...capture this heterogeneous market for any product, marketers usually divide or disintegrate the market into a number of sub-markets/segments and the process is known as market segmentation. segmentation Thus we can say that market segmentation is the segmentation of markets into homogenous groups of customers, each of them reacting differently to promotion, communication, pricing and other variables of the marketing mix. Market segments should be formed in that way that difference between buyers within each segment is as small as possible. Thus, every segment can be addressed with an individually targeted marketing mix. The importance of market segmentation results from the fact that the buyers of a product or a service are no homogenous group. Actually, every buyer has individual needs, preferences, resources and behaviors. Since it is virtually impossible to cater for every customer’s individual characteristics, marketers group customers to market segments by variables they have in common. These common characteristics allow developing a standardized marketing mix for all customers in this segment. Through segmentation, the marketer can look at the differences among the customer groups and decide on appropriate strategies/offers for each group. This is precisely why some marketing gurus/experts have described segmentation as a strategy of dividing the markets for conquering them....

...PROMOTIONAL AND ADVERTISING STRATEGIES Martha Simpson Professor Gary Shelton BUS 508: Contemporary Business Strayer University August 31, 2014 The history of the automobile began during the late 1700s when European engineers began producing powered vehicles that consisted of combustion, steam, and electrical motors. The 1900s also proved to be a time when the uncertainty of determining which type of motor could actually power the automobile was in question as well. The production of the first U.S. automobile in 1901 by the Ford Motor Company has revolutionized, and changed the course of the auto industry as we know today. In the beginning of its production, automobiles were considered a luxury that only the rich could afford, but today, it is viewed as a necessity that can provide consumers with the freedom to take them anywhere they choose. Henry Ford (Ford Motor Company) helped to shape the auto industry by pricing cars to be affordable, and paying his employees’ wages that would allow them an opportunity to afford to purchase the automobiles they produced. General Motors has been in the auto industry for more than one-hundred years, and has produced about 450 million automobiles worldwide. Although there has been a decline in the production of domestic and foreign automobiles by more than thirty percent in the past fifty years, General Motors way of doing business...

...Proposed Marketing Plan for Introduction of Multi-functional Remote Device of JKL Plc, UK. Section 1: Introduction and Background This report entails the development of a marketing plan for the launch of a new product, a Multi-functional Remote Device (MRD), to be presented to the Investment Committee of JKL Plc. JKL Plc is a large London headquartered multinational FMCG with operations spanning 16 countries across the world. Its turnover for the financial year ended December 31, 2010 amounted to GBP 454 million. The search for innovative products has led the company to focus on the swift technology evolution within the hospitality industry around the world. This has necessitated the accurate estimation of future developments for maximising customer satisfaction and retention. Environmental scanning and market research reveals that customers are driving the industry towards technology convergence (Bentley, 2007, p2). The hotel industry presently relies upon stand-alone modes or discrete technology application devices to fulfil customer service requirements, in areas like electronic check-in/ check-out facilities, purchase and use of in-room entertainment or even the control of room settings for different utilities and appliances that are used by the customers during their stay in the hotel. Due to the continuous nature of the service provided by the industry, it is difficult to install/ retro-fit new technologies in operational properties at reasonable cost outlays. Consequently...

...Customer Satisfaction and the Services Marketing Mix Rama Yelkur ABSTRACT. As the U.S. economy continues to shift from a manufacturing to a service orientation, it is important for marketers to understand the importance of reactively adapting to customers through the marketing concept. This manuscript deals with one aspect of that adaptive process: customer service satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to develop a model (see Figure 1) that suggests the possible effect of each individual element of the services marketing mix on the customer’s perception of the service. The customer experiences the service through the marketing mix; the critical elements in the services marketing mix that influence customer expectations being place, physical evidence, participants, and process. The customer’s experience of the service, the feelings and perceptions, have a pervasive influence on attracting new customers and retaining existing customers. The proposed model is formulated on the basis of propositions that relate marketing mix variables to the customer’s perception of service. The model incorporates customer expectations derived from his or her own experience or others’ experiences with the service, the service price relative to the price of other identical services, and the organization’s promotional methods for communicating the features of the service offered.
