Industrial Marketing
By:-SaurabhSwarnimVivek
Why Study INDUSTRIAL
MARKETING ????
Because
• Composition is Uniquely different– Product – Quality Maintenance– Information – Answering Technical, Economic, organizational
question over a long period of time– Financial – Granting Credits, Currency Exchange– Social – Trust Interpersonal Relationships
• Forces that affect Industrial Demand are differentC:\Users\Vivek\Desktop\Michael_Porter_Five_Forces_Model.png

• Employment Opportunities
Industrial Marketing is the human activity directed toward satisfying wants and needs of organizations through the exchange process.
Industrial Marketing consists of all the activities involved in the marketing of products & services to organizations, institutions etc, that use products and services in the production of consumer or industrial goods & services and to facilitate the operation of their enterprises.
Definition
Points of Parity
• Must define Target Markets• Determine the needs of those market• Design products for those “needs” satisfaction• Communicate and Reach those markets
Industrial Marketing is more a responsibility of General Management
Points of DifferentiationCharacterstic B2B B2C
Product Technically Complex, Often Customized
Non-Technical, Standardized
Price Competitive Bidding, Negotiated Pricing, not so

Service Very Important Somewhat
Market Characteristics
• Size of the Market– Relatively few Industrial Customers
• Geographic concentration– Jamshedpur
• Competitive nature of the market– Oligopsonistic buying
• control of the purchase of a commodity or service in a given market by a small number of buyers
– Large firms tend to dominate many markets
• Product Characteristics– Technical– Service & support more needed
Industrial Demand
• Derived Demand– Demand for B2B is derived from the ultimate demand
for B2C– Recessionary Effects
• Joint Demand– Demand for B2B depends upon its use in conjunction
with another product or service– B2B customers prefer to buy joint products lines from
one supplier
Cross Elasticity of Demand
• Substitute Effect– a good's demand is increased when the price of another good is increased– Steel & Aluminum, Margarine & Butter
– More the availability of Substitute, more is the Cross Elasticity of demand
• Complementary Effect– the demand for a good is decreased when the price of another good is
increased– Computer hardware and computer software, Printer & Cartridge– Demand is more closely related
In B2B, it is important to measure the interrelationships among industries
Reseller’s Market
• Similar to Industrial Market
• Market Characteristics– Retailers have strong bargaining power (Wal-Mart)
• Product Characteristics– Customized products– Additional Cost factors removed– After Sales Service is a major differentiating factor
• Buyer Characteristics– Compare technical features of different competiting products– Unlike industrial buying, multiple buying influencers & decision makers
are involved
Reseller’s Market
• Channel Characteristics– Length of distribution depends on type of Product– Availability of Goods is very important, or may lead to
lost sales
• Promotional Characteristics– Emphasis on Personal selling
• Price Characteristics– More concerned
Importance of Reseller’s Market
• Ability to affect consumer demand directly through– Increased promotion– Value enhancing services– Reduced price
• Positioned closest to ultimate consumers– Better feedback, Information catalyst
• Joint Demand
Few Check Points
• Excessive preoccupation with products
• Too much technical orientation and not Customer Service
• Customer benefits and Needs satisfaction should be the center of attention
