...Consumer narratives can be found and obtained from social media, online sources and traditional news. Some examples of on line sources are Amazon, Yelp and blogs. Surveys are another mean of collecting consumer consumption information, by asking customers to elaborate on their personal experience with a product. These consumer narratives collect data provided by a consumer and most channels of collecting data provide personal unsolicited opinions. By writing a narrative a consumer is expressing the phenomenal activity of consuming a product. The consumer relates all of the products characteristics to some sort of meaning that affect their life (Holt, 1995). Research believes that pre-defined information of a product has significant affect on the view of the product further affecting the purchasing decisions of a consumer (Gräbner, Zanker, Fliedl, Fuchs, 2012). Managers can walk away with key information on their product and services. They can create a relationship and connection with the consumer by communicating through advertising and providing services which provide positive relations with the costumer. Real emotions and experiences are offered by a consumer based on the emotions triggered by the consumption of a particular product or service (Grayson, 1997). Consumer narratives tend to bias certain marketing experiences. The logical perspective of the product, advertising or service received affects the emotional outcome of the consumer (Holt, 2012). Management can...

...Product and Brand Strategies Cola Wars Continue: Coke and Pepsi in 2010 1. Why, historically, has the soft drink industry been so profitable? Coca Cola was formulated in 1886 by a pharmacist in Atlanta who started to sell it in drug stores as a ‟portion for mental and physical disorders.“ Five years later the Asa Candler acquired the formula for Coca-Cola syrup which was a well-protected secret of the company. He also granted the first bottling franchise which grew qucikly. In the following years a lot of imitations were fight agressively by court for protecting their carbonated soft-drink (CSD) with its special flavour. Later on Coca Cola was advertised as a ‟lifestyle“ product and the international business began to develop. Pepsi was founded in 1893 and they also adopted a franchise bottling system which built up a big network very quickly. About 20 years later Pepsi went bankrupt and later on they declared bankrupcy the second time. However business went on and Pepsi built up a marketing strategy ‟Twice as much for a nickel, too.“ Pepsi step for step gained market shares and became the second behind Coca Cola. The competition in the soft drink industry began to grow. The soft drink industry consists of bottlers and suppliers. One fact which supports the profitability of the soft drink industry is that there are only two relevant players Coca Cola and Pepsi who have enough power for setting rules.

...http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2003/jul/19/shopping.features 17/03/13 11.52am The card up their sleeve It sounds good - loyalty cards entitle us to freebies or cash simply for shopping at our local superstore. Of course, retailers get something in return: a heap of information about us we might prefer them not to know. That's before they get started on the new tags that track you and what you buy. Rachel Shabi investigates Every time you reach the checkout in the two biggest supermarket chains, it's the same question: have you got a card? It can get irritating, but nonetheless we have willingly signed up to their reward schemes - in droves. According to market researchers TNS, around 85% of UK households have at least one loyalty card. We've accepted the membership rules of these innocent-looking, points-mean-prizes clubs: you show us some loyalty, say the retailers, and we'll give you nice bonuses in return. That loyalty, on the face of it, is based on how much you spend with one particular retailer. Sure, the rewards aren't huge but, as Tesco likes to put it, "Every little helps." Besides which, we in the UK love bargains, and getting something for nothing even more. But the question is: how much does the nothing really cost? It is not simply a matter of choosing to be "loyal", now synonymous with "open your wallet", to one supermarket over another - the cost is in having your purchases scrutinised and analysed in staggering detail by the loyalty card retailers...

...MARKETING DIRECT (Note de curs) Conf. univ. dr. Călin Vegheş Marketingul direct poate fi definit ca un ansamblu de concepte, tehnici şi instrumente de marketing, concretizate într-un demers orientat direct, personalizat şi interactiv către consumator, urmărind generarea unei reacţii cuantificabile a acestuia (concretizată în cumpărarea unui produs sau serviciu, solicitarea unor informaţii suplimentare din partea organizaţiei, furnizarea de informaţii despre caracteristicile şi comportamentul său de cumpărare şi consum, interacţiunea cu punctele tradiţionale de marketing şi/sau vânzări ale organizaţiei) şi crearea unei platforme relaţionale de marketing pe termen lung. Instrumentele utilizate de către marketingul direct sunt în bună măsură similare celor specifice marketingului „tradiţional”, similaritatea menţinându-se şi la nivelul noţiunilor şi conceptelor de bază folosite. Concretizarea conceptelor, tehnicilor şi instrumentelor specifice o reprezintă campaniile de marketing direct, proiectate şi realizate în vederea atingerii unor obiective specifice. Este esenţială precizarea că nu se poate vorbi despre campanii-tip care să soluţioneze probleme-tip. Deşi cadrul general al acestora este comun, ceea ce le separă în mod decisiv este, dincolo de datele concrete ale fiecărei situaţii în parte, creativitatea celui sau celor care le proiectează şi le realizează, fapt care conferă acesteia o poziţie determinantă pentru succesul campaniei.
