Marketing Concepts – Production Concept (Summary)
• The production concepts hold that consumers will prefer products that are widely available and inexpensive.
• Managers of production oriented companies concentrate on achieving high production efficiency, low costs and mass distribution.
• The company assumes that consumers are primarily interested in product availability and low prices.
• This concept holds good in those cases where the cost of production of the company is more than the cost of production of its competitors and the demand for the product exceeds its supply
Marketing Orientations : 2-Product Concept
2.Product Concept
• The product concept holds that consumers will favor those products that offer the most quality, performance or innovative features
• Managers in these organizations focus on making superior products and improving them over time
• The product concept can lead to what Theodore Levitt calls “marketing myopia”. Marketing myopia is the wrong concept about the product and its purchase by consumers
3. The Selling Concept
The Selling Concept
• The selling concept assumes that consumers and businesses, if left along, will ordinarily not buy enough of the organization’s products. The organizations must therefore undertake an aggressive selling and promotion effort.

customers. Target customers is the group of customers for whom the product is created and directed

customers.• A company can define its target customers but fail to
correctly understand the customer’s needs.• Understanding customer need is not very easy. There can
be different types of customer needs such as:o Stated needs o Real needso Unstated needso Delight needso Secret needs

customers may have in the near futureo Creative Marketing A creative marketer discovers and produces solutions
customers did not ask for but to which they enthusiastically respond

to serve the customer’s interest, the result is the integrated marketing.
• Integrated marketing takes place at two levels. They are:o The various marketing functions – sale force, advertising,
customer service, product management, marketing research – must work together
o The second is that the marketing must be embraced by the other departments . To foster teamwork among all departments, the company carries out internal and external marketing.
