gen Education

Building Customer Equity


• Companies want not only to create profitable customers, but to “own” them for life,
capture their customer lifetime value, and earn a greater share of their purchases.

What is Customer Equity


• Customer equity is the total combined customer lifetime values of all of the
company’s current and potential customers.

• Clearly, the more loyal the firm’s profitable customers, the higher the firm’s
customer equity.

• Customer equity may be a better measure of a firm’s performance than current


sales or market share.
