  • Business Studies Unit 3.1 Marketing
    • Marketing
      • This involves identifying and understanding customer needs and wants
        • Businesses need to think about marketing in order to reduce risk of product failure, understand their customers and keep up to date with market trends
      • Market Segmentation
        • A market segment is a group of customers in a market that have similar characteristics and needs
          • E.g. You can segment the car market by the type of car a person drives (sports, people carrier etc.)
        • Market Segmentation helps businesses carry out market research and target promotions at specific groups
      • Market Research
        • This is the gathering of information about customers, competitors and market trends through collecting both primary and secondary data
          • There are three stages - Planning and designing the research, doing the research and analysing the data collected
    • Product Trial/Repeat Purchase
      • A product trial is when consumers buy a product for the first time to find out whether they want to buy it again
        • If this is successful then this can lead to repeat purchases and customer loyalty
      • Product Trial methods include advertising, public relations, free samples, viral marketing (facebook) low trial prices
      • Businesses want to keep customers loyal so that they generate sales and revenue, they do this by using special promotions, reminder adverts and customer loyalty schemes
    • Product Life Cycle
      • This involves the graph with introduction, growth, maturity and decline
      • Businesses can increase the life of a product by using extension strategies. This involves slightly changing the product so that it has a fresh appeal
      • There is also product portfolio analysis and cash flow
        • An example of a product portfolio analysis is the Boston matrix (star, dog, cash cow, question)
