Who Markets?
Marketers and prospects
Marketers are responsible for demand management
Eight demand states are possible
1. Negative demand.
2. Nonexistent demand.
3. Latent demand.
4. Declining demand.
5. Irregular demand.
6. Full demand.
7. Overfull demand.
8. Unwholesome demand.


Chapter Question 2:
What is the scope of
marketing?
Demand States
1. Negative demandConsumers dislike the product and
may even pay to avoid it.
2. Nonexistent demandConsumers may be unaware of or
uninterested in the product.
3. Latent demandConsumers may share a strong need
that cannot be satisfied by an existing product.
4. Declining demandConsumers begin to buy the product
less frequently or not at all.

5. Irregular demandConsumer purchases vary on a
seasonal, monthly, weekly, daily, or even hourly basis.
6. Full demandConsumers are adequately buying all
products put into the marketplace.
7. Overfull demandMore consumers would like to buy
the product than can be satisfied.
8. Unwholesome demandConsumers may be attracted
to products that have undesirable social consequences.
In each case, marketers must identify the underlying
cause(s) of the demand state and determine a plan of
action to shift demand to a more desired state.

Definition of a market?
Traditionally, a market was a physical place where
buyers and sellers gathered to buy and sell goods.
Economists describe a market as a collection of buyers
and sellers who transact over
a particular product or product class (such as the
housing market or the grain market).
Marketers often use the term market to cover various
groupings of customers. They view sellers as
constituting the industry, and buyers as constituting the
market.

Core Marketing Concepts
Chapter Question 3:
What are some
fundamental marketing
concepts?
Needs, Wants and Demands
Needs are the basic human requirements.
Wants are shaped by our society.
Demands are wants for specific products backed by the ability to
pay.
Five types of need:
1. Stated needs (the customer wants an inexpensive car).
2. Real needs (the customer wants a car, the operating cost of which, not initial price,
is low).
3. Unstated needs (the customer expects good service from the dealer).
4. Delight needs (the customer would like the dealer to include an onboard
navigation system).
5. Secret needs (the customer wants friends to see him as a savvy consumer).

Target Markets, Positioning, and Segmentation
Marketers:
Divide the market into segments
Target the segments presenting the greatest opportunity
Position their products in the minds of target buyers as delivering
key benefits

Carrefour stores are designed to appeal to
shoppers looking for a rich shopping
experience at affordable prices.
Offerings and Brands
Copyright 2012 Pearson Education 1-
19
Companies address customer needs
by putting forth a value proposition,
a set of benefits that satisfy those
needs. The intangible value
proposition is made physical by an
offering, which can be a
combination of products, services,
information, and experiences.
A brand is an offering from a known
source. A brand name such as
McDonalds carries many associations in
peoples minds that make up its image:
hamburgers, cleanliness, convenience,
courteous service, and golden arches.
Value and Satisfaction
Copyright 2012 Pearson Education 1-
20
The buyer chooses the
offerings he or she perceives
to deliver the most value, the
sum of the tangible and
intangible benefits and costs to
her. Value, a central
marketing concept, is primarily
a combination of quality,
service, and price (qsp), called
the customer value triad.
Satisfaction reflects a persons
judgment of a products
perceived performance in
relationship to expectations.

Chapter Question 6:
How does marketing in the
Arab world differ from
marketing elsewhere?
The Arab world is a huge potential market for international
companies.

However, companies have to keep several factors in mind
when targeting the Arab audience.

Values, religion, language, reading from right to left, and
politics are among a few key issues to take into consideration.
