Marketing Science
Marketing is a science because marketing is about understanding and
influencing behaviors., the psychology, and how people react to certain
stimuli in predictable ways.
This is similar to Newton's' third law - cause and effect. For every marketing
action there is a reaction. The science is in anticipating the reactions to your
actions.
Marketing is a science because marketing is about measuring and analyzing
the numbers. How many prospects do you reach? How many people read
your message? How many do you convert to buyers? How much do they
spend? How many buy again? These are mathematical questions and
answers and important to the success of your marketing. Math and
accounting are important sciences to your business.

Marketing Art
Marketing is art because marketing is about creating a demand for your
product. Some of that demand is immediate and some of it is in the future.
One can try to use science to predict the future part but have pick a number
based on art. There is always an unknown aspect that we attribute to art.
Marketing is an art because marketing is about appreciating the nuances of
human behaviors.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty is art. Marketing is an art
because there is the issue of branding which is difficult to measure. To
generate a good return on your marketing investment requires a creative
approach. That means that you need to apply the art of marketing. That is
difficult to measure but it is necessary.

Difference Between Sales and Marketing.
Sales and marketing are closely interlinked and
are aimed at increasing revenue.
Once the product is out in the market, it is the
task of the sales person to persuade the
customer to buy the product. Well, sales means
converting the leads or prospects into purchases
and orders.

Marketing and sales are two different things that are
part of a company’s strategy. Sales is quite straight
forward. It incorporates actually selling the company’s
products or service to its customers.
Whereas, marketing has a much bigger scope; it
incorporates how a company places itself in the
market and in the eyes of its customers and potential
customers. It also incorporates what products the
company sells. In short, marketing ensures that sales
take place; that the customers are confident enough
to buy from the company. Hence, it can also be said
that sales is in fact a part of marketing.

of a product or service to customers, so that the
product or service sells. Marketing is the first and the
broadest step to make sales effective. Its job is to

Marketing Management Philosophies
There are five marketing concepts. A company
should choose the right one according to their and
their customers’ needs.
Production Concept
Product Concept
Selling Concept
Marketing Concept
Social Marketing Concept
42. Ravindra_pujari@yahoo.com
Cell 9303239020
Production Concept
Increase in the production of the product makes the companies get the
advantage of economies of scale. This concept works on an
assumption that consumers prefer a product which is less-expensive
and widely available.
This view point was encapsulated in says law which states ‘Supply
creates its own demand’. Hence companies focus on producing
more of the product and making sure that it is available to the
customer everywhere easily.
Low price may attract new customers, but the focus just on production
and not on the product quality may hamper sales. This may result in a
decrease in sales, if the product is not up to the standards.
43. Ravindra_pujari@yahoo.com
Cell 9303239020
Product Concept
This concept works on an assumption that customers
prefer products of ‘greater quality’ and ‘price and
availability’ doesn’t influence their purchase decision.
Hence company devotes most of its time in developing a
product of greater quality which usually turns out to be
expensive. Since the main focus of the marketers is the
product quality, they often lose or fail to appeal to
customers whose demands are driven by other factors like
price, availability, usability, etc

Selling Concept
Production and product concept both focus on production
but selling concept focuses on making an actual sale of
the product. Selling concept focuses on making every
possible sale of the product, regardless of the quality of
the product or the need of the customer. The main focus is
to make money.
Companies following this concept may even try to deceive
the customers to make them buy their product.
Companies which follow this philosophy have a short
sighted approach as they ‘try to sell what they make
rather than what market wants’.

Marketing Concept
Selling concept cannot let a company last long in the market.
To succeed in the 21st century, one has to produce a product
to fulfill the needs of their customers. Hence, emerged the
marketing concept.
This concept works on an assumption that consumers buy
products which fulfill their needs. Businesses following the
marketing concept conduct researches to know about
customers’ needs and wants and come out with products to
fulfill the same better than the competitors. By doing so, the
business establishes a relationship with the customer and
generate profits in the long run.
Many businesses still follow sales concepts to make profits.
It totally depends on the demand and supply and the needs
of the parties involved.

Societal Marketing Concept
Adding to the marketing concept, this philosophy focuses on
society’s well-being as well. The societal marketing concept or
philosophy believes in giving back to the society what it had
received from the society.
Business focuses on how to fulfill the needs of the customer
without affecting the environment, natural resources and
focusing on society’s well-being.
This philosophy believes that the business is a part of the
society and hence should take part in social services like the
elimination of poverty, illiteracy, and controlling explosive
population growth etc.
Many of the big companies have included corporate social
responsibility as a part of their marketing activities.
47. HOLISTIC MARKETING
A business, like a human body, has different
parts, but it’s only able to function properly
when all those parts work together towards the
same objective.
Holistic Marketing Concept considers
business and all its parts as one single entity
and gives a shared purpose to every activity
and person related to that business.
“A holistic marketing concept is based on the
development, design and implementation of
marketing programs, processes and activities
that recognize the breadth and
interdependencies
Holistic marketing concept enforces this inter-
relatedness and believes that a broad and
integrated perspective is essential to attain

The Product & Production Concept
1) Products which are better in terms of quality performance and features.
2) Production, “as the productivity levels increase, cost of production decreases,
and as a result, customer will be able to purchase a product at a cheaper rate,
which in turn accelerates the sales of the company.”
For a product to be successful under this concept, it should stand apart from
the rest of the crowd. Let’s take Apple and Google for example. The end
products of these companies are not only of the best quality, but are also very
exclusive. Hence, companies willing to adapt ‘product concept

and marketing are a necessity in some products. The marketing concept

trends, but also the needs of their customers.
The Societal Concept The societal marketing concept leads to a company
orientation which believes in giving back to the society what it had received
from the society. This concept believes that the company is profiting because
of society and hence it should also take measures to make sure the society
also benefits from the company.

Aligned Activities
All of the services, processes, communication and other business activities should be directed
towards that common goal.
Integrated Activities
All activities should be designed and integrated in such a way so as to create a unified, consistent
and seamless customer experience.
Components of Holistic Marketing
Holistic marketing focuses on marketing strategies designed to market the brand to every person
related to it, be it employees, existing customers or potential customers, and communicating it in a
unified manner while keeping in mind the societal responsibility of the business.
Relationship Marketing
The relationship marketing aspect of holistic marketing philosophy focuses on a long-term
customer relationship and engagement rather than short-term goals like customer acquisition and
individual sales. This strategy focuses on targeting marketing activities on existing customers to
create a strong, emotional, and everlasting customer connections. These connections further help
the business in getting repeated sales, free word of mouth marketing and more leads.
Integrated Marketing

interact with the brand by designing and directing all communication (advertising, sales promotion,
direct marketing, public relations, and digital marketing) in such a way so that all work together as a
unified force and centers around a strong and focused brand image.
53. The Marketing Mix - The Four P's
There are four marketing mix variables that are associated with a product. These must be taken into
consideration when making any decisions regarding marketing activities. These are often known as the
"Four P's" in marketing. Note that these should only be identified after a target market is selected. All
marketing mix variables are controllable, internal factors. These include:
1.Product - This variable described all factors relating to the actual product visible to the consumer.
These may include things such as quality, features, options, style, packaging, brand, sizes, labels,
variety, and warranties.
2.Price - The price variable includes not only the list price, but all other pricing factors associated with a
product. These may include discounts, allowances, payment options and periods, and credit terms. All
of these are related to the final, whole price of the product.
3.Place - Place deals with all distribution and location aspects of a product. How and what are the
products available to consumers? These may include assortments, channels, coverage areas,
locations, and inventories.
4.Promotion - Promotion is any and all efforts by a company to make publicize a product and make the
consumer aware of it. Efforts might include advertising, personal selling, sales, public relations, or

54. Marketing strategy
A marketing strategy is the logic by which the business unit happens to achieve its marketing objectives.
Designing a market strategy involves a few steps.
Market segmentation
This is the first step of planning a marketing strategy. The company needs to divide potentials customers
into groups based on a characteristic that tells us the kind of product the customer is interested in.
The major ways to segment are geographic, based on location; demographic, based on family niche.
Basically market segmentation allows us to determine niches in a market. Usually a company tends to
segment the market more than once, e.g. First by country, then by state, then by income and then by family
size.
Target Marketing
This occurs when the company examines the results from market segmentation and studies the various
market segments to determine the segments to which the product will be most useful to.
When examining a segment you need to consider how fast it is growing, this can be done by looking at
sales and growth rates.
There are other factors that you may need to consider as well. The number of competitors in a segment will
greatly affect the profit margin that you can hope to make.
Last, you need to consider your company’s resources. You may find that some segments will take too much
time or money to pursue, which will cut into your profit as well.
Product positioning

Cell 9303239020
This is the manner in which the consumer sees your product in respect
to other similar products available in the market. You need to examine
your product and its competitors in the market and determine how it is
different or better than the others. These differences could be better
quality, lower price or a product that is more accessible to the
consumer.
Out of the differences determined pick those that would appeal most to
the targeted market segment and promote them. The product
positioning you end up with should tell consumers why your product is
the one that they should spend their money on.
The above mentioned aspects will definitely help your business grow.
You should not assume that things such as marketing strategy are only
for large companies, the size of your business does not affect your
eligibility to form a marketing strategy, and it matters not whether you
are selling your products on a website or a mall. Try using what you
have learned in your planning, the results will not disappoint you.
56. Every marketing plan has to fit the needs and situation. Even so, there are standard components you just can’t
do without. A marketing plan should always have a situation analysis, marketing strategy, sales forecast, and
expense budget.
•Situation Analysis: Normally this will include a market analysis, a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats), and a competitive analysis. The market analysis will include a market forecast,
segmentation, customer information, and market needs analysis.
•Marketing Strategy: This should include at least a mission statement, objectives, and focused strategy
including market segment focus and product positioning.
•Sales Forecast: This would include enough detail to track sales month by month and follow up on plan-vs.-
actual analysis. Normally a plan will also include specific sales by product, by region or market segment, by
channels, by manager responsibilities, and other elements. The forecast alone is a bare minimum.
•Expense Budget: This ought to include enough detail to track expenses month by month and follow up on plan-
vs.-actual analysis. Normally a plan will also include specific sales tactics, programs, management
responsibilities, promotion, and other elements. The expense budget is a bare minimum.
Are They Enough?
These minimum requirements above are not the ideal, just the minimum. In most cases you’ll begin a marketing
plan with an Executive Summary, and you’ll also follow those essentials just described with a review of
organizational impact, risks and contingencies, and pending issues.
Include a Specific Action Plan
You should also remember that planning is about the results, not the plan itself. A marketing plan must be
measured by the results it produces. The implementation of your plan is much more important than its brilliant
ideas or massive market research. You can influence implementation by building a plan full of specific,
measurable and concrete plans that can be tracked and followed up. Plan-vs.-actual analysis is critical to the
eventual results, and you should build it into your plan.
