marketing explanation

This nine weeks in marketing we learned a very basic overview of what marketing is. We learned about the marketing mix, also known as the four P's of marketing, we also learned about the seven key functions of marketing, and the STP process. I will start with the first thing we learned, the four P's of the marketing mix. The first P stands for product, which is merely whatever your product is that you're trying to sell. The second P stands for place which is simply the place where people can buy your product, such as a store or the Internet. The third P is price which is just how much your product costs at said stores. The final P stands for promotion which is advertising or somehow getting your product out into the public's eyes so they will buy the product. Next we learned about the seven key functions of marketing. The first key function is Marketing Information Management or MIM. This is nothing more than doing research over which product will sell best. The next function is selling, which is exactly what it sounds like, selling your product. Then we have distribution which is making sure your product gets to the stores where it needs to be. Then there's financing where you figure out how you will get the money needed for your product to be successful. Pricing is next, and that's where you establish a reasonable price for your product. Then we have promotion which is where you make some type of advertisement for the product. There's also Product Service Management which is just making sure the product will sell. Finally the last thing we learned this semester is the STP process which stands for segment, target, and position. The first part, segment, is all about breaking down the general market into smaller more specific sections ( usually done by age). Then you can target the market by figuring out which segment best fits your product by creating ads that appeal to that age group or however you broke down the market. The third and final part is positioning your market. This is just gearing your product to be ready to fit perfectly into the targeted market that you chose. I hope that the info I have given you has given you a deeper insight into the world of marketing.

starbury

Today in marketing we watched a video about shoes. Specifically the differences between jordans and starburys. The two shoes though different in price they were essentially the same in composition. Mrs. Marbury had to make a decision between what her kids wanted and what her kids wanted. Her kids wanted the high dollar Jordans but they needed food more. i personally buy "fashion" based on mostly price, but somewhat on looks. I see no reason to buy $250 Jordans when you can get a similar shoe, like the Starbury, for $15.

marketing info management

today in class we switched gears from distribution to market info management
(mim). MIM is buisness dicipline which is focused on the practical applications of marketing techniques and the management of a company's marketing resources and activities, such as focus groups.
Focus groups are basically a group of guinea pigs who are given a few products to test and then choose the one they like best so that the company knows.
In class we did our own focus group activity where the class had 3 different sodas to choose from. We tried some of each one and then decided which we liked best. It turned out that our class chose the store brand soda instead of the name brand.
I've found this video for y'all that shows a real focus group at work

marketing distribution

today in our marketing class we learned about distribution. Distribution is how you get the product from point a to point be as quickly and safely as possible. The activity was for us to transport water and salt from one side of the room to the other. Our tools given for this activity were a napkin a spoon and a straw. My team decided to turn the napkin into a cup and spoon the slt in since we cant pick up the warehouse (cup). Then for the water we sucked it up the straw without swallowing then ran across the room and spit it into the cup. unfortunately we did not win because we weren't aggressive enough .

now more on me

i know i have been telling y'all all about band but i've neglected to tell y'all about me. i really love country music but will listen to anything i love to eat and my favorite thing to watch is definately anything to do with sports or music. my favorite school subject is all sciences because i tend to do really well in them. my favorite elective is you guessed it... band!! my marketing rocks to im really looking to get life experience out of it because i plan to do something similar to this class with my life. i plan on improving my already good teamwork and people skills by dividing the work our team does evenly. i would make a great team member b/c im very likable and easy to get along with.

ahhh summer band

for most kids summer seems super long, but not 4 me. being in the band my summer was cut in half due to summer band. since we're in houston u know our summers r hot!! as u can tell by the name of my blog i play the tuba, when u add the weight of the tuba 2 the heat u get a pretty good idea of how my summer went, long days in the heat making sure u r marching perfectly. this year we got a new director and assistant director so we've adopted a brand new marching style which is hard 4 us upper classmen since we were used 2 our old style, but id say things have gone well and im looking forward 2 our first game on friday.
school started this week and im looking forward to my sports marketing class since this is what im thinking of doing with my life. ill be back saturday to tell u how our game went
