'Companies that market experiences realize that customers are really buying much more than just products and services. They are buying what those offers will do for them. “A brand, product, or service is more than just a physical thing. Humans that connect with the brand add meaning and value to it,” says one marketing executive. “Successfully managing the customer experience is the ultimate goal,” adds another.'

EOC 8 :Disastrous New Products

Antibacterial Fingernail Polish for Men: why would men need this ? are we concerned that men are so dirty they need anti bacterial protection painted on them? I think it started in Japan but it didn’t even work there. Most Industrialized people are not going to be sold on the extra need for such a thing
Ham Flavored Ice Cream , okay Bacon maybe but ham? What kind of topping do you put on this? Baked Pineapple? Really if I want a Sunday dinner as a dessert what have I become?
Disposable Underwear, not everything about this idea is bad ..say if you are a Soldier Fighting a War or a Mountaineer, or you are Exploring a remote society in some far flung corner of the earth ..maybe then and only then will you have the remotest excuse for not washing your undies..nah ,I can’t even sell this to myself!

EOC Marketing Mix:;Price

Febreze has a comprehensive web distribution as seen in this link   febreze offers
a fantastic product priced to sell easily available online and in stores. Febreze sport extreme odor Eliminator retails online for 5.99! A quality product affordable  and accessible to everyone.

One powerful result of integrating digital with traditional media is what Unilever calls “superdistribution,” the idea of getting Web programs, most often video, picked up by other media—most often for free. One of the best examples is Dove’s “Evolution” video created as part of its “Real Beauty” campaign. “Evolution” shows an ordinary young woman being transformed into a beautiful poster model with a lot of help from a make-up artist and photo-editing software. The end line: “It’s no wonder our perception of beauty is distorted.” “Evolution” has racked up an impressive 20 million views on YouTube and other video sites. But throw in viewership via everything from TV news and talk shows to classrooms and general word-of-Web, and global viewership has exceeded 400 million. To put that in perspective, the video—which cost just $50,000 to make—has created the equivalent of $200 million worth of free media coverage.

EOC Marketing Mix : Distribution

P&G products are widely available worldwide. Direct sales from the internet offers a easy access to customers without the intrusion of television/ radio ads and bulk mailing. Customers can do their research comfortably and at their pace and they feel good about comparison shopping online .

Direct marketing also offers sellers a low-cost, efficient, speedy alternative for reaching their markets. Direct marketing has grown rapidly in business-to-business marketing, partly in response to the ever-increasing costs of marketing through the sales force. When personal sales calls cost an average of more than $400 per contact, they should be made only when necessary and to high-potential customers and prospects.³ Lower-cost-per-contact media—such as business-to-business telemarketing, direct mail, and company Web sites—often prove more cost effective.

building good customer relationships calls for more than just developing a good product, pricing it attractively, and making it available to target customers. Companies must also communicate their value propositions to customers, and what they communicate should not be left to chance. All of their communications must be planned and blended into carefully integrated marketing communications programs. Just as good communication is important in building and maintaining any kind of relationship, it is a crucial element in a company’s efforts to build profitable customer relationships.
