Six marketing philosophies underpin
marketing management.
Each marketing philosophy corresponds to a
particular marketing concept and situation
applicability.
Organisations have moved through several
eras with a changed emphasis on the
marketing focus.
Production (Dominant era:1870 to 1920s)
Product concept
Selling concept (Dominant era: During the
great depression in the 1920s)
Marketing (Emerging time: 1950s)
Societal Marketing (Emerging time:1980s)
Holistic Marketing
Production
The focus is on producing products in great
numbers at a low cost.
Organisations paid little attention to what
customers needed, but instead concentrated
on what the organisations themselves were
capable of producing.
Producers concentrate on producing and
distributing more efficiently.
This orientation is applicable when the
demand for a product is greater than the
supply.
Product Concept
The concepts holds that consumers will buy
products that offer the most quality
performance and features.
The underlying assumption is that ‘goods
products sell themselves’.
The concentration was to make a bigger,
better or faster product without
acknowledging the consumers’ need.
This orientation is suitable when the market
is highly competitive and there are many
similar products in the market.
Selling Concept
With keener competition in the market,
manufacturers added new product lines and
customers had a greater selection.
The concept now focused on the seller in the
belief that the more aggressive selling and
promotional effort made by the organisation.
It based on assumption that products and
goods produced by an aggressive seller will
automatically sell.
This orientation is useful when supply of
goods exceed demand.
Marketing
This concept has evolved to where the focus
is on the needs of the buyer.
The purpose in marketing is to satisfy the
needs and wants of the customers and then
therefore encourage sales.
The situation applicability where fulfillment
of customers’ needs and wants are seen to
be an opportunity to increase market share.
Societal Marketing
This is an extension of the marketing concept
where the emphasis is on social
responsibility.
The marketers should not only consider
profits but also the effects which the
products or goods may have on the
consumers.
The organisation now more conscious of
portraying a positive image of themselves.
Holistic Marketing
The present concept focuses on relationship
marketing or customer relation marketing.
This function is establish goodwill with the
customers so that they will return as a
repeat customers or at least introduce new
customers to the company.
Holistic is a term used to describe a strategy
that enables marketer to look at the
marketing efforts as a whole , which in turn
helps develop an overall or ‘holistic
marketing plan’.
The four components of holistic marketing
are:
1. Relationship marketing
2. Integrated marketing
3. Internal marketing
4. Performance marketing
