Market
Development
www.studyMarketing.org
•
•
The firm seeks to achieve growth with
existing products in their current market
segments, aiming to increase its market
share
Effective when the market is growing or not
yet saturated
The firm seeks growth by targeting its
existing products to new market segments
Effective when a local or regional business
looks to wider its market, new market
segments are emerging due to changes in
consumer life-style/demographics, and
innovative uses are discovered for a mature
product

existing products to new market
segments
•
Diversification is utilized so that the
firm does not become overly dependent on one product line

Market Segmentation
Market
Segment
The division of a market into
different homogeneous groups of
consumers
Should be:
• measurable
• accessible by communication and distribution
channels
• different in its response to a marketing mix
• durable (not changing too quickly)
• substantial enough to be profitable
www.studyMarketing.org
12
Types of Market Segmentation
Geographic
Based on regional variables such as
region, climate, population density, and
population growth rate.
Demographic
Based on variables such as age, gender,
ethnicity, education, occupation, income,
and family status

Products : Types of Goods
Convenience
Goods
Types of
Goods
Shopping
Goods
Specialty
Goods
www.studyMarketing.org
17
Convenience Goods
•
Those purchased with a minimum of effort,
because the buyer has knowledge of
product characteristics prior to shopping
•
The consumer does not want to search for
additional information (because the item
has been bought before) and will accept a
substitute rather than have to frequent
more than one store
Convenience
Goods
www.studyMarketing.org
18
Convenience Goods
•
Staples are low-priced items that are
routinely purchased on a regular basis,
such as detergent, milk, and cereal
•
Impulse goods are items that the
consumer does not plan to buy on a
specific trip to a store, such as candy, a
magazine, and ice cream
•
Emergency goods are items purchased out
of urgent need, such as an umbrella during
a rainstorm, a tire to replace a flat, or
aspirin for a headache
Convenience
Goods
www.studyMarketing.org
19
Shopping Goods
Shopping
Goods
www.studyMarketing.org
•
Those for which consumers lack
sufficient information about product
alternatives and their attributes, and
therefore must acquire further
knowledge in order to make a
purchase decision
20
Shopping Goods
•
For attribute-based shopping goods,
consumers get information about and then
evaluate product features, warranty,
performance, options, and other factors.
The goods with the best combination of
attributes is purchased. Sony electronics
and Calvin Klein clothes are marketed as
attribute-based shopping goods
•
For price-based shopping goods,
consumers judge product attributes to be
similar and look around for the least
expensive item/store
Shopping
Goods
www.studyMarketing.org
21
Specialty Goods
Specialty
Goods
www.studyMarketing.org
•
Those to which consumers are brand
loyal.
•
They are fully aware of these products
and their attributes prior to making a
purchase decision.
•
They are willing to make a significant
purchase effort to acquire the brand
desired and will pay a higher price than
competitive products, if necessary.
•
For specialty goods, consumers will not
make purchases if their brand is not
available. Substitutes are not
acceptable.

•
The producer and his or her services are often
inseparable
•
The perishability of services prevents storage and
increases risks
•
Service quality may be variable

Idea
Generation
Product
Screening
www.studyMarketing.org
•
A continuous, systematic search for new
product opportunities
•
It involves delineating sources of new
ideas and methods for generating them
•
After the firm identifies potential
products, it must screen them
•
Many companies use a new-product
screening checklist for preliminary
evaluation
30
Screening Checklist
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NEW PRODUCTS
Profit potential
Existing competition
Potential competition
Size of market
Level of investment
Patentability
Level of risk
MARKETING CHARACTERISTICS OF NEW PRODUCTS
Fit with marketing capabilities
Effect on existing products (brands)
Appeal to current consumer markets
Potential length of product life cycle
Existence of differential advantage
Impact on image
Resistance to seasonal factors
PRODUCTION CHARACTERISTICS OF NEW PRODUCTS
Fit with production capabilities
Length of time to commercialization
Ease of product manufacture
Availability of labor and material resources
Ability to produce at competitive prices
www.studyMarketing.org
31
New Product Planning
•
Concept testing presents the consumer with
a proposed product and measures attitudes
and intentions at this early stage of
development
•
Concept testing is a quick and inexpensive
way of measuring consumer enthusiasm
•
Business analysis for the remaining product
concepts is much more detailed than product
screening
•
Because the next step is expensive and timeconsuming product development, critical use
of business analysis is essential to eliminate
marginal items

33
New Product Planning
•
Product development converts a product idea
into a physical form and identifies a basic
marketing strategy
•
It involves product construction, packaging,
branding, product positioning, and attitude and
usage testing.
•
Test marketing involves placing a product for
sale in one or more selected areas and
observing its actual performance under the
proposed marketing plan.
•
The purpose is to evaluate the product and
pretest marketing efforts in a real setting prior to
a full-scale introduction
34

New Product Planning
•
After testing is completed, the firm is ready
to introduce the product to its full target
market. This is commercialization and
corresponds to the introductory stage of the
product life cycle
•
Commercialization involves implementing a
total marketing plan and full production

and devise an ad
Specify the
location of an ad
(media placement)
Outline a promotion

www.studyMarketing.org
Choose how many
variations of a
basic message to
utilize
39
Things to Consider in Advertising
Waste is the portion of an audience that is
Waste
not in a firm's target market. Because
media appeal to mass audiences, waste
is a significant factor in advertising.
Reach refers to the number of viewers or
Reach
www.studyMarketing.org
readers in the audience
40
Things to Consider in Advertising
Frequency
Frequency is how often a medium can be
used. It is greatest for newspapers, radio, and
television, where ads may appear daily and
advertising strategy may be easily changed
Message
permanence
Message permanence refers to the number
of exposures one advertisement generates
and how long it remains with the audience
www.studyMarketing.org
41
Things to Consider in Advertising
Persuasive
impact
Clutter
www.studyMarketing.org
Persuasive impact is the ability of a medium
to stimulate consumers. Television often has
the highest persuasive impact because it is
able to combine audio, video, color, animation,
and other appeals.
Clutter involves the number of ads that are
contained in a single program, issue, etc. of a
medium. Clutter is low when a limited number
of ads is presented and high when many ads
are presented.

Sales Promotion Advantages
•
It helps attract customer traffic and maintain brand or store
loyalty
•
Quick results can be achieved
•
Some forms of sales promotion (calendars, t-shirts. Pens,
etc) provide value to the consumer and are retained by
them; and these forms can provide a reminder function
•
Impulse purchases can be increased through in-store
displays
www.studyMarketing.org
50
Sales Promotion Disadvantages
•
The image of the firm may be lessened if it continuously runs
promotions. Consumers may view discounts as representing a
decline in product quality and believe the firm could not sell its
offerings without them.
•
When coupons, rebates, or other special deals are used
frequently, consumers may not make purchases if the items are
sold at regular prices. Instead, they will stock up each time there
is a promotion.
www.studyMarketing.org
51
Sales Promotion Disadvantages
•
Sometimes sales promotions shift the focus away from the
product onto secondary factors. Consumers may be attracted by
calendars, coupons, or sweepstakes instead of by product
quality, functions, and durability. In the short run this generates
consumer enthusiasm. In the long run this may have adverse
effects on a brand's image and on sales, because a productrelated differential advantage has not been developed.

Distribution Planning
•
Distribution planning is systematic decision making
regarding the physical movement and transfer of
ownership of a product from producer to consumer.
•
It includes transportation, storage, and customer
transactions.
•
Distribution functions are carried out through a channel of
distribution, which is comprised of all the organizations or
people involved in the process.
•
These organizations or people are known as channel
members or middlemen.

60
Consumers and Price Decisions
•
The relationship between price and
consumer purchases and perceptions is
explained by two economic principles —
the law of demand and price elasticity of
demand
•
The law of demand states that consumers
usually purchase more units at a low price
than at a high price
•
The price elasticity of demand defines the
sensitivity of buyers to price changes in
terms of the quantities they will purchase
Consumers
www.studyMarketing.org
61
Consumers and Price Decisions
Elastic
Demand
In-elastic
Demand
www.studyMarketing.org
•
Elastic demand occurs if relatively small changes in
price result in large changes in quantity demanded
•
Numerically, price elasticity is greater than 1
•
With elastic demand, total revenue goes up when
prices are decreased and goes down when prices
rise
•
Inelastic demand takes place if price changes have
little impact on quantity demanded
•
Price elasticity is less than 1
•
With inelastic demand, total revenue goes up when
prices are raised and goes down when prices decline
62
Consumers and Price Decisions
Unitary
Demand
www.studyMarketing.org
•
Unitary demand exists if changes in price are
exactly offset by changes in quantity demanded,
so that total sales revenue remains constant.
•
Price elasticity is 1
63
Competitors and Price Decisions

www.studyMarketing.org
•
Characterized by prices set by the

66
Channel Members and Price Decisions
•
A wholesaler or retailer can gain stronger
control over price by stressing its importance as
Channel
Members
a customer to the manufacturer, refusing to
carry unprofitable product, stocking competitive
items, and developing strong dealer brands so
that consumers are loyal to the seller and not
the manufacturer
•
Sometimes retailers engage in selling against
the brand, whereby they stock merchandise,
place high prices on it, and then sell other
brands for lower prices. This is often done to
increase the sales of their own brands
www.studyMarketing.org
67
Channel Members and Price Decisions
•
Channel

To ensure channel member cooperation with
price decisions, the manufacturer needs to
consider four factors: channel member profit
margins, price guarantees, special deals, and
