consumer decision making 3 types:
extensive decision making
limited decision making
routine decision making
extensive decision making
products that are very costly/have a large and lasting impact on lives

do a lot of investigation before making decision
- consumer reports, research, etc.
- often rely on sales people to help - they have product knowledge to help guide

ex: Car, house, pet, college
limited decision making
give a little consideration
shop around a little for the best product, compare pricing

ex: clothing, airline tickets, relatively high price tag
routine decision making
decisions that we give hardly any mental energy to buy
- buy the same brand of milk while shopping
-buying gas -- not much cognitive effort
elaboration likelihood model
central processing
peripheral processing
influenced in two different ways depending on how important the decision is to us
central processing
motivated, cognitive resources available, argument quality considered
peripheral processing
less motivated -- don't care as much, not as much time and energy

few cognitive resources available

peripheral cues most important
left brain processing
rational, wants to seek out information, sensibility, comparative shopping

will have a lot more product info, logic based, argument will be rational
right brain processing
emotional, sensory, more impulsive

appeal to our senses - desire to be loved, sexy, empowered, etc
buying behaviors
need recognition
alternative search
alternative evaluation
purchase decision

indicate if you will buy product again (loyal product purchaser), lead to word of mouth advertising (social networking, reviews online, tell friends)
relative to need recognition
Maslow's Hierarchy of needs
Physiological
safety
belongingness (social)
esteem
self-actualization

can be interrelated
individual hierarchies may differ
different cultures value different things
diffusion of innovations
a theory by Everett Rogers -- book about soy beans and farmers

different types of people will adopt different products at different times

adoption categories
-innovators
-early adopters
-early majority
-late majority
-laggards
innovators
venturesome, want to be known as the person who owns technology - adopt it first
early adopters
social leaders - take a little longer then innovators - trend setters, people follow them, more social
early majority
deliberate - very social, make decisions based on informal info that they gather
-this is the point where half of the population has adopted the product
late majority
skeptical, traditional - lower socioeconomic status, not as wealthy, not as educated, buy because they feel like they need to because everyone else has them
laggards
neighbors and friends are main information sources -- only buy when they feel like they have no choice, only buy if its the lowest price it will ever get to
diffusion of innovation depends on...
knowledge - person has some idea how it functions

persuasion - person forms an opinoin

decision - person engages in activities that lead to a choice

implementation - person puts an innovation into use

confirmatio - person evalutate the results of adoption

- not just a product, can be an idea
why gather market research
cause marketers to consider what they hadn't known before

consumers want you to know what they want

better quality decisions

better than winging it -- without data, you really are just guessing
start marketing research by?
defining purpose of the research
research questions
sources
primary: customized -- go out and gather own data/hire someone to gather data because you questions cannot be effectively answered using secondary data

advantage: competition may not have access to your data. an get the exact data that you are looking for

secondary: off the shelf -- rely on existing data base (free or purchased). gathered by someone else and is available to a lot of other people

advantage: this data could help you focus on what exactly you need to research. Already gathered = faster to get to data, and may be cheaper than gathering own data

ex of secondary databases -- neilsen, arbitron, simmons market research, state and metropolitan area data book
how is market research performed?
quantitative - mathematical analysis to derive statistically significant differences -- online survey, telephone survey
-- can generalize to a large population

qualitative -- provides a base for quantitative research design and development. Examines personal beliefs and opinions to uncover hidden issues (focus groups, one-on-ones, dial tests (a hybrid of qualitative/quantitive research). based on word, not numbers. Not easy to generalize to a larger population - can sometimes transfer to others - transferability
methods for gathering data
surveys
focus groups
experiments
interviews
observation
surveys
can gather a large amount of data
can use statistical inferences to generalize to a larger population

issues: limits participants in how they can respond, especially if the questions are close-ended. Have to know what questions to ask.
focus groups
large or small - interviews done in a group fashion
enables people to feed off of each others ideas
kids and tweens are studied in focus groups often
helps people relax --> feels more controversial rather than an interview
experiments
retailer/marketer can set up an artificial environment and watch people's purchasing behaviors

marketing research firms have "stores" (fake stores in buildings) that they study shoppers in - what will attract the attention of purchasers, product labels, placement in stores, shapes of stands etc

websites -- experiment all the time with the first thing that they put on their site
interviews
rich data
can ask many questions, probe, follow-up, why, what, what they like, etc.

easier to respond to a verbal interview type question rather than writing it out in a survey
essential for exploratory research - when you don't know enough to make a survey, you can do interviews first and et enough data so that you know what to ask on a survey, then get a larger sample thru the survey
observation
marketers and consumers do not know enough about the issue to be able to ell you about it

watching consumers in store -- see what you do
- size of the shopping cart effect what you put into it?
- how long do you stand in front of products?
also commonly done at fast food restaurants and gas stations
watch websites
testing
product testing - selcting a target market and testing a product a limited way in that area
introducing a product in a select market
surveys
phone and online surveys
pro's: large sample, projectable to large population, widely respected

cons: expensive (online less expensive than phone), less depth (can't probe why's)
--can only ask questions that you think are important, which can leave out info that may be important
traditional focus groups
in person focus groups
online focus groups

provide answersto in-depth "why" questions that are sometimes tougher to get at in a quantitative survey

larger expanded group interviewers
in person focus groups
moderated, in-depth discussion with pre-recruited individuals
-detailed discussions of material
-inexpensive
-client can watch
-"disaster check"
--find issues that could cause serious profit problems ex: Wii game w/women entering weight
online focus groups
inviting participation in an online discussion (can't see the interactions, so it may be a little less good data)
-larger sample and more diverse
-geographic representation
-less expensive
- quick results
label attractiveness
put different labels on product and test it with consumers in different cities
- different cities, different consumers like different labels
dial testing (online and Face-to-face)
done with movies/TV shows
used for pilot testing, ad tests, show maintenance, talent testing and more

Respondents move dial slider using mouse or keyboard to indicate their second-by-second rating of the video

seconf-by-second rating capture plus responses to closed ended questions

identifies highs and lows in a program

shows first-hand viewer reactions and responses

can follow up with focus groups

relatively small sample

can be more expensive
dial response analysis
client can see the video context that causes ratings to peak or fall
social networking applications
provides an immediate pipeline to specific audience targets. can reach highly engaged entertainment consumers in an environment where they are already sharing, commenting, and exploring their favorite TV shows/games/movie/sports teams.

this method works very well for show premiers, DV relaeses, or TV shows that may be appearing soon on DVD -- by quicly and inexpensively reaching out to the fan base...
how can social networking applications help find a target audience?
use social networking applications:
current fans of the program
new fans of a specific show
viewers of competitive shows within the tie period
viewers of a specific genre
viewers of a specific type of show
what do viewers do on social networks?
harness all this passion and energy and convert it into meaningful information and strategy

rate every episode
discuss
trivia/quizzes
decision making
important to collect data
important to spend a little save a lot -- do the research and save the money down the road
important to consider whats important -- think about what you need to know, what you need to put on the survey
important to act promptly - act on the data -- data changes!!
-- consumer behvaior changes, as well as the environment (economy, society), values, competitors products change

example: Ford Edsel
market segmentation
based on the idea that different consumers/organizations have different needs and preferences

marketers group purchasers to better focus their effort, to better satisfy needs and increase profitability

from these groups (or segments), target markets are identified
- segment according to gender, age, finances

market towards a specific segment and make product that that target market will have a strong desire/need for

can decide if you want multiple products for multiple markets ,or just with one
features vs. benefits
product features: characteristics of the product

product benefits: benefits consumers realize from the product

people typically think about the benefits - features are related, but he benefits are the important aspects

segmenting (and product positioning) should focus on the benefits
product feature
characteristics of the product
product benefits
benefits consumers realize from the product
steps involved in segmenting a market
determine consumers' needs and wants

determine how the market should be segmented based on the wants and needs

assess your organizations capabilities (and desire) to serve different segments
a priori segmentation
segment market before hand, figure out target audience
post hoc segmentation
through research you discover that the market is already segmented in a particular way
how to segment
segmentation by demographics (age, income)

segmentation by benefit sought after by the consumer

segmentation based on psychographics
segmentation by demographics
age, income

census bureau -- determine how many people are buying by city/state/region

private market research
- Simmons (ex) who you can hire to do market research
segmentation by benefits sought after by the consumers
what is it that people are looking for in a product
segmentation based on psychographics
VALs approach
PRIZM approach
VALs approach
segmentation based on psychographics

cognitive approach
looking at people's attitudes
consumers mindset and attitudes about topics relative to your product
PRIZM approach
segmentation based on psychographics

based on lifestyle and demographics of neighborhoods

behavioral approach
look at active lifesyle vs. not active, urban v. rural, working adults v. not working adults.
product positioning is determining...
how your product is positioned in the minds of consumers (compared to competitors;what do consumers think when they think of your product)

how your product fits into a particular market segment

how does the marketing mix engage the desired segment
strategic circles
list all benefits consumers desire in the product

list all benefits your product offers

draw circles to represent the two lists including the overlap -- comparing the benefits

list all benefits offered by your competition and similarly represent it with a third circle
product positioning circles
what consumers want, what we offr, what competitors offer

shows us what we can improve upon tom ake our product more attractive consumers than our competition

want to shift lines so that competition isn't offering more than u

tells ush ow we compare to competition
positioning map
plots dimensions related to benefits that are important for consumers

decide segmentation strtegy
-to segment of not to segment
too much competition
the segment is not worth it

benefits to marketers:
- fund where underserved markets are
- find out where it is in its lifecycle -- change how you promote it?

design market mix strategy
integrate market communications
to develop marketing communication programs that coordinate and integrate all elements of promotion...presents a consistent message

reflective of original goal
consistent look
all of marketing should have the same sort of feeling
figure out what they main thing is that is trying to be communicated to ocnsumers, make sure you have it consistently shown in every thing we do and say

communicate message differently to consumers at different stages

unified messages in the right place at the right time
ways to categorize products
agricultural/raw materials

organizational

consumer goods
agricultural/raw materials
commodities
- have not been processed in any sort of way

- raw product that goes into making something else
ex: timber, grain, oil, gold - things that don't typically brand associated with it
organizational
(products that are sold to organizations) can be materials used in production or materials used by the organization in the course of doing business. 2 types of markets:
- vertical markets
- horizontal markets
consumer goods
3 types

- convenience goods (items purchased often such as food)
- shopping goods (items that aren't purchased often e.g., cell phones, cars)
- specialty goods (uniqu goods that require some effort to purchase e.g., wills, builder to build a home)
---- consumers don't purchase often
---- requires some effort - shop around a lot. ex: homes, expensive jewelry
---- important purchases that can have lots of ramifications if purchased wrong
---- promotions often don't work on these purchases because consumer is already thinking about making this type of purchase
vertical markets
restricted to a few buyers but almost all in a market use the product (semi conductors)
-select types of orgnaizations buy products, not a lot of corporations that purchase the item
- product goes into making other products
horizontal markets
goodsa re purchased by many different types of users (paper)
- products used by organizations, but there are LOTS of different buyers
--not directly used in the production of other products (pens, pencils, paper, carpets)
- lots of different types of orgs. buy them, not directly used in the course of manufacturing
product mix
the full set of products offered for sale by the organization

may consist of several product lines

everything an organiztion has for sale
ex: all the products sold by Proctor and Gamble
product line
products that share common characteristics, distribution channels, customers or uses (laundry detergents)

characteristics of width and depth
width of a product line
number of product lines handled by the organization

ex: Proctor and Gamble has a wide product line - Many different types of products -- toothpaste, laundry detergent, skin care, etc.
depth of a product line
average number of products in each line (how many different laundry detergents

- number of individual products in each product line
- general/generic kind of category
brand
name, term, design, symbol or other feature that distinguishes it from others

name of the prodcut that has been assigned
trademark
legal term for brand

property that hey own that is associated with the brand


synonymous but the trademark is the legal entity
brand equity
if a brand is valuable is has this
value placed on the brand
brands
recognition
trust
- familiar with it, so we trust the consistency, value - willing to pay a little more because we know it well be a consistently good product

short hand for what the product is
going generic
means everyone is using your brand to describe a class of products -- even wen they are from your competitors

others can capitalize onyour brand when this happens
ex:Thermos, refrigerator, band air, xerox, escalator, etc.

brand loses value when this happens
What to do when a brand goes generic?
it is a gradual process for consumers to being treating the brand like a product category

brand managers have to constantly monitor the consumers perception of the brand to avoid this

must rebrand of reposition
-- phase out the product and re-do it
manufacturers use brands to...
extend their lines
brand extension
franchise extension or family branding
dual branding
multi-branding
extend their lines
uses the name to reach a new market segment
- reach people who have not used their product
-expand their market by offering products that fit different markets -- different than diversification == this is about getting to a new market segment, not creating a new product --> starbucks blonde roast
brand extension
enter a new product class

not a different variety of item, but using the brand name to get into an entirely new product category (more like diversification)

brand name to get into a different type of product so that people who already trust/like the brand buy their new stuff
franchise extension or family branding
using corporate name and attaching it to a new type of product because corporation wants to get into a new product line

entering a ne wproduct class

used if brand name doesn't exist that is recognizable to consumersmore than the corporate name

lots of overlap with diversification

ex: Apple - corporate name; iPhone, MacBook, iPad - brand name -- if they used Apple as the name of their new sneaker category that would be brand extension
dual branding
when two companies unite to create a product
attach brand naems to a given product
when its part of the name of the actual product

oreo cookies in Dreyers ice cream
multi-branding
multiple brands

corporation has multiple brands that hey use for the products, products that are all within one product line

targeted to different target audiences - have a product for each target audiences
product packaging
packaging often is the competitive edge of a product
- smaller or larger size (travel size)
- more convenient to use or to keep fresh
- more attractive (not always the most functional, but because it is packaged in a way you like
- more environmentally friendly
product life cycles
introduction - costs are high for marketing and production - not selling much at this stage
growth - sales and profits increase
maturation - increased competition means that profits don't keep pace with sales. New marketing strategies to spark new interest. --- competition starts making products simliar to yours -- new marketing needed
decline - may drop the product, seek new uses, seek new markets, change the product, or continue the same but invest less in it (relates back to the Boston consulting group model
the product audit
current product offerings are reviewed to ascertain whether each product should be continued as is, improved, modified, or deleted

deletions or product improvements
deletions
consider sales trends, profit contributions, product life cycle, customer migration patterns

- customers desire to use other products
- no longer interested in your type of product
product improvements
decisions can be made about how to change the products attributes
