...Principles of Marketing T/Thurs Chapter 6 Activities: 1. The three television commercials designed to persuade buyers to view the products being advertised as shopping items would have to be 1) Abercrombie & Fitch clothing line, 2) Samsung for their 3D LED TV, and 3) CoverGirl makeup. The similarities for all three of these commercials are to sell their product to the consumers, entice consumers to buy their product, and have the consumers feel as if they need the product. Also, I would have to say that all three commercials are clever, effectively marketed. Each of the TV commercials is less or a little more than 30 seconds which depends on how much the company willing to pay for their product’s exposure. Each commercial has a target market they want to reach and the success of the product depends on the consumers buying their product. The three brands throughout the years have shown brand loyalty and I believe that it is what keeps them so successful and current. I want to start off talking about Abercrombie & Fitch; they are never out of the limelight. I would have to say they are the most controversial successful retail company that continues to push the envelope when they run commercials or poster ads. I truly believe that there isn’t any bad publicity for this company “controversy sells.” The market demographics are tailored to the young teenagers who have the disposable income to spend their money or have a say where they want their parents to spend...

...The two industries I chose were the automotive industry and apparel industry. Similarities of both industries include technology and its impact to the customer by now being able to assess the value on the basis of other dimensions, such a quality, service, and relationships. It also provides value through the new development of technology. Both want to help provide the customer-satisfying products required for their respective organizations survival and prosperity. They also both have seasonal products and adapt to locations and cultures of their markets. However, to contrast there is a huge difference in prices when both products are put on the market. People grow and need new clothes. While a car could last for over 15 years supporting its driver. The time range of these products, and the need is different, too. Economically, the automotive industry is stable, but depends on the demand of the product. Technology plays an important role in the automotive industry as well. Through technology, we have seen safer cars, more options (GPS, Radio, and WIFI), speed control and crash prevention systems, these all important factors in deciding to buy a car. Apparel plays and important role in the social field. It is a need and can show status, culture, and location. All very important on influencing a market.

...The new product that I will be writing about for the purpose of this paper is called Beautiful Hair it is an all-natural chemical free hair dye. Hair care is of extreme importance for women and is starting to become more common for men as well. The hair care industry is extremely competitive with some top competitors such as Clairol and L’Oreal. These are strong brands that are well known and trusted by competitors. When it comes to a product that has an effect on a person’s outward appearance such as hair dye consumers tend to stick with a well know brand and can have some difficulties switching to a new product. This is why having a rock sold marketing strategy is important but it is even more important to have a strong product that will stand out and sell its self with what is has to offer. Hair coloring can provide an instant change to a person’s appearance some we will love and some we will regret instantly and if using harmful chemical based hair dyes you don’t want to make that mistake. The Beautiful Hair product line is a long lasting henna based chemical free hair dye that will guarantee beautiful results.

...Product and service marketing are fundamentally different A service, unlike products, is an action that one person can offer another that is intangible and does not result in ownership of a physical product. Different marketing tactics work better for services versus products. A business needs to develop marketing plans for both services and products. A few of the differences between service marketing and product marketing, when a business markets a service, they are actually marketing a relationship and value. This relationship and value needs to be marketed differently than if the business is marketing products. Another difference between marketing services and marketing products is that when a customer buys a service, the customer is buying something that is intangible, instead of a tangible product, like a television, phone, or a tablet computer. Also, a customers’ idea of a service is often times based on the reputation of a single person and not a brand or product. Instead of building a reputation based on the quality of several different products, a service reputation is built on how well a person delivers on the service offered. For example, how well a retirement fund manager does managing a stock portfolio. Lastly, it is relatively easy for a consumer to compare the quality of different products. It is easy to see if one television has a better picture than another side by side, or if on computer operates faster than another, or the quality of two different vehicles...

...customer base. The emphasis in this section is the cost, not the price of the product. This means that the company can make a product fairly cheap but charge the customers as much as they want by making a fairly inexpensive product or service seem really expensive through marketing. The second category, differentiation, is when the organization competes on the basis of providing unique goods or services with features that customers value, perceive as different, and for which they are willing to pay a premium. The last category, the focus or niche, is when the organization pursues either a cost of differentiation advantage, but in a limited (narrow) customer group. A focus strategy concentrates on serving a specific market niche. Based on research about our product and other companies out there with similar products such as ours, we have decided to use the differentiation strategy. The competitive scope is to have a broad target and the advantages we will be using are how our product differs from the other similar products. We feel as if this is the best strategy to use because our product is on the expensive side, which means we will not want to use the cheaper materials just to gain profit, and we do not want to have a narrow target market. We want to be able to give our customers what they pay for as far as quality and we want to reach as many targets as possible, not just a small group. Our product is for anyone and everyone so we want to advertise in a way that grabs the...

...Marketing Segmentation and Product Positioning Marketing Segmentation and Product Positioning According to the author, Dawn Iacobucci of our textbook, Marketing Management, in our society economists say that “imperfect competition exists” meaning that “consumers have unique needs and desires; so collectively, a marketplace of consumers is heterogeneous“ (Iacobucci, 2010, p. 15). This methodology takes into account the distinction and diversity of individuality of the consumers; each consumer has their own different perceptions, experiences, and preferences requiring that different products be produced in order to meet their different segment needs (Iacobucci, 2010). Consumer purchasing is motivated by many different needs ranging from basic biological needs to more intangible and conceptual needs that reflect their personal well-being (Iacobucci, 2010). The strategy used to address customer’s unique differences and Therefore, a market segment is a group of consumers that shares similar inclinations toward your brand (Iacobucci, 2010, p. 16). If marketing were a continuum, the extremes would be “mass marketing” and “one-to-marketing” with “market segmentation” representing the median. The Frat House will utilize a concentration approach marketing strategy, a market segmentation approach whereby a company develops one marketing strategy for a single segment (Ferrell, Hirt, & Ferrell, 2009, p. 371.)
