Some truths about ‘Markets’‘Markets’
All marketers – both B2C and B2B ‐ recognise that they cannot (i) appeal to all buyers in those markets, or (ii) appeal in the same way.
Buyers are too numerous, too widely scattered and t i d i th i d

Rather than trying to compete in an entire market, often against superior competitors, each company must identify the parts of the market that it can serve best.

Consider these bodily changes that accompany ageing:
RAZZAQUE:UNSW
• Hearing 25% of people over 65 experience hearing loss; marketers using audio communicators should select spokespersons who have deeper tones.
• Taste sensitivity — By age 80, two‐third’s of our taste sensitivity is lost (most for sweet tastes, least for sour tastes). Marketers should consider odour amplification to enhance the palatability of foods and beverages.
• Touch — At age 65, a 5 degree change in temperature is needed to equal the sensitivity a 30‐year‐old would have for a 1degree change.

Market Positioning of the Product
• After deciding which segment or segments) of the market to enter, the firm must decide which “position” it wants to occupy in those segments.– Positioning is customer perceptions of a product image or benefits customer perceptions of a product image or benefits versus competitions’ productsversus competitions’ products.
•• Product positionProduct position is the way the product is defined by is the way the product is defined by consumers on important attributesconsumers on important attributes

consumers on important attributesconsumers on important attributes. – Drive is positioned as an all purpose family washing detergent; Softly as a washing detergent for delicate fabrics such as wool.
• Positioning is different from product differentiation.– Differentiated value is created by the ‘value proposition’ used by marketers for the segmented market.
– Value proposition refers to the features that differentiate a product from competitors’ offerings
L5-23
Choosing a Differentiation and Positioning Strategy
A three step processA three step process1. Identifying a set of differentiating competitive advantages upon
which to build a position
2. Identifying and choosing the right competitive advantages
3. Selecting an overall positioning strategy.
RAZZAQUE:UNSW
Step 1: Step 1: Identifying a set of differentiating competitive advantages upon which to build a position– Can be done though perceptual mapping analysisperceptual mapping analysis.
– Perceptual map is a multidimensional map which identifies factors that
discriminate between brands.
– It is a useful tool for plotting moves over time by competitors as well as the
results of a firm’s own brand positioning strategy.
L5-24
Perceptual Mapping
A perceptual map is a graphic representation of how consumers in a market perceive a competing set of products relative to each other. It is a multidimensional map which identifies factors that discriminates between brands.
Based upon research using existing or prospective consumers, management determines those dimensions

, gmost important to consumers in evaluating brands and how consumers see competitive products in terms of their performance on these dimensions.
Not only are perceptual maps valuable in determining consumer perceptions of existing products, they may offer insights to new product opportunities. Gaps in the perceptual space may suggest positions for new offerings in the market.

possibilities exist such as delivery, installation, repair and customer training services.

Step 2. Step 2. Identifying and choosing the right competitive advantage Identifying and choosing the right competitive advantage IIII
• Personnel differentiation– By hiring and training better people than their competitors. Personnel differentiation requires a company to select its customer‐contact people carefully and train them well.
• Image differentiation– Work to establish images that differentiate them from competitors.

– A company or brand image should convey a singular and distinctive message that communicates the product’s major benefits and positioning.
– Symbols can provide strong company or brand recognition and image differentiation.
– A company can also create an image through the types of event it sponsors.

Which Differences to Promote?
• A difference is worth establishing to the extent it satisfies the following criteria:
– Important ‐ the difference delivers a highly valued benefit.
– Distinctive ‐ competitors do not offer the difference.
– Superior ‐ the difference is superior to other ways in which the customers may obtain the same benefit.
RAZZAQUE:UNSW

– Communicable ‐ the difference is communicable and visible to buyers.
– Pre‐emptive ‐ competitors cannot easily copy the difference.
– Affordable ‐ the buyers can afford the difference.
– Profitable ‐ the difference can be introduce the difference profitably.

Step 3: Design marketing program to communicate benefits and persuade customers.
• After selecting a position, the company must take strong steps to deliver and communicate the desired position to target customers.
• The marketing mix efforts must support the positioning strategy.

RAZZAQUE:UNSW
• Designing the marketing mix involves working out the tactical details of the positioning strategy.
• The position must be monitored and adapted over time to match changes in consumer needs and competitors’ strategies.
• The position should evolve gradually as it adapts to the ever changing marketing environment.
