Why Study Marketing?
Marketing is important to our society25 to 33 percent of all U.S. civilian workers
perform marketing activities. 50% of total cost of a productConsumers need to understand costs and
benefits of marketing activitiesYou either work in Marketing or
your work is affected by Marketing“Do lunch or be lunch.”
“Marketing is the Basis for any Business”
Peter Drucker“Every organization has two—and only these two—
basic functions: Marketing and Innovation.”
Drucker believed that “marketing” and “selling” are completely different. “The aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous,”
Drucker wrote. “The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service sells itself.”
Drucker also taught that every product only lives for so long before becoming obsolete. That’s where innovation—”change that creates a new
dimension of performance”—comes in.
What is Marketing?According to P.T. Barnum
If the circus is coming to town and you paint a sign saying "Circus Coming to the Fairground Saturday," that's advertising.
If you put the sign on the back of an elephant and walk it into town, that's promotion.
If the elephant walks through the mayor's flower bed, that's publicity.
And if you get the mayor to laugh about it, that's public relations.
If the town's citizens go to the circus, you show them the many entertainment booths, explain how much fun they'll have spending money at the booths, answer their questions and ultimately, they spend a lot at the circus, that's sales. ” 22

Case Questions
Video Case 1.1How has Method implemented its
Marketing Concept?
Although Method products are chemical-free and made with natural, safe ingredients, they have not gone the marketing route of other organic companies. Method distributes its products through mass market
chains such as Target and Lowe’s. Method appeals to a broader target audience, those
people who want effective, affordable products in attractive packaging—yet at the same time it is demonstrating to this larger audience how well green products can work.
Method hopes to hook people with their great products, and then educate them about the importance of buying all-natural.
The company has embraced the marketing concept and its target market is increasingly receptive to a green marketing strategy.
Video Case 1.1Why is Method successful in a highly
competitive industry?
1. Method has been able to differentiate itself through its standout packaging, great scents, and eco-friendly products at affordable prices.
2. As with any successful company, Method has also had to be highly innovative. 1. Ahead of the curve in developing new kinds of
cleaning products – Developed triple-concentrated laundry detergent long before major companies began doing so.
2. Evaluates competitive products on the market already and continually works on making their own brand’s versions more eco-friendly - Dryer sheets and the Omop.
Video Case 1.1Does the success of Method provide insight
about the future of green marketing?Clever marketing and competitive pricing may, in
the long run, be one of the best ways to help the environment.
It is also important to reach a mass audience - not enough to merely appeal to the small group of hardcore environmentalists.
Today’s Market:Almost a fifth of the market prefers organic or green
products and is willing to pay higher prices. Another 40% of the market is willing to buy green products
if they are convenient and almost similar in price to conventional products.
Method offers products to both of these segments of the market by giving them green products with prices only slightly higher than conventional ones.

In many organizations, marketing is not given a place of importance in the organizational hierarchy. Why do you think this happens? What are the consequences for a firm that gives
little importance to marketing relative to other business functions?
Discussion QuestionDiscussion Question
End of Chapter Questions
1. What is marketing? How did you define the term before you read this chapter?
The text defines marketing as the process of creating, distributing, promoting, and pricing goods, services, and ideas to facilitate satisfying exchange relationships with customers in a dynamic environment.
End of Chapter Questions
2. What is the focus of all marketing activities? Why?
Customers are the focal point of all marketing activities because they are the purchasers of the products which organizations develop, promote, distribute, and price.
End of Chapter Questions
3. What are the four variables of the marketing mix? Why are these elements known as variables?
The marketing mix is the combination of activities that are planned, organized, implemented, and controlled to meet the needs of customers within the target market. These activities are product, distribution, promotion, and price. They are called variables because marketing managers decide what type of each element to use and to what degree.
End of Chapter Questions
5. What are the forces in the marketing environment? How much control does a marketing manager have over these forces?
The marketing environment, which surrounds both customers and the marketing mix, includes competitive, economic, political, legal and regulatory, technological, and socio-cultural forces. Marketers have little control of these environmental forces, but they must be aware of them, adapt to them, and capitalize on the opportunities they provide.
End of Chapter Questions
7. How can an organization implement the marketing concept?
To implement the marketing concept, a marketing organization must first establish an information system to discover customers’ real needs and then use the information to create satisfying products. The organization must also coordinate all its activities.
End of Chapter Questions
8. What is customer relationship management? Why is it so important to “manage” this relationship?
Customer relationship management focuses on using information about customers to create marketing strategies which develop and sustain desirable customer relationships. “Managing” customer relationships is important to marketers because it can foster customer loyalty and thereby increase long-term profitability. A loyal lifelong customer can be worth a considerable sum of money, so the loss of such customers can result in lower profits.
End of Chapter Questions
9. What is value? How can marketers use the marketing mix to enhance customers’ perception of value?
The text defines value as a customer’s subjective assessment of benefits relative to costs in determining the worth of a product. Examples of ways marketers can modify their marketing mixes to enhance perceptions of value include offering product features or enhancements which provide desirable consumer benefits, using promotion to create positive image or prestigious characteristics which consumers consider in value assessment, pricing products according to how consumer use, and offering convenient distribution outlets.
End of Chapter Questions10. What types of activities are involved in
the marketing management process?Marketing management is the process of planning,
organizing, implementing, and controlling marketing activities to facilitate effective and efficient exchanges. Planning is the systematic process for assessing
opportunities and resources, determining marketing objectives, and strategizing implementation and control.
The organization of marketing activities requires the development of marketing unit internal structures.
Implementation requires coordinating marketing activities, motivating marketing personnel, and effectively communicating within the marketing unit.
The marketing control process includes the establishment of performance standards, comparison of actual performance with established standards, and reduction of the gap between desired and actual performance.
End of Chapter Questions 11. Why is marketing important in our society? Why
should you study marketing?Marketing provides employment for many people
and helps sell products. This, in turn, generates profits essential to the survival of individual businesses as well as to the health and ultimate survival of the global economy. Many organizations other than businesses use marketing
activities and approximately 25 to 33 percent of all U.S. civilian workers perform marketing activities.
Marketing costs consume a sizable portion of buyers’ dollars, and knowledge about how money is used helps consumers understand products costs. The study of marketing activities also enables consumers to
weigh the costs and benefits of marketing activities and to evaluate laws, regulations, and industry guidelines intended to stop unfair, misleading, and unethical marketing practices.
