AIDA framework

AWARENESS, INTEREST, DESIRE, ACTION. describes the steps or stages that occur from the time when a consumer first becomes aware of a product or brand through to when the consumer trials a product or makes a purchase decision.

important things for survey design

KISS (keep it short and simple), variety of questions, introductory message with what it's about, split into sections according to themes and most important, include don't know or N/A answers, don't ask Qs that you have the answer to, capture basic demographic info

consumer value maps

Perdue example - multiply across to determine total attitude for each feature. useful for predicting relative market shares.

media strategy 2 main issues

WHERE: selecting the medium. (efficiency, contextual fit) WHEN/HOW OFTEN: scheduling. (duplication vs. wear out, time of day/week/year)

marketing strategy main questions

asset (brand equity)

asset: brand equity is a set of brand assets linked to a brand, it's name and symbol, that add/subtract to the value of the product or service

what determines if a new product will work

attractive generally (concept testing, chain ratio concept), attractive specifically (conjoint analysis), how and when will it get there (trajectory, bass diffusion model, marketing)

how to select a target market

base on a weighted index comprising: market opportunity for profit (size, growth rate) competitive intensity (competitors' strength, underserved needs) company fit (objectives, customer base, resources)

problems with EVC...

based on life cycle cost (difficult to figure), customer differences (prefer short life and low price), convince customers (pay now, gain later!), functional & psychological benefits ignored

creative decision filters

brand filters, communication filters, campaign filters

major objectives of communication

build awareness, create associations, develop motivation to act --> build brand equity (long term), increase purchase intentions (short term)

purchase decision : step 4 of consumer purchase decision process

buying value. which alternative to choose from the consideration set? when? compensatory models are used (e.g. Fishbein's multi-attribute model).

positioning strategies

the chasm (adoption process)

from version 2. breaks up the early market and the late market. sales get stuck there, and it is unclear if they will change. derives from people-centered problems (lack of mixing between groups) and Rogers' 5 factors

things to ask about in a survey

general attitudes, trade-directed actives and retailer satisfaction, other marketing activities, does satisfaction lead to goodwill and custom?, demographics

exploratory market research key takeaways

gives you initial insights, but can't base final course of action on qualitative alone (e.g. focus groups.) shield against hypothesis guessing (people question why they're being asked something) - mask your hypothesis with neutral concepts. use "between-subjects" design.

prospect theory value function

graph of gains versus losses on x-axis and +/- value on y-axis. plot reference point and then can determine the value of loss/gain.

chain ratio method

helps you forecast how much money you need to spend to meet your marketing needs. works by multiplying a base number of chain related percentages. only an estimate of your market potential.

Interbrand's S-Curve Method

higher strength of brand, the lower the risk, the higher the brand discount rate = ability of the brand to generate future demand and reduce financial risk

5 parts of the adoption process (version 1)

innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, laggards

where seeking value comes from during stage 2 of consumer purchase decision process

internal search. external search - personal: friends, family (most influential source.) commercial: advertising, salespeople (most frequent source). public: mass media consumer-rating groups. experiential: handling, examining, using the product.)

brand filters

is the framing of the BRAND BENEFITS compelling? is expression of BRAND SYMBOLISM apt? will the ad RESONATE with the target culture?

characteristics of good segmentation

large enough (i.e. make business sense), use observable characteristics (something concrete/observable), distinctive, stable

problems in wording questions

leading questions, ambiguous questions, unanswerable questions, two questions in one, non exhaustive questions (lack other options like "where do you live?" without apartment option), non mutually exclusive answers (check your age with 20-40 and 40+ both as options).

consumer purchase decision process: MODEL 2

less structured than other model, includes loyalty loop where trigger can lead straight to moment of purchase.

information search: stage 2 of consumer purchase decision process

long list stage - seeking value. suggests criterion for purchase (e.g. all related attributes). yields possible alternatives (e.g. a long list of brands), develops value perceptions.

prospect theory

losses feel larger than gains - price increase worse than quantity decrease

new media effects

market, mission, message, media, money, measurement

why the stages of the post-purchase decision process matter

marketing actions vary depending on which stage the problem lies - corrective actions.

model of consumer behavior

marketing can entirely change the fact of similar products (e.g. toyota vs. chevy, vodka, handwashing)

4 main influences on decision process

marketing mix influence, sociocultural influence, situational influences, psychological influences

Economic Value to the Customer (EVC)

maximum price a customer is willing to pay, based on total life cost, compared to an existing or competitive products

multiple choice, numeric open ended, verbatim open ended

psychological influences on decision process

needs and motives. freud: individuals not conscious of their motives, driven by unconscious. Maslow: hierarchy of needs.

net promoter score

net promoter score (NPS) = %promoters = %detractors

consideration set stage vs. final choice stage problem

often pay less attention to specific attribute during final choice stage. tell yourself unconsciously that you already considered that attribute, so you make choice based on another.

positioning

once you have decided on a target segment, how are you going to position your product to make it appealing?

passive loyalty

open to both that brand and trying new other brands

brand cannibalization

opening stores near each other such that one destroys the other. must be wary of this when expanding/increasing foot print

demographic segmentation problem & solution

people from same demographics may exhibit very different preferences, or people from diff ones may exhibit very similar preferences. solution: add psychographic segments like values, personality, lifestyle --> cohorts > age

prospect theory example - rebates vs. discounts

people happier with rebates - seen as "bonus gain" instead of discount being seen as less of a loss

problem recognition: stage 1 of consumer purchase decision process

perceiving a need. the consumer perceives a difference between their ideal and actual situations. the difference is big enough to trigger a decision. self-generated OR prompted by marketing stimuli.

customer lifetime value

prediction of the net profit attributed to the entire future relationship with a customer

EVC is helpful for...

consumer purchase decision process 5 main steps

problem recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchase decision, post purchase behavior

three methods of product placement

product used by cast, product integrated into plot, product associated with character

4 P's

product, price, promotion, place

3 important factors of experiments

random sampling, random assignment, control all other (potentially causal) factors

behavioral pricing strategies

reducing pain of payment (mode of payment, odd-even prices, round vs. precise payments), highlighting benefits maximization (discounts vs rebates, shifting the "reference point"), the role of "fairness"

advantages of conjoint analysis

reveals what the people want. most widely-used pre-launch product design and forecasting tool. useful for any context where decision makers choose among options by considering values on different attributes.

broad trends in media

rising prices of TV ads, measurement issues, loss of control by network/TV, growing audience cynicism

STP

segmentation, targeting, positioning

segmentation

separating prospective buyers into groups such that, within a group: similarity is high, similarity between groups is low, needs are common, responses to marketing action are similar

evaluation of alternatives: stage 3 of consumer purchase decision process

short list stage - assessing value. the evaluation criterion is formed (i.e. what attributes to use). usually non-compensatory methods are used (good rating on one thing doesn't make up for bad on another.) "quick and dirty" cut-off values.

communication filters

simple, engaging, and original/creative? INTEGRATES the product into story?

inelastic demand

small change in price leads to smaller change in demand

elastic demand

small change in price produces a large change in demand

situational influences on decision process

social surroundings (number of people, kind of people, etc) and physical surroundings (ex: airport layout based off of traffic flow)

reference price

standard of comparison against which an observed price is compared

the attitude about your product = the perception that your brand possesses about the attribute multiplied by the importance of each attribute. used for purchase decisions, compensatory.

brand equity definition

the commercial value that derives from consumer perception of the brand name of a particular product or service, rather than from the product or service itself.

break-even rate of cannibalization (BERC)

the percentage of the sales volume of the new offering that could come from the existing offering without incurring a loss

customer lifetime value forumla

the total revenue you can expect to get from each customer is your average order value divided by one minus the repeat purchase rate. also = lifetime value of new customers lifetime value of existing customers - lifetime value of lost customers.

what bass model says

there is a pool of M potential adopters. some of them adopt on their own (innovators) with probability P. others are imitators, and their adoption depends on imitation rate (Q) multiplied by how many people (N) already using the product

GO signal

thought/feeling/subconscious response that creates an approach tendency and energizes the buyers towards the product (i.e. design, packing, brand name)

STOP signal

thought/feeling/subconscious response that creates avoidance tendency that inhibits considerations/purchase (i.e. risk, uncertainty, guilt)

position statement

to customers who are (target summary), our products offer (state what the product does from the consumers' point of view), relative to (competitive alternatives), because (reason to believe)

perceptual maps uses

understanding the market structure - holes in the product space, competition vulnerabilities, do we have desired position? perceptions of a new product concept, direct R&D to satisfy cutlers better.

what can customer lifetime value be used for

understanding value of customers, learning about patterns of customer behaviors, basis for "firing" customers, basis for "rewarding" customers, identify cross-selling opportunities, quantify impact of marketing actions

post-purchase behavior: stage 5 of consumer purchase decision process

value in consumption or use. cognitive dissonance: a function of expectations and experience. post-purchase communications (ads, follow-up surveys, etc.) trying to lock-in customers in terms of loyalty.

open source branding

when a brand is embedded in a cultural conversation such that consumers gain an equal, if not greater, says that marketers in what brand looks like and how it behaves
