Programs is another element of the new four Ps. The company needs to have two programs. The first is that the launch program. The company needs a strategy to bring this product to market, and it needs to have a program that will allow it to gain exposure, build a brand quickly, and get the distribution it needs to compete.

Yue Sai; Assessing Potential Marketing

Yue Sai, owned by L'Oreal, has not been performing as well as expected. Part of the issue may be related to the way that the brand has been managed and the current positioning, which maybe argued as ambiguous, there have been different approaches to marketing, and while L'Oreal have made investments in supporting the brand, they appear to have been unable to differentiate the brand sufficiently to increase sales. While it may be tempting to argue that brand should be repositioned again, given the history and the changes that have already been seen, it possible this would create consumer confusion, with memory and current messages creating a conflict and detracting from the brand. Branding can also take time to establish, especially when the message is the change or alter previous values (Kotler and Keller, 2011).

Such basic information can be collected by the intake staff, and can then be compared against data from prior to the marketing effort.

Place

Starbucks can be left without profits if it markets its products in the wrong locations. Place is the sites at which the company avails its products. This includes channels of distribution from the distribution point to the end customer. Starbucks attempts to minimize the distance customers have to move to the point where the product is sold. This is followed by targeting the appropriate target market before making decisions on how the products will be availed to them. For instance, because Starbucks is selling trendy food products, opening stores in rural areas will not bring any profits. They must take their products to locations where youthful people tend to hangout such as malls and multiplexes. This is the only way for them to gain maximum attention from the target market (Haberer, 2010).

Moreover, Starbucks must develop a pattern of being alert to offer the ease of shopping. When Starbucks diagnosed their….

Marketing stimulus constantly surrounds consumers. It is prevalent throughout much of the traditional forms of media with respect to print, television and radio. As such, due to the overall ubiquitous nature of advertising, ads that are often very well planned, do not receive the attention they should otherwise warrant. This occurs due to a litany of factors. Many of these factors pertain the nature of advertising itself. The sheer number of advertisements can be overwhelming for the average consumer. Studies have proven that a consumer needs roughly 7 views of a particular ad to simply remember the product or service. However, these 7 views must occur in the context of many thousands of ads that present themselves daily. Therefore the competition for a share of the consumers mind is tough given the circumstances prevailing today.

The app will be available for both Android and Apple and will use Bluetooth to communicate with the SmartWall.
