...Evaluate the overall effectiveness of the “Fair and Square” repositioning strategy. How well or poorly do all of the elements work together or work at odds with one another to deliver a coherent whole? What elements are missing? The “Fair and Square” repositioning strategy is a value-based proposition, where J.C. Penney (JCP) is attempting to capture more value through everyday low prices (EDLP) and alter the perception of customers to see JCP as an everyday shopping experience versus a store that thrives on deals and promotions. This issue that JCP is running into is price is not a way to create value, it is a strategy to capture value. A company strategy that is focused on price neglects the value creating elements of the marketing mix that really create long-term value and success of the overall strategy. Neglecting to conduct market research to assess customers’ current perception of JCP and their thoughts on the pricing change was the first critical mistake. In terms of performance, JCP knows they are positioned between price-oriented mass merchandisers, such as Wal-Mart and Target and higher end department stores like Macy’s and Nordstrom. However,...

...What is Social Marketing? by Nedra Kline Weinreich The health communications field has been rapidly changing over the past two decades. It has evolved from a one-dimensional reliance on public service announcements to a more sophisticated approach which draws from successful techniques used by commercial marketers, termed "social marketing." Rather than dictating the way that information is to be conveyed from the top-down, public health professionals are learning to listen to the needs and desires of the target audience themselves, and building the program from there. This focus on the "consumer" involves in-depth research and constant re-evaluation of every aspect of the program. In fact, research and evaluation together form the very cornerstone of the social marketing process. Social marketing was "born" as a discipline in the 1970s, when Philip Kotler and Gerald Zaltman realized that the same marketing principles that were being used to sell products to consumers could be used to "sell" ideas, attitudes and behaviors. Kotler and Andreasen define social marketing as "differing from other areas of marketing only with respect to the objectives of the marketer and his or her organization. Social marketing seeks to influence social behaviors not to benefit the marketer, but to benefit the target audience and the general society." This technique has been used extensively in international health programs, especially for contraceptives and oral rehydration therapy (ORT), and is...

...discussing strengths and weaknesses of the RBS brand. Anna Regnante has been promoted to Domestic Brand Director’s position for Reliance Baking Soda (RBS), a market leader in the baking soda category. Reganante has to develop a 2008 budget that would result in a 10 percent increase in profit over 2007 estimates. Before she makes any decisions about her future strategies and budget, she has to study RBS’s previous marketing and promotional strategies and evaluate their positive and negative impacts on the company up to date. Stewart was founded by James Stewart Augusta who had discovered the compound of Baking soda and branded it as RBS. Baking soda was a leavening agent and had 70 percent of the market share. The introduction of new substitutes such as self-rising flour and instant cake-mixes, however, had reduced the company’s market’s importance. Apart from the baking soda market, RBS competed with many products and became well-known for its different uses as cleansers, air fresheners, and laundry detergents. In order to understand consumer’s attitude toward RBS, One survey was conducted and its result showed that the brand had high loyalty among consumers but low advertising brand recall. There are five key RBS marketing mix considerations that Regnante has to study before she makes her decision regarding the company’s future strategies. These marketing considerations are distribution, pricing, adverting, consumer promotion, and trade promotion. RBS has been highly distributed...

...Reliance About the Company: 1991, Reliance industries set up a new subsidiary, Reliance Refineries Private Ltd. The subsidiary later changed its name to Reliance Petroleum Limited, and in 1993 launched a public offering, which at that time was India's largest ever IPO. Reliance continued to pioneer financing channels in India. In 1993, for example, the company became the first Indian company to raise capital on the foreign market, through a Global Depositary Receipt(GDR) issue in Luxembtheirg. The company completed a second successful GDR issue in 1994. The company used the new capital in part to expand its petrochemicals wing, building the world's largest multi-feed cracker at the Hazira site. The company also added production plants for mono ethylene glycol, polyethylene, and purified terephthalic acid. The new units launched production in 1998.Reliance's opportunity for entry into petroleum refining came in 1997, when the Indian oil industry reached a state of near collapse. Unable to fund further exploration operations, and lacking the capital to expand its existing production, the government was forced to liberalize the sector. In that year, Reliance announced a plan to build one of the world's largest and most modern petroleum refining complexes in Jamnagar, Gujarat, at a cost of some $6 billion. The government agreed to the plan, and granted the company the right to import petroleum directly, rather than going through Indian Oil, which helped Reliance greatly drive...
