Focus on distribution. Sales Era (1925-1950s): Marketing principles. Good advertising and sales will overcome consumer resistance” (Brand image differentiation); Marketing associations & journals [problem: broad advertising not cost-effective] Marketing Era (1950s-1980s): Mass market boom! Use of behavioral and quantitative sciences. Customer is King! Find (create) a need and fill it; (market segmentation & targeting) satisfy needs! [problem: too short term & costly] Relationship/Partnering Era (1990-): Short term financial focus, downsizing, globalization, reengineering trends. Publish or perish pressure on research. Concern, trust, and investment in collaborative relationships with long term customers and competitors (e.g., Saturn owner parties, Sam’s Club memberships, etc.).
