Definition of Marketing
Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.
Marketing vs Sales
Marketing focuses on value and customer needs with a long-term relationship, while Sales focuses on selling existing products now, often through discounts and services.
The Four P’s of the Marketing Mix
- Product: Quality, Design, Features
- Price: List price, Discounts
- Promotion: Sales promotion, Advertising
- Place: Channels, Inventory
Customer Co-Creation of Value
Customers co-create value by using products with their own resources, knowledge, and skills. Value is created during usage, not just production.
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
The predicted value a customer generates over time. CLV considers revenue minus costs, survival rate, and discount rate.
Value Proposition vs Value Co-Creation
Value Proposition: Firms offer potential value through products.
Value Co-Creation: Value is realised by customers when using the product, based on their abilities and resources.
Importance of Customer Retention
Retaining customers is more profitable than acquiring new ones. Long-term relationships lead to higher profits, word-of-mouth, and cross-buying opportunities.
Peter Drucker on Marketing
Marketing and innovation are the two basic functions of a business. All the rest are costs.
