Marketing – A Juggler’s Art:
Marketing, in more the one way, is like juggling. This strange analogy will become crystal clear if we take a close look at it. Just like the juggler the vendor too has to do these things to thrive in his business: first, he has to hook his audience; gain their attention through various jazzy tricks; and then hold their attention by still more modern juggling. All this he has to achieve without losing balance, focus or steadfastness in the art, the industry, in the marketer’s case. In short, selling is all when it comes to alluring, attracting and keeping a collection of clients for your Company’s welfare.
The Purpose Behind:
To quote the American Marketing Association’s definition, it is “an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communication and delivering value to clients and for managing client relationships in ways that gain the establishment and it is stakeholders”. If one dilutes all the verbosity and looks at it, merchandising means “selling” a product. This is the prime aim behind any kind of marketing. The “selling” is quickened with the help of the right way chalked out plans called merchandising strategies.
Factors that Influence:
With “selling” as the uttermost goal, merchandising schemes are influenced by two basic factors: first, acquisition of customers; second, retention of the acquired customers. So each other scheme that is laid out will focus on the above two. A Company has to work almost towards achieving these two to attain the desired cutting edge over it is competitors. There are also a few other goals intended to be attained like creating cognizance (informational and educational) with regards to the product, brand-building and accelerating sales.
Traditional Marketing:
With the world altering at each nanosecond, merchandising is also reeling underneath a whirlwind of change. New modes of syndication like e-marketing and online syndication have evolved. Yet traditionalisti syndication still holds sway with a great deal of corporates. Traditional merchandising operates based on the following strategies.
The Four Ps- Worship them:
The ‘Four Ps’ or the ‘marketing mix’ is a cliché with each marketer. Formulated by Jerome McCarthy, the ‘Four Ps’ refers to the four constituents that a vendor has to consider before launching a product or supplying a service. The syndication mix comprises of Product, Price, Promotion and Placement. In McCarthy’s assessment, original and foremost comes the Product-its production and management; second, the procedure of fixing an lowpriced price; third, the promotion of the product which includes advertising, branding etc and in the end fourth, the placement or distribution of the product, it is retailing and the routine by which it reaches the customer. All these four parts have to be decisive and well planned before pitching into any product launch.
Segmentation- Categorize your audience:
In established marketing, the market is segmented into a heap of subsets or segments depending on geographic, demographic, psycho graphic and behavioral variables. Each segment is homogenous and responds in a queer way to a queer marketing strategy. Small segments are considered as ‘niche’ markets or ‘specialty’ markets. A product is aimed at a queer segment and is launched only after indepth market exploration and buyer exploration on the segment. This assures the vendor that he is not bungee jumping but walking safely and securely on a well-laid road. Hence a product that is not necessitated by that queer segment is not produced. This deep analysis of the target segment is called ‘depth segmentation’. While the study of the target customer’s behavioral traits, nature, modus vivendi etc is called ‘Buyer’s Profile’. With all these the vendor draws a marketing plan, which is entirely geared to reach the target consumer.
Other aspects:
Traditional marketing, not similar to New Marketing, is Company-focused and product-based. It intends only to increase the visibility of the Company and it is brand. The message indicated to the client is Company-controlled and motivated not similar to in new marketing, which is Consumer-focused and attuned to consumer’s interests. The Company becomes the active participant while the buyer fades into the inactive and passive zone. A marketer, adopting the conventional method, will use his product’s USP (Unique Selling Proposition) to market it. USP is that distinctive feature which is exclusive to a queer product from a queer brand. With less number of competitors, USP-marketing is a very novel method. But in today’s world each other brand has all the features offered by it is competitor. Hence the glamour of USP-marketing is fading away.
Advertising and Promotion:
Marketing plans and schemes at last end in advertising. For it is advertizing which discloses the product to the world and places it in a platform for the target client to view. It gives the product visibility and helps boosts it is sales. Advertising, in general, may be classified into two trends: Above-the-line (ATL) and Below-the-line (BTL). ATL covers all the advert done through media. BTL stands for all the promotions- public relations, sponsorships, syndication etc. In conventional retail for the most part ATL is practiced. The following media are the ATL modes of advertising:
Print Medium: Newspapers, Magazines, Yellow Pages, Posters and Billboards.
TV & Radio: All kinds of TV and Radio spots
Other Communications: All kinds of mailers and leaflets
Traditional Marketing – Is it valid today?
When the world shifts gears and operates in a rapidly and without delay pace, it is advisable for us likewise to follow it is lead and take up the trend. Traditional Marketing, say galore market analysts, fails to work in today’s world. The brand recall is very minimal as the client is exposed to a assortment of brands. Moreover, as each other brand is as good as it is competitor, there is no queer reason for the buyer to opt for a queer brand. That’s why today’s vendor aims at 360-degree selling – an all round selling system covering all the available modes and aimed at uninterrupted brand recall. This is where online marketing offer a lot of hope for the marketer as the web reaches out to the potential buyer in a quickest pace possible. With all these around, the question of whether conventional marketing is valid today rises.
Maybe one may nullify this question by a few well-grounded answers: Traditional Marketing is adjudged as the best method according to a national survey conducted in 2005 in the U.S. jointly by Harris Interactive and Public Relations Society of America. As per the survey, most of the standard public, Fortune 1000 businessmen and Congressional Staffers voted the traditionalisti method of retail as the best method. Though the year 2005 belongs to a dead past now, the statement by the reputed vender Mr. Wilson will put an end to doubting queries: ” Traditional Marketing helps because persons still view them”.
