De Beers; Segmentation and Target Marketing
De Beers is a well-known diamond firm. Founded in 1888 by Cecil hodes, the company dominated the diamond industry for many years, with activities in the exploration, mining, sorting and marketing of diamonds (De Beers, 2013). For many years the organization has an effective monopoly, controlling the supply diamonds. While aspects of the operations and in control exercised may be controversial, coming to an end in recent years following a number of court cases as well as increased competition (Zimnisky, 2013), it is undeniable that the company has been extremely successful in its marketing. In 1999, the publication "Advertising Age," named the companies advertising campaign which developed the slogan "a diamond as ever" one of the top 100 advertising campaigns of the 20 century, placing it in second position (Garfield, 1999).

Many of Target's most highly-promoted items in its weekly circular, however, are related to electronics, such its two-for-one game sales, and its deals on the iPod shuffle and digital cameras. Although the bright red target logo is prominently displayed, the ads seem diffuse and only contribute to an overall, specific marketing strategy of low pricing. The stress upon "awesome low toy pricing" and "bright home ideas on a budget" does not necessarily underline Target's image as a unique 'experience' or 'exclusive' as well as affordable retailer.
Although it might be observed that everyone enjoys a bargain, there is already another retailer that advertises itself as offering the 'lowest prices' all of the time in the form of Wal-Mart. Target can rarely offer lower prices than Wal-Mart, so stressing pricing…

Target marketing simply involves the process of breaking the market into segments and then further focusing on a specific segment. Target market could also involve concentrating on related segments of the broken market in order to improve then instead dealing with marketing as a whole Kotler & Armstrong, 2010.
Before marketing is done some things first there are things that should be determined within the business. The first step before coming up with proper marketing strategy one should identify the problem in the business Pogia & University, 2000.
There are many problems that could be affecting the performance of a business. For instance the products being offered to the market could be less competitive in that whatever products are being offered in the market are not as popular in that case one would incur less profits if not losses. One should have competitive products and one that have high returns in terms…

In fact, target marketing has become a necessity in the complex context of today's globalization. The reason behind this situation consists in the fact that minorities groups are reporting continuous growth and development. Their needs expand also, and so does their power.
Immigration increases all over the world. This leads to demographics modifications, which are estimated to become quite significant in the following periods of time. All these factors require adaptation from marketing techniques in all its aspects.
When discussing the issue of target marketing, especially where minorities are concerned, everyone thinks about whether it is ethical towards the minority in case. But one should also focus attention on the non-target groups, which basically represent the majority. It seems that favorable target market effects are more significant for members of distinctive groups, like ethnic minorities, while unfavorable non-target market effects are more significant for members of the majority (Aaker et al., 2000).

Identify the basic target market selection strategies.
The basic target market selection strategies include undifferentiated marketing, differentiated marketing, and concentrated marketing.
Undifferentiated market refers to an approach that ignores the differences of each segment of the market and goes after the entire market. With this approach, one product or service will be designed to cover the entire market. This often includes focusing on what all segments of the market have in common, rather than what differs between them. The key features of this approach are that it means going after the entire market and that it does so with the same product or service.
Differentiated marketing refers to an approach where the differences of each segment of the market are identified and a product or service is designed especially for each segment. With this approach, the product or service is altered to suit specific markets. The key features of this approach are that…
They will not develop a commercial presenting peasants working the field, but one that will present rushed businessmen being saved by the new service.
An example of success achieved through product positioning is offered by PepsiCo and their Mountain Dew drink. The marketing strategy targeted the youth particularly and assimilated the product with doing something energetic, wild and something that would be appreciated by the teenagers and young adults. The extreme sports presented in the Mountain Dew commercials have attracted the interest of the audience and sales boosted.
3. There are four stages of product life: introduction, growth, maturity and decline, when the item has reached maturity, several companies will extend its life. However in most cases it is best to let the product 'die' and focus on a new one and more desirable one, there are some strategies to avoiding decline. A first one is that of reinventing the product…

references, and wants are changing. The delicate balance between investing in new product development while also striving to keep segmentation and audience definitions in balance is one of the most difficult aspects of the marketing equation in many organizations. For consumer products companies the need for speed of execution and accuracy just makes this more difficult. The concepts of market segmentation and target markets comprised of consumers sharing comparable interests in addition to common demographics is the basis of nearly every consumer product good produced globally today. Alignment to these groups is crucial for the success of any product or service as well.
Market Segmentation
The Baby Us brand is a store concept of Toys Us, which is the largest retailer of toys. Baby Us is a brand extension that specially focuses on supplies and toys for babies, so the under 2 crowd. The target market is different for this concept compared with the target market for Toys Us. This paper will explain Baby Us in terms of market segmentation and target marketing.

The main Toys Us concept is a toy store that appeals to a large target market. The toys sold appeal mainly to children under 14, but there is plenty appeal with some of these products to older buyers as well. The company segments its customers in terms of the end users (usually a child) and the buyer (usually a parent or grandparent). The average age of a Toys Us customer is 43.1 years, which…

My chosen product in this case is for a Tesla Model S. This product is an electric car, but one that features luxury styling and features. The target market can be defined in a number of ways. First is income, as one needs to have a certain amount of money to buy this car. The Model S. competes as a luxury vehicle, and therefore it has a target market that fits into a certain income characteristic. The target market is also likely to be highly educated, as this is correlated not only with the market for luxury cars but the market for electric cars as well. Moreover, the Model S. can be segmented by geography. Tesla only sells in certain places, and does not have a large dealer footprint. Most of its sales are in areas where it has a concentration of dealerships, and also where it has the infrastructure…

This helps tarbucks to retain an image of the young, exciting company that attempts to break the convention with its strategy and its products. The company does this with a policy of continuous innovation and honesty.
Another policy is never to compromise the customer's experience for the sake of profit, as seen above. Not only employees, but also customers are seen as the primary stakeholders in the company and as such are treated well. In this, the company focuses on the little touches that make the customer experience something exceptional. The policy is that small things add up to connect the customer with the company, and this ensures returning customers.
Another insight that tarbucks profit from is the fact that they do not attempt to cultivate loyalty with lower prices, but rather a basis of fans with products that are excellent and meaningful to the particular customers it serves. Hence, customers…

elcome to this presentation about the fundamentals of marketing. The presentation is going to cover a number of different subjects, including promotion, buyer behaviour, personal selling, the promotional mix and customer relationship marketing.
e'll start with promotion. Promotion is defined as "Communicating with the public in an attempt to influence them toward buying your product" (ard, 2012). Promotion is a broad concept, encompassing advertising, public relations management and any events such as trade show appearances, demonstrations, contests or sponsorships, for example.
A promotional activity can have a number of different objectives. Some of the more common objectives of promotional activities are to establish the corporate image in the community, to build brand awareness, to build customer loyalty, to capitalize on new market opportunities, to dispel negative press and to announce changes (Moore, 2012). Basically, promotion is a way of getting a message across, whether that messages is "Hey, look at me!" Or…

Marketing Forces and Diversification
As American society becomes increasingly ethnically diverse through immigration, relocation, birth rates and other factors, our hospitals must hone their sensitivity to resulting changes in community health needs. In addition, rigorous competition among hospitals requires sensitive, targeted marketing strategies attractive to diverse populations. An excellent example of responsive marketing and health care is given in Noonan's and Savolaine's article. The intelligence and success of the subject community hospital's approach shows that at least a hybrid of its approach should be followed in marketing to and serving a hospital's community.

Marketing
Mass marketing is differentiated from target marketing, in that the target customer is pretty much everybody. A firm that has a target market will either have all of its sales, or a significant portion of them, in an specific identifiable group. Thus, the product should span across race, gender, age and geography. Such a product's target market would be better understood in terms of who doesn't buy it than who does. Wal-Mart would be a good example of a mass market retailer, based on their size, their geographic spread, the wide variety of products that they sell and the ubiquitous nature of many of those products -- many mass market retailers target very broad groups (Investopedia, 2015).
A mass market product, therefore, would be a product that broadly appeals. I will go with Charmin. The target market for Charmin is almost everybody. There are only a few groups that may not…

Marketing Challenge
The primary marketing challenge at Flare Fragrances is to develop an appropriate and competitive marketing strategy for the new Savvy brand to be launched in 2009. The specific issues in this challenge include the question of whether to launch Savvy in the first place, whether to distribute it through conventional or through new channels, and whether to associate it with the Loveliest umbrella brand or to give it a separate identity.
The industry is experiencing a decline because of the economic crisis and sales at Flare Fragrances grew by only 2% in 2008 although overall performance was average given the economic challenges. Improving performance in the coming years will require a significant improvement in sales, either through existing or new products. Advertising expenditure is also a major question to be addressed.

The underdeveloped countries are becoming major emerging markets with a huge potential based on the large populations. The large corporations operating in developed markets also expand in international markets. The multinational companies operating in under developed and developing countries also look for opportunities in the market through a different approach. The key question that needs to be answered is that these markets have different dynamics in terms on consumer preferences, geographical locations, and income at the disposal of a large number of inhabitants. The businesses including major multinational corporations also look for opportunities in establishing their reach and appeal to the locals that are under privileged and in some cases the bottom of the pyramid (BOP) market segment. These underprovided populations not only live under the poverty line but they also have a small income…

Internet marketing techniques like social media and videos on demand can also come in handy (Chaffey, 2007). Message strategy should be well thought out.

Marketing in the Contemporary Organizations
The contemporary society is very dynamic and things change each passing day particularly propelled by the new inventions and technological improvements. There is provision for information to travel faster than it used to, hence posing a cut edge competitive environment for each organization. Each company that wants to remain relevant in the market must embrace techniques and trends that will enable it remain afloat and relevant, such as marketing.
The modern organizations has so many functions going on like production, resource development, finance departments, the human resource departments all in tandem. In order to align these functions within the organization with the needs and wants and expectations of the customers, there is need to involve a marketing strategy that will deliberately guide these functions towards that direction (ama ao, 2005).

In recent times, people have become more conscious of their health and they are choosing products that are healthy such as organic products. This has also been the case when it comes to organic wines. These wines improve the health of soil and vines at the same time improving the productivity of older vineyards. Organic wines are also beneficial to customers in that the wines are healthy as they contain only a small proportion of preservatives like sulfur which are added to normal wines which cause headaches. This paper will therefore look at the potential marketing landscapes for organic wines. It will also look at micro and macro environmental forces that have an effect on marketing ability of organic wines.

Marketing and Branding a Healthcare-elated product

Target markets, branding, marketing strategy, execution and product positioning all directly contribute to the market share and profitability of a product. In the marketing and selling of healthcare related products, brands must communicate a viable and realistic solution t a patient's condition to be seen with credibility and trust (Angelmar, Angelmar, Kane, 2007).

Competition and competitive advantage
Based on the nature of the products sold, as well as the means of targeting the customers, Innocent faces severe competition from three distinctive players:
Orchard House Foods Limited
Premier Foods Plc. And Wellness Foods Limited (Hoovers, 2011).
The competition posed by each of these entities is important, but it must also be noticed that each firm is characterized by its own strengths and weaknesses. At the level of Innocent, these are best observed through the lenses of the BCG matrix. The chart below indicates…

Another threat that needs to be dealt with is the fact that the age category we are addressing is most predisposed to change. People in this age group have a tendency to change their car once every a couple of years, change the electronics around the house, change the computer, etc. Compared with the over 55 category, much more conservatory, the consumers we are targeting have lower customer retention indicators and consistent additional effort needs to be made in this sense.
The third threat from the market that needs to be mentioned is related to technological obsoleteness and the implications deriving here from. One of the causes of the customer retention indicator I have previously mentioned is related to the fact that new technological features constantly appear in short period…

Single-sourcing which is the characteristic of Miller Inc. could be a recipe of disaster should the supplier fail. Contingency plans for supplies need to be considered.
The constrant production nature of the product leads to huge strains on personnel and machinery.
Product line and client base lack diversification.
While the small number of staff promotes camaraderie, unfortunately, it also impedes growth and development.
Miller Inc. is reactive rather than proactive in its marketing efforts. This is as a result of its heavy reliance on mass-media advertising for obtaining new business.
The current facilities of Miller Inc. are crowded thus there is little room for expansion of workforce or equipment.

Keeping in view the increasing obesity rates in Australia and finding the spicy and high-calorie fast foods as the major reason for it, Ms. Janet Bradley has planned to establish a low-calorie fast food restaurant chain that will serve as an alternative to McDonald's, ed ooster, KFC, and other fast food chains. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the micro and macro environment for the new fast food chain in order to recommend strategies which can help it in becoming successful in the industry. The major micro environmental forces which will impact its business are consumer behaviour, suppliers and intermediaries, publics, and competitors. The buyer behaviour has been analysed using cultural, social, personal, and psychological dimensions -- all having a significant impact on the purchase decisions and preferences of the consumers towards fast food products. The restaurant chain will also take a big impact…

Objectives & Mission Statement
Although McDonald's latest advertising slogan, as proclaimed on its 2005 website, is "I'm lovin' it," (McDonald's Official ebsite, 2005), shareholders in the fast food company have not be equally enamored of its current stock performance and plummeting sales. (The Rogue Investor, 2005) Thus, the objectives of the new McDonald's marketing campaign must be to undo some of the economic and public relations damage done to the company by the negative press generated by the success of Morgan Spurlock's film 'Supersize Me.' Over the course of the year, McDonald's wishes to gain a greater percentage of the revenue of the current fast food market than its most prominent burger-oriented competitors endy's and Burger King. McDonald's also wishes to gain some of the type of positive media as generated by the sandwich chain Subway. The Subway Diet has now…

The product is a complement to the existing line of iTravl translators and Lingvosoft applications for other high-end multi-function mobile devices.
Because the product has a high-end position, it should be priced accordingly. The current prices for Palm OS for example range anywhere between $79 for single language packs to $199 for multiple language packs. The iPhone applications should be priced within a similar range. The current competitor Mobile Glot has their basic dictionaries priced for free, which reflects the low quality of their product relative to Ectaco's products.

Anticipating huge potential of growth in this industry, numerous new companies are entering the market. These new entrants are manufacturing same quality products for the same target customers. Therefore, they are also a big threat for the company for its new iPad keyboard and case combo (Kotler, 2008).
iii. Threat from the substitute products:
There are no direct substitutes for iPad keyboard and case combo. However, all those manufacturers that offer keyboard and protective covers or cases separately can be regarded as the alternative choice for this innovative product. For example, if a customer does not need Bluetooth keyboard, but wants to protect his iPad from damage and scratches; he will definitely go for buying protective…

Coined by marketing guru Jay Conrad Levinson, guerrilla marketing is marketing that is unconventional, nontraditional, not by-the-book, and extremely flexible. The nine major differing factors from conventional marketing provided in "360 Degree Internet Marketing - Think Outside the ox for Minimum Cost, Maximum Results," (2001), are:
Instead of investing money, you invest time, energy and imagination.
Instead of guesswork, you utilize our expertise and experience.
Instead of measuring your success in terms of traffic, responses or sales, you do so in terms of profits - your bottom-line.
Instead of ignoring customers once they've purchased, you follow-up for cross-sales, up-sales, and referral sales with great persistence.
Instead of only concentrating on making sales, you are dedicated to making relationships, which result in many more sales over the long-term.
Instead of focusing on a single strategy, you utilize a combination of many.
Instead of growing large and diversifying, you grow profitably and maintain focus.
Instead of aiming messages at large…

It was especially effective when evaluated for the specific demographic segmentation the organization was targeting. Young adult males were particularly inclined to watch the commercial, thanks to the buxom, bikini-clad beauty as the star. In addition, young adult females were more likely to relate to the star of commercial, more so than if they had cast a middle-aged housewife. Although these demographics were more likely to watch the commercial, such a small portion of the commercial was devoted to the actual message, it's difficult to determine the effectiveness on whether or not these viewers would take action, such as learning more about breast cancer or conducting monthly self breast exams, or other behaviors that would help with early detection of breast cancer, to ensure the likelihood of survival.

Market research is important since it enables the company management to make informed decisions that maximize their profit, increase sales, minimize risk and determine the strategic positioning of the company and its products. It involves gathering, recording and analyzing primary and secondary data in order to find correlations with the needs and wants of the target audience and how the company can fulfill these. It helps to create a link between the consumers or customers and the marketer of the product through information. The information collected is then used to identify and define the marketing opportunities that exist as well as the problems that may be encountered in marketing the product.

4.2 Distribution Strategy
The distribution channel will be considerably simplified given that the PortAlarm is a DIY system. Therefore, company will no longer have to send their electrician to install the alarm system. His presence within the company is however compulsory for he will have to attend any complaints and additional services required by the buyers.

There are, for example, the easily forgettable newspaper ads, the brightly colored billboards on the highway that one can see while driving, or on the side of buildings, the man or woman sitting on the side of the road with a flyer, or the boring radio commercials. There are also, of course, the funny messages on the television, and those jingles and seem not to want to escape constant humming. In other words, merican are simply surrounded by these various marketing tools that say "buy this" or "try this."

Bloomberg Businessweek. (2004). http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_38/b3900001_mz001.htm , accessed July 2011.]
Conclusion
Nike is one of the top sportswear and sports equipment companies in the world today. The presence of a small company started in Oregon has truly grown to massive proportions, and has been aided by fantastic advertisements and witty marketing strategies throughout the 1960's and 1970's, and innovative strategies from the 1980's onwards, the most recent of which have taken advantage of the internet social networking boom to promote new ways of creating a shoe and of promoting the company's goals. Due to the company's cornering of the market and the fact that it is truly difficult to propose any new strategies (as the company has done them all), Nike will probably be around for a very long time.
The most relevant competitors at this stage are represented by the Microsoft Corporation, the SEGA Corporation and the Sony Corporation (Hoovers, 2010).
In terms of the second persona, the competition is less concentrated as the hi-tech consumers will often renounce brand loyalty and will look for products which serve their needs, even if these products are sold by small size companies. This status quo is due to two primary elements:
On the one hand, the technical consumers have higher expectations. They do not care for fashionability, but they expect high quality or even flexibility so that they can program over the initial application and personalize the game.
On the other hand, the status quo was propagated by the abundance of firms and even individuals who create applications and sell them within the virtual community. The advent of the internet then enhances competition within the industry by bringing games and gamers closer together.

Illustrate the differences between a straight rebuy, modified rebuy, and a new task purchase. Why is it important to understand the differences?
A straight rebuy is the purchase of standard parts, maintenance, or repair, and operating supplies, or any recurring need purchased on a routine basis (Kotler, 2006). For example, the routine purchase of printing paper is a straight rebuy. A modified rebuy is a situation in which purchasers have experience to draw on, and consider alternatives to previous purchasing (Kotler, 2006). For example, if a company recently purchased a new printer from vendor A, but was not satisfied, they may decide to purchase from vendor B. In the same situation next time. A new task purchase is a situation in which purchasing does not have previous experience with a requirement, and thus, has no relevant knowledge of product solutions (Kotler, 2006). For example, if a company requires the purchase of…

Standard marketing follow-up processes will be used to determine how well customers remembered the specific messages in marketing campaigns and how those messages may have contributed to their decisions. The same technique will be used to collect data from prospective customers who initially expressed interest or who requested information about the service but ultimately decided not to purchase the product. Those surveys will address the extent to which those decisions may have been functions of the failure of marketing initiatives to achieve the necessary retention to generate sales of services.

Those surveys will address the extent to which those decisions may have been functions of the failure of marketing initiatives to inspire prospective customers to make follow-up inquiries or further consider purchasing the service.

High Fashion brands try to explore new avenues to further build their association with high-end target market by linking themselves to certain events and programs as part of their promotional techniques. 'Flamenco' would also make association with major Hispanic events already in place. We will also start a 'Flamenco Dance' campaign as an event that would celebrate colorful dances and clothes of Latinos.
Budgets and Controls
It is proposed that the marketing budget to launch the advertising and promotion campaign that includes print advertising, celebrity hook up, outdoor advertising and other initial activities should be considerable. Initial marketing budget will run in millions that is separate from the product development cost and infrastructure investment. Also exclusive boutiques opened will also have a separate budget.…

Marketing Information system is a management information system that supports decision making processes in marketing (Kotler & Keller, 2006). Marketing data is gathered, stored, and analyzed within this system and distributed on timely basis to managers to enhance decision making processes (Kotler, 1988). It is a continuing and an interactive structure of people, equipment and procedures to gather information that is used in decision making processes in an organization. The major components of management information system are internal reporting systems, marketing research system, marketing intelligence system, and marketing models. Information touching on finances, production, manpower, marketing, stockholding, and logistical data are normally stored in marketing information system. Orders received, stockholdings and sales are also stored in the marketing information system. Other than the above named information, marketers can also get information related to product type, size, and pack by territory, type of account, industry, and customer; average value and volume…

8. Sales
It is initially expected that the aerobics class would sell subscriptions to 1,500 customers. This high volume of sales would be due to promotional offers which promote the aerobics class at lower retail prices. As the promotions expire however, a small decline in the number of sales is expected. The company is however confident that it will manage to sell an estimated 1,300 products following the expiry of the promotions and that it will be able to sustain this level. Additionally, organizational improvements in the product offer and new marketing campaigns would also be implemented and they would attract new customers and as such generate more sales.

as, many of these ads will often have the picture of: the fragrance with a celebrity or model. While at the same time, they will have a sample that can be opened and smelled. This is important, because these two different tactics can create positive perceptions about the product in the minds of consumers.
You can then use newspapers and television advertising, to continue exposing the individual to the product itself. Where, the different forms of mediums will give them constant positive images of the merchandise and what it is about. This would be augmented with: an effective internet and radio campaign. Once this occurs, it will help to expose the core target audience to: the benefits of the product and how good it will make them feel. This is the point that you can create some kind change in the way consumers are: perceiving the product and the emotions…

The bottled water industry is an extremely dynamic one which has brought the players major revenues. Seeing the great potential for further profits, new companies have emerged and some of the already existent ones merged as to get better comparative advantages. Evian's main competitors are the Perrier Group, Aquafina and Dasani, and all these have engaged in marketing operations to differentiate themselves from the newly entered players and consolidate their position in the international market. The Perrier Group based their marketing campaigns onto radio announcements in order to reinforce their brand; Dasani has launched a new television advertisement featuring the Commodores and other funk stars; and Aquafina (from PepsiCo), has developed a televised campaign based on advertisements featuring celebrities (Hein, 2001).

In order to incorporate the electronic education business into Med Ed, Learner is going to need to set out some performance benchmarks for the unit that reflect the bricks-and-mortar Med Ed educational leadership.

Targeted Home Consumer
When selling a product, an organization's sales department has to be extremely careful while trying to consider which best approach to use when selling. Therefore, the sales department finds that it is better for the product to be sold in the commercial market other than using the home customer approach. The commercial market has a significant advantage over the home-consumer selling because many people are likely to purchase the product in an open consumer or commercial market. When taking the product from door to door, many people are not comfortable with the exercise, and there is a general believe that the product maybe fake or of a low quality.

Marketing Implications
Aanalyze the marketing implications for reaching markets segments using both "space" (digital) and a "place" (physical) mediums. How can customers move effortlessly from one to another?
The use of digital (i.e. The Internet) and traditional media (newspaper / TV) are allowing customers to be able to learn more about different products as well as services that businesses are selling. They can be used to: create more interest in the merchandise and drive sales for the organization. The way customer can easily go from one medium to the next is when they will see or hear about a particular product in traditional forms. Once this takes place, they will then visit their web site later on. (Stokes, 2010, pp. 257 -- 279)
