THE CONSUMERTHE CONSUMER

Unit 2

The ConsumerThe ConsumerA 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?

Unit 2

The ConsumerThe ConsumerIn 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?

Maslow’s Heirarchy of Needs

Unit 2

Needs and WantsNeeds and WantsIn 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.

Unit 2

Needs and WantsNeeds and WantsMarketers need to make a clear distinction between needs and wants.

Unit 2

In places with poverty, war, or oppression basic needs may not be met. Marketing focuses on meeting needs.

Unit 2

In developed countries, demand is more driven by wants. Marketing presents alternatives, and helps customers set up value equations for each.

Unit 2

Consumer DemandConsumer DemandConsumer demand changes based on economic shifts and availability of new products.

economy is stable unemployment down

demand for goods and services UPpeople will buy things they want

economy is in a slump unemployment up

demand for goods & services DOWNpeople will only buy things they need

Unit 2

Consumer DemandConsumer DemandDemand also changes based on wants, needs, or changes in perceived value. Marketers need to make decisions based on:

•educated guess, research, historic trends

Unit 2

Consumer DemandConsumer DemandDemand changes as retailers enter/exit the marketplace.

•Too many sellers of a product = demand

•As some close, less product available = demand

Unit 2

Consumer DemandConsumer DemandUnderstanding 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.

Product Life CyclesProduct Life Cycles

Unit 2

Product Life CyclesProduct Life CyclesA PLC shows changes in consumer demand over time.

•no product can be in demand forever

•trends, technology and lifestyles change, affect consumer demand

Unit 2

The traditional PLC consists of five stages.

introduction

growth

maturity

decline

decisionpoint

Unit 2

HomeworkIn your notebook summarize the five steps of the traditional Product Life Cycle.

Unit 2

Product Life CyclesProduct Life CyclesIntroduction Stage

•product is first introduced, “product launch”

•initial price is high to help recover costs•costs include:

–machinery, set-up, training, storage, promotion, packaging, research, etc.

Unit 2

•Who buys? Curious people, those who want new things first: early adopters, or trendsetters

Unit 2

•marketing:• informs the consumer about

product•quickly establishes value

equation

Unit 2

•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

Unit 2

Product Life CyclesProduct Life CyclesGrowth Stage

•others start to buy product•reputation spreads•manufacturers advertise

heavily

Unit 2

Product Life CyclesProduct Life CyclesGrowth Stagestarts where costs have been recovered, start making profit

Unit 2

•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

Unit 2

•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

Unit 2

Product Life CyclesProduct Life CyclesMarket Share Example

Coca-Cola owns

47% of the

market share

(47/100)

Company Revenue

Coca Cola $ 47.0 M

Pepsi Cola $ 46.5 M

PC Cola $ 4.5 M

MC Cola $ 2.0 M

Total $ 100.0 M

Unit 2

•factors preventing companies from realizing profit are called barriers to entry•may include: small market

size, cost of R&D, advertising, equipment...

Unit 2

•eventually only the most competitive products remain on the market

How do you compete?

Unit 2

•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)

Unit 2

Product Life CyclesProduct Life CyclesMaturity StageThe period when sales start to

level off Sal

Unit 2

Product Life CyclesProduct Life CyclesMaturity Stage

•marketers keep the brand name in front of consumers

•success and longevity of the product is highlighted

Unit 2

•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

Unit 2

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.

Unit 2

Product Life CyclesProduct Life CyclesDecline 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

Unit 2

Product Life CyclesProduct Life CyclesDecline Stage

•other methods to reverse a decline: redesigning, reformulating, repackaging

•may decide to remove the product from the market altogether

Unit 2

Product Life CyclesProduct Life CyclesDecision Point Stage

•the final stage of the PLC•marketers must make

important decisions regarding a product’s future

Unit 2

•product may be reformulated, repackaged, and reintroduced

•most often maintenance of a product involves new promotion and new pricing

Unit 2

•if there is little hope for more profit–due to market saturation, decreased demand, or otherwise–product may be abandoned

In the textbook, read pages 46 to 49 and make a summary note on Fads, Trends, Niche Markets, and Seasonal Markets. Include in your notes the diagrams on page 46.Think of additional examples for each type of life cycle.

Unit 2

FadsA product which is extremely popular for a very brief period of time, and loses popularity just as quickly.

Rubik’s cube, Cabbage Patch Kids, tamagotchi, Pet rock, “whatever”, “yadda yadda”

Unit 2

FadsFads are unpredictable, and high-risk. Companies try to get out of the market just as the fad peaks. If they wait too long, they get stuck with excess inventory.

Unit 2

Trends

Unit 2

TrendsA trend has a more lasting effect on the market than a fad. A trend is usually a movement towards a style of product.

Organic foods, Beanie babies, the Simpsons, cell phones

Unit 2

Niche Markets

Unit 2

Niche MarketsA small section of the market dominated by a small group of products.Short growth, level maturity.

The Pet Hotel, The Cambridge Times, ethnic products

Unit 2

Seasonal Markets

Unit 2

Seasonal MarketsConsumer demand changes and is effected by the weather. Marketers anticipate periods of high and low demand, and work to create off-season opportunities.Ice cream parlours, resorts, lawn mowers, snow shovels, ice skates

Unit 2

ACTIVITYACTIVITYMy FivesAt your tables, try to identify five specific products which follow each of the non-traditional PLCs. (The ones presented in class do not count!)
