The societal marketing concept
Production Concept Quality products at affordable prices sell themselves Philosophy Minimize costs to lower prices, keep quality comparatively high Objective Focus on production & distribution efficiency to maximize sales and revenue How?
Marketing Concepts – Production Concept (Summary) The production concepts hold that consumers will prefer products that are widely available and inexpensive. Managers of production oriented companies concentrate on achieving high production efficiency, low costs and mass distribution. The company assumes that consumers are primarily interested in product availability and low prices. This concept holds good in those cases where the cost of production of the company is more than the cost of production of its competitors and the demand for the product exceeds its supply
2.Product Concept The product concept holds that consumers will favor those products that offer the most quality, performance or innovative features Managers in these organizations focus on making superior products and improving them over time The product concept can lead to what Theodore Levitt calls “marketing myopia”. Marketing myopia is the wrong concept about the product and its purchase by consumers
The Selling Concept The selling concept assumes that consumers and businesses, if left along, will ordinarily not buy enough of the organization’s products. The organizations must therefore undertake an aggressive selling and promotion effort. SALES PROMOTION PRODUCT
