End of the Mass Markets
Will Database marketing replace Mass marketing?
It is in the process just as we speak!
- 70s, only high-end retailers and personal-service firms
with personal selling and index-card files
- 80s, as the mainframe computer became more
practical, airlines got into the act with a proliferation
of their frequent flyer programs.
- 90s, bookstore chains, supermarkets, warehouse
clubs, and restaurants tracked individual purchase
transactions to build their "share of the customer.“
- Nowadays, everyone is doing it with the virtually
unlimited options, including on-site interactivity,
Web site connections, fax-response, E-mail, and
interactive television, mobile phones you name it...
1-10
The Near Future…
• Very soon real-time interactivity with television sets
and through the Internet.
• In ten years;
– individuals will interact with their television and / or
computer simply by speaking to it.
– The computer will remember your transactions
and preferences, getting smarter and smarter
about finding just the right entertainment,
information, products, and services.
– That same computer will also be able to anticipate
what you might want, while being careful to protect
you from commercial intrusions you don't find
relevant or interesting.
1-11
There is no longer a single mass market!
Because the lifestyles have changed so
dramatically.
Some of the important demographic shifts
have been:
– Increasing diversity of the population.
– Changing family and living patterns.
– Nearly all of today's children grow up in a
world of divorce and working mothers.
1-12
In Sum,
The need for market analysis and
marketing decision-making, and
managers to perform those tasks, has
never been greater.
But, as the course will demonstrate, the
complexities of, and analytical tools
required for, these activities have never
been greater.
Be prepared for a challenging experience.
