Earlier approaches

The marketing orientation evolved from earlier orientations namely the production orientation, the product orientation and the selling orientation.[8][7]
Orientation Profit driver Western European timeframe Description
Production[8] Production methods until the 1950s A firm focusing on a production orientation specializes in producing as much as possible of a given product or service. Thus, this signifies a firm exploiting economies of scale, until the minimum efficient scale is reached. .A production orientation may be deployed when a high demand for a product or service exists, coupled with a good certainty that consumer tastes do not rapidly alter (similar to the sales orientation).^ Does having access to a daily stream of consumer feedback from high praise to disappointments in product and service influence how media releases or ads are written?

Product[8] Quality of the product until the 1960s A firm employing a product orientation is chiefly concerned with the quality of its own product. A firm would also assume that as long as its product was of a high standard, people would buy and consume the product.
Selling[8] Selling methods 1950s and 1960s A firm using a sales orientation focuses primarily on the selling/promotion of a particular product, and not determining new consumer desires as such. Consequently, this entails simply selling an already existing product, and using promotion techniques to attain the highest sales possible.
Such an orientation may suit scenarios in which a firm holds dead stock, or otherwise sells a product that is in high demand, with little likelihood of changes in consumer tastes diminishing demand.
Marketing[8] Needs and wants of customers 1970 to present day The marketing orientation is perhaps the most common orientation used in contemporary marketing. .It involves a firm essentially basing its marketing plans around the marketing concept, and thus supplying products to suit new consumer tastes.^ Fortune: HOW COKE DECIDED A NEW TASTE WAS IT Losing out to Pepsi in important markets, Coca-Cola launched a $4-million consumer test that .

The purpose for market segmentation is conducted for two main issues. First, a segmentation allows a better allocation of a firm's finite resources. A firm only possesses a certain amount of resources. Accordingly, it must make choices (and appreciate the related costs) in servicing specific groups of consumers. Furthermore the diversified tastes of the contemporary Western consumers can be served better. .With more diversity in the tastes of modern consumers, firms are taking noting the benefit of servicing a multiplicity of new markets.^ The company is beginning to actively market and promote the service in the consumer market.

Types of marketing research

Marketing research, as a sub-set aspect of marketing activities, can be divided into the following parts:
  • Primary research (also known as field research), which involves the conduction and compilation of research for the purpose it was intended.
  • Secondary research (also referred to as desk research), is initially conducted for one purpose, but often used to support another purpose or end goal.
.By these definitions, an example of primary research would be market research conducted into health foods, which is used solely to ascertain the needs/wants of the target market for health foods.^ What we'll find is that making a good marketing piece is only half the challenge, which in itself needs to understand these "decision-making" principles.

 .Secondary research, again according to the above definition, would be research pertaining to health foods, but used by a firm wishing to develop an unrelated product.^ All I know is it will definitely be somewhere in the U.S. Why would I spend my money overseas when my own country could use the boost?
.Primary research is often expensive to prepare, collect and interpret from data to information.^ While a portion of this job will be administrative (compiling research materials, organizing client information for distribution, data entry, etc.

 .Nonetheless, while secondary research is relatively inexpensive, it often can become outdated and outmoded, given it is used for a purpose other than for which is was intended.^ The few "experts" who have tried MarketingCrossing and dared to be different and have used the site, have generally become instant converts; they use the site themselves, recommend it to others, and so forth.

 Buying behaviour is usually split in two prime strands, whether selling to the consumer, known as business-to-consumer (B2C) or another business, similarly known as business-to-business (B2B).

B2C buying behaviour

This mode of behaviour concerns consumers, in the purchase of a given product. As an example, if one pictures a pair of sneakers, the desire for a pair of sneakers would be followed by an information search on available types/brands. .This may include perusing media outlets, but most commonly consists of information gathered from family and friends.If the information search is insufficient, the consumer may search for alternative means to satisfy the need/want.^ Some go by referrals from friends and family, but by and large, most couples "fish" to find a photographer that works for them.

  • Marketing: News & Videos about Marketing - CNN.com 13 January 2010 22:45 UTC topics.cnn.com [Source type: News]

 In this case, this may be buying leather shoes, sandals, etc. .The purchase decision is then made, in which the consumer actually buys the product.^ Familiarity and a positive brand perception not only affects decision-making, but it can actually have a more stimulating effect on the human brain than the actual product itself.
  • Photography Marketing 13 January 2010 22:45 UTC www.danheller.com [Source type: General]

 Following this stage, a post-purchase evaluation is often conducted, comprising an appraisal of the value/utility brought by the purchase of the sneakers. If the value/utility is high, then a repeat purchase may be bought. This could then develop into consumer loyalty, for the firm producing the pair of sneakers.

B2B buying behaviour

Relates to organizational/industrial buying behavior.[14] B2C and B2B behavior are not exact, as similarities and differences exist. Some of the key differences are listed below:
In a straight re-buy, the fourth, fifth and sixth stages are omitted. In a modified re-buy scenario, the fifth and sixth stages are precluded. In a new buy, all aforementioned stages are conducted.

Services marketing

.Services marketing,[15] as the label suggests, relates to the marketing of services, as opposed to tangible products (in standard economic terminology, a tangible product is called a good).^ Decide the best people to market your product or service to and go after that group.

 ^ Are you still resisting setting up a Web site or marketing your products or services online?

 ^ Intern staffs will be cross-trained through assigned projects relating to Marketing, Research & Business Development and Product Development Process.
A typical definition of a service (as opposed to a good) is thus:
  • The use of it is inseparable from its purchase (,i.e. a service is used and consumed simultaneously)
  • It does not possess material form, and thus cannot be smelt, heard, tasted, or felt.
  • The use of a service is inherently subjective, in that due to the human condition, all persons experiencing a service would experience it uniquely.
As examples of the above points, a train ride can be deemed as a service. .If one buys a train ticket, the use of the train is typically experienced concurrently with the purchase of the ticket.^ Things to Consider When Buying Used Equipment In order to save money, it is better to purchase used equipment.
  • Idea Marketers - Marketing Channel Channel 13 January 2010 22:45 UTC www.ideamarketers.com [Source type: General]

 Moreover, a train ride cannot be smelt, heard, tasted or felt as such. Granted, a seat can be felt, and the train can be evidently heard, nonetheless one is not paying for the permanent ownership of the tangible components of the train.
Services (by comparison with goods) can also be viewed as a spectrum. .Not all products are pure goods, nor are all pure services.^ After all, that's how to get people to visit their sites and notice their products and services.
  • Idea Marketers - Marketing Channel Channel 13 January 2010 22:45 UTC www.ideamarketers.com [Source type: General]

 ^ Instead, sell them on all the great things your products and services can do for them.

 ^ As you discuss your solutions with your prospects, avoid telling them all the great things your products and services can do.

 The aforementioned example of a train ride can be deemed a pure service, whilst a packet of potato chips can be deemed a pure good. An intermediary example may be a restaurant (as the waiter service is intangible, and the food evidently is tangible in form).
