Designing a customer value driven marketing strategy and plan
Once it fully understands consumers and the marketplace, Marketing management can
design a customer value driven marketing strategy.
Marketing management: the art and science of choosing target markets and building
profitable relationships with them. To design a winning marketing strategy, the marketing manager must answer to important
questions:
1. What customers will we serve, what is our target market?
Company wants to select only customers that it can serve well and profitably
2. How can we serve the customers best, what is our value proposition?
The sets of benefits or values the company promise to deliver to consumers to satisfy
their needs.
There are five alternative concepts which organizations design and carry out their marketing
strategies:
1. The production concept the idea that consumers will favor products that are
available and highly affordable. Management should focus on improving production
and distribution efficiency.
2. The product concept the idea that consumers will favor product that offer the
most quality, performance and features. Management should focus on making
continuous product improvements.
3. The selling concept the idea that consumers wil not buy enough of the firms’
products unless the firm undertakes a large scale selling and promotion effort. The
aim is to sell what the company makes rather than making what the customer wants.
4. The marketing concept a philosophy in which achieving organizational goals
depends on knowing the needs and wants of target markets and delivering the
desired satisfaction better than the competitors do. The job is not to find the right
customers for your product but find the right products for your customers.
5. The societal marketing concept the idea that a company’s marketing decisions
should consider consumers wants, the company’s requirements, consumer long run
interest and society long interests.

marketing strategy into action. It consists of marketing tools. The major marketing mix tools
are classified into four broad groups, the four Ps:

and all the costs of a marketing offer relative to those of competing offers.
Customer satisfaction: the extent to which a product perceived performance matches a
buyer’s expectation. Companies can build customer relationship at many levels, depending on the nature of the
target market (product experiences, brand building advertising, websites). Marketers can
use specific marketing tools do develop stronger bonds with customers (room updates,
discount etc.). Customer-engagement marketing: making the brand a meaningful part of consumer lives by
fostering direct customer involvement in shaping brand conversations, brand experiences
and brand community. Internet and social media have given a huge boost to customer
engagement marketing. Customer brand advocacy: actions by which satisfied customers initiate favorable
interactions with others about a brand. Consumer-generated marketing: brand exchanges created by consumers themselves,
invited or uninvited, by which consumers are playing an increasing role in shaping their own
brand experience and those of other consumers.

departments and outside the company to bring greater value to customer. Capture value from customers

talk favorably to others about the company. Loyal customers stay around longer and spend
more. Customer lifetime value: the value of the entire stream of purchases a customer makes over
a lifetime. Good customer relationship can help marketers increase their share of customer: the share
of the customer purchasing that a company gets in its product categories Customer equity: the total combined customer lifetime values of all of the company’s
