Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,4, Dr. Buhmann Schule gemeinnützige GmbH, language: English, abstract: A business' success lies in its marketing. Successful marketing in particular focuses on reaching the target group and tries to satisfy their needs. Customers have become more discerning, especially as the internet and social media have had a dramatic impact on the types of marketing activities that are the most effective. Customers can access information very easily and compare companies. Therefore they have the power and can easily walk away if they do not like the companies product, the result is they now determine most of the markets. Therefore, successful marketing involves everything that an organization has to make happen if customers are to be satisfied with their products. For this to be done effectively and in target-oriented way, an organization has, therefore, to discover and access customer needs, design products and services which are likely to be bought by the customers. Then these products have to be promoted and of course delivered. Marketers try to implement a feeling in consumers to fulfill unfelt needs. For this reason the most important aspect is to correspond with customers directly. A company should never just assume that they know the customers' desires.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Develop a successful strategy for segmenting high-tech and industrial markets! Whether it's due to a lack of focus, lack of time, or just bad planning, most companies fall short of the mark in their target marketing. The Handbook of Market Segmentation, 3rd Edition: Strategic Target Marketing for Business and Technology Firms is a practical, how-to guide to what marketers need to know about defining, segmenting, and targeting business markets: assessing customer needs; gauging the competition; designing winning strategies; and maximizing corporate resources. The latest edition of this marketing classic combines content and features from the previous editions with an emphasis on successful practices in business-to-business and high-tech segmentation. This valuable research source puts the latest thinking from the business and academic communities at your fingertips. From the author: The most important thing I’ve learned from working in market segmentation research and strategy for more than 15 years is that few companies get the most from their target marketing. Their top executives advocate the need to be market- or customer-oriented but base their marketing plans on cursory, incomplete, or emotional analyses. They end up with ’fuzzy’ business missions, unclear objectives, information that isn’t decision-oriented, unfocused promotional strategies, and no real plan to attack niche markets. This happens because they haven’t developed an effective strategy for segmenting high-tech and industrial markets. They don’t have a process that introduces and improves their business segmentation planning and execution. What they need is a handbook for improving their organization’s performance in new and existing business markets. Handbook of Market Segmentation, Third Edition: Strategic Target Marketing for Business and Technology Firm is a state-of-the-art guide to market identification, analysis, selection, and strategy. The book is organized into four parts (segmentation planning, business segmentation bases, implementing segmentation strategy, segmentation strategy cases) and includes applications, case studies, checklists, figures, and tables. Each chapter features a Segmentation Skillbuilder (a field-tested exercise that improves your working knowledge of key business-to-business segmentation topics) and a Business Segmentation Insight (an in-depth look at a key segmentation issue). Handbook of Market Segmentation, Third Edition: Strategic Target Marketing for Business and Technology Firms examines: how to conduct effective, cost-efficient, and profitable segmentation studies segmentation options such as differentiation and niche marketing defining business markets a 10-point program for segmenting business markets (planning and research) business segmentation bases (geographics, firmographics, benefits, usage, purchasing behavior) how North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) has replaced SIC analysis criteria for choosing target markets implementing segmentation in business organizations how to conduct (and benefit from) a segmentation audit detailed segmentation studies on six companies—Collins Aviation Services, Dev-Soft, Dow Corning, Lexmark International, Pharmacia Corporation, and Sportmed and much more!

This book was released on 2018-08-27 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case Study from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, Dr. Buhmann Schule gemeinnützige GmbH, language: English, abstract: In their daily life coffee is mostly indispensable for people nowadays. Already in the 1980’s in the UK coffee was very popular and well known, even though the English preferred drinking tea. As coffee consumption increased the demand for complementary products like coffee creamers increased also. As coffee creamers gained popularity in the UK Coffee-Mate, Nestlé’s brand of coffee creamer, was faced with the problem that its market was still relatively small with a variety of competitors manufacturing substitutes, e.g. cream and other brands of coffee whitener. Being confronted with this and a decreasing advertising budget the managers of Coffee-Mate were forced to look for new consumers in an attempt to increase sales. As a first step, they did a survey, to get to know their potential customers better and to have a better general overview of the target market. Because the competition in the coffee creamer sector is relatively strong, it was essential that Coffee-Mate created a strategy with the aim of strengthening their position in the coffee creamer market in Great Britain and surpass their competitors. To clarify the next steps for the company, it is the aim of this Case Study to investigate and evaluate the segments of the Coffee-Mate in terms of finding a proper recommendation for an effective strategy that Coffee-Mate could use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Businesses may not be in a position to satisfy all of their customers, every time. It may prove difficult to meet the exact requirements of each individual customer. People do not have identical preferences, so rarely does one product completely satisfy everyone. Therefore, many companies may usually adopt a strategy that is known as target marketing. This strategy involves dividing the market into segments and developing products or services to these segments. A target marketing strategy is focused on the customers' needs and wants. Hence, a prerequisite for the development of this customer-centric strategy is the specification of the target markets that the companies will attempt to serve. The marketing managers who may consider using target marketing will usually break the market down into groups (segments). Then they target the most profitable ones. They may adapt their marketing mix elements, including; products, prices, channels, and promotional tactics to suit the requirements of individual groups of consumers. In sum, this chapter explains the three stages of target marketing, including; market segmentation (ii) market targeting and (iii) market positioning.
