Chapter 1 Marketing: Managing profitable customer
relationships
Marketing: The process by which companies create value for customers and build strong customer
relationships in order to capture value from customers in return

Steps of the marketing process:

1) Understand the marketplace and customer needs and wants
2) Design a customer-driven marketing strategy
3) Construct a marketing programme that delivers superior value
4) Build profitable relationships and create customer delight
5) Capture value from customers to create profits and customer quality

Needs: Basic part of the human make-up (e.g. food)

Wants: They are shaped by one’s society and are described in terms of objects that will satisfy needs
(e.g. fries)

Marketing myopia: Being obsessed with your own product, without looking at customers need
(Near-sightedness)

Marketing management: Choosing target markets and building profitable relationships with them

Marketing management orientations:

 Production concept: It holds that customers will favour products that are available and
highly affordable

1

,  Product concept: Customers will favour products that offer the most in quality, performance
and innovative features
 Selling concept: Customers will only buy if enough products are sold with a enough
promotion effort
 Marketing concept: Knowing the needs and wants of the target markets and delivering the
desired satisfactions better than competitors do
 Societal marketing concept: It questions whether the pure marketing concept overlooks
possible conflicts between consumer short-term wants and consumer long-term welfare.
There are three considerations underlying:
o Society (human welfare)
o Consumers (Want satisfaction)
o Company (Profits)

Customer relationship management (CRM): Managing detailed information about individual
customers and carefully managing customer ‘touch points in order to maximise customer loyalty,
using the corporate memory about past transaction and interactions.

Partner relationship management: In order to bring more value to customers, it’s important that
marketers partner with others inside and outside the company

Customer lifetime value: Marketers want to ‘own’ customers for a lifetime

Customer equity: The sum of the combined discounted customer lifetime values of all the company’s
current and potential customers

Customer relationship groeps:

 Butterflies: High profit potential and a short-term costumer
 True friends: High profit potential and a long-term customer
 Barnacles: Low profitability and a long-term customer
 Strangers: Low profitability and a short-term customer

organization’s goals and capabilities and its changing markets opportunities

Marketing segmentation: The process of dividing a market into distinct groups of buyers who have
different needs, characteristics or behavior and who might require separate products or marketing
programmes. Customers in a market segment will respond in a similar way to a given set of
marketing efforts

Target marketing: Evaluating each market segment’s attractiveness and selecting one or more
segments to enter

Market positioning and differentiation: Arranging for a product to occupy a clear, distinctive and
desirable place relative to competing products in the minds of the target consumers

Marketing mix: The 4 P’s (and the 4 C’s):

objective
