THE 4 FUNDAMENT AL PRINCIPLES OF MARKETING STRATEGY
(enumerate)
1.Specialization
2.Differentiation
3.Segmentation
4.Concentration
The first thing to determine is where you are going to ____________.
specialize
What is your domain, product, service, customer, market where you want to focus?
Specialization
Let me clarify that with an example of Subway. A subway customer is someone who wants to eat quickly and healthy at the same time. He wants cleanliness, efficiency, and value. So subway constantly looks for products that appeal to these customers and continue to offer them. They would never do something that does not go with their specialization.
Specialization
Specialization answers the question/s?
What is your domain, product, service, customer, market where you want to focus?
What is your competitive advantage? How is it that you are different and better than the competition?
Differentiation
Customers want a reason to buy from you and not the competition.
Differentiation
Customers always want to get the best deal, there is nothing personal here. They just want the highest quality at the best price.
Differentiation
If you ask businesses what is their USP (UNIQUE SELLING PROPOSITION)? 9 out of 10 times you will hear “Quality Service, Quality Service, and Quality Service!” What people don’t understand is that this is an answer only if your competitor offers Zero quality or Zero service. Anyone who says “Quality Service” actually has no idea about why someone should buy from him and probably is a danger to your company if he is an employee.
Differentiation
Differentiation answers the question/s?
What is your competitive advantage? How is it that you are different and better than the competition? What is your unique selling proposition (UPS)?
Differentiation
(enumerate)
- Your competitive advantage
- Your area of excellence, superiority
- Your “Unique Selling Proposition” Where are you or could you be “the best?”
All marketing today is ________________.
