Internet is the first commercial medium in which it is possible to measure consumer response (e.g. view, click, sale and lead), not just assume it.

= CPC("Cost Per Click") / CR

important for controlling etc.

Conversion rate (CR)

e.g. 50.000 booked a flight --> = 50.000 / 90.000 ? 55,56%

= # new customers / # new visitors

qualit of traffic

Click-through rate (CTR)

= 90.000 / 4.500.000 = 2 %

= CT / PI

proportion of users viewing ads and click on them

click-through (CT)

e.g. 90.000 clicks on the ad

every time when user clicks on advertisment

Page impressions (PI)

e.g. 4.500.000

1 person viewing 1 web page

Marketing is getting more and more analytical

In reality: Marketing Department vs. Sales Department

Marketing (incl. Sales) Department for selling

Marketing as a Leadership Philosophy (“Strategic Management/ Marketing”)

"Marketing must be lived and breathed"

Marketing is not only for Profit-Organisations!

Problem: SWOT-Analyse very difficult and often not fitting since NPOs have no buyers (--> stakeholders instead)

Porter's Five Forces

The role of marketing (research) is to provide information for a managerial decision

--> guiding question: "How attractiv is a given market?"

Marketing & Market Research supports this

Why Should the Entire Organization “Live” Marketing?

times changed

80' - today: Marketing Orientation

Slogans: "WE are family", "WE love tou entertain YOU", "WIR sind es UNS wert", "IHR Ziel ist UNSER Weg"

Assumption: Achieving organizational goals depends on determining the needs and wants of target markets and delivering the desired products, services and solutions more effectively and efficiently than competitors do

lots of competition, supply >> demand --> engage customers

Selling Orientation

Organizations should therefore engage in hard selling!

Assumption: Consumers will not buy enough of the organization’s products unless the organization undertakes a large-scale selling and promotion effort.

70's: product orientation

Slogans: "Alles Gute aus Hollywood", "Führend im Service an Board", "The world's favourite airline"

Organizations should therefore devote their energy to making continuous product improvement.

Assumption: Consumers will favor products that offer the highest quality, performance and features.

consumer more money --> buy higher quality

50's, 60's: production orientation = production orientation

Management should therefore focus on the improvement of production (and distribution) efficiency.

Assumption: Consumers will favor products that are available and highly affordable.

strategic levels / decisions

"mindset"

"put the customer to the center"

Marketing as Exchange

can be about money / education / degreees

"Marketing is about managing an exchange relationship"

Definition Marketing

value for cutomers

exchange offerings

Why is Marketing so critically important in these days?

in most industries: overproduction --> supply > demand

--> customers orientation == success since --> customer in the driver's seat

--> competition

supply < demand

"Marketing not so important"

Where would/should Marketing start?

customers

right at the beginning --> Market research

Characteristics:

customer-oriented

long-term-focussed
