Multi-task的题目相对比较长,读题要先从问题入手,a问需要我们将四个人物和四种market orientation进行匹配;b问单独考察market segmentation的概念。
首先,我们先来回顾一下market orientation这个知识点,市场部门在制定营销策略的时候,有四种不同的营销方式可供参考。
第一种,production orientation,以产量为导向。这种营销导向的前提是,现在市面上这种产品的需求量非常大,而供给量相对不足,处于供不应求状态。因此,供应商们完全不需要思考如何去营销。只要生产,就会有人买,产量决定了销量。这就是以产量为导向的营销策略。
第二种,product orientation,以产品为导向。这种营销导向注重于给产品增加多样化的特性,使得产品能够满足不同消费者的各种需求,吸引消费者购买。但是这种方式往往欠缺市场调查,不去考虑顾客真正的需求是什么,只是一味地去完善产品。尽管这种策略欠缺针对性,但是这些性能多样化的产品还是比较受消费者欢迎的。
第三种,sales orientation,以销售为导向。指的是以劝说消费者购买为主要营销策略。这个概念大家应该不陌生,生活中我们也经常碰到一些自己并不感兴趣或者不需要的产品,但是经过巧舌如簧的销售人员的一番劝说,甚至喋喋不休,消费者最终购买产品。
第四种,marketing orientation,以市场为导向。指的是以满足客户需求为营销策略。这种营销导向需要花费时间和精力去做大量的市场调研工作,以探寻客户的真正需求。找到客户的需求点之后,再有针对性地去改善我们的产品,以此吸引消费者购买。
回顾了这四种market orientation之后,相信这道题目的选择就非常简单了,我们来看一下各种orientation的关键词。
(i)Paul---C关键词persuade to buy
(ii)Mary---B关键词additional features
(iii)Alan---A注意区分production是产量,product是产品(iv)Kate---D关键词research what customer needsb问考察的是D市场细分的定义。市场细分指的是,将消费者根据共同的特征,需求以及偏好划分成一个消费群。消费者的需求总是多种多样的,如果企业要去满足所有消费者的需求,是非常困难的。我们可以根据地理,年龄性别,收入教育,社会阶层等等因素把需求相类似的消费者划分为一个消费团,然后去选择最有利可图的某一个细分市场,集中企业的资源,制定有针对性的营销策略,在这个市场上获得竞争优势。
