Q & A
What were the five stages of marketing evolution mentioned in the script?

What is the 'one piece stage' in the context of marketing evolution?
-The 'one piece stage' refers to the initial stage where marketing was primarily about sales, with a focus on advertising and the sales force, and everything was about promotion.
What breakthrough occurred in the 'four piece stage' of marketing?
-The 'four piece stage' was a breakthrough because it introduced the concept of a marketing plan that integrated product, price, place, and promotion, moving away from mass marketing to a more structured approach.
What does the term 'segmentation targeting and positioning' represent in marketing?
-Segmentation targeting and positioning represent the third stage of marketing evolution, where marketers became more sophisticated by dividing the market into segments, targeting specific groups, and positioning their products to appeal to those groups.
How does relationship marketing differ from previous stages?
-Relationship marketing focuses on building long-term customer loyalty rather than just making one sale. It emphasizes keeping the customer and nurturing a relationship beyond the initial transaction.
What is the concept of 'Co-marketing' as described in the script?
-Co-marketing is the latest stage where customers are involved in the marketing process. It includes getting ideas, suggestions for products, and even creating advertisements from customers, making them active participants in the marketing efforts.
Can you provide an example of Co-marketing mentioned in the script?

What is the significance of involving customers in creating ads, as seen with Burger King's ad contest?

Why is defining the scope of a business crucial in a marketing strategy?
-Defining the scope of a business is crucial because it helps in making strategic trade-offs, focusing resources on targeted segments, and avoiding the dilution of efforts across too broad a market.
What differentiates a company in the eyes of its customers according to the script?

📈 Evolution of Marketing Strategies
The speaker outlines the evolution of marketing through five distinct stages. The first stage was focused on sales, with an emphasis on advertising and sales force, termed as the 'one piece' stage. The second stage introduced the 'four piece' marketing plan, integrating product, price, place, and promotion, but still within a mass marketing framework. The third stage brought segmentation, targeting, and positioning, allowing for more sophisticated marketing approaches. The fourth stage was about relationship marketing, emphasizing customer loyalty and retention. The latest stage is 'Co-marketing,' where customers are involved in the marketing process, contributing ideas for products and even creating advertisements, as exemplified by Lego and Burger King. This stage is still emerging and represents a shift towards customer participation in marketing strategies.
🔑 The Essence of Strategy and Differentiation
The second paragraph delves into the concept of strategy, referencing a Harvard Business Review article and the work of Michael Porter. To have a strategy, one must be able to articulate three key components: a measurable objective with a defined deadline, a well-defined business scope with clear trade-offs, and differentiation. Differentiation is twofold: a unique value proposition and a distinct set of activities that deliver this value. The example of a Mexican towel company, Philosophy Our, illustrates how a value proposition and a unique set of activities can set a company apart from its competitors, even when the basic product is similar.

Transcripts
being in the field of marketing for many
years I realized that we've the concept
of mark of marketing has gone through
five stages and it's a fifth stage which
you probably don't know about the first
is that marketing was really sales it
was ever a study of advertising and
sales force and I call it the one piece
stage
everything was promotion then we went
into the four piece stage which was a
breakthrough because now we would like a
marketing plan and we want to integrate
those five those four elements product
price place and promotion but it was
still in a mass marketing stage you know
like everyone can buy our product and
and let's put the four pieces together
then we got into the third stage which
was segmentation targeting and
positioning where we got more
sophisticated a book would come out and
micro marketing on segments targeting
and so on and positioning and then we
thought that was the end all but then we
came into relationship marketing when we
began to say I want the customer to be
loyal I want to keep the customer and
not just make one sale and we've stayed
in that stage for a while now the latest
kind of thing is called perhaps Co
marketing to not just market to your
customers but to involve your customers
in your marketing in the sense of
getting from them ideas suggestions for
products even doing the ads I mean there
are cases now where Lego has a lot of
its customers who love Lego create new
Lego things and new Lego systems and and
and works of art and so on
there there and and at no pay I mean the
company is these people just love
working with Lego or or maybe even some
companies that have encouraged their our
customers to create ads for them in fact
an ad contest
who could create the best ad for Burger
King I remember Burger King ran a big
thing and so much participation so many
commercials came to them from people who
wanted to get involved in trying to make
a commercial for Burger King so we call
that getting your customers to be either
helping in creating products or
promotions or other ideas and we haven't
seen that much yet but it's a it's
something to watch in other words how
many of you basically are doing more
than just selling to your customer what
is strategy a very good HBR Harvard
Business Review article that again
raised the question what is strategy no
Mike Porter has done a great amount of
work on this question and the article
that I read recently was saying that you
don't have a strategy unless you could
articulate three things one is what your
objective is and that's a measurable
objective that you will accomplish in a
certain with a deadline date and and
it's it's very well it's measurable
secondly the scope of your business has
to be well defined the scope because
you're gonna make trade-offs I I make
these products for that group I'm not
going to try to get every group to buy
it you're handling your trade-offs and
then thirdly the differentiation how
you're really not only with that
objective that's unique to you that
scope where you do your business the
scope of your business the geographical
scope the industry scope and the
strategy and what we call the
differentiation now differentiation is
two things
it's your value proposition and your
activity set the set of activities so we
have a company in Mexico called
philosophy our and now a lot of
companies make towels but first of all
it's a fashionable Taos
they're printed as a matter of fact
beyond that they're high-quality and
they're designed for for buyers of
towels around the world and maybe just
think of hotels hotels have to have a
set of towels that they want their name
on their towels do they want it to be
what kind of texture they want in any
case that's their the value proposition
is if you really care about fine towels
you go to this company and then that may
sound pretty much like the value
proposition of one of their competitors
but it's in the set of activities by
which you deliver that value proposition
that sets you apart
