Marketing

Marketing is often confused with sales or with advertising but it is these and much more. Marketing is a complete process within the business which includes:

• finding out what the customer wants – this is called "market research” and involves finding out what types of products are wanted (product policy) and what prices consumers are prepared to pay
• helping to produce the right product at the right price
• persuading customers to buy the product – by means of advertising and packaging.
• transporting the product to the customer in the most confenient and efficient way which means distribution

The easiest way to remember what marketing is all about is to remember what the marketing people call the marketing mix, i.e. the four Ps:

• product
• price
• promotion
• place

Product

Product involves decisions about the product’s quality its style and design, the branding policy (what to call it and how to ensure that customers recognize the brand name), how to package it and what guarantees to offer.

Price

Price means the need to set not only the price itself but also any discounts which might be given and any allowances permitted e.g. $50 for your old cooker when you buy a new one.

Promotion

Marketing involves the choice of how the product is promoted – the advertising and the publicity it is given.

Place

Place refers to how the product is distributed and through what types of shop or other organizations.

7. Прослушать аудиофрагмент «How sell». Ответить на вопросы.

Let us talk about how companies can sell their products. There are two things that the company will talk about. The first thing is the features of the product. Features are things about the product which may be good and useful for the customer. Let’s talk about computers. The features of the computer are 15 inch screen, 200 gygabite hard drive, your DVD drive, some software. Those are features. Computer companies are always talking about features because people want features.

What are the features of the computers?

But often salespeople won’t focus on features, but they will focus on benefits. The benefits are how the features will help me, how the product will help me, what it will do for me. For example, the benefits of the computer are that it is fast, it saves you time, it is very light, so it is easy to transport, it has a 3-year warranty, so you don’t have to worry about it. The software will help you work faster, and get more customers or something. Those are the benefits. Features and benefits are two different things.

What are benefits of the computer?

When the salesperson is talking to the customer or the company is designing the product they do needs assessment (выяснение потребностей). Assess means to understand. Needs are what I need. So they are looking to see what the customer needs. The company which designs computers will do needs assessment. The customer needs 100 gygabites at least of space, they need it to run fast, they need a battery for at least 2 hours, they need a wireless internet. These are needs. The computers are designed to fill those needs. Salespersons tell their stories to fill these needs.

Give examples of needs? 

What is a sales pitch (коммерческая цель – обрисовать достоинства товара), or a value message? These are words that a salesperson will use to try to get you to buy their product. They will say: "You should buy this product because it will save your money and make you more competitive than your competitors. If you buy quickly, you’ll have an advantage over your competitors. Or, if you buy this software – it is only 100 dollars, but you’ll save 200 dollars every month. That gives value. So that’s a value message.

What do usually salespersons say when they want to sell goods to you?
