SolutionSolution Personal interview: this is a face-to-face interview,
conducted in the street or at a person’s home, where an interviewer asks a respondent questions.
Focus group: a small group of selected individuals are involved in discussions about an organisation’s product or service, led by a facilitator to provide qualitative information.
Telephone survey: individuals are telephoned at their home and asked specific questions by an interviewer.
Postal survey: questionnaires are sent through the post to selected individuals, but the response rate is very poor.
MA
RK
ET
ING
SolutionSolution Consumer audit: continuous market research is
carried out with a selected group of consumers who record their purchases in a diary. This is then analysed for trends by marketers.
Hall test: individuals are invited to try out a product and then give their opinion on it. These are collated and analysed.
Observation: customers’ actions and purchasing patterns are observed by trained staff, who look for consumer behavioural trends.
Test marketing: product is launched on a small area to gauge the consumers response. If successful the product can be mass produced.

BrandingBrandingA brand is a registered trademark of a company, including the name or logo that can only be used by that company.
Branding helps create USPs (unique selling points), and via advertising and creating a positive, desirable image, build brand loyalty.
Brands promote an image of high quality, which means a premium price can be charged.

MA
RK

SolutionSolutionProducts in the brand range are instantly
recognisable and are uniquely different from other products.
Brand loyalty can be built up, which can lead to repeat purchases.
Brand is perceived to be of high quality, which can mean premium prices can be charged.
Makes it easier to launch new products onto the market as there is already a brand family of products.
Brand names can be expensive to build up as it takes time to achieve their reputation.
Bad publicity can affect the whole brand, which can ruin the brand’s reputation overnight.
Imitator and fake products are common, which can damage sales in the long run.

Advantages of own brandsAdvantages of own brands
• Own brands will attract more customers and more sales within the store.

disadvantages of selling own brands.(4 marks) 2008
8 minutes
MA
RK
ET
ING
SolutionSolution Own labels require very little advertising as customers will
be normally be regular shoppers. The retailer does not need to produce the own-brand
products as they can buy them from manufacturers and re-label them.
A range of products with own labels can be sold because a brand family is established.
Some own brands can be seen as value for money and a quality product when customers look for good deals.
Own labels are cheaper to customers as the price is always lower than that of regular brands.
Whole brands can be tarnished over one product’s failure or problem. This can ruin reputation overnight.
Run the risk of imitator brands, which can damage sales.

Low price – Price lower than competitors. Only appropriate where there is a little brand loyalty and competition in the market is high.
Market price – Setting price at a similar price to competitors. Homogeneous product means that price competition is not of benefit. They compete in other areas, eg service.
High price – High-quality products, premium goods and services where image is important, such as perfumes.

Short-term pricing strategiesShort-term pricing strategies
Destroyer pricing – An illegal pricing tactic used to eliminate competition where a ridiculously low price is charged (sometimes at a loss) to smash competitors. Once market share is achieved, prices soar. Promotional pricing – A short-term strategy to gain media attention and renew consumer interest, eg BOGOF or loss-leader tactics. Demand-oriented pricing – When different prices are charged at different times for the same good/service based on high demand or lack of demand.

SolutionSolutionHigh price – price is set higher than competitors to
give the image of quality and exclusiveness.
Low price – price is set lower than competitors to attract customers to their product/service.
Skimming – price is set high initially, when no competition exists. When competitors enter the market, price is lowered to market price.
Market/competitive pricing – price is set at the same level as competitors, normally used for products that are identical.

Solution (cont’d)Solution (cont’d) Penetration pricing – price is set slightly lower than competitors to
attract customers; once a customer base is established, the price is slowly increased to same as competitors
Promotional pricing – a low price is set for a short period of time to boost sales in the short term, possibly even making a loss on the product. This is often used by supermarkets to attract customers.
Destroyer pricing – price is set very low compared to competitors and once there is no competition in the market the price is then put back up to the previous level or higher. This is mainly used by larger organisations to destroy competition, as you must have large reserves to sustain this tactic over any length of time.
Cost-plus pricing – is the cost of buying in the materials with a mark-up added on.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages to a manufacturer of using a wholesaler.(5 marks) 2008

MA

SolutionSolutionAdvantages Saves on a number of smaller deliveries as retailers will buy in
bulk. Less money tied up in stock as the wholesaler stores the
materials. Wholesalers may label the product for the retailer, saving costs. Wholesalers break product down into smaller more saleable
sizes that can be packaged and sold by the retailer. Wholesalers can give market research direct to manufacturer,
which may affect future buying decisions.
Disadvantages Loss of control of how the product is presented because it is
normally packaged already. Lower profits as wholesaler, as intermediaries, take their cut.

MerchandisingMerchandising
• Merchandising involves making sure a firm’s products are laid out in the most enticing or attractive way possible to customers.
• Special displays, stands or posters may be given to retailers to help point-of-sale advertising.
• ‘Eye level is buy level’, for example when a new DVD comes into the local supermarket expect giant posters and cardboard cut-outs of the characters to be emblazoned around the store!

Packaging Packaging
The ‘cover’ or packaging of the product can also generate sales.
Design – the colour scheme should help make the product stand out from rivals.
Protection – is the packaging appropriate to ensure it doesn’t get damaged during distribution or when being taken home by the customer?
Information – most products sold in supermarkets have to carry labels with information on their content or to indicate if they pass the BSI quality standard.
