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.

EOC Target Market Strategy

make Febreze Sport an essential product by marketing it to men who want to be proud of their whole lifestyle. make FS a a must have by reinforcing the the idea that a lifestyle includes fragrance as well as toys and image. It's all just show if it isn't as fresh and clean.

Thus, in target marketing, the issue is not really who is targeted but rather how and for what. Controversies arise when marketers attempt to profit at the expense of targeted segments—when they unfairly target vulnerable segments or target them with questionable products or tactics. Socially responsible marketing calls for segmentation and targeting that serve not just the interests of the company but also the interests of those targeted.

According to Patagonia president and CEO Casey Sheahan:
  • To avoid complacency, we must constantly examine our internal processes to improve upon the positive and mitigate the negative. The Footprint Chronicles allows us to do this publicly—sort of learning out loud. Our customers are scientists, activists, professors, doctors, and more—they have the collective experience and knowledge we’re looking for. We’re highlighting exactly what happens in the manufacturing process and asking customers for their … help in efforts to find solutions to our less sustainable practices. It’s a unique dialogue—but one that will ultimately allow us to cause less harm to the planet.
