The Marketing Concept
The marketing concept is based on the importance of customers to a firm and states that:
All company policies and activities should be aimed at satisfying customer needs
Profitable sales volume is a better company goal than maximum sales volume.
To use the marketing concept, businesses should:
Determine the needs of their customers (Market Research);
Analyze their competitive advantages (Market Strategy);
Select specific markets to serve (Target Marketing), and;
Determine methods how to satisfy those needs (Marketing Mix).
Market Research
In order to manage the marketing function successfully, good information about the market is necessary. Frequently, a small market research program, based on a questionnaire given to present customers and/or prospective customers, can disclose problems and areas of dissatisfaction that can be easily remedied, or new products or services that could be offered successfully.
Marketing Strategy
Marketing strategy consists of identifying customer groups (Target Marketing), which a small business can serve better than its larger competitors, and tailoring its product offerings, prices, distribution, promotional efforts and services towards that particular market segment (Managing the Marketing Mix). A good strategy implies that a business cannot be all things to all people and must analyze its markets and its own capabilities so as to focus on a target market it can serve best.
Target Marketing
Owners of small businesses have limited resources to spend on marketing activities. Concentrating their marketing efforts on one or a few key market segments is the basis of target marketing. The major ways to segment a market are:
Geographical segmentation - developing a loyal group of consumers in the home geographical territory before expanding into new territories.
Product segmentation - extensively promoting existing best-selling products and services before introducing a lot of new products.
Customer segmentation - identifying and promoting to those groups of people most likely to buy the product. In other words, selling to heavy users before trying to develop new users.
Managing the Marketing Mix
There are four key marketing decision areas in a marketing program. They are:
Products and Services,
Promotion,
Place (Distribution), and
Pricing.
The marketing mix is used to describe how owner-managers combine these four areas into an overall marketing program.
Products and Services
Effective product strategies for a marketing manager may include concentrating on a narrow product line, developing a highly specialized product containing an unusual amount of service.
Promotion
This marketing decision area includes advertising, salesmanship and other promotional activities. In general, high quality salesmanship is necessary for small businesses due to their limited ability to advertise heavily. Good yellow-page advertising is widely used by small retailers. Direct mail is an effective, low-cost medium of advertising available to small businesses.
Price
Determining price levels and/or pricing policies (including credit policy) is the major factor affecting total revenue. Generally, higher prices mean volume of trade and vice-versa, however, small businesses can often command higher prices due to the personalized service they can offer.
Distribution
The manufacturer and wholesaler must decide how to distribute their products. Working through established distributors or manufacturers' agents generally is most feasible for small manufacturers. Retailers should consider cost and traffic flow as two major factors in location site selection. In other words, low cost, low traffic location means you must spend more on advertising to build traffic.
