- product
- price
- place

1.price
- pricing strategy
- knowing the market
- elasticity
- keeping an eye on rivals
pricing strategy
- competition price
- cost + margin
- dynamic pricing: the price is changing due to a lot of traffic on the website, or due to the high season (vacations, special dates etc…)
elasticity
- elastic demand: means there is a substantial change in quantity demanded when another economic factor changes (typically the price of the good or service)
- inelastic demand: means that there is only a slight (or no change) in quantity demanded of the good or service when another economic factor is changed
2.product
The objective is to improve/differentiate the product and increase sales to gain a competitive advantage:
- Design
- Value: the ratio between price and quality is very good
- Usefulness
- Quality
- Packaging: using expensive packaging to improve your product
- Technology: electronic devices use this tool to stand out their product.
product life cycle
- Introduction phase: very expensive because you are spending a lot of money on promotion.
- Growth: your product is really working in this phase because they are buying it and the sales are very high
- Maturity: you get the maximum sales here and you do not need to make a lot of effort because everyone knows your product.
- Decline: the increase is getting smaller because you will need to innovate your product or change your product a little bit
- Disruptive innovation: innovation that simplifies and makes more affordable products and services to undesirable or ignored markets
- promotion
Strategies to make the consumer aware of the existence of a product or service
NOT just advertising; mouth to mouth communication
For example: MADCOOL festival
- place
The means by which products and services get from producer to consumer and where they can be accessed by the consumer
-The goods must be in the right place at the right time. Making sure that the goods arrive when and where they are wanted is an important question
