In this chapter, we dig deeper into steps two and three of the marketing process: designing customer-driven marketing strategies and constructing marketing programs. First, we look at the organization’s overall strategic planning, which guides marketing strategy and planning. Next, we discuss how, guided by the strategic plan, marketers partner closely with others inside and outside the firm to create value for customers. We then examine marketing strategy and planning how marketers choose target markets, position their market offerings, develop a marketing mix, and manage their marketing programs. Finally, we look at the important step of measuring and managing return on marketing investment (marketing ROI). | LECTURE 8 Consumer Markets and Consumer Buyer Behavior Part-1 Copyright 2012 Pearson Education Inc. 1- 1- 11 Publishing as Prentice Hall Topic Outline Model of Consumer Behavior Characteristics Affecting Consumer Behavior Types of Buying Decision Behavior The Buyer Decision Process Copyright 2012 Pearson Education Inc.
