Wednesday, February 6, 13 Consumers’ needs and wants are fulfilled through market offerings. Some combination of products, services, information, or experiences. Services are not tangible - air travel, banking, tax preparation, home repair. Can’t pay more attention to products than customers. An exchange occurs when our market offerings intersect with customer demands.
  5. 2. Design a customer-driven marketing strategy What customers will we

    serve (what’s our target market)? Use segmentation and targeting to find customers we can serve well and profitably. How can we serve these customers best (what’s our value proposition)? Use differentiation and positioning to create our value proposition, the set of benefits or values we promise to deliver to consumers to satisfy their needs.

Customer satisfaction: the extent to which a product’s perceived performance matches a buyer’s expectations. Wednesday, February 6, 13 Customer perceived value is not necessarily objective or accurate. Relationships can be measured and managed. Targeted offers, firing customers. Direct interaction over social media.

    equity Customer lifetime value is the value of the entire stream of purchases that the customer would make over a lifetime of patronage. Customer equity is the total combined customer lifetime values of all of the company’s customers. Wednesday, February 6, 13 Increasing our share of customer is often more efficient than acquiring new customers. We need to be focused on the right customers.
