In the present world with lots of odds & with decreasing

importance of education & the decreasing loyalty towards education.

There is a need to revies the method of educated employed one of the

method is to accompany practical study with the theoretical method.

Marketing Yesterday &

Today

Marketing is the process of planning and executing the

conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and

services to create exchange that satisfy individual and organization

goal.

Traditional, much importance was given to product rather than

needs and wants of consumers. Marketing manager go on design their

product without giving through to he needs and wants of consumer.

They were trying to sell their product at any cost. Consumers were

bombarded with advertisement; in all calls, telephone calls, etc.

The aim was to earn profit through high sales volume.

Moreover, marketing was considered as buying and selling the

product.

Page 26: Priya Gold Ceramic

But now, time has changed, Marketing is considered to be

much more; the focused is given to the needs and wants to

consumers. Products are designed according to the specification of

consumers. Consumer’s satisfaction is given much importance. The

aim to earn profit through customer satisfaction. Moreover,

marketing function has also widened. Marketing includes back

warding and forwarding development, marketing research,

advertising, and many more. In forwarding functioning it includes

post truncation research, after sales service, disposal of the product,

<*> use of the product, etc. Nowadays ways of advertising is also

changing. Traditional mostly used media was television. Now people

started using internet as media of advertising. More and more number

of people is turning to development to website and net advertising.

Recently new P is introducing in marketing. First there were 5

P’s. Now there are 8 P’s. Last year New P adds is product portfolio

management. Nowadays more importance is also given to marketing

research also knows the latent needs of consumers.

Thus, Marketing yesterday and today is totaling different. One

has to adapt the change to survive in this market.

Page 27: Priya Gold Ceramic
Page 28: Priya Gold Ceramic

Societal Marketing Concept

Social marketing concept may be defined as,

“The task of achieving organizational goals is to identifying

the needs and wants of consumers and satisfying the needs and wants

by delivering the desired goods and service more efficiently and

effectively than competitors in a way the preserve or enhance society

well being”

The GCMFF are contributing in their own way to various

desirous social changes. They took steps like:

Training module of artificial insemination service.

Establishment of cattle feed making.

Marketing Mix

Marketing mix is the various marketing tools that marketer use

to sell its products. There are 4 P’s of marketing Mix.

4. Product’s of Marketing

A list of the relevant market forces and the element of the

marketing mix would be helpful in analyzing marketing problems.

The main aim of all marketing activities is “profitability”. The

marketing manger should therefore devise such a marketing mix that

will give the optimum profit for the product he has to market.

By blending this marketer make a proper plan of action to push

its products in the market.

Definition:

According to Phillp Kotler, “Marketing Mix is the set of

marketing tools that the firm uses to pursue its marketing objectives

in the target market”.

Element/Tools Of Marketing Mix

The most basic marketing mix tool is product the firm tangible

offer to the market, which includes the product quality, design,

that responsibility to the dealer to give the best quality service.

Page 33: Priya Gold Ceramic
Page 34: Priya Gold Ceramic

Product Range

A Product is anything that can be offered to a market for

attention, acquisition, use of consumption that might satisfy a want or

a need. It includes physical objects, services, persons, places,

organization and ideas.

According to EDLERSON

features and accompanying services.

There are 5 levels of the product which marketer must take in

Product mix and length

‘Product mix is the set of all product line and items that a

particular seller offers for sale to the buyer.’

‘Product line is a group of products that are closely related

because they function in a similar manner, are sold to the same

customer groups, are marketed though same types of outlets of fall

within a given price range’.

Page 37: Priya Gold Ceramic
Page 38: Priya Gold Ceramic

New Product Development

The typical new product development process followed by

Priyagold Ceramic is as follows:

The following stages are involved in NPD process.

1 IDEA GENERATION:

New Products are born from ideas. Before searching ideas, top

management should define the products and markets and should also

state the objectives for NPD.

Page 39: Priya Gold Ceramic

Sources of new product ideas:

Customers:

Loyal customers often recognize the need for improvement in

the product before companies can do. Companies can identify

customers need through complaint letters, forced group discussion,

etc. and can made changes accordingly.

Scientists, Employees, Engineers:

Company must develop a culture so that employees are

encouraged to give new ideas. They should also develop an incentive

scheme for those who give best ideas.

Competitors:

Company can purchase the competitors product to see the

functioning and accordingly they can develop new product.

Other Sources:

Pattern attorneys, university, advertising, agencies, marketing

research firms, university, business publication and so on.

Page 40: Priya Gold Ceramic

2. IDEA GENERATION TECHNIQUE

Attribute Listing:

It is listing an existing products attributes and then modifying

each attributes in the search for an improved product.

Forced Relationship:

In this several objects are considered in relation to one another

to create a new product.

Morphological Analysis:

It is identifying the structural dimensions of a problem and

examining the relationships among them.

Need and Problem Identification:

Here customer’s needs and problems are identified.

Brainstorming:

It is a group activity to stimulate the flow of ideas by

discussing a specified problem. Here rule is-

“We want as many ideas as possible and remember no

evaluation”.

Page 41: Priya Gold Ceramic

3. IDEA SCREENING:

In this stage new ideas are evaluated to determining the

promising ones. The purpose of ideas screening is to drop poor ideas

as early as possible because product development cost rises

substantially at each successive stage.

The committee should avoid two types of errors:

Drop error: It occurs when committee drop an idea which is good.

Go error: It occurs when committee go with an idea which is poor.

Most of the company uses product idea rating device while

screening the idea price performance, quality, customer satisfaction,

matches with company resources, strategies, objectives, etc. Then

idea is matched with this certain criteria and if it does not match then

idea is dropped.

Page 42: Priya Gold Ceramic

4. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING:

Philip Kotler says,

‘Attractive ideas must be refined into testable product

concepts.’

Consumers do not buy product ideas but product concept.

Product Idea : A possible product that the company might

offer to the market.

Product Concept : An elaborated version of ideas expressed in

consumer meaningful terms.

Product Image : A particular picture in the minds of

customer.

Concept Development:

A product idea can be turned into a several product concept.

Concept Positioning:

Each concept is required to be positioned so that it helps to

understand the product competition in relation to cost, time

preparation, quality, etc. These comparisons can be used to

communicate the product concept to the market.

“SCALE OF HIGH QUALITY AT REASONABLE PRICE”

Concept Testing:

Concept testing calls for testing this concept with an

appropriate group of target consumers. The concept may be presented

symbolically or physically. Consumers are presented with an

elaborated version of each concept and they are asked to react to each

concept.

If company have undertake proper concept development and

concept testing then it can avoid any problem that arises in the market

place later on in the initially stage only.

Page 45: Priya Gold Ceramic

5. MARKETING STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT:

The new product manager will have to develop a preliminary

marketing strategy statement for introducing this product into the

market. This strategy will be refined in the subsequent stages.

This marketing strategy plan consists of 3 parts.

First part describes:

Target market, structure, behavior, sales, market share, profit

goals sought in the first few years.

Second part describes:

Product’s planned price, distribution strategy and the marketing

budget for the first year.

The Priyagold Ceramic will be offered with lower price .

Third part describes:

Long run sales and profit goals and marketing mix strategy

over time.

Page 46: Priya Gold Ceramic

6. BUSINESS ANALISYS:

Once the product concept and marketing strategy are

developing management evaluate the business attractiveness of the

proposal. Management evaluates the sales, cost and profit to

determine whether they satisfy the company’s objectives. If they do

them the proposal move into next stage.

Estimating Total Sales:

Management needs to estimate whether sales will be high

enough to yield a satisfactory profit.

Total Sales = First time scale + Replacement sales + Repeat Sales.

Sales estimation depends on whether a product is one time

purchased infrequently purchased or frequently purchased produced.

Scale is one time purchased product. Here number of first

buyer initially less and then decrease as few buyers are left. Repeat

sales will soon occur provided that it satisfies some buyers. The

repeat sales curve eventually falls and become steady because by this

time, the product is longer a new product”.

Estimating First time scale:

The first task is to estimate the first time sales of a new product

in each period.

Page 47: Priya Gold Ceramic

Estimating Replacement Sales:

To estimate replacement sales, management has to research the

product survival age distribution. The low end of distribution

indicates when the first replacement sales will take place. Since,

replacement sales are difficult to measure before actual launch, most

of company base their actual decision solely on their estimate of first

time sales.

Estimating Repeat Sale:

For a frequently purchased product one has to estimate the

repeat sales. A high rate of repeat purchase indicates that the

consumers are satisfied with the product.

Estimating Costs & Profits:

After sales forecasting management have to estimate the costs

and profits of this venture. The costs are estimate by the R & D,

manufacturing department, marketing and finance department

together.

Page 48: Priya Gold Ceramic

7. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT:

I the product pass, the business test, it moves to R&D to be

developed into a physical product. Up to now it exist in the form of

word description, a drawing, or a prototype. At the stage the company

will determine whether the product idea can be translated into a

technically and commercially feasible product.

The R&D department will develop one or more prototype. The

company hopes to find a prototype that satisfies customer

requirement; it performs safely and can be produced with the

budgeted manufacturing costs.

Developing and manufacturing a successful prototype can take

days, months or even years. Lab scientists must not only design the

products required functional characteristics but also they should

know how to communicate its aspects.

Page 49: Priya Gold Ceramic

At this stage various decisions like:

Product Engineering

Branding

Packaging

Patenting

Formulating the communication programmes, etc.

When prototype is ready they go through functional and

consumer test.

Functional tests are conducted under laboratory and field

condition to make sure that the product performs safely and

effectively.

Consumer testing can take variety of forms from brining

consumers into a laboratory to giving them samples to use in their

business.

Consumers are given prototype to taste and their suggestions

are taken to make further changes in the product and to improve their

product. In short, Priyagold Ceramic undergone consumer test.

The final prototype of Priyagold Ceramic scale was available at

33% of a retail price of other scales of company toppings.

Page 50: Priya Gold Ceramic

8. TEST MARKETING:

After management is satisfied with the products functional

performance, the product is ready to be dressed up with a brand

name, packaging, and preliminary marketing programmes.

The purpose of market testing is to learn how consumer and

dealers react to handling, using and repurchasing the actual product

and how large the market is?

The amount of test marketing is influenced by investment cost,

risk factors, time pressure and research cost, so, not all the companies

choose the route of market testing.

Page 51: Priya Gold Ceramic

TECHNIQUES OF TEST MARKETING

CONSUMER GOODS INDUSTRIAL GOODS

1. Sales wave research 1. Product use test

2. Simulated test marketing 2. Trade show

3. Controlled test marketing 3. Distributors & dealers display

4. Test Marketing 4. Controlled test marketing

Priyagold Ceramic scale is a consumer good. Technique used

by Priyagold Ceramic for test marketing is Test Market. It is a

technique where company usually selects few representative cities in

which the company sales force will try to sell the product with full

exposure of advertising, promotion campaign, etc.

Priyagold Ceramic selected cities like Morbi, Ahemdabad,

Surat, Baroda, etc. for test marketing with a discount of rupees.

Page 52: Priya Gold Ceramic

This method gives several benefits like:

More reliable forecast of future sales.

Company may deliver fault that escaped in product

development stage.

Limitation of this method:

There is difficulty in converting National media plans into

local equivalent.

There is problem of obtaining a set of market that reasonably

represents the country as a whole.

Page 53: Priya Gold Ceramic

9. COMMERCIALISATION:

Market testing gives idea to management whether to launch the

product or not. If company goes for product launch it calls for high

investment because to launch a new product into the national market

requires heavy spending on advertisement and promotion in the first

year.

Commercialization involves the following aspects:

When (Timings):

In launching a new product company has to think whether it is

a right time to launch the new product. The company faces 3 choices

First entry

Parallel entry

Late entry

Priyagold Ceramic scale was launched on July 2002 to grab

the expanding market of scale range.

Page 54: Priya Gold Ceramic

Where:

The company must decide whether too launch the product in

single locality, region, national market or the international market.

Financial sound company may launch their product into full national

market. While small company first select one cities and slowly they

into other cities and they distribute in whole nation.

Priyagold Ceramic scale was initially launched in Surat,

Ahmedabad, and Baroda and then they enter other cities and now it is

available in the whole nation.

To Whom:

The company must target its distribution and promotion to the

best prospect groups. Companies’ best prospect group is one:

Who are early adopters?

Who are heavy users?

Who would be opinion leaders?

Who could be reached at a low cost?

Priyagold Ceramic scale target market is low budget customer,

ruff users, etc.

Page 55: Priya Gold Ceramic

How:

The company must develop action plan for introducing the

new product into the markets.

Priyagold Ceramic scale was launched at a discount of 15%

initially and now no discount is given to customers.

Thus, the entire process of new product development was

completed in around 1 or 1.5 year.

Adopters of Priyagold Ceramic scale are in the trial and

adoption stage.

Main factors which affect the adoption of Priyagold Ceramic

scale are:

Beliefs of customers

Priyagold Ceramic today is one of the leading company in the

scale and now its aiming to become a entire scale company. With its

newly added tag of “the electronic weighing people and clever

formulation of price and product it targets virtually all segments of

the market.

Priyagold Ceramic LCD screen displayed scale is also one such

product with low price, high capacity and high accuracy added more

value to the company targeting the price sensitive consumers in the

market.

This scale is facing some problem in the market and it not

showing any growth trends. But it found to be showing some

negative trends instead. But with proper consideration and some

required changes like aggressive promotion, re-positioning, and better

packaging the product can make it big into the market, provided there

is no increase in its price level’s and it remain at part with its local

counter parts.

I wish Priyagold Ceramic Product Ltd. & its LCD screen

displayed scale all the truck for a progressive future.
