...for different attributes of products and services, and relate this to customer type or segment, experience, demographics etc. Data/Methodology: Satisfaction studies typically require a mix of qualitative and quantitative approaches. At an early stage, qualitative research techniques such as focus groups or one-on-one customer interviews might reveal unexpected dimensions of customer dissatisfaction. Usually customer satisfaction measures and information on customer type are collected by use of a survey. A satisfaction survey frequently includes items dealing with importance and performance of various attributes, and some information on customer type (heavy/light user, experience and other segmentation variables). In addition to simple tabulation, analysis could include cross-tab and regression analysis to understand predictors of satisfaction. Are all segments equally satisfied? Why/why not? Is performance adequate on the most important attributes? Why/why not? EXAMPLE PROJECT: Research Purpose: Find areas of improvement in the order experience for an online retailer selling specialty dog chew-toys. Research Objectives: Using a sample of current customers, measure importance of key dimensions of the purchase experience, and current performance along these dimensions and relate these to purchase frequency, customer type and demographics. Possible Recommendations: Redesign the web-site so that chew-toys are grouped by usage and include more detailed pictures and descriptions of materials...

...necessary discussions — potentially even a few weeks depending on factors like the size of your market and the uniqueness of your product line(s). The following article may help you in developing your marketing plans. Steps 1. 1 The Executive Summary. A high-level summary of the marketing plan as a whole, and a paradox on paper: this is the last section that you should write, but the first section that should be in the finished report. It’s best to keep the Executive Summary as short and sweet as possible — just a couple of sentences to sum everything up. While writing it, imagine that you’re going to present this summary “elevator pitch” style. Once you’ve finished it, read it out loud. If it takes you longer than ten seconds to read it all, it probably needs to be simplified even further. Ad 2. 2 The Challenge. This section should contain a brief description of the product(s) and/or product line(s) that your company offers. With each description, include goals that you want to set for each product and product line (sales figures, strategic and company-wide goals, etc.). Keep the number and complexity of your goals at a maximum of three per product/product line, and remember that they need to be concise, measurable, and moderately easy to achieve. 3. 3 Situation Analysis. This section contains a snapshot of your company, your customer base, and your market at...

...Market Segmentation Market segmentation is the division of a market into distinct groups of buyers who might require different products or marketing mixes (Kotler et al, 1994). It is the division of a heterogeneous market consisting of buyers with different needs and wants, into homogeneous segments of buyers with similar needs and wants. Therefore, the segments are heterogeneous between (ie. all the segments are different, eg. one segment all males, one segment all females) themselves, but homogeneous within (eg. within the male segment, all buyers are male; within the female segment, all buyers are female). Segmentation is important as buyers have unique needs and wants. In segmenting a market, marketers look for broad classes of buyers who differ in their needs. There is no one right way of segmenting markets. A marketer has several bases available to him/her for the segmentation of markets. Bases for Segmenting Consumer Markets Segmenting markets on the basis of geography involves dividing the market into different geographical units, eg. states, regions, countries, where the company pays attention to geographical differences in needs and wants. For example, there may be a greater need for T-shirts in the Northern part of Australia all year round rather than in the Southern part. Demographic segmentation involves dividing the market into groups based on demographic variables such as age, family size and life cycle, occupation, etc. It is the most popular bases...

...According to the Economic Times “Segmentation allows a seller to closely tailor his product to the needs, desires, uses and paying ability of customers. It allows sellers to concentrate on their resources, money, time and effort on a profitable market, which will grow in numbers, usage and value.” The Coca Cola Company, one of the global leading brands, targets all markets using a mass marketing technique which falls under the category of undifferentiated marketing. Whilst there may be no single way to segment any market, firms need to consider various segmentation variables in order to gain a better perspective of the market structure and thus the best way to corner the market. Coca Cola segments its products and targets its customers in the following ways; Geographical :- International – The company uses Cane sugar in countries such as Mexico and the Caribbean and High Fructose Corn syrup in the USA. By using cheaper raw materials which are more readily available in certain international markets they are able to maintain a standard product with an affordable price. However this may have an effect on product taste. Climatic – Different products for various climates – Coca-Cola sells more in hotter regions where the demand may be higher as persons seek cold refreshing drinks more. In many tea centric countries such as Britain and The Middle East tea beverages like Honest Tea and Fuze Tea are sold. Local – Certain products are not available in all countries (eg....

...Executive Summary We want to market Green Coconut Water. We have prepared this feasibility plan on that basis. We have assigned a name for the product as“Jaul”. Since the raw materials are very much available in our country, we have decided to give the product an indigenous image. Jaulis a kind of soft drink that provides the consumers with processed green coconut water in bottles. For the marketing purpose of the product we have decided to launch three product lines. The Jaul would be launched in the market at250 ml. 500 ml.and1 Litre bottle. We have set a reasonable price for the product so that all kinds of people can afford to buy this soft drink. We have followed theTarget Costingpricing approach. We would gain a competitive advantage, as this is a first hit in the market. We have targeted a huge market segment for the product. Bangladesh is a large populated country. Lots of people are looking for such a product. Green Coconuts are not available all the time. For example: a person walking on the street. Suddenly he feels thirsty. Now if he wishes to drink green coconut water he cannot find it easily. It is not always found in the right place at the right time. If we launch our product in the market, a person willing to drink green coconut water can have it from a nearby shop. At present this is not possible. Our target market includeshealth conscious people, sick people, sportsperson& many other consumers, which we have segmented from theDemographical,Geographical,Psycho...

...and diversification. Companies like Fitbit and Lululemon benefit from their expertise and innovation in niche markets, whereas companies like PepsiCo and Koch Industries benefit from their diverse product and service lines that appeal to a wide variety of customers in several unrelated markets. So which business strategy is more effective in creating value for the company and its shareholders? While this question is not entirely answered by a quantitative analysis, given that businesses are dictated by more than the numbers, this research report addresses the underlying question by analyzing the conglomerate discount using ten company examples. The Conglomerate Discount The general idea behind the conglomerate discount is that companies with multiple unrelated business segments are unfairly valued in the market place as a result of rolling up the various divisions under one, larger parent company. Proponents of the conglomerate discount theory argue that the market essentially penalizes companies that diversify their portfolio of businesses by valuing the conglomerate company at a market value that is less than what the sum of the values of unrelated segments would imply. Because the operations of the business units vary tremendously, an investor that wants to generate a return on one division of the conglomerate must also invest in the multiple other unrelated segments that may not be well aligned with the underlying investment thesis, thus causing that investor to look elsewhere...
