12. MARKETING CONCEPTS
Introduction:
What philosophy should guide a company
marketing and selling efforts?
What relative weights should be given to the
interests of the organization, the customers, ang
society? These interest often clash, however, an
organization’s marketing and selling activities
should be carried out under a well-thought-out
philosophy of efficiency, effectiveness, and socially
responsibility.

13. The Production Concept
• This concept is the oldest of the concepts in business.
• It holds that consumers will prefer products that are
widely available and inexpensive.
• Managers focusing on this concept concentrate on
achieving high production efficiency, low costs, and
mass distribution.
• They assume that consumers are primarily interested
in product availability abd low prices.
• This orientation makes sense in developing countries,
where consumers are more interested in obtaining the
product than in its features.

14. The Product Concept
• This orientation holds that consumers will favor those
products that offer the most quality, performance, or
innovative features.
• Managers focusing on this concept concentrate on making
superior product and improving them over time.
• They assume that buyers admire well-made product and
can appraise quality and performance.
• However, these managers are sometimes caught un in love
affair with their product and do not realize what the market
needs.
• Management might commit the “better-mousetrap”
fallacy, believing that a better mousetrap will lead people
to beat a path to its door.

15. The Selling Concept
• This another common business orientation.
• It holds that consumers and businesses, if left alone, will
ordinarily not buy enough of the selling company’s product.
• The organization must, therefore, undertake an aggressive
selling and promotion effort.
• This concept assumes that consumers typically show buying
inertia or resistance and must be coaxed into buying.
• It also assumes that the company has a whole battery of
effective selling and promotional tools to stimulate more
buying.
• Most firms practice the selling concept when they have
overcapacity. Their aim is to sell what they make rather
than make what the market wants.

16. The Marketing Concept
• This is a business philosophy that challenges the above three business
orientations.
• Its central tenets crystallized in the 1950s. It holds that the key to
achieving its organizational goals (goals of the selling company) consists of
the company being more effective than competitors in creating, delivering
and communicating customer value to its selected target customers. The
marketing concept rest on four pillars: target market, customer needs,
integrated marketing and profitability.
• The Marketing Concept represents the major change in today’s company
orientation that provides the foundation to achieve competitive
advantage. This philosophy is the foundation of consultative selling.
• The marketing concept has evolved into a fifth and more refined company
orientation: The Societal Marketing Concept.
• This concept is more theoretical and will undoubtedly influence future
forms of marketing and selling approaches.

17. The Societal Marketing concept
• This concept holds that the organization’s task is to determine the needs,
want, and interests of target markets and to deliver the desired
satisfactions more effectively and efficiently than competitors (this is the
original Marketing Concept).
• Additionally, it holds that this all must be done in a way that preserves or
enchances the consumer’s and the society’s well-being.
• This orientation arose as some questioned whether the Marketing
Concept is an appropriate philosophy in an age of environmental
deterioration, resource shortages, explosive population growth, world
hunger and poverty, and neglected social services.
• Are companies that do an excellent job of satifying consumer wants
nesessarily acting in the best long-run interests of consumers and society?
• The marketing concept possibily sidesteps the potential conflicts among
consumer wants, consumer interests, and long-run societal welfare.
