Introduction to Marketing
What is marketing?

o Goals

Marketing Process
o Create value for customers and build relationships

much
Step 2. Design a customer-driven marketing strategy

markets and building profitable relationships with them
o Target Market: What customers will we serve?
o Value Proposition: How can we best serve these customers?

segments of customers (e.g. SES)

2b. How then can we best serve these customers?
o You can’t please everybody. You can’t serve them equally
well.
o Choosing a value proposition: A set of benefits or values a
company promises to deliver customers to satisfy their
needs; why buy your brand rather than a competitors?
Customer-relevant: explains how your product
solves customers’ problems or improves their
situation
Quantified value: delivers specific benefit/s
Uniquely differentiated: tells the ideal customer
why they should buy from you and not from the
competition
Example: Uber “tap the app, get a ride”, iPhone
