satisfy those needs profitably. Those activities include understanding the marketplace and
customers, developing a marketing strategy, delivering value, growing customer relations, and

Lecture Tidbit:
Diaper companies have been working for more than 40 years to follow the societal concept by
considering the needs of customers and needs for less waste going in landfills: a biodegradable
disposal diaper. Diapers are expensive, they pile up in landfills for thousands of years before
breaking down, and they are made at least partially from petroleum-based products. While the
best are still only 87 percent biodegradable within 75 days, bamboo fibers and super-absorbent
polymers make up the bulk of today’s disposable diapers.

Section 1.4 Summary
Companies have shifted how they market their products as manufacturing processes have
improved, the US population has grown, and economic tides have ebbed and flowed. Some
firms focus on the production concept or keeping costs low through mass production; some
have adopted the product concept, acknowledging that some consumers prefer products
featuring quality, performance, and innovative features. The sales concept follows the maxim
that consumers and businesses won’t buy products without a major sales effort, and the
marketing concept focuses on the needs and wants of consumers and attempting to satisfy
them by developing products that delight consumers. The final concept is societal, a marketing
philosophy where companies balance customer needs and wants with society’s long-term
interests.
1.5 Determining Consumer Needs and Wants
Learning Outcomes
● Explain how an organization identifies consumer needs and wants.
● Describe the process through which an organization satisfies consumer needs
and wants.
Section Outline
Identifying Consumer Needs and Wants
Satisfying Consumer Needs and Wants
Section 1.5 Summary
Marketers not only aim to satisfy consumers’ needs and wants but wish to delight them instead
with added value. It gets complicated when consumers have stated needs and real needs but
also harbor unstated (unexpressed) needs as well as secret needs and the need to be delighted
by a purchase. It’s through the value proposition, or promise, that a company’s products and
services meet consumer needs more fully than competitors do. It’s through the exchange
process that consumers obtain products through payment to a seller (see Figure 1.10).
