TEST TIME Marketing Knowledge: Strategic assumptions Test Agree, Disagree, Don’t Know?

1. Differentiating our brand is a vital marketing task.
2. Loyalty metrics reflect the strength not the size of our brand.
3. Customer retention is cheaper than customer acquisition.
4. Price Promotions boost penetration not loyalty.
5. Who we compete with depends on the positioning of our brand image. 6. Mass marketing is dead and is no longer competitive.
7. Buyers have a special reason to buy our brand.
8. Our consumers are a distinctive type of person.

9. 20% of our customers deliver at least 80% of our sales.

The Need for Evidence based-Marketing

If you answered Yes, to most of these, you are operating under false assumptions

Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned” Mark Twain (1898)

It’s not what you don’t know that will hurt you, it’s what you know that ain’t so.” Sam Walton

How Brands Grow: What Marketers Don’t Know

Growth in market share comes by increasing popularity; that is,
By gaining more buyers (of all types) most of whom are light customers Who buy the brand only occasionally.

Brands even though they are slightly differentiated, mainly compete As if they are near look-a-likes; but vary in popularity
(and hence market share).

Brand competition and growth is largely about building two market-based Assets; Physical availability and mental availability. Brands that are easier

to buy- for more people in more situations- have greater market share. Innovation and differentiation (when they work) build market-based

Assets, which last after competitors copy the innovation.

A List of Marketing Laws

Double Jeopardy Law –brands with less MS have fewer buyers that are slightly less loyal Pareto Law (60/40)- all brands lose some buyers, loss is proportional to market share Law of Buyer moderation-in future time periods heavy buyers, buy less Natural Monopoly Law –Brands with more MS attract light category buyers

User bases seldom vary –rival brands sell to very similar customer bases
Attitudes and brand beliefs reflect behavioral loyalty- customers know and say more about

brands they use and say little about those they do not
Usage drives Loyalty Buyers of different brands express very similar attitudes about their brands

Law of Prototypicality- Image attributes that describe a product are better than those that do not. Duplication of Purchase laws Brands customers bases overlap w/MS NBD-Dirichlet- mathematical model of purchase probabilities

Blurring of Channels

The expansion of the food department in non-traditional channels has given grocery shoppers considerably more options on when and where they shop.

  • –  Consumers no longer have to rely on local grocery store for fresh & organic

  • –  Non-traditional channels are now stocking up on a large assortment of fresh & convenience foods

  • –  Online retailers give consumers 24/7 access, & brick-and- mortar channels are quickly joining in with delivery or pick-up services, increasing the overall attractiveness of this channel.
