Goods production is where the goods is produced but it does not calculate to the customer’s choice or satisfaction, the goods is produced by believing Producer believe that goods which is sold by customer’s demand Ford is the first champion for this concept, said that American are ready to pay for any car which produced by Ford However, the production industry increase continuosly with more sellers, so this concept change as per destination where goods are produced with customer’s demand and choice Dell is the first person who was in the good production industry according to customer’s segment (student, music person, businessman…) In summary, production is all stages to create the value, benefits to customers and company earn profits though this activity So according to Marketing concept, any activity does not bring value and benefit to customer

it does not calle production (Philips Kotler Marketing book)

- Procter & Gamble have set of washing powder as: Tide, Rejoice , Viso , soap as: Camay , Zest , Coast, CK

(c) Augmented product

One product includes mental and physical aspect, mental aspect will increase the value of product Mental aspect includes: insurance policy, service or setting, and increasing value to customer, and help the customers use the product more easier call Augmented product

The producer always thinks three levels when they produce good (1) core product is the basic benefit of good bringing to customer, for instance with washing powder tide having the basic value is clothes wiping out; (2) actual product is the invisible part of product including product quality, model, brand name, package, characteristic; (3) augmented product is the services or supplementary benefit such as directions, varanteer, service after sell, delivery Some scholars add more level later as potential product When design one product the producer have to pay attention to all product levels The differences between level of product will create the competition ability for product “the competition

is not only product by product but also the adding value from each product item including package, service, advertising, inventory, and other conditions in which produers thinks important”

Philip Kotler (2002) has the clear concept about the social marketing concept:

“social marketing concept is utilizing marketing rules and technologies to make impression to indicated customers to make them accepted, rejected, or removed with their given behaviours which give benefit to individual, group or society

Alan Andreasen (1995) had the more academic concept: “Social marketing is to apply marketing technics in business in order to plan, analyze, implement and give price

to designed programmes in order to impact to indicated consumers’ voluntary behaviours

in order to bring the value to them and society where they live”

Nedra Kline Weinreich (1999) had the simple concept “social marketing uses the marketing business technic to encourage one behavious in order to improve health,

happiness of each customer or all society”.

It means that this company just sell what it has, not what customer need

 Marketing is the trendary activity to customer in ordert o satisfy customer’s demand and needs through process of communication (Kotler 1980)

Question 3 : Explain the market segmentation and suitable examples.

Answer question 3 :

Market segmentation or objective marketing is the concept which is different

from general marketing and multiform product marketing The objective of marketing market segmentation is to devide market into small segmentation in order to easily observe, getting easily and meeting easily because of company resource limited It means that company cannot meet all market, and each company has the different strength in comparation with their competitor So to meet the market demand the company has to segment the market, choose the indicated market in order to compete and survive with competitor

Currently most of the companies has left the common market, they start to follow

up with indicated market So there are some market they will withdraw or work temporary, and some market they will focus to invest So we can said that market segmentation is to determine which market they will compete and which market they will leave

Ex: Car market, we can see the high market iincluding Maybach, Rolls Royce then Mercedes,BMW, Audi mediate market Toyota, Honda, Ford; while the low market segmentation having Kia Motors, China…

The objective of market segmentation is to devide the market in small market with customers who have the same demand Identification of market segmentation will support company: (1) create the product and service meet customer’s specific demand and (2) concentration of marketing resource is more effective

Example:

You have received the invitation to take part in the workshop of consultantcy and service of retirement You are one of the many people receiving this invitation Throughout the database analysis showed that you have the following criteria:

+ You jhave property (showing in the land tax where you are living)

+ You are in group of people nearly to retirement

+ You live in closely with the workshop happen

Some of the above criteria set up you into the group op people that the retired planner want to focus The planner believe that they send the letter with tiltle “Let our expert set

up your future plan” which will can be attract you It shows that company try to focus on their marketing resources to customer who is interested their company service and these customers have enough finance capability to pay this service

Question 4 : “PLC as a tool for marketing strategy" justify.

Answer question 4 :

Product Life Cycle (PLC) is the important concept in marketing It helps management marketer understood more process of movement and changing in the market, competitor’s activities and method to access necessary differnently to product cycle

Different product has the different life cycle and the stage of life cycle has the different length and shorthen, consumption and benefit of different stage It means that company has to have the differebt marketing stategy, finance, production, supply, and human resource into each stage of product life cycle

Basic product life cycle has the sin figure and there are four clear stage:

1 Introduction is the stage that product enter the market The turnover in this stage increases slowly, no benefit because of cost for introduce product in market

2 Development is the stage of product which is received faster and benefit increasing significantly

3 Growth is the stage that turnover increase but slow down due to almost potential customer who access to product Profit is slow down because of increasing cost to protect product with competitors

4 Decline is the stage of turnover reducing and profit reducing as well Some marketing strategies for each product life cycle

a Introduction

Product is the first time entering to this stage There are four strategy methods which can be implemented

- Rapid skimming strategy is the strategy of launching new products to market with initial high prices and high level of fans Enterprise features to ensure high rates of gross profit per unit of product at the highest level Enterprise costs more for the fans operate as advertising, promotions, to convince customers of the benefits of the product and to increase market penetration rate This strategy is usually applied in most cases unknown market potential products; who were known to have been the product desired products and are willing to pay high prices to buy this product; business in the face of potential competition; and when businesses want to create brand preference

- Strategy is slow skimming strategy launched new products to market with initial high price and low level fans Enterprise believes that high prices will create higher gross profit level per unit of product, while a marketing costs keeps low, and therefore will be more profitable skimmers on the market This strategy is applied when the market has size restriction; most customer known products; buyers are willing to pay high prices; and potential competition is not capable of happening

- Rapid penetration strategy is the strategy of launching new products to the market with high-level supporters and initially low price, hoping to achieve rapid penetration rate and the largest market share This strategy is appropriate only when the market is large and

unknown products; most people are sensitive to purchase price; market potentially stiff competition; Businesses can achieve effective economies according to scale and cumulative production experience

- Slow penetration strategy is the strategy of launching new products into the market with low initial price and low fans lavel Low prices will encourage consumers quickly accepted products, low fan cost to achieve higher net income This strategy is appropriate for markets with strong price elasticity demand, but little elasticity with fan elements; large-scale market, well known products; and potential competitiveness

b Development

During the development phase, enterprises can deploy a number of marketing strategies to prolong the rapid growth of the market

Strategies to improve product quality, enhanced features and new models for new products

- Entry strategy into new market segments

- Strategies to expand the scope of existing distribution channels and to participate in the new distribution

- Strategic moving target from referral advertising items to create trust and preference products

- Strategy timely discounts to attract customers who are sensitive to price

Market challenges in the development phase is shifted from building awareness of product to brand name Since these new competitors are always attracted to the increasing

of revenue and profit, so you need to focus on maximizing the growth of the company in order to increase sales or expand product such as the introduction of lower price iPod Mini Apple in 2005

C Growth

- Up to a certain point, an increase of product sales will slow down and enter the

product relatively prolific period This stage usually lasts prolific than the previous stage, posing hardships for marketing executives Prolific period can be divided into three periods The first period was prolific growth, the growth rate began declining sales; no

new distribution channels to increase, although some people still accept late to buy products Second period was prolific stable sales, turnover per capita does not change because the market was saturated The majority of these potential customers to try the product and future consumption depending on population growth and replacement demand Third period was prolific decline, scale sales declining, customers switching to other products and substitute products

- The pace of sales growth slowed generates excess production capacity in the industry and making competition more significantly The competitors are often used to sell off They promote and enhance advertising relationships with distributors and intermediary clients, funding additional research and development to create better designs for products Ultimately, this work will make profits decline Some major competitors began to withdraw from the market In the only remaining branch of that business firm trend is mainly trying to gain their competitive advantage

- In the mature stage/growth, firms often seek to eliminate weak products and focus resources on more profitable products, and sometimes disregard the enormous potential of existing old products themselves Marketers need to consider a system of market strategy, product and marketing improvements - mix

- Market innovation.

Enterprises try to improve existing products consumed in two ways: increasing the number of people using the product and increase the use of each Increasing the number

of products can be used by seeking new customers (changing impact on the attitude of not using the product); penetrating new market segments; or win the customers of competitors

Increase the level of use of the existing clients by convincing them to use more often; each session with more numbers; discover new uses and to encourage people to use the product in many ways more diverse Marketers can also reposition the brand product in order to attract a larger market segment or capable of further development

- Product innovation.

The marketing managers can also innovation of product attributes such as quality, features, styling to attract new customers and get more use

The strategy aims to strengthen the quality of performance enhancing products such as durability, reliability, taste, speed This strategy is effective as long as the quality can also be improved, buyers still believe claims about the quality has improved and there are many who wish to purchase a higher quality

Strategy to enhance added feature of the new characteristics (such as size, weight, material fabrication, parts included) to augment the utility, diversity, safety levels or the convenience products

Strengthen strategic characteristics of the product is capable of creating images and spirit of innovation and enterprise enlisted the loyalty of a number of market segments appreciate the attributes However, this strategy is characterized by competitors mimic competition

- Strategic design improvements to increase the aesthetic appeal of the product The regular launch of new product designs are competitive in the form of products, rather than compete on quality or characteristics of the product The essence of the strategy is to improve designs created unique characteristics of form, structure and color packaging recognizable to customers in order to attract new customers while still taking advantage

of the customer loyalty the products with trademarks

For example: computer industry is currently approaching the ripe stage, if not the stage is ripe The manufacturers of hardware and software products continuously improving, but that does not stimulate customers to abandon their machines are used to switch to the new machine Even Microsoft also recognizes that customers are large companies which also do not like to regularly update the latest version of Microsoft These customers see that the cost spent on training and the use of substitutes is not much benefit As the personal computer business plan to use discounts to stimulate purchases Here some examples of revitalized product:

* Notebooks supporting more traditional radio functions

* GPS applications in passenger cars
