Notes:
The commercial growth of the Internet began in the mid-1990s. In fact, in early 1995, the entire Internet could have been stored on fewer than fifty compact discs.
Today, Dell Computer sells over $1 million worth of computer equipment every day on the Internet, and IBM purchases over $6 billion in goods and services annually through Internet connections.
Business marketing on the Internet offers tremendous opportunities, such as those described by the bullet points shown on this slide.
Over 80 percent of all U.S. companies with five thousand or more employees have an Internet presence.

Relationship marketing has become an important business marketing strategy as customers have become more demanding and competition has become more intense. Building long-term relationships with customers offers a way to build competitive advantage.

Strategic Alliance 3
A cooperative agreement between business firms (strategic partnership).
Notes:
Businesses form strategic alliances to leverage the assets they have (such as technology, financial resources, market access) by combining these assets with those of other firms.
Strategic alliances may be formed to achieve economies of scale.
Strategic alliances may take the form of licensing or distribution agreements, joint ventures, research and development consortia, and partnerships.

Keiretsu 3
A network of interlocking corporate affiliates.
Notes:
The concept of strategic alliances has been used in foreign cultures, such as Mexico, China, Japan, and Korea, for a long time.
For example, in Japan the basis of exchange between firms is personal relationships that are developed through indulgent dependency. Relationships between companies can develop into a keiretsu—a network of interlocking corporate affiliates.
Members of a keiretsu trade with each other and often engage in joint product development, finance, and marketing activity.
Many American firms have found the best way to compete in Asian countries is to form relationships with Asian firms.

Exhibit 5.4 shown above demonstrates the six-digit classification system for two NAICS sectors: manufacturing and information. The first two digits designate a major economic sector. The third digit designates an economic subsector. The fourth digit designates an industry group. The fifth digit designates the NAICS industry. The sixth digit identifies subdivisions of NAICS industries that accommodate user needs in individual countries.

Valuable tool for marketers in analyzing, segmenting, and targeting markets
Data can be used to determine:
Number, size, and geographic dispersion of firms
Market potential / market share estimates
Sales forecasts
Notes:
The information shown on this slide describes the usefulness of NAICS for marketers.
For example, if a supplier understands the needs of a few firms within a classification, the needs can be projected to all firms in the category. This information can be converted into market potential, market share estimates, and sales forecasts.
Discussion/Team Activity:
Discuss how NAICS information can be used for other marketing applications.

Notes:
The main differences between business and consumer markets are summarized on this slide and in Exhibit 5.5.
The first characteristic demand is described on the next slide.
Purchase volume: Business customers buy in larger quantities than consumers.
Number of customers: Business marketers have fewer customers than consumer marketers. An advantage is that it is easier to identify buyers, monitor customer needs, and build personal relationships. A disadvantage is that each customer becomes crucial, especially for those manufacturers who have only one customer.
Location of buyers: Business customers are more geographically concentrated than consumers. For example, many firms in the automobile manufacturing industry are clustered near Detroit.
Distribution structure: Business products typically have shorter channels of distribution, and direct channels are common. On the other hand, consumer products pass through a distribution system that may include the producer, the wholesaler(s), and the retailers.
Nature of buying: More people are involved in a business market purchase decision than in a consumer purchase. Representatives from quality control, marketing, finance, and purchasing may be grouped in a buying center.
Type of negotiations: Consumers are used to negotiating price on items like real estate and automobiles, although in most cases, however, the sellers set the price and other conditions of sale. In contrast, negotiation is common in business marketing decisions and may take months to work out the final contracts.
Use of reciprocity: Business purchasers often choose to buy from their own customers. It is not unethical or illegal unless the exchange is coerced.
Use of leasing: Businesses commonly lease expensive equipment to reduce capital outflow, keep state of the art products, and gain tax advantages.
Primary promotional method: Business marketers emphasize personal selling, especially for expensive, custom-designed products.

22. Demand in Business Markets

Demand in Business Markets 6
Demand is...
Description
Derived
Demand for business products results from demand for consumer products
Inelastic
A change in price will not significantly affect the demand for product
Joint
Multiple items are used together in final product. Demand for one item affects all
Fluctuating
Demand for business products is more volatile than for consumer products
Notes:
Business demand is different from consumer demand in the following areas:
The demand for business products is derived demand, meaning that organizations buy products to be used in producing customer products. As a result, business marketers must carefully monitor trends and patterns in final consumer markets as well as customers’ forecasts.
Inelastic demand is demand without regard to price. An increase or decrease in the product price will not significantly affect the demand for the product.
Joint demand occurs when multiple items are used together in a final product. Consequently, a demand change for one product will affect the other products as well.
Fluctuating demand: The demand for business products tends to be more unstable than the demand for consumer products. A small increase or decrease in consumer demand can produce a much larger change in demand for the facilities and manufacturing equipment needed to make the consumer product. This is known as the multiplier effect.
Discussion/Team Activity:
1. Discuss examples of products that describe each of the demand differences in business markets.

Notes:
Major equipment: capital goods such as large or expensive machines, airplanes, buildings. Depreciated over time, often custom-designed. Personal selling is an important marketing strategy.
Accessory equipment: Less expensive and shorter-lived than major equipment, includes fax machines, personal computers, power tools. Often charged as an expense. Often standardized and purchased by more customers. Advertising is an important promotional tool.
Raw materials: Unprocessed products, such as minerals, lumber, wheat, corn, fish. Become part of finished products. Personal selling is the marketing mix component used, distribution channels usually direct from producer to business user.
Component parts: Finished items ready for assembly or that need very little processing. Examples are tires and electric motors. Two important markets for component parts: original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and replacement market.
Processed materials are used directly in manufacturing other products. Sheet metals, chemicals, and lumber. Do not retain their identity in final products. Price and service are important factors in choosing a supplier.
Supplies are consumable items that do not become part of the final product. Short lives and inexpensive. Generally fall into categories of maintenance, repair, or operating supplies (MRO), and include such items as detergents, pencils, paper, etc.
Business services are expense items that do not become part of the final product. This includes janitorial, advertising, legal, and maintenance services.
