1. Marketing Channels and Value Networks
Marketing channel– Interdependent organizations participating
in the process of making a product available
for use or consumption
Value Networks: Demand Chain Planning– Thinking of the target market and designing the supply
chain backward from that point– Company can estimate whether more money is made
upstream or downstream– Aware of disturbances anywhere in the supply chain– Can go online with their business partners
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
1A. Importance of Channels
PUSH vs. PULL marketing– Push: sales force, trade promotion money to
induce intermediaries to carry, promote, and sell product to end users • For low brand loyalty, brand choice made in the store,
product is an impulse item, and product benefits well understood
– Pull: advertising, promotion, and other forms of communication to persuade consumers to demand the product from intermediaries• High brand loyalty, high involvement in the category,
consumers are able to perceive the difference between brands, brand is chosen before going to the store
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
1B. Importance of Channels
Channels chosen affect all other marketing decisions– Sales force and advertising decisions dictate
training and motivation dealers need– Channel choices depend on company’s marketing
strategy with respect to segmentation, targeting, and positioning
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
KEY CONCEPT #1
Most producers do not sell their goods directly to final users. Between producers and final users stands one or more marketing channels, a host of marketing intermediaries performing a variety of functions. - Kotler example: Philips use of international retailers (Best
Buy, Costco, etc.) - Local & medical example: MSD or GSK with Mercury Drug
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
2. Channel-Design Decisions
Channels produce 5 service outputs– (1) Lot size, (2) waiting and delivery time, (3)
spatial convenience, (4) product variety, (5) service backup
Establishing objectives and constraints- Stated in terms of service output levels and
associated cost and support levels
Identifying Alternatives- Differ in 3 ways: the type of intermediaries, number needed, and terms and responsibilities of each
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
2a. Responsibilities
The main elements in the trade-relations mix– Price policy– Conditions of sale– Distributors territorial rights– Mutual services and responsibilities
Evaluating Major Channel Alternatives- Estimate how many sales each alternative will generate- Estimate the costs of selling different volumes through each
channel- Comparing sales and costs
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
KEY CONCEPT #2
Marketing channel decisions are among the most critical decisions facing management. The company’s chosen channel(s) profoundly affect all other marketing decisions. - Kotler example: Bowflex fitness equipment sold through the
phone- Local example: Internet selling by Zalora Marketplace- Medical example: OTC drugs being sold in the
supermarkets
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
3. Channel Management Decisions
Channel power– The ability to alter channel members’ behavior so they take
actions they would not have taken otherwise• Coercive power• Reward power• Legitimate power• Expert power• Referent power
Evaluating Channel Members- Counseling, retraining, motivating, or terminating
underperformers- Standards: Sales-quota attainment, average inventory levels,
etc.
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
4. Channel Integration SystemsVertical Marketing System– Conventional marketing channel – separate businesses
maximizing own profit– VMS – unified system
• Corporate VMS – successive stages of production and distribution under single ownership
• Administered VMS – successive stages of production and distribution through the size and power of one of the members
Horizontal Marketing System- 2 or more unrelated companies join resources to exploit
emerging opportunities
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
KEY CONCEPT #3
Companies use intermediaries when they lack the financial resources to carry out direct marketing, when direct marketing is not feasible. - Kotler example: Avon sales representatives sell cosmetics
door-to-door- Local: Promodizers selling cigarettes to customers in
bars/nightclubs- Medical: Drug representatives being sent to give samples to
doctors to encourage them to purchase from them
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
5. Conflict, cooperation, competition
Types of conflict and competition– Horizontal channel conflict – between channel members at the
same level– Vertical channel conflict – between different levels of the
channel– Multichannel conflict – 2 or more established channels that sell
to the market
Causes- Goal incompatibility - Unclear roles and rights- Differences in perception- Dependence of intermediaries’ on the manufacturer
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
KEY CONCEPT #4&5Effective channel management calls for selecting intermediaries and training and motivating them. - Kotler example: Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger took a hit when they
sold too many of their products in discount channels.- Local & medical example: Training medical representatives well so that
they are knowledgeable in their products and motivated to sell them
Marketing channels are characterized by continuous and sometimes dramatic change. Important trends are the growth of vertical marketing, horizontal marketing, and multichannel marketing.

Concept 1: Choosing the Target Market and Reaching Out to Them
• Target Market– Retailer cannot make consistent decisions about product
assortment, store décor, advertising messages and media, price, and service levels
– Very critical and can be costly– Kotler Example: Zales (market jeweler)
• Decided to chase upscale customers so they started purchasing more expensive jewelry, losing their traditional customers without penetrating the newly targeted market
– Local Example: Penshoppe’s target market is particularly for the adolescents and young adults
– Medical Example: Vicky Belo dermatologic services particularly for celebrities
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
Concept 1: Choosing the Target Market and Reaching Out to Them
• Channels– Means by which a company reaches out to its customers– Mostly choose multiple channels but these channels have to be
designed to work together effectively– Kotler Example: Victoria’s Secret
• Made use of retail stores, catalogs, and internet
– Local and Medical Example: HMOs reach out to their target market (usually large companies) by telemarketing, door-to-door visits, and by building websites.
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
Concept 2: Meeting the Expectations of the Target Market, Generating More Consumer Interest
• Product Assortment– Choosing the products that will match the shopping expectations of
the target market in terms of breadth and depth– Types
• Narrow and Shallow (e.g. Pizza Hut stall)• Narrow and Deep (e.g. Rita’s Italian Ice)• Broad and Shallow (e.g. Hospital Cafeterias or Food Courts)• Broad and Deep (e.g. Hotel Buffets, Vikings)
– Kotler Example: Aeropostale• Research on 11-18 year-olds in order to stay up-to-date with fashion trends; had
them be involved in programs on the internet to create new styles
– Local and Medical Example: Private tertiary hospitals mostly cater to patients from the higher socioeconomic class; hence, they need equipment and services that will match these expectations.
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
Concept 2: Meeting the Expectations of the Target Market, Generating More Consumer Interest
• Product Differentiation Strategy– Generates more consumer interest– Some Local and Medical examples:
• SM got Forever 21 and other international brands so that customers would rather go to SM malls compared to others. (gaining exclusive rights over merchandise not available in the regular market)
• Folded and Hung generated sales by selling Marvel and Star Wars apparel. (blockbuster distinctive merchandise)
• Doctors specializing in their field (offer a highly targeted assortment)
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
Concept 3: Procurement of Products and Setting Prices
• Procurement– Establishing merchandise sources, policies, and practices– Involves tracking inventory, computing economic order quantities, order
goods, and analyze dollars spent on vendors and products– Local and Medical Example: Hospitals looking for suppliers for
equipment needed.
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
Concept 3: Procurement of Products and Setting Prices
• Prices– Key positioning factor; must be set in relationship to the target market,
product-and-service assortment mix, and competition– High mark-up, low volume vs. Low mark-up, high volume– Everyday Low Pricing
• Can sometimes be beneficial to the company in terms of lowering advertising costs, greater pricing stability, a stronger image of fairness and reliability, and higher retail profits
– Local and Medical Example: The Medical City and St. Luke’s Hospital both have the same target market so prices for available services should be comparable.
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
Concept 4: Giving Importance to Services Made Available
• Services– Prepurchase, Postpurchase, Ancillary
• Example: Fitting a dress, Having it altered, Going to the restroom while waiting• Medical Example: Waiting Area has forms of leisure and entertainment, Falling in
Line for Payment, Available restrooms in the area
– Most important: Customer Service• Medical Example: The secretaries / executive assistants of doctors who are first-
line in greeting patients when they come in for a check-up.
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
Concept 5: Setting the Store Atmosphere, Communications, and Location
• Store Atmosphere– Appealing to all 5 senses of the customer, depending on the target
market– Local Example: Bayo
• Appeals to the more laid back fashion / personality compared to professional attire• Stores have very white, bright, or pastel colors; Music is usually pop or acoustic
but never heavy on the ears; The shelves used are very smooth and also white in color, etc.
– Medical Example: Pediatric Clinics• Pediatric clinics should be filled with color, toys, and candy so that the children will
feel comfortable and at home.
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
Concept 5: Setting the Store Atmosphere, Communications, and Location
• Communications– Use of ads, coupons, fliers, social media, magazines, etc. to promote
the brand, product, or service– Local Example: Penshoppe
• Using newspaper and magazine ads, making use of popular international celebrities to represent their clothesline, having an instagram and facebook account, etc.
– Medical Example: Vicky Belo• Using newspaper and magazine ads, making use of popular local celebrities as
well as their testimonies to market her services.

Concept 5: Setting the Store Atmosphere, Communications, and Location
• Location– Consider accessibility, traffic, parking availability, and consumer
shopping habits– Local and Medical Example: St. Luke’s Hospital strategically placing
themselves in the Fort, BGC to cater to those who live in the Makati and Taguig area.

Medical Example
Celebrity X-deals (celebrities thank their doctors publicly for their service)
