Explain market offerings and marketing myopia.

-Consumers' needs and wants are fulfilled through market offerings — some combination of products, services, information, or experiences offered to a market to satisfy a need or a want. Market offerings are not limited to physical products. They also include services — activities or benefits offered for sale that are essentially intangible and do not result in the ownership of anything. Examples include banking, airline, hotel, retailing, and home repair services. -Many sellers make the mistake of paying more attention to the specific products they offer than to the benefits and experiences produced by these products. These sellers suffer from marketing myopia. They are so taken with their products that they focus only on existing wants and lose sight of underlying customer needs. They forget that a product is only a tool to solve a consumer problem.

Define customer equity, and explain why it is important to a company.

Customer equity is the sum of the lifetime values of all the current and potential customers of a company. Customer equity is dependent upon customer loyalty from a firm's profitable customers. Because customer equity is a reflection of a company's future, companies must manage it carefully, viewing customers as assets that need to be maximized. It is important that companies not only acquire customers but also keep and grow them. When companies create profitable customers, they earn a greater share of their purchases, and capture their customer lifetime value.

Aim of customer relationship management is to create not just customer satisfaction, but customer delight as well. explain.

Customer satisfaction cannot be taken for granted. Since brand loyalty is dependent upon strong customer satisfaction, companies strive to retain, satisfy, and even delight current customers. Firms create customer delight by promising only what they can deliver and then delivering more than what they promise. Delighted customers make repeated purchases and become customers for life.

briefly explain the societal marketing concept

The societal marketing concept questions whether the pure marketing concept overlooks possible conflicts between consumer short-run wants and consumer long-run welfare. Is a firm that satisfies the immediate needs and wants of target markets always doing what's best for its consumers in the long run? The societal marketing concept holds that marketing strategy should deliver value to customers in a way that maintains or improves both the consumer's and society's well-being.
