INTRODUCTION
Organizations earn revenues and generate profits by offering products and services.
These are both individual customers and organizations. Profits are generated when the products
offered by the organization are purchased and paid by the customer. Money is the typical mode
of payment. Without Marketing, most businesses may cease to exist and may not be able to
sustain their operations. For this reason, marketing is often referred to as the “lifeblood” of every
business.
MARKETING
Marketing for profit aims to increase sales of products or services while marketing for
non-profit purposes aims to communicate messages for social purposes. The American
Marketing Association defines marketing as “the activity, set of institutions, and processes for
creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value customers,
clients, partners, and society at large”.
According to Philippine Marketing Association, marketing is a science and a profession
guided principally by the universal principles of ethics, corporate citizenship, and corporate
social responsibility. Marketers must avoid offering products and services that may be harmful to
one’s health and well-being or promote violence and immorality.
Products or services that serve no purpose or contribute nothing to individual and societal
well-being should not be marketed.
GOALS OF MARKETING
The goals of marketing can be summarized as follows:
1. Understand the market and it’s customers and satisfy their changing needs and wants.
2. Introduce and innovate products and services that improve human condition and the
quality of life.
3. Design and implement effective customer- driven marketing strategies.
4. Develop marketing programs that deliver superior value to consumers.
5. Build and maintain mutually beneficial and profitable customer relationships.
6. Capture customer value to create profits.
7. Promote value transactions with full regard to society’s well-being.
THE MARKETING PROCESS
MARKETING PRODUCTS
Products or goods are physically tangible items. As such, they are generally perceivable
by the human senses and can, therefore, be inspired prior to purchase.
Product Levels
Formal Products
This level includes factors that could effectively differentiate automobiles manufactured
by one company over manufactured by others with same core or generic function.
Example:
Car manufacturers incorporate unique styling into their automobile models, utilize
different hood and grill designs, and others.
Augmented Products
These are certain types of products/goods, particularly those that are very expensive and
have long service lives. An augmented product is necessary in the case of products/goods, such
as condominium units. Motor vehicles, and major household appliances.
Classification of products/goods
Products that are marketed can be generally classified according to use, differentiation,
type, and durability.
According to Use: Consumer and Industrial Goods
Consumer goods are goods that are purchased for consumption.
Industrial goods are purchased in order to make other goods, to serve as a raw material
or input in the production of other goods.
MARKETING STRATEGIES
What is more difficult to market, PRODUCTS or SERVICES?
Services are generally considered more difficult to market due to it’s four major attributes:
• Intangibility
Services are intangible. This is the first reason that makes the marketing of services
difficult.
1. Primary Demand
It refers to the total demand for all brands of a particular product or service.
2. Selective Demand
It is the demand for a specific brand of product or service.
3. Potential Demand
It was defined when there is no demand yet for a particular product/service, but there
exists a market with sufficient financial capability to purchase.
4. Latent Demand
It results when customers in a market are unable to satisfy specific desires because there
is no product/service in the market that can satisfy them.
5. Current Demand
It is define as the number of people of a particular market at present that would actually
purchase the product or service offered.
COMPETITION
A competitor is any company in an industry or a similar industry that offers a similar
product or service.
LEVELS OF COMPETITION
A firm’s competition can be classified either as a desire, generic, form, or brand
competitor.

3. Marketing involves, among others, “the delivery of value to consumers”. However, the value a
consumer places on a particular product or service is subjective. If you are a marketer, how can
you increase your customer’s assessment of your product/service? Use a product of your choice
as an example.
