Multinational Firm

• Views the world as consisting of unique parts and markets to each part differently. • Employs a multidomestic marketing strategy — have as many different product variations, brand names and advertising programs as countries in which they do business. - Example: mr clean in mexico, spain, us, france, etc.

Brand purpose

the reason why a brand exists, the place it has in consumers' lives, the solution it provides to consumers and the brand's role in making society better off.

Organizational Markets - Reseller markets

wholesalers and resellers who buy physical products and resell them again without any reprocessing

Market Segmentation

• Aggregating prospective buyers into groups, or segments, that 1) have common needs and 2) will respond similarly to a marketing action. • Leads to product differentiation — a strategy of using different marketing mix actions, such as product features and advertising, to help consumers perceive the product being different and better than competing products.

Personas

• Character descriptions of a brand's typical customers. • Bring target market data alive by creating fictional character narratives, complete with image, in one-page descriptions or snapshots that capture the personalities, values, attitudes, beliefs, demographics and expected interactions of a typical user with a brand.

Step 4: Develop Findings

• First, analyze the data. • Cross tabulation (or cross tabs): a method of presenting and analyzing data involving two or more variables to discover relationships in the data. • Example: Wendy's could pair the age of the head of household with how often the respondent eats at a fast-food restaurant. • You want to make sure you have established these parameters during the survey design phase. • Next, present the findings.

Writing a Positioning Statement

• For [target audience] who [need], [brand] is a [product category] that offers [key benefits]. • Example: For upscale American families, who desire a carefree driving experience, Volvo is a premium-priced automobile that offers the utmost safety and dependability.

2 Approaches to Product Positioning

• Head-to-head positioning: directly competing with competitors on similar product attributes in the same market. • Example: Dollar Rent a Car vs. Avis vs. Hertz. • Differentiation positioning: seeking a less-competitive, smaller market niche in which to locate a brand. • Example: Whole Foods vs. large supermarket chains.

Perceptual Maps

• Identify the important attributes for a product or brand class. • Discover how target customers rate competing products or brands with respect to these attributes. • Discover where the company's product or brand is on these attributes in the minds of potential customers. • Reposition the company's product or brand in the minds of potential customers.

3 Types of Global Companies

• International firm. • Multinational firm. • Transnational firm.

Step 5: Take Marketing Actions

• Make action recommendations. • Implement the action recommendations. • Evaluate the results.

Step 1: Define the Problem

• Measures of success: criteria or standards used in evaluating proposed solutions to the problem. • Exploratory research: provides ideas about a vague problem or question. • - Example: LEGO wanted to know if middle schoolers would be overwhelmed by 500 pieces for its MINDSTORMS product and lose interest. • Descriptive research: tries to the find the frequency with which something occurs or the extent of a relationship between two factors. - Example: LEGO tested two MINDSTORMS kits with middle schoolers and high schoolers. • Causal research: tries to determine the extent to which the change in one factor changes another one. - Example: LEGO tweaked key pieces in the MINDSTORMS kit to make the product usable faster.

4 Main Brand Strategies Multiproduct branding Multibranding strategy Private branding strategy Mixed branding strategy

• Multiproduct branding = a company uses one name for all its products in a product class. • Example: Microsoft. • Multibranding strategy = a company gives each product a distinct name. • Example: Frito-Lay has Doritos and Tostitos. • Private branding strategy = a company manufactures products but sells them under the brand name of a wholesaler or retailer. • Example: Costco's Kirkland. • Mixed branding strategy = a company markets products under its own name(s) and that of a reseller because the segment attracted to the reseller is different from its own market. • Example: Whirlpool sells appliances under its own name and reseller names.

3 Types of Buying Situations

• New buy. • Straight rebuy. • Modified rebuy.

Product class VS Product Form

• Product class = the entire product category or industry. • Example: Prerecorded music. • Product form = variations of a product within the product class. • Examples: Cassette tapes, compact discs, digital music downloading, streaming.

Product positioning & Product repositioning

• Product positioning: the place a product occupies in consumers' minds based on important attributes relative to competitive products. • Product repositioning: changing the place a product occupies in a consumer's mind relative to competitive products.

The Buying Center

• Several people in an organization who participate in the buying process. • These individuals share common goals, risks and knowledge important to a purchase decision.

Step 2: Develop the Research Plan

• Specify constraints — restrictions placed on potential solutions. • Identify the data needed for marketing actions — data that will help make a clear choice (not just nice-to-know information). • Determine how to collect the data — two key elements to consider: - Concepts: ideas about products or services. -Methods: approaches that can be used to collect data to solve all/part of a problem.

Market Research

• The process of defining a marketing problem and opportunity, systematically collecting and analyzing information, and recommending actions.
