BuildBuild :
Here the objective is to increase the SBU's market share,
even foregoing short-term earnings to achieve this
objective.
"Building" is appropriate for question marks whose
shares have to grow if they are to become stars.
HoldHold ::
Here the objective is to preserve the SBU's market share.
This objective is appropriate for strong cash cows if they
are to continue to yield a large positive cash flow.

DivestDivest :
Here the objective is to sell or liquidate the businessbecause resources can be better used elsewhere.
That is appropriate for dogs and question marks thatare acting as a drag on the company's profits.
HarvestHarvest :
Here the objective is to increase the SBU's short-termcash flow regardless of the long-term effect.
This strategy is appropriate for weak cash cows whosefuture is dim and from whommore cash flow is needed.
Harvesting can also be used with question marks anddogs.

Satisfaction and Loyalty
Satisfaction is a persons feelings of pleasure or
disappointment resulting from comparing a products
perceived performance with his or her expectations (based on
the value proposition).
Needtomanageexpectations.
Satisfaction ismulti-dimensional
Loyalty is a deeply held commitment to re-buy or re-patronize
a preferred brand in the future despite situational influencesthat may cause switching behavior. One o the strongest
indicators of brand loyalty is the readiness to pay a premium
price.50
8/3/2019 MKTG MGMT 2012
51/189
Satisfaction and Loyalty
The link between customer satisfaction and customer
loyalty is not proportional (straight line). Xerox found out
that its completely satisfied customers were six times
more likely to re-purchase Xerox products than its very
satisfied customers.
Can the marketer influence perceived performance?
51
8/3/2019 MKTG MGMT 2012
52/189
Satisfied Customers
Are loyal longer.
Buy more (new products & upgrades).
Spread favorable word-of-mouth.
Are more brand loyal (less price sensitive).
Offer feedback.
Reduce transaction costs.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM):
Concept & Technology
Building relationships with valued customers to
maximize their long term value and profitability (customer
differentiation?)
CRM as a planning tool
CRM as a tool for efficient execution
57
8/3/2019 MKTG MGMT 2012
58/189
The Concept of CRM
All businesses, when they first start, focus on the
needs of their customers. As businesses get larger
and more complex, they often lose customer focus.
With CRM, the individual customer becomes
important once more at an acceptable cost to the
company. Through information technology, we
can obtain the right information at the right time.
The marketing effort becomes more focused and
productive.58
8/3/2019 MKTG MGMT 2012
59/189
Objectives OF Customer Relationship
Management (CRM)
Maximize the value of the companys customer base through:
Increasing longevity of customer relationship
Enhancing growth potential of each customer through cross-
selling and up-selling
Making low profit or unprofitable customers more profitable or
terminating them.
More focus on high value customers.
REMEMBER THAT CUSTOMERVALUE AND
PROFITABILITY OFTEN CHANGE OVERTIME59
8/3/2019 MKTG MGMT 2012
60/189
CRM: The Basic Process
1. Identify your customers and prospects2. Differentiate them; their needs, their value
3. Interact with them to strengthen and deepen
relationships.
4. Customize your products, services and messages to
customers
What is included in the customers data base, other than names,
addresses and telephone numbers? From where do we get this
info? Touch points.

Under what conditions does CRM investment makes economic
sense?

CRM CheckList
Do you help your employees to fulfill customer needs
regardless of where in your company they are working?
Do your customers receive a high level ofservice no
matter which channel they decide to use?
Do you proactively and intelligently inform customers
about products and services they will be interested in, and
still keep your marketing costs under control?
Do you know who your most profitable customers are?
Do you have the strategy and tactics in place to keep them?
Is the value added by CRM worth the large investment?62
8/3/2019 MKTG MGMT 2012
63/189
Downside of data base marketingand CRM
1) High investment cost
2) Staff failure to utilize the system fully; failure to
align with
oth
er internal systems
3) Customers privacy concerns
4) Closer relationship doesnt always translate intohigher profitability
8/3/2019 MKTG MGMT 2012
64/189
AN ONGOING PROCESS
Customer Relationship Management is a ongoing,
dynamic learning process for an organization
No organization has perfect information on its
customers. Knowledge of customers is continuously
enhanced through the CRM dynamics.
Make sure that your customers dont feel a threat to
their privacy.

Post-purchase behavior

Research-Based Market-Segmentation

Research Based Market Segmentation
Procedure
I. Survey of actual & potential customers (informal, formal) Motivations / needs
Attitudes / preferences
Explicit behavior
Demographic characteristics
II. Analysis Factor analysis (every factor represents several highly
correlated variables)
Discover clusters (maximally different segments)
III. Profiling segments / clusters (attitudes, behavior,demographics, psychographics, media patterns).
Remember: Segmentation should be reviewed regularly
CRM data as a source of segmentation104

Two Approaches To Segmentation
a) segment on the basis ofcustomers characteristics, then
examine possible differences in market response;
b) segment on the basis ofmarket response or customerneeds, then examine possible differences in customer
characteristics. An example of this approach: segment on
he basis of light or heavy use of the product; then research
the characteristics of each group (segment)
Most segmentation schemes combine the two approaches
Q: Can we get the members of a targeted segment to select
themselves?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
SEGMENTATION IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR
CREATIVITY
In traditional segmentation, the market is considered as a
given. What about creating a whole new market?
Segment attractiveness may change over time.
Income maybe a tricky segmentation criterion: consumers
may trade up in some categories and trade down in others.

Alternative Positioning Strategies
8/3/2019 MKTG MGMT 2012
129/189
Strengthen own current position in the consumer'smind.
Grab an unoccupied position (unsatisfied need).
Deposition or reposition the competition (e.g. where isthe beef?)
Identify one's self as a member of an exclusive
club.
Is positioning a question of communication only?
Is there an ideal position ?
129
How Many Differences to promote?
8/3/2019 MKTG MGMT 2012
130/189
y p
Don't lose focus. If your positioning is out of focus, so will be your
marketing mix and probably your whole operation !!. Try to be
number one in one or two benefits. Avoid these positioning
errors:
Under-positioning (lack of clarity).
Over positioning (narrow positioning).
Confused positioning (inconsistent or multiple images).
Doubtful positioning (non-credible claims).130
How To Differentiate: A Three Step Process

Define the customer value model (according to hisperception of value)
Build the customer value hierarchy (basic, expected,
desired, unanticipated)
Decide the customer value package which outperformscompetitors, wins customers` loyalty, and achieves profit.
Must differentiation and segmentation go together?
Does differentiation add to cost?
