The Nature of Marketing Research Marketing research is one of the principal tools for answering questions because it: Links the consumer, customer, and public to the market through information used to identify and define marketing Generates, refines, and evaluates marketing actions Monitors marketing performance Underlines the understanding of marketing as a process

Marketing Research Types Basic Research Applied Research

Basic Research Attempts to expand the limits of knowledge Not directly involved in the solution to a pragmatic problem

Basic Research Example Do consumers experience cognitive dissonance in low-involvement situations?

Applied Research Conducted when a decision must be made about a specific real-life problem

Applied Research Example Should McDonalds add Italian pasta dinners to its menu? Marketing research told McDonald’s it should not. Should McDonald’s add a “Whopper Stopper” burger to its menu? The MBX is now being researched.

Scientific Method The analysis and interpretation of empirical evidence (facts from observation or experimentation) to confirm or disprove prior conceptions

Marketing Concept Central idea in Marketing Evolved over time Not Production-Oriented Marketing-Oriented

Marketing Concept Consumer Oriented Long Run Profitability Cross-Functional Effort

Keeping Customers and Building Relationships RELATIONSHIP MARKETING - the idea that a major goal of marketing is to build long-term relationships with the parties who contribute to the company’s success. Marketers want customers for life. Managing the relationships that will bring about additional exchanges

Stages in Developing and Implementing a Marketing Strategy Identifying and evaluating opportunities Analyzing market segments and selecting target markets Planning and implementing a marketing mix Analyzing market performance

Analyze Market Segments and Select Target Markets Examples: Cadillac investigates buyers’ demographic characteristics MTV, monitoring demographic trends, learns the Hispanic audience is growing rapidly Sears learns women, age 25-54 with average household income of $38,000, are core customers. Targets this market with “softer side of Sears.”

Plan and Implement a Marketing Mix Price: Safeway does a competitive pricing analysis Distribution: Caterpillar Tractor Co. investigates dealer service program Product: Oreo conducts taste test, Oreo cookie vs. Chips Ahoy Promotion: How many consumers like “Always Coca Cola!” slogan?

Analyze Marketing Performance This year’s market share is compared to last year’s. Did brand image change after new advertising?

Performance-Monitoring Research Research that regularly provides feedback for evaluation and control Indicates things are or are not going as planned Research may be required to explain why something “went wrong”

Determining When to Conduct Marketing Research Time Constraints Availability of Data Nature of the Decision Benefits versus Costs

Do Not Conduct Marketing Research Determining When to Conduct Marketing Research Time Constraints Availability of Data Nature of the Decision Benefits vs. Costs Is sufficient time available? Information already on hand inadequate? Is the decision of strategic or tactical importance? Does the information value exceed the research cost?
