The “face, personality and spirit” of your company and products (all marketing mix variables) should blend together to present a unified message. Note that an IMC plan is NOT a marketing plan.

Customers Under marketing concepts of Philip Kotler (Marketing Management, Defining marketing for the 21st century, Philip Kotler), customers are determined as people who purchase product and they may or may not use that product for themselves. Besides, Kotler states that customers are centred instead of products. The company...

...Marketing may be described as a process where goods and services transcend to the customer from concept. This usually involves the elements of marketing being well coordinated. This starts with the development of a product that has been identified and selected, price determination, channel selection and implementation of the promotional strategy. New Apple products, for instance, are developed to include advanced application and systems, set at different price depending on how much capability the customer desires and sold at locations where other Apple products are sold. It is paramount that marketers identify the needs of the customer and the challenges that arise without such needs and sell not just a product, but the solution to their dilemmas. In a globalized and highly competitive world, successful marketing gyrates around a quality customer experience. A connection must occur between the customer and product. This where they are able to comprehend the solutions the product possesses. Marketers are able to yield this connection by understanding the needs of the customer and being able to covey them successfully in order to earn the trust of the customer. The Apple Watch developers seem to have understood this by creating a gadget that makes iPhone customers less socially awkward while giving them the motivation to keep moving through the fitness apps (Chowdhry, 2015). However a service encounter or any interaction between a consumer and sales attendant may not be needed...

...htm IMR 24,1 The fundamentals of standardizing global marketing strategy Nanda K. Viswanathan Delaware State University, Dover, Delaware, USA, and 46 Received February 2004 Revised February 2006 Accepted February 2006 Peter R. Dickson Florida International University, Miami, Florida, USA Abstract Purpose – To examine issues of standardization and adaptation in global marketing strategy and to explain the dynamics of standardization. Design/methodology/approach – This is a conceptual research paper that has been developed based on gaps in prior frameworks of standardization/adaptation. A three-factor model of standardization/adaptation of global marketing strategy was developed. The three factors include homogeneity of customer response to the marketing mix, transferability of competitive advantage, and similarities in the degree of economic freedom. Findings – The model through the use of feedback effects explains the dynamics of standardization. Research limitations/implications – Future research needs to empirically test the model. To enable empirical validation, reliable and valid measures of the three factors proposed in the model need to be developed. Additionally, the model may be used in future research to delineate the impact a variable may have on the ability of a firm to follow a standardized global marketing strategy. Practical implications – The three-factor model aids decisions relating to standardization in a global marketing context. Originality/value...

...What is the relationship between marketing and the fundamental theory of exchange? To understand the relationship between marketing and the fundamental theory of exchange, one must define the two separately to know the benefit of them together. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines marketing “as the process or technique of promoting, selling, and distributing a product or service.” (1) With any business, one must have this skill to be able to promote the goods or service that they wish to sell to the public. In relation to the fundamental theory of exchange an article written by a grad student from Illinois State University wrote about the fundamental theorem of exchange, "One of the most important principles of economics is the Fundamental Theorem of Exchange: ... trade is mutually beneficial. Voluntary exchange increases [net benefits] for all parties involved." (2) For one to have a truly successful relationship between these two they need to have an understanding on what they are selling. The worst thing a consumer wants when they go to a store or shop is for the salesman helping them to not know anything about what they are talking about. With being in retail for the majority of my life I have come to know that just a small portion of consumers know what they want when they walk into a store. It is the job of the salesman to use his, “promoting, selling, and distributing” skills to be able to secure a successful transaction of exchange between the consumer and the...

Research In order for McBride to have a successful marketing plan it will have to start off with a little research into the areas around each section of the business. "Lenski says some clients find their niche first by focusing on the areas in which they already have a strong interest, or by looking at markets that already know about you and your services. Then, look for areas of the marketplace where a gaping need exists that you can fill with your company's services(Donnelly, 2011)." One thing that McBride will have to research into is information on the supply and demand for housing in the locations. Following the...

...Lakeisha Riley 7/6/15 ES2560 Unit 4 Assignment 1: Marketing & the Economy: Critical Thinking Pepsi's Latest Ad Campaign Has Little to Do With Soda Pepsi wants to sell you a feeling, with a little soda on the side. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the soda giant's famous "Pepsi Challenge" campaign, which asked people to do a blind taste test to see if they preferred Pepsi or Coke. To celebrate, the company is re-launching the challenge, complete with celebrities like Usher and Serena Williams, as well as Vine and Snapchat sensation Jerome Jarre. But instead of picking Pepsi or Coke, the new campaign asks fans to take part in sports, tech, and design and music challenges. The modernized challenge isn’t completely devoid of images of Pepsi cans, and there will be a taste test component in some markets. But the ad push centers largely around creating an emotional connection with the Pepsi brand and less on lauding the taste of its cola. A new Pepsi ad released as part of the challenge. The can dispenses emoji’s instead of soda. That's because the company's ethos is about more than just a bubbly drink, said Brad Jakeman, the president of PepsiCo's Global Beverages Group. “This is a brand that has stood next to major cultural moments all around the world; it’s a brand that always operates in the consumer zeitgeist,” Jakeman said. “The brand is much bigger than a product concept, and actually that has allowed us to do a lot of interesting things with this brand...

...Describe the important Internet properties that affect marketing and the fundamental changes the Internet has brought to marketing. According to Strauss and Frost (2009), the Internet properties have affected the way marketing should be done and delivered to the consumers. Internet data is sent in bits and not in atoms – all the data and information are being stored and sent to the consumers in digital form. The digital form cannot be touch, tasted or smelled. In contrast to other types of marketing, the seller does not need to deliver the items itself for inspection by the consumer before it is being purchased. 1. Internet is a mediating technology – anywhere in the world, music and other data is being passed on and shared. This encourages communication for businesses in a supply chain. 2. Internet encourages global reach - regardless of location, the internet is accessible to all. Businesses can be conducted globally easier while encourages worldwide partnership and products distribution even better than before. 3. Internet works as network externality – target markets are being reached easily and faster with automated communication. 4. Internet is a time moderator – time is a valuable essence where consumers would expect faster service as in the communication with the company itself and faster feedback response. 5. Internet is an information equalizer – information on the product is easily accessible to consumers via the internet, therefore consumers have better access...

...Running Head: COMPANY VALUATION Company Valuation [Name of writer] [Name of institute] Company Valuation Introduction This is the case of a partnership business, Midwest Lightning Inc. (MLI) partnered between two entrepreneurs Jack Peterson and David Scott. Over the years these two partners have developed differences, which have escalated to the point of separation. Hence, in this assignment we are going to provide solution that would be required as the partnership culminates. Overview of the case The partners of the company Midwest Lightning have over the years developed differences and they are now at complete 180 degrees when it comes to their views about the business. The solution that has been suggested is that the partnership should end as the differences have become irreconcilable. In the course of separation, various issues have now arisen, regarding the valuation of the company and how much worth each partner should be accrued in the event of separation. 1) Evaluation of the company-Buy and Sell bids Allen Burke, the accountant of Jack Peterson and David Scott suggested a bid agreement. The agreement finalised was that both owners had agreed on the signing of a mutual buyout agreement. The agreement mentioned that the owners were to submit a secret bid in relation to what the other owner’s half of the business should be. The partner that would offer the maximum price would then buy out the share of other partner. A minimum...

...shares are sold (back-end load), or as long as the fund is held by the investor (level-load). If a fund limits its level load to no more that 0.25% (the maximum is 1%), it can call itself a "no-load" fund in its marketing literature. Expenses – The expense ratio is the annual fee that all funds or ETFs charge their shareholders. It expresses the percentage of assets deducted each fiscal year for fund expenses, including 12b-1 fees, management fees, administrative fees, operating costs, and all other asset-based costs incurred by the fund. The expense ratio, which is deducted from the fund's average net assets, is accrued on a daily basis. Turnover – The percentage of a mutual fund or other investment vehicle's holdings that have been "turned over" or replaced with other holdings in a given year. The type of mutual fund, its investment objective and/or the portfolio manager's investing style will play an important role in determining its turnover ratio. All things being equal, investors should favor low turnover funds. High turnover equates to higher brokerage transaction fees, which reduce fund returns. Also, the more portfolio turnover in a fund, the more likely it will generate short-term capital gains, which are taxable at an investor's ordinary income rate. Fundamental Analysis – A method of valuing securities such as stocks and bonds that attempts to discover their true value (intrinsic value) by examining related economic and financial factors. Debt Load - The amount of...
