In fact, the buying process is starting as needs, wants. And finally, a demand. Needs is a problem that the consumers seeks a solution. For example, feeling hungry. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. On the bottom of the pyramid, needs must be satisfied or for the other ones. On the top. We have physiological needs like food and water, safety needs like security, belongingness, and love such as relationships, esteem needs, and self actualization. On the top. Once I preferred means of satisfying needs, I'm feeling hungry. Want peak demand when it neither rises whilst group up and then follows the demand situation where an individual has the need for a product and the means to pay for it. The second key concept is marketing offers. The offer stands for a product or service that keys are to the need of the customer.

Extraneous purchases may be driven by a need to display one's social status or in response to an emotion like sadness or Borden. So people are only, that's fine. They're hidden needs. Types of buying decision. Buying decision behaviour can be classified into four different categories.

Before please make up a typical marketing mix, price, product, promotion, and place. However, nowadays the marketing mix increasingly includes several other herpes like packaging, positioning, people, and even part x as vital mix elements. What are the four P's of marketing? The finishing that many marketers learned as they start out in the industry is putting the right product indirect place at the right price. Either right, sorry. The four P's of marketing as a model of enhancing the components of your marketing mix. The way in which you take a new product or service to market, helps you to define your marketing options in terms of price, product, promotion, and place, so that you're offering meets a specific customer needs or demand. 9. The 4Ps: Product: Product. The term productive refers to tangible, physical products as well as services. Products, or the goods and services that your business provides for sale to your target market. All products follow a logical product life cycle and it is vital for our marketers understand a blend for the various stages and their unique challenges. The benefits offered by the product and all its features need to be understood and the unique selling proposition of the product needs to be identified and understood. When developing a product, you should consider quality, design, features, packaging, customer service, and any subsequent after-sale service. Brand. A brand is a name, term, the design, assemble, or any other feature that identifies one sellers, good or service as this thing, it's from those other cylinders. You can consider a brand as the idea or image people have in mind when thinking about specific products, services, and activities of a company, both in a practical and emotional way. Criteria for any minute brand, the name of a brand must necessarily respond to the following criteria. Easy to spell and say, having a potential to be memorable.

Package labeling is in a written, electronic or graphic communication on the package or on a separate associated level. 10. Product Life Cycle: Product life cycle. The product life cycle has four very clearly defined stages. Introduction stage. The stage of the cycle could be the most expensive for a company launching a new product. On this stage, sales are low or the cost can be very high. Growth stage. The growth stage is typically characterized by strong growth in sales and profits, while the cost is almost 50 per cent. Maturity stage. During the maturity stage, the product is established and aim for the manufacturer is not to maintain their market share. They have built up decline stage. Eventually the market for a product will start to shrink. And this is known as the decline stage. This shrinkage good reduces the market becoming saturated, where all the customers who will buy the fertile have already the worksheets are because the consumers are switched into a different type of product. While this decline may be inevitable, if may still be possible for companies, make some profit by switching to less expensive production methods and cheaper markets. 11. The 4Ps: Price: Price. Price concerns the amount of money that customers must pay in order to purchase your products. How product is priced will directly affect how it's Hills. This is linked to the perceived value of the product. Is that the customer written than an object they've gotten on the product on offer. Therefore, imperative for the customer to see what you are selling. There is a positive customer value. A project may be sex fleet, priced higher than its object if monetary value, universally, if a product has little value in the eyes of the customer, then it may need to be under price to sell. There are a number of considerations in relationship price, including price it in discounting, credit and cash purchases, as well as credit collection. Price may also be affected by distribution in plants, value chain costs and markups, and how competitors price, arrival product, price it in methods. There are several methods of pricing products in the market. While selecting the method of fixing prices, a marketer must consider the factors affecting pricing. The pricing methods can be broadly divided into two groups, because oriented admitted and market oriented method. In this video, we would suggest only two simple ways of cost oriented methods. Cost oriented methods. One, cost-plus pricing. Cost-plus pricing involves adding a certain percentage to cost in order to fix the price. For instance, if the cost of a product is $200 per unit and the marketer expects ten per cent profit on costs, then the Southern price will be $220. The difference between the selling price and cost. The profit is emitted is sampler as marketers can easily determine the costs and other certain percentage arrive at the selling price. To markup pricing. Markup is the moon by which the cost of a product is increased. In order to derive the selling price. Firms that use cost oriented methods use markup pricing.

Reinforce the brand, and further string, then it's placed in the market. Some types of promotional strategies, push strategies. This is when the product is taken to the customer by the company. This is mostly used when the product is an impulse purchase or if the company has an established relationship with the customer base.

How our product is accessed by the end user also needs to compliment the risks of products such that g, place and distribution intermediaries, manufacturer, person, group, or firm that makes the product. Wholesaler, buys large quantities of a product from manufactures and sells it to retailers. Wholesalers sell goods to other businesses. You don't sell directly to consumers. Retailers, organization that sells products directly to consumers and end-users. They are selling to consumers for personal use. The guests are usually sold in small quantities. Place and distribution strategies. There are three most common distribution strategies. Intensive distribution. Use gamma Alyssa distribute low price products for impulse purchases. For example, snacks such as chocolate, soft drinks. I'm curious. Exclusive distribution involves limit in distribution to a single outlet. The product is usually highly priced and requires intermediary to place much detail in itself. An example of would be the sale of vehicles. They'll exclusive dealers. Selected distribution. A small number of retail outlets are chosen to distribute the product. Selected distribution is coming with products such as computers, televisions, household appliances, where customers are willing to shop around and we're manufacturers. Also large geographical spread. 14. Final Thoughts: Hello. This is the last video in this class. Although it seems that listens are a little bit separated, but it's actually not.
