Marketing Message

Marketing message refers to the component that plays a critical role in grabbing the prospective attention while offering information on how to solve the problems and the need to trust the organization in question. It is also critical in the decision-making process by the consumers to adopt and integrate valuable reasons to execute transactions with the organization above any and all choices they have within the context of the market or industry of operation. The main rationale for the success in the development of an effective marketing message is the generation of an efficient communication garget in relation to the needs and wants of the target audiences (Kolsarici & Vakratsas, 2010). Five steps are critical in the development of an effective marketing message. The first step is the identification of the target market of the organization.

The positioning is akin to a casual version of fine dining, taking concepts from that segment an applying them to a mainstream audience. In doing so, we feel that we will offer an experience superior to that of other casual dining establishments.
e view are target market strategy as being congruent with the fun, innovative and youthful image we project. e intend to skew younger than a typical casual dining restaurant in order attract an audience that is ready to trade up from casual dining and fast food -- and has the means to do so -- while not being ready to move into fine dining yet. This target, we feel, is the target that our food will appeal to and is also the target audience whose needs are not being met by the firms currently in the casual dining industry.

One interesting aspect of small, specialty stores is that they may not even offer lower-priced goods pertaining to the sport that are available at franchises, such as socks and polo shirts. These are not stocked in high quantities, but merely for the convenience of one-stop shopping. The real profit comes from selling the luxury items at full price to a consumer who is willing to pay for the store experience and the additional service as well as the added cache of a famous name. Basic sporting goods are unlikely to be the focus of the store -- instead the types of brands that are only available at high-end golf stores will be showcased.

ithin the premium golfing market, of course, there may be some sales, and some competition within the segment locally. Stores may offer sales on notable luxury items at the end of the season, to clear their inventories, but…...

Marketing Strategy
With an increasing number of female consumers interested in do-it-yourself household repair and maintenance activities, the Graf Hardware Corporation decided to launch a line of tools geared for female needs and tastes. These tools will differ little from their generic counterparts but will boast attractive and colorful handles and the grips will be smaller, made for the female hand. A marketing strategy for this new line of female-oriented tools will include television marketing, targeted advertisements in certain magazines, and clever use of product display units. Billboards, print ads in newspapers, and radio spots will be used as well.

This multi-pronged marketing mix will reach the widest range of consumers. Because female do-it-yourselfers come from a wide mix of demographics, the tools will need to be marketed to a number of different sectors. Therefore, household repair magazines are only the beginning of the advertising campaign. In fact, television ads should be…...

In the case of Kellogg's, as Kellogg's needs to solicit an opinion from a specific market segment of potential consumers for a product that is not fully formulated in terms of its branding (as it is only a year old) descriptive research of how the elderly consumers find the product would be most appropriate, though the use of focus groups that have tried the cereal or surveys to those who have bought the cereal and did or did not like it over the course of the try-out period.

Discuss the type(s) of researches (exploratory research, descriptive research, causal research) that should be used for the following situations and how should it be used. (E.g. focus groups, price testing, packaging, etc.): 1 Kellogg's needs to find out how their new cereal aimed at mature adults (65+) is doing after a year on the shelves; 2 NYU wants to find out how the 2005 "enjoyed their "stay at the school for the past 4 years"; 3 Reebok wants to test the feasibility of bringing back a past footwear success -- Weeboks, a sneaker aimed at infants; 4 McDonalds needs to find out where to locate their 1000000th franchise.

In the case of Kellogg's, as Kellogg's needs to solicit an opinion from a specific market segment of potential consumers for a product that is not fully formulated in terms of its branding (as it is only a year old) descriptive research of how the elderly consumers find the product would be most appropriate, though the use of focus groups that have tried the cereal or surveys to those who have bought the cereal and did or did not like it over the course of the try-out period. Some exploratory research would be involved, as opinions could be solicited about possible improvements -- and the product could be taste-tested with an eye on further improvements from the selected sampling of the elderly. Causal research is also involved in terms of the why consumers did or did not like the product, and what motivated them to buy the product, if they did so spontaneously, and not as a result of a taste-test prompting.

NYU similarly could survey the class of 2005, distributing surveys and conducting a random selection of interviews from the outgoing class through the use of descriptive research. Reebok, however, since it has not yet created its newest version of the show product, would need to embark upon exploratory research to find out how the new audience of parents would view the baby shoe, with perhaps some causal research to discover why the 1980's version shoe declined in favor, from consumers who had purchased it long ago. Lastly, McDonald's would first need to conduct an exploratory study of the potential areas for the new franchises, followed with a descriptive study of why franchises had succeeded or failed in specific regions of the country, by surveying consumers in the area, and conducting causal research as to the internal causes of the failure in terms of budgeting and financing at such operations.

Justification and Marketing Strategy for the Launch of a Date Flavored Breakfast Cereal in Saudi Arabia

The development and sale of a date flavored cereal to be sold in Saudi Arabia may have a great deal of potential. The cereal market in Saudi Arabia is the largest cereal market in the Middle East, and it is in a growth phase (ITP.net, 2006), while two major global breakfast cereal firms; Kellogg and Nestle, have had a presence in the country since the 1970's in the past the was generally marketed to western expatiates (ITP.net, 2006). The increased level of global media has created a higher demand for cereal in the local consumer market, and growing awards of health issue have also supported the growth of the cereal market which is perceived as a healthy breakfast choice (Euromonitor, 2012; ITP.net, 2006). Increasing disposable income in the region is also impacting positivity on the…...

Marketing Strategy
Assess the Information Needs of Target Market(s). What Information will Your Potential Customers need (e.g. address of premises)?

The information needs of the target market will provide them with enough facts to make an informed decision. This will be accomplished by giving customers with information about the physical location (i.e. address), telephone number, any kind of professional organizations and the web site. These factors will help them to learn about the firm and contact staff when they have questions. (Shimp, 2008) (Ward, 1998)

Indicate whether any Personal Selling will be involved and if so what forms this will take. If not explain why not.

Yes, personal selling will be involved. This will be accomplished using traditional and online sources. (Shimp, 2008) (Ward, 1998)

Marketing Driven Strategy In a market driven strategy the customer is the focal point, which means that everything the bar and grill does should be oriented towards benefiting the customer in some way. To know what OPG can do to benefit the customer, it has to determine its distinctive capabilities. These would be the strengths it possesses as identified in its SWOT analysis. It would also include opportunities identified in the same analysis. Then comes the step of matching customer value with the bar and grill’s capabilities and to ask whether leveraging the pub’s resources would help to create customer value. If there is a match and the pub can do it, the steps should lead to superior performance and a successful marketing driven strategy.
Positioning is key to this process and as Trout and Rivkin (2006) argue, a company must differentiate or die, which is what OPG aims to do with…...

Introduction When deciding upon marketing strategies to be used for a hotel business in order to attract new clients, a hotel must identify that which sets it apart from other competing hotels. The essence of any successful marketing campaign is the ability to differentiate oneself. Trout and Rivkin (2006) state that a company must “differentiate or die” (p. 2), meaning that if a business cannot do something to distinguish itself from the next nearest competitor it will never succeed—precisely because it has not been able to show consumers that it is offering something uniquely special. Thus, for a hotel, it is critical that it consider the things that define it and make it uniquely attractive. Whether it is setting, dining, history, environment, proximity, attractions, luxury, style, class, or some other feature, the hotel business’s first priority is to identify its strengths. If it finds that it cannot offer anything new to…...

Executive Summary There is a shift in the Chinese luxury car market, and BMW is building a plant to take advantage of it. The top three luxury automakers – by far – are Audi, BMW and Mercedes. They each are very similar to one another, and have similar market shares in China as well. Early adopters in China were the newly-rich, making their first luxury car purchase as a status symbol. This is shifting, and to win greater market share BMW will need to win existing customers to buy a second or third BMW. The problem is that a) their marketing strategy in the country isn't built around that objective and b) Chinese consumers have very low brand loyalty compared with those in other nations. This report will outline the unique characteristics of the Chinese market, and make recommendations for how BMW can target the new segment – current customers –…...
