THE CONSUMER CHAPTER 2

THE CONSUMER A consumer is the person who uses the product. A customer is the person who buys the product. Wouldn’t this be the same person? Some examples when they are not? BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 3
4
THE CONSUMER In the case of a parent or guardian of a child, the parent is considered a gatekeeper—a person who oversees the care of another. Marketers attempt to appeal to the gatekeeper as well as the consumer. Why? BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 4

NEEDS AND WANTS In our society, most people do not have difficulty satisfying needs. Wants are items not necessary for survival, but add pleasure and comfort to our lives. BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 6

NEEDS AND WANTS Marketers need to make a clear distinction between needs and wants. why? BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 7

NEEDS AND WANTS In places with poverty, war, or oppression basic needs may not be met. Marketing focuses on meeting needs. BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 8
9
NEEDS AND WANTS In developed countries, demand is more driven by wants. Marketing presents alternatives, and helps customers set up value equations for each. BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 9

CONSUMER DEMAND Consumer demand changes based on economic shifts and availability of new products. BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 10 economy is stableunemployment down demand for goods and services UP people will buy things they want economy is in a slumpunemployment up demand for goods & services DOWN people will only buy things they need
11
CONSUMER DEMAND Demand also changes based on wants, needs, or changes in perceived value. Marketers need to make decisions based on: educated guess, research, historic trends BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 11
12
CONSUMER DEMAND Demand changes as retailers enter/exit the marketplace. Too many sellers of a product = demand As some close, less product available = demand BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 12
13
CONSUMER DEMAND Understanding fluctuations in consumer demand is essential to marketing. Because of this, marketers also use product life-cycle models to predict the life of new products. BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 13
14
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES
15
A PLC shows changes in consumer demand over time. no product can be in demand forever trends, technology and lifestyles change, affect consumer demand BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 15
16
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES The traditional PLC consists of five stages. BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 16 introduction growth maturity decline decision point
17
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Homework In your notebook summarize the five steps of the traditional Product Life Cycle. BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 17
18
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Introduction Stage product is first introduced, “product launch” initial price is high to help recover costs include: machinery, set-up, training, storage, promotion, packaging, research, etc. BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 18
19
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Introduction Stage Who buys? Curious people, those who want new things first: early adopters, or trendsetters BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 19
20
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Introduction Stage marketing: informs the consumer about product quickly establishes value equation BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 20
21
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Introduction Stage some businesses arrange consignment deals: allow retailer to return unsold product after a period of time some manufacturers pay a shelf allowance for prime shelf space BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 21
22
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Growth Stage others start to buy product reputation spreads manufacturers advertise heavily BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 22
23
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 23 Growth Stage - starts where costs have been recovered - start making profit
24
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Growth Stage the faster a product reaches the growth stage, the sooner it makes profit product may be scrapped if unsuccessful if it is and it has lost money, it is called a bust BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 24
25
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Growth Stage first company to enter a market pays the most for R&D and advertising, but has no competition as competitors enter, they fight for market share: percentage of the total market BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 25
26
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Market Share Example Coca-Cola owns 47% of the market share (47/100) BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 26 CompanyRevenue Coca Cola$ 47.0 M Pepsi Cola$ 46.5 M PC Cola$ 4.5 M MC Cola$ 2.0 M Total$ 100.0 M
27
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Growth Stage factors preventing companies from realizing profit are called barriers to entry may include: small market size, cost of R&D, advertising, equipment... BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 27
28
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Growth Stage eventually only the most competitive products remain on the market How do you compete? BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 28
29
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Growth Stage a company may produce low-end products to establish minimum prices and validate expensive products not sold under a well-known brand name (ie. Panasonic makes Techniks and Quasar) BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 29
30
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 30 Maturity Stage The period when sales start to level off
31
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Maturity Stage marketers keep the brand name in front of consumers success and longevity of the product is highlighted BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 31
32
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Maturity Stage since major costs have been recuperated and costs are low, products usually make large profits during this stage company takes this profit to develop new products BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 32
33
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Maturity Stage EXAMPLES: Sony took the money from producing Walkmans and put it into developing Discmans. Disney took profits from its amusement parks to launch a cruise ship line. This also expands their brand name into a new market. BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 33
34
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Decline Stage company cannot find new consumers for their product profits decrease; marketers try to find the reason for decline if it is a temporary decline, it may be reversed by a small price change, or new ad BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 34
35
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Decline Stage other methods to reverse a decline: redesigning, reformulating, repackaging may decide to remove the product from the market altogether BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 35
36
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Decision Point Stage the final stage of the PLC marketers must make important decisions regarding a product’s future BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 36
37
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Decision Point Stage product may be reformulated, repackaged, and reintroduced most often maintenance of a product involves new promotion and new pricing BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 37
38
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES Decision Point Stage if there is little hope for more profit–due to market saturation, decreased demand, or otherwise–product may be abandoned BMI3C Unit 2 Slide 38
