CHAPTER 1: MARKETING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE
1.1 What is Marketing?

Understand and meet customer needs to create value

DEF: Marketing is a social and managerial process by which individuals and groups
obtain what they need and want through creating and exchanging products and values
with others. → marketers should engage in marketing research, environmental
scanning, to anticipate customers needs

In business context: To build and maintain profitable relationships with stakeholders

B to C: buisines to consumer

C to C: consumer to consumer



! PERCEPTION and change on how consumers perceive your products!

• Why relevant?
1. Physical products
2. Services p.ex. tui, google, netflix
3. Retail : only sell to consumers p.ex. Zara
4. Experiences p.ex: Pairi daiza
5. Events p.ex: tomorrowland
6. Film, music theater
7. Places
8. Ideas p.ex: BOB
9. Charity and non-profit
10. People p.ex.: the kardashians

--> Apllies everywhere the buyers have a choice

1.2 What is the difference between customers and consumers?

,CUSTOMER: person who buys the product, purchases or obtains an offering

CONSUMER: person who uses it (or eats it)

p.ex: my dad paid the enrollment fees to study here, but i make use of it, that means
that i am the consumer and my dad the customer




P.ex. Different buying roles ice spice, directed at women but product is for the man



1.3. Market orientation

DEF: “The organization-wide generation of market intelligence pertaining to current and
future customer needs, dissemination of the intelligence across the departments, and
organization-wide responsiveness to it” (Kohli and Jaworski, 1990: 6).

--> de organisatiebrede informatie over de behoeften van de huidige en toekomstige
behoeften van de klanten, en de verspreding hiervan binnen de organisatie en de
reactie die daar op komt

▪ Organization-wide belief in delivering customer value

▪ Create products to meet existing and latent needs

- As marketeers we need to find what people don’t know they need yet

,- customer orientation: customer oriented, company adapts to changing needs of the
customer on a continious basis

- Competitor orientation: understand the strenghts and weaknesses of the
competitor and adapt , also know their own long- term capabilities
- Interfunctional coordination: think about the customer needs first , working
together within the company for long-term profit growth

--> long lasting relationships !

1.5. Differences between sales and marketing

Sales: product push, short term focus on satisfaction of customers needs, making
people buy

Marketing: product pull, long term focus on satisfaction of customers needs, high focus
on stimulation of demand, brand meaning, highlighting the advantages, stoking
demand (vraag doen stijgen)

, Customer satisfaction : expectation management, put the expectation right, don’t
overpromise

Acquisition vs retention

When you require people , marketing finds it important to do retention

--> doet meer aan het behouden van klanten, na het al ‘hebben’ van klanten --> het kost
meer om er nieuwe aan te werven dan om ze te behouden (mensen zijn al overtuigd van
het product)

Metaphore:

TIP OF THE ICEBERG: what consumers see is only a fraction of the brand p.ex: final
design, sales promotion

Under the surface p.ex.: pricing, underlining costs, product conception

SUPERFLUOUS: overbodig

1.6 What do marketers do?

Customer in the center of a company’s operations and decision making process

--> generate customer insights

--> develop marketing strategy
