Learning Objective 1
Spotlight question
_A
1. Visit USM Events website (www.usmevents.com.au). In terms of what you have read
in the chapter so far, how would you describe USM Events’ approach to business
and the marketing process? (pg. 10)
Marketing is an approach to business that puts the customer, client, partner and
PP
society at the heart of all business decisions. The marketing process involves
understanding the market to create, communicate and deliver an offering for
exchange. The USM Events approach to business encompasses the marketing
process; “USM Events is a young and dynamic team that is close to its stakeholders
and listens to the market forces….the company places high priority on listening to
RO
what its customers would like…”(pg. 10).
Concepts and applications check
1.1 Find an example of marketing in action and analyse the extent to which you think
VE
the marketer has adopted ‘marketing thinking’. (pg. 10)
Student answers will vary depending on their own interests. One of the prominent
Australian examples of marketing in action is the ‘Target 140’ campaign. This
campaign ran from March 2007 to July 2008, with the primary objective being to
D?
get Queensland residents to reduce their water consumption to 140 litres per person
per day. The campaign was structured around TV and print advertising (often
including tips on how to conserve water, e.g. turning off the tap while shampooing
, Marketing, 3rd Edition
hair or brushing teeth) and free four-minute shower timers to residents. This is, of
course, part of a larger effort surrounding sustainable living and development. The
campaign was highly successful, reducing the average amount of water used per
person from 300 litres to 129 litres per day (more information can be found at
www.target140.com.au). This campaign fulfils the aim of mutual benefits; due to
the decrease in water consumption, the government was able to postpone
investments in, for example, desalination plants, which in turn had a positive impact
on resident’s tax burden.
ST
1.2 Find an example of a socially responsible company. Explain why you feel this is
company is socially responsible. (pg. 10)
UV
Students may wish to look at companies that are topping corporate social
responsibility indexes, such as the FTSE4GoodIndice or the Australian Corporate
Responsibility Index. Students may also want to search corporate websites to
consider sustainability or corporate social responsibility reports.
IA
1.3 Find an example of a company that is co-creating with customers. Explain why you
feel this is an example of co-creation. (pg. 10)
Co-creation is the process whereby consumer experiences are used to drive
_A
organisation improvement and change, resulting in enhanced market performance
drivers for the firm (loyalty, relationships, customer word of mouth). Two examples
of companies utilising co-creation are Facebook and YouTube.
1.4 Define marketing in your own words. How has your understanding of marketing
PP
changed after reviewing the first part of this chapter? (pg. 11)
Student answers will vary. Students may comment that they thought marketing was
advertising. The text defines marketing as the activity, set of institutions, and
processes for creating, communicating, delivering and exchanging offerings that
RO
have value for customers, clients, partners and society at large.
1.5 Explain how marketing can be used by not-for-profit organisations. Discuss an
example in your answer. (pg. 11)
VE
A not-for-profit organisation (NPO) is prohibited from distributing profits to its
members, owners or managers. However, NPOs still strive to produce profits, but
must adhere to certain restrictions in regards to their use of those profits. In general,
charities, community services and sporting organisations are all examples of NPOs.
D?
NPOs regularly engage in marketing for a range of reasons. It might be to collect
funds for a certain charity, or to inform and educate certain groups of the population
(educational marketing, e.g. Australia’s AIDS campaigns).
