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. The second program needs to follow up the first one quickly, and take the product through the growth stage of the life cycle. This program has to continue to expand on the brand building, and get a strong follow-through on the launch. The key here is that the company needs to convince customers to drink the product regularly, and not just in a hiking context. That means that the company needs to keep the interest level high in the product. This is why the company needs to have the best…...

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). Taking this into consideration it may be suggested that the current…...

The cosmetics industry and market continually change to present players in the field with new opportunities and threats. In the context of the dynamic and competitive industry, Estee Lauder is seeking to introduce a new product line to better serve the changing needs of customers. The new product line would be sold with the Beautiful fragrance and would be distinguished by the fact that it is based on components such as antioxidants, peptides, minerals or growth hormones.

Part of the marketing program is to broaden the customer base to be more reflective of LA's total demographics. Such basic information can be collected by the intake staff, and can then be compared against data from prior to the marketing effort. If there is a specialized campaign -- say taking out ads in an ethnic newspaper -- we can track to see if there was a bump in the demographics of that group among our customers. Such direct studies can also help understand how best to reach specific target markets, especially the larger ones that can be segmented.

The major evaluative categories are profitability, productivity and efficiency. All three derive from targeting certain customer types that will help improve each of these things. Efforts in these areas can indicate successful execution of the marketing plan. That said, successful conception of the marketing plan will be measured more on whether there…...

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.

An example of how an end-cap is used to highlight a product

An end cap is a display product that is placed at the end of the aisle. An example of how an end cap can be used to highlight a product is with Coca Cola. As, this is place where they will build a creative display to capture the mood for a particular time of year (in this case it is football or Halloween). This helps Coke related products to stand out in relation to other merchandise. Once this occurs, is when consumers will choose the Coca Cola that is on display at the end of the aisle.

Attribute Analysis

The attributes of the Smart Wall are that is offers the opportunity to change the look and feel of a room with some programming, in particular a smartphone app that can activate the wall covering. The wall covering is billed as a wallpaper but it is not really that, since it is comprised of LED lights that are controllable with the app, and thereby able to change the colors and patterns of the wall, giving total flexibility for the look and feel of a space. The app will be available for both Android and Apple and will use Bluetooth to communicate with the SmartWall.

The attribute is interesting, and certainly not something that has been seen much. Thus, there is some risk here in that the market for this is not all that well-known. For example, there have been a few things with variable lighting on walls that have been…...

Any organization's marketing program must take into perspective its marketing strategy and analysis, the target marketing process, marketing planning program development, and the target market. As a person in charge establishing a marketing campaign for a product in its mature stage of the product life cycle, it is imperative that a marketing strategy is developed. The person establishing the marketing campaign has to determine the product or service area and market in which the product is to compete (Breaugh, 2011).

This is why those service providers to other businesses often stress customer results in the core industries they compete in. These customer successes show the depth of expertise in a given area. These success stories make services tangible to customers. Marketing strategies used to support this approach include the widespread use of video and interactive online materials to show the problems solved and results delivered with a service. The greatest proof point any business can have is their customer base explaining how they were able to solve a major problem or issue using the service.
