Prof. Myles Bassell (4) - Five Key Activities in Marketing, Advertising, High Involvement, Low Involvement
The next Marketing activity is to identify a concept. And once we identify and develop a concept then we're gonna determine a price that the customer is willing to pay.
So far we have three activities
- identify an unmet need
- develop a concept
- determine a price that the customer is willing to pay.
- number four is to gain distribution
- and five is to build awareness
And importantly what we want to do is get distribution first, before we start to advertise. We should have the product available before we start to advertise. Because what we want to do is Not spend a lot of money on advertising. And then have the customer go into the store and then find out that the product is not available.
In some Industries it's common to create some hype where the product is not available and that's intentional to create this image of scarcity. And sometimes that makes a product more desirable. But we have to determine whether or not the category is one that's prone to high involvement or low involvement purchases. So if it's a high involvement purchase then people will go back but in some categories it's low involvement and if you go there and they don't have the product then you might leave and you may not come back and what that means is we have to spend more money on Advertising to get people to go back into the store to search for the product. So it's always better to have distribution first.
Kegiatan pemasaran berikutnya adalah mengidentifikasi sebuah konsep. Dan begitu kita berhasil mengidentifikasi dan mengembangkan konsep, kita akan menentukan harga yang bersedia dibayar oleh pelanggan.
Sejauh ini, kita memiliki tiga kegiatan:
- Mengidentifikasi kebutuhan yang belum terpenuhi
- Mengembangkan konsep
- Menentukan harga yang bersedia dibayar oleh pelanggan
- Nomor empat adalah memperoleh distribusi,
- dan nomor lima adalah membangun kesadaran.
Yang penting juga, yang ingin kita lakukan adalah memastikan distribusi terlebih dahulu, sebelum mulai melakukan iklan. Kita harus memastikan produknya sudah tersedia sebelum kita mulai beriklan. Karena yang ingin kita hindari adalah menghabiskan banyak uang untuk iklan, lalu pelanggan datang ke toko dan menemukan bahwa produk tersebut belum tersedia.
