What is Marketing? • Marketing – the process of developing, promoting, and distributing products to satisfy customers’ needs and wants. • Marketing starts at the very beginning of the product development and continues after a consumer purchases that product.
The Marketing Concept • To market effectively, fashion marketers follow the principles of the marketing concept. • Marketing Concept - the idea that businesses must satisfy customers’ needs and wants in order to make a profit.
The Marketing Concept • Businesses identify the customers, determine the products they want, and make the products available at a price the customers are willing to pay. • Businesses must also be able to communicate the information effectively to their customers. • In addition, retailers, must consider the location, atmosphere, and image of the store. The products they offer must match style, quality, and price to their customers.
The Overall Goal for Retailers • The goal is to accomplish these tasks and make a profit. • Fashion businesses must be marketing oriented at all levels of the business by planning all activities around satisfying customer needs and wants.

Behaviorists • Behaviorists– statistics about consumers based upon their knowledge, attitudes, use, or response to a product. • Marketers may look at the: • Purchase occasion: when a consumer might use the product. For example, ‘after-five’, casual, work attire. • Product benefits: the benefits that the consumer desire in a product. For example, stain-resistance or wrinkle resistance. • Usage and level commitment: How often consumers use a product and their loyalty in purchasing it.
The Fashion Market • The fashion market is too large and too diverse to reach with a single marketing approach. • For example: Gap offers merchandise for women, men, and children. Within these groups they also offer dressy or casual wear.
Fashion Merchandising • After fashion marketers have identified their target customers and desired products, they must developed plans to have the products available. • Fashion Merchandising– the planning, buying, and selling of fashion apparel and accessories to offer the right merchandise blend to meet consumers.
Retailers and Fashion Merchandising • Merchandising is the main function of apparel retailing. • Retailers buy large quantities of finished garments and other fashion products at a wholesale price and sell them at retail prices as single items or small quantities of goods.
