1. Negative Demand consumer dislike product and
may even pay a price to avoid it. The marketing

philosophies?

Philosophies

Philosophies
Selling Concept
Marketing Concept
1. Production Concept holds that
consumers will prefer products that are
widely available and inexpensive.
Therefore, management should focus on
improving production and distribution
efficiency.
Focused on high production efficiency, low
cost and mass distribution.
Useful in/if :
competition is weak . Demand
exceeds supply
Developing countries, where customers
are more interested in product rather
then features.
generic products competing on price
narrowly
Poor quality, no customer satisfaction,
focused market.
2. Product Concept holds that consumers
will favor products that offer the most in
quality, performance, and innovative
features. Thus, an organization should
devote energy to make continuous product
improvements.
A General Motors executive said years ago:
“ How can the public know what kind of car
they want until they see what is available?”
But A new or improved product will not
necessarily be successful unless the
product is priced, distributed, advertised
and sold properly
Product oriented companies often design
products with no or very little consumer
input. They give more importance to
products rather then consumers.
3. The Selling Concept holds that consumers
will not buy enough of the firm’s products
unless it uses a large-scale selling and
promotion effort. The concept is typically
practiced with unsought goods those that
buyers do not normally think of buying,
such as insurance or blood donations,
encyclopedias, fund-raisers, college
admissions offices and by specially
political parties etc.
Coca-cola’s VP said “ The purpose of
marketing is to sell more stuff to more
people more often for more money in
order to make more profit”.
Their aim is to sell what they make rather
than make what the market wants
4. The Marketing Concept holds that
achieving organizational goals depends
on knowing the needs and wants of target
markets and delivering the desired
satisfactions better than competitors do.
Under the marketing concept, customer
focus and value are the paths to sales
and profits.
Marketing concept is a customer-centered
“sense and respond” philosophy. It views
marketing not as “hunting,” but as “gardening.”
The job is not to find the right customers for your
product, but the right products for your
customers
The marketing concept starts with a well-defined
market, focuses on customer needs, and
integrates all the marketing activities that affect
customers. In turn, it yields profits by creating
long-term customer relationships based on
customer value and satisfaction.
5. The Societal Marketing Concept holds that
the organization should determine the needs,
wants, and interests of target markets. It
should then deliver superior value to
customers in a way that maintains or
improves the consumer’s and the society’s
well-being.

It questions whether the pure marketing
concept overlooks possible conflicts
between consumer short-run wants and
long-run welfare of consumer and society.

The fast food industry offers tasty but
unhealthy food with high fats, salts starch.
The products are wrapped in convenient
packaging, but this leads to waste and
pollution. Thus, in satisfying short-term
consumer wants, the highly successful
fast-food chains may be harming
consumer health and causing
environmental problems
6. Holistic Marketing Concept is based on
development, design and implementation
of marketing programs, processes and
activities that recognizes their extent and
interdependencies. It holds that
“everything matters" in marketing and a
broad an integrated perspective is often
necessary.
Integrated Marketing Communication
a. Relationship Marketing has aim to build
mutually satisfying long-term relationship
with key parties like customers, suppliers,
distributors etc. for making a strong
marketing network.
b. Integrated Marketing Activities to create,
communicate and deliver value to
customers through diversified set of
integrated activities eg. 4 P’s of Marketing,
communication mix, offering mix etc.
c. Internal Marketing It ensures that every
one in the organization embraces
appropriate marketing functions like
sales force, advertising, customer
service, product management, marketing
research, hiring, pricing etc.
d. Social Responsibility Marketing
Understanding social, ethical,
environmental & legal concern of society.
