Marketing strategy must be built on clear definition of a company s target customers.!! Examples: Harrahs Casino 8-5

6 Pinpointing the Target Market!! Target customer must permeate the entire business merchandise sold, background music, layout, décor, and other features.!! Without a clear image of its target market, a small company tries to reach almost everyone and ends up appealing to few. 8-6

7 Market Research!! Market research is the vehicle for gathering the information that serves as the foundation for the marketing plan.!! Never assume that a market exists for your company s product or service; prove it!!! Market research does not have to be time consuming, complex, or expensive to be useful.!! Web-based market research online surveys!! Trend-tracking 8-7

9 How to Become an Effective One-to-One Marketer Identify your best customers, never passing up the opportunity to get their names. Enhance your products and services by giving customers information about them and how to use them. Collect information on these customers, linking their identities to their transactions. Successful One-to-One Marketing See customer complaints for what they are - a chance to improve your service and quality. Encourage complaints and then fix them! Calculate the long-term value of customers so you know which ones are most desirable (and most profitable). Make sure your company s product and service quality will astonish your customers. Know what your customers buying cycle is and time your marketing efforts to coincide with it - just-in-time marketing.
