Marketing Information System (MIS)
Usefulness of MIS: Examples The Coca-Cola Company knows that we put 3.2
ice cubes in a glass, see 69 of its commercials every year, and prefer cans to pop out of vending machines at a temperature of 35 degrees.
Hoover learned that we spend about 35 mins each week vacuuming, sucking up about 8 pounds of dust each year and using 6 bags to do so.
Consists of people, equipment, and procedures to gather, sort, analyze, evaluate and distribute needed, timely and accurate information to marketing decision makers.
MIS is developed from internal company internal company recordsrecords, , marketing intelligence activitiesmarketing intelligence activities, , marketing researchmarketing research, , and marketing decision and marketing decision support system. support system.

Research InstrumentsResearch Instruments Questionnaires
1. Closed-end questions --- dichotomous, multiple choice, Likert scale, semantic differential, importance, rating scale, intention-to-buy scale2. Open-end questions --- completely unstructured, word association, sentence completion, story completion, picture, thematic apperception test (TAT)
Mechanical instruments:Lie-detecting tools, eye camera, audiometer,etc.
Psychological tools: to probe a buyer’s deeper beliefs and feelings using psychological tool e.g., laddering techniques, depth interviews.
Qualitative measures: e.g., sending handheld videocameras into consumers’ homes

Sampling planSampling plan Sampling unit: Who is to be surveyed?
Individual, or Industrial Org, or Household ???
Sample size: How many people? Sampling procedure: How should the respondents
be chosen?
1. Probability sampling --- Simple random, Stratified random, and Cluster samples
2. Non-probability sampling ---Convenience, Judgment, and Quota samples
Contact methodContact method Mail questionnaire Telephone interview Personal interview: arranged interviews, and
intercept interviews On-line interviewing
Step 3: Collect the informationStep 3: Collect the information
This stage is most expensive and most prone to error.
Beware of 4 problems:1. Not-at-home2. Refusal to co-operate3. Biased or dishonest answers of interviewee.4. Biased or dishonest interviewer.
Step 4: Analyze the informationStep 4: Analyze the information
Extract findings from collected data. Tabulate the data and develop
frequency distribution.
Step 5: Present the findingsStep 5: Present the findings Data presented to relevant parties. Findings must be presented in a way which is relevant
to the major marketing decision
Step 6: Make the decisionStep 6: Make the decision

An Overview of Forecasting and An Overview of Forecasting and Demand MeasurementDemand Measurement
90 different types of demand estimates90 different types of demand estimates
1. Product levelProduct level (all sales, industry sales, company sales, product line sales, product form sales, product item sales)
2. Space levelSpace level (customer, territory, region,
country, world)
3. Time levelTime level (short run, medium run, long
run)
Why study those three levels? They help you make your sales (demand)
estimates. For example, NOKIA may want to forecast the sales level
of NOKIA 7650 (Product level) worldwide (Space level) in 2 years ahead (Time level).
Definitions Definitions (Which market to measure?)(Which market to measure?)
MarketMarket is the set of all actual and potential buyers of a market offer.
Potential marketPotential market is the set of consumers who profess a sufficient level of interest in a market offer( and may have enough income).
Available marketAvailable market is the set of consumers who have interest, income and access to a particular offer.

Definitions 2Definitions 2(Which market to measure?)(Which market to measure?) Qualified available marketQualified available market is the set of
consumers who have interest, income, access and qualifications for the particular market offer.
Target market (served market)Target market (served market) is the part of the qualified available market the company decides to pursue.
Penetrated marketPenetrated market is the set of consumers who have already bought the company’s product.

Questions Why does market potential curve become
straight? What does it mean by the market minimum?
Market potentialMarket potential is the limit approached by market demand as industry marketing expenditures approach infinity, for a given environment.
Base salesBase sales is the market minimum. Market sensitivityMarket sensitivity of DDof DD is the distance
between the market minimum and the market potential.

Current Demand Estimation Current Demand Estimation MethodsMethods
Chain-ratio methodChain-ratio method Market-buildup methodMarket-buildup method Multiple-factor index methodMultiple-factor index method Brand development index (BDI)Brand development index (BDI)
1. Chain Ratio Method1. Chain Ratio Method Starting from the entire population (macro
point of view) in a study area and multiply by ratios that discard non-using segment.
Example of Chain Ratio Method
Suppose we are estimating the demand for organically grown vegetables in Bangkok, assuming the price of organic vegetables is 30% higher than ordinary vegetables.Thus, the target group must have income a little higher than the average.
Demand for organically = Number of Population in Bangkok x PercentageGrown vegetables in population in Bangkok with income moreBangkok than B15,000 per month x Personal discretionary
income per capita x Avg percentage of discretionary income spent on food x Avg Percentage of food budget spent on vegetables x Avg Percentage of the amount spent on organic vegetables
2. Market Build-Up Method2. Market Build-Up Method Identifying all the potential buyers in each
market and estimating their potential purchases.
Starting from the particular area to the entire market.
Example of Example of Market Build-UpMarket Build-Up MeMethodthodSuppose you are selling metal-sheet punching and cutting machine, there are 2 markets which you can sell to:1. Electrical switchboard manufacturing sector2. Metal furniture SectorEach electrical switchboard manufacturing factory which has sales volume of less than 50 million baht per year would need one machine but that which has sales volume more than 50 million baht per year would need 2 machines.For metal furniture sector. The metal-furniture factory which has sales volume of less than 50 million baht per year would need 3 machines and those with more than 50 million of sales per yearwould need 5 machine.Find the total market potential.
Sector Annual sales No. of Firms Potential Market in million Number of Potential
Machine Soldper 1 Customer
Switchboard < 50 3 1 3>50 6 2 12
Furniture <50 6 3 18>50 12 5 60
Total 93
3. Multiple-Factor Index3. Multiple-Factor Index Buying power IndexBuying power Index is the function of:
W1 * market’s percent of segment’s effective buying income
+ W2 * market’s percent of segment’s retail sales
+ W3 *percent of Thai population in the segment
Method of finding buying power Method of finding buying power index by using multiple factorsindex by using multiple factors
An area is selected to find the buying power. 3 factors are involved:
Number of population Disposable personal income Amount of retail sales
Each factors will be assigned a weight. Multiply the weight of each factor with the
percentage of the factors in the whole country.
ExampleExample of Multiple-Index Method of Multiple-Index Method
Province %of Population %of Retail Spending %of Disposable(0.20) (0.35) Income (0.45)
A 0.08 0.04 0.02B 0.02 0.05 0.03
What is the buying power index of provinces A and B ?BPI of A = (0.2x0.08)+(0.35x0.04)+(0.45x0.02) =0.039 or 3.9%BPI of B = (0.2x0.02)+(0.35x0.05)+(0.45x0.03) =0.035 or 3.5%
If the expected market potential in Thailand is 250 million baht, based on the BPI, whatWill be the potential sales in provinces A and B ?Potential sales in Province A is = 0.039x250million = 9.75 million bahtPotential sales in Province B is = 0.035x 250million = 8.75 million baht
4. BDI4. BDI Category development index (primary demand
gap) = percentage of a product category sales(shampoo) in a market to the percentage of the population in the same market..
Brand development index (selective demand gap) = percentage of a particular branded product (Sunsilk) sales in a market to the percentage of the population in the same market.
Formulae for CDI and BDIFormulae for CDI and BDI CDI CDI = Category development index (used to
measure the potential of product category) CDI = %of product category total Thailand’s sales in that
market x 100
% of total Thailand’s population in that market
BDIBDI = Brand development index (used to measure the potential of a particular brand)
BDI = %of Brand Total Thailand’s sales in that market x 100
% of total Thailand’s population in that market
Example of BDI and CDIExample of BDI and CDI
Look at the BDI in Chiangmai.The number of Thailand’s population is 60 million and the population of Chiangmaiis assumed to be 6 million. Suppose there are 3 brands of shampoo in Thailand's market: 1. Sunsilk 2. Pantene3. ClairolThe sales of Sunsilk in Thailand is 600 million baht, out of which 30 million baht comes from sales in Chiangmai. The sales of Pantene in Thailand is 400 million baht out of whch 20 million baht comes fromsales in Chiangmai.The sales of Clairol in Thailand is 200 million baht out of which 50 million baht comes from sales in Chiangmai.What is CDICDI in Chiangmaiin Chiangmai?CDICDI = = %of product category total Thailand’s sales in that market%of product category total Thailand’s sales in that market
% of total Thailand’s population in that market% of total Thailand’s population in that market
= (30+20+50) / (600+400+200)
(6/ 60)
= 0.833 or 83.33%What is BDI of Sunsilk in ChiangmaiBDI of Sunsilk in Chiangmai ?BDIBDI = = %of brand total Thailand’s sales in that market%of brand total Thailand’s sales in that market
%of total Thailand’s population in that market%of total Thailand’s population in that market
= (30/ 600)
(6/ 60)
= 0. 5 or 50%
Other Points Regarding BDIOther Points Regarding BDI Taking the percent of segment’s particular
branded sales divided by the total percent of segment’s category sales *100
If the result (BDI) is less than 100,the brand is underdeveloped in the particular area.
If the result (BDI) is more than 100, the brand is more developed than the category.
