Produktbeschreibung
This book offers novel methods for developing Value-based marketing strategies aimed at increasing revenue and profits. The Value concept relates all the benefits offered by a product with its price and the effort required to obtain it. Global competition requires managing Value rather than individual products or brands. This fosters customer loyalty, and provides a solid basis for relationship marketing. The book takes a practical, step-by-step approach to explain: ¿ How the forces of supply and demand interact with customer Value; ¿ The relationships between benefits, quantities, prices and costs; ¿ How to develop effective competitive strategies; ¿ How to manage inventory and product mix efficiently; ¿ How to apply the Value model to increase profitability, and solve major marketing problems. The book sets forth several new approaches for marketing and pricing decision-making: ¿ The concept of Value integrates marketing, finance, economics and accounting, in order to link Value-based pricing with relationship marketing. ¿ The law of supply and demand is restated with quantity as a function of Value instead of price; this makes it a more realistic and practical tool for understanding today¿s highly today¿s highly competitive business environment. ¿ The confrontation and complementation concepts provide useful tools for guiding marketers into new segments, and pricing products accordingly. They play a key role for devising win-win strategies, not only with customers, but also with competitors. ¿ The Value Matrix is a practical tool for understanding the product¿s positioning, analyzing its competition, setting prices and developing strategy. It aims at achieving an optimal balance between customer loyalty and product mix profitability. ¿ The Value Life Cycle illustrates how Value acts as a force that constantly changes revenue, providing insight for developing strategies in each phase of the product¿s life cycle. ¿ Analogies with physics illustrate how policy constraints create resistance to sales velocity, thereby determining the rate at which a firm advances towards its financial and marketing goals. ¿ The strategy for pricing business services applies Value to balance supply with demand; this leads to increased revenue. ¿ The marketing approach set forth unifies product portfolio and inventory management with Value-based pricing for maximizing income. Clear explanations and accessible language make this book ideal for marketing professionals and non-specialists.
