Furnishings retailer Restoration Hardware has unleashed a new generation of furniture where you don't just seethe furnishings, you experience them (we wanted to blur the lines between residential and retail, and to create a sense of place that is more home than store)

irritation, unfairness, deception, and fraud

Irritation • Loud, long, and insistent TV commercials • Junk mail and spam Unfairness • Taking unfair advantage of impulsive buyers (huh?) (through television shopping channels, enticing Web sites, and program-long infomercials targeting television-addicted shoppers. They feature smooth talking hosts, elaborately staged demonstrations, claims of drastic price reductions, time limitations, and ease of purchase)Deception and fraud • Investment scams or phony collections for charity • Internet fraud (phishing) (a type of identity theft that uses deceptive emails and fraudulent online sites to fool users into divulging their personal data) • Online and digital security (personal information, credit cards, etc.) (unscrupulous snoopers will eavesdrop on their online transactions and social media postings, picking up personal information or intercepting credit and debit card numbers) • Access by vulnerable or unauthorized groups (alcohol, porn) (have found it difficult to restrict access by minors)

Frequency is a measure of how many times the average person in the target market is exposed to the message) - Choosing among major media types (must consider each medium's impact, message effectiveness, and cost) (broadcast, print, outdoor, etc.) - Selecting specific media vehicles (if tv, what show? If a magazine, which magazine?) - Choosing media timing (follow the seasonal pattern - Christmas, oppose the seasonal pattern - Peeps, or be the same all year)

methods of setting the advertising budget

• Affordable Method (sets the promotion budget at the level management thinks the company can afford)• Percentage-of-Sales Method (sets the promotion budget at a certain percentage of current or forecasted sales or as a percentage of the unit sales price) (easiest method, not great!)• Competitive-Parity Method (sets the promotion budget to match competitors' outlays. It's an estimate)• Objective-and-Task Method (involves developing the promotion budget by defining specific objectives, determining the tasks that must be performed to achieve these objectives, and estimating the costs of performing these tasks. The sum of these costs is the proposed promotion budget) (I like this the best!)

creating the advertising message and content

• Breaking through the clutter (Clutter in television and other ad media has created an increasingly hostile advertising environment) • Merging advertising and entertainment (Madison and Vine) (Advertainment aims to make ads so entertaining that people want to watch them. 1. Product placement -America's Got Talent, 2. Product Integration - Wilson Volleyball that has meaning in a movie, 3. Brand integrations (or branded entertainment) involve making the brand an inseparable part of some other form of entertainment or content - Short movie or series by BMW, involving BMW at times) https://www.deptofmarketing.com/madison-vine-creation-advertainment/ • Message and content strategy (1. the general message that will be communicated to consumers 2. the advertiser must next develop a compelling creative concept—or big idea— that will bring the message strategy to life in a distinctive and memorable way) • Message execution (can be presented in various execution styles: slice of life, lifestyle, fantasy, mood or image, musical, personality, etc.) • Consumer-generated content (can incorporate the voice of the customer into brand messages and generate greater customer engagement)

• Buyers - Convenient, easy, and private - Easy buyer-seller interaction(give buyers anywhere, anytime access to an almost unlimited assortment of goods and a wealth of products and buying information) - Quick access to products and relevant information - Brand engagement and community • Sellers ‒ Low-cost, efficient, and speedy ‒ Build close, personalized, interactive, one-to-one customer relationships(companies can interact with customers by phone or online, learn more about their needs, and personalize products and services to specific customer tastes) ‒ Greater flexibility

international advertising decisions

• Degree of adaptation (most basic issue concerns the degree to which global advertising should be adapted to the unique characteristics of various country markets) • Standardization benefits- Lower advertising costs- Greater global advertising coordination- More consistent worldwide image • Standardization drawbacks- Ignores the fact that country markets differ in their cultures, demographics, and economic conditions (most international advertisers think globally but act locally)

marketing, the internet and the digital age

It uses digital marketing tools such as Web sites, online video, email, blogs, social media, mobile ads and apps) • Digital age: Changing customers' notions of convenience, speed, price, product information, service, and brand interactions (it has given marketers a whole new way to create customer value, engage customers, and build customer relationships) • Omni-channel retailing: Creating a seamless cross-channel buying experience that integrates in-store, online, and mobile shopping

Direct and digital marketing

Mobile ad spending now accounts for 70% of all digital ad spending)

consumer privacy

• Fear of invasion of privacy • Ready availability of information leaves consumers open to abuse (don't be foolish and put out your info on lots of websites, social media, etc.!)

a need for action 1/2

• Government actions - Do-not-call, do-not-mail, do-not-track online lists (DNT is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity) - Can Spam legislation (a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have you stop emailing them, and spells out tough penalties for violations) - Congressional legislation—Give more control to consumers over how online information is used - Federal Trade Commission (FTC) —Policing online privacy

a need for action 2/2

• Marketers' actions- Self-regulatory principles (call for online marketers to provide transparency and choice to consumers if Web viewing data is collected or used for targeting)- Advertising option icon (a little "i" inside a triangle, that is added to most behaviorally targeted online ads to tell consumers why they are seeing a particular ad and allowing them to opt out)- Privacy rights of children (passed in 2000 - requires online operators targeting children to post privacy policies on their sites and they must notify and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from children under age 13)

online marketing

Segmentation, Targeting, Differentiation, and Positioning Decisions (1 of 2)

• Target markets must be segmented and defined .• Retailers then decide how to differentiate and position themselves in those markets

new direct model marketing 2/2

• Most companies still use direct marketing as a supplementary channel or medium. (Macy's sell the majority of their merchandise off their store shelves, but they also sell through direct mail, online catalogs, and social media pages) • For many companies today, direct and digital marketing constitute a complete model for doing business. (For example, companies such as Priceline have built their entire approach to the marketplace around direct and digital marketing)

online advertising and email marketing

• Online advertising: Appears while consumers are browsing online (display ads, search-related ads, online classifieds, and other forms) • Email marketing: Sending highly targeted, highly personalized, relationship-building marketing messages via email - Spam: Unsolicited, unwanted commercial email messages

blogs and other online forms

• Online journals of narrowly defined topics where people and companies post their thoughts and other content - Benefits: A fresh, original, personal, and inexpensive way to enter into consumer online conversations - Limitations: Cluttered, difficult to control and largely a consumer-controlled medium

online videos

• Posting digital video content on brand Web sites or social media (YouTube, Facebook, etc.) • Viral marketing: Videos, ads, and other marketing content that customers seek out or pass along to friends (digital version of word-of-mouth marketing) (can seed content online, but that does little good unless the message itself strikes a chord with consumers) (in one simple but honest McDonald's video, the company answered an online viewer's question about why McDonald's products look better in ads than in real life by conducting a behind-the-scenes tour of how a McDonald's ad is made. The award-winning three-and-a-half-minute video pulled almost 15million views and 15,000 shares, earning the company praise for its honesty and transparency)

price decision

• Price policy must fit the retailers'- Target market and positioning- Product and service assortment- Competition- Economic factors• Retailers practice either- Everyday low pricing (EDLP) (Walmart, Costco, Family Dollar)- High-low pricing (higher prices on an everyday basis, coupled with frequent sales and other price promotions)

mobile marketing

• Promotional content delivered to consumers through their mobile devices • Engages customers anywhere, anytime during the buying and relationship-building processes (retailers can use mobile marketing to enrich the customer's shopping experience at the same time they stimulate buying) • (Macy's built its recent "Brasil: A Magical Journey" promotion around a popular and imaginative smartphone app. The campaign featured apparel from Brazilian designers and in-store experiences celebrating Brazilian culture. By using their smartphones to scan codes through out the store, shoppers could learn about featured fashions and experience Brazilian culture through virtual tours)

nature of the tool: advertising

• Reaches masses of buyers at a low cost per exposure (tv)• Builds a long-term image for a product• Can trigger quick sales• Has a public nature and is viewed as legitimate• Very expressive• Impersonal and lacks the direct persuasiveness of sales people

types of retailers

• Retailer classification can be based on - Amount of service offered - Breadth and depth of the product lines - Relative prices charged - Way they are organized

Product Assortment and Services Decision

• Retailers must determine three product variables.- Product assortment (should differentiate it while matching target shoppers' expectations)- Services mix (some retailers invite customers to ask questions or consult service representatives in person or via phone or keyboard)- Store atmosphere (create a unique store experience(lighting, sound, colors, etc.) (Atmospherics -controllable characteristics of retail space which entice customers to enter the store, shop, and purchase)

retailing trends and developments 1/4

• Tighter consumer spending- Impact of the Great Recession on consumers (2008-2009) (2020-2021) Changed spending patterns (Went to Costco, BJ's , etc.)- Impact of the Great Recession on retailers Cost-cutting, price promotions, bankruptcy New value pitches in positioning (Home Depot - More savings! More doing!)• New retail forms, shortening retail life cycles, and retail convergence(different types of retailers now sell the same products at the same prices to the same consumers. This means greater competition for retailers and greater difficulty in differentiating the product assortments of different types of retailers)
