Assignment title Marketing The Heart Of Every Organisation?
Introduction
Marketing is at the heart of every organisation’s activity. Its importance is also growing in the non-
commercial, public and voluntary sectors. Also, at the heart of marketing is the customer. This unit
will introduce learners to some of the tools and techniques all types of organisations use to achieve
their objectives.
Firstly, you will explore how different types of organisations use marketing principles to meet the
needs of their customers and achieve their objectives. The constraints under which organisations
operate are important and you will study the legal requirements and voluntary codes that affect
marketing.
You will then go on to investigate how organisations collect data through market research and turn it
into useful information which can be analysed and used to plan their marketing activities. The
segmentation and targeting of groups of customers is a key marketing technique and this is studied
in detail. This includes the different bases for segmentation of both consumer and business markets.
Next, you will examine how a marketing mix is developed to meet the needs and aspirations of a
targeted group of prospective customers, before going on to develop a marketing mix for a new
product or service.
The unit gives you a brief overview of the principles of marketing or can be used as a basis for
further study of specialist marketing units.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this unit you should:
1 Know the role of marketing in organisations.
2 Be able to use marketing research and marketing planning.
3 Understand how and why customer groups are targeted.

organisations’ corporate objectives and their marketing objectives as well as their growth or survival
strategies, branding and approach to relationship marketing.

Describe how marketing techniques are used to market products in two
organisations.
, Marketing
In P1 I will use Philips and Shell as my two organisations, and I will explain how
these two company’s use their 4P’s and what strategies they use
Philips:
Because Philips has a lot of competitors like LG, Samsung, Sony Etc, they have
to stand out. They do this by using other strategies and using the 4P’s in a
different way than the competitors do. Philips uses their first P (price) by
delivering higher quality products for almost the same price than the others do
with the same products, this makes the people spending a bit more on better
products to be sure they have a good quality product. Philips also sells products
for a high price if other company’s like LG, Samsung and Sony don’t have these
products that way they make a good profit and they can keep selling the
common things for a lower price. Second P (place), Philips sells products in more
than 60 countries around the globe, in these countries they use their own
branded stores but also use other stores to sell their products. This makes it
possible to get a well-known brand because you can find their products almost
everywhere. Tirth P (product) Philips has a large amount of products you can
buy, from telephones and pc’s to Hospital requirement. This wide selection of
products makes it possible to connect with a large group of people like
teenagers, adults or even elderly people. Fourth P (promotion) Philips is very
good in promoting, you can see them on tv, you can hear them on the radio, see
them in newspapers with offers and you can even see a famous influencer
promoting their brand on social media. All of this is for brand awareness, They
also sponsor F1 races, Australian rugby and they sponsored the “Monster of rock
Festival”. This is how Philips uses their marketing techniques to promote their
products and their brand, and also keep growing every year.

Royal Dutch Shell also known as “shell” is one of the biggest companies is the
world that is involved in trading and selling of oil. In 2017 they had a revenue of
