Use America To Sell Candy. Let's Use July 4th As A Way To Sell More. With 9P's Of Marketing.

 If you're a brand manager and July 4th is coming up and you need to look at "People," "Product" and packaging and "Promotion" including holidays and benefits.

I use my 9P's to solve Marketing problems and find opportunities. 

Increased reason to buy and sell Tootsie Rolls? 

My 9P's of Marketing do include include these important concepts, practices and components:

Who would have thought I could use the 9P's with Partners, Product, Place, Presentation and Promotion to illustrate an unusual insight or example for the Fourth?  

To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.

  • Planning and Research. Planning for marketing activities, objectives, strategies and tactics. Sales. All sales, whether in services, fashion, sports, amusement parks, hotels, resorts, autos, fast food, retail sales or tires, refreshments or cereal, as three examples. From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
  • People (Segmentation and Targeting)
    • Consumers and users, as in shoppers. Fashion consumers. Add sports fans. TV viewers. Purchasers of sports jerseys. In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users
  • Product and Services, includes sports teams, people and celebrities too. I teach that perfection resides in quality, not quantity.
  • Place (Distribution), includes retail and online. How about locations of team stadiums, amusement parks and resorts?  
  • Price or Pricing, many contingency plans needed.  
  • Promotion
    • There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
    • The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:
      • Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
        • Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering. 
      • Advertising: 
      • Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."
      • Sales Promotion, advertising mascots can fit here, too. Signage would fit here. 
      • Collateral Materials
      • Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
      • Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
      • Events and Experiences, sampling
      • Public Relations/PR
    • One stop shopping is more important than ever. 
  • Partners/Alliances, can be one of the most powerful of the 9P's if researched, performed and handled well.                 
    • There should be moving forward towards shared goals or goals. 
  • Presentation:
    • The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

      Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.

  • Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product

Across Town And Included Highways. Delivering An Autonomous Tesla. Truly A “Place” Example, Under The 9P’s Of Marketing.

An Autonomous Tesla. Delivery. 

Truly A “Place” Example, Under The 9P’s Of Marketing.

AI.

Hands-free delivery

My example of artificial intelligence and robotics representing the future, specifically the electric car company. No one in the car and with no remote operators in control of the car.

On his X, Elon Musk wrote that Tesla delivered an autonomous Tesla Model Y from its factory to a customer’s (“People”) home.

Definitely a promotable event or PR occasion. No photo on X yet but a video is coming and promised.

Add that this delivery was one day ahead of his 54th birthday on June 28th. .

What’s next. Robotaxis and humanoid robots to show new Products and Promotion in the EV company’s next chapter.

Sales are still sluggish from all the negative publicity with the consumer backlash to Musk’s role in Trump’s administration.

I use my 9P's to show examples. To solve Marketing problems and find opportunities. My 9P's of Marketing do include include these important concepts, practices and components:

While AMC and M&M’s Never Seem To Change Their Creative And Promotional Spots in Theatres, I Was Reminded By This Star Wars/Disney And Coca-Cola Promotional Story With 9P's Of Marketing Examples.

AMC and M&M’s never change their creative and promotional spots in theatres.

Coca-Cola and Coke do. 

I like going to a theatre once a week to see a movie. I rate FI better than Mission Impossible or as I call it "Mission Improvable." 

I was reminded by this stories and using the 9P's of Marketing to illustrate going to movie theaters. 

Enough is enough. I’m so sick of seeing Nicole Kidman at AMC where she can make the movie going experience worse. Not better. 

I have seen spots for M&M’s run for years. Before and after Covid---that’s way too long a time.

As a brand manager or advertising specialist, you’ve good burn out and wear out times hundreds.

Too much frequency and too little creative.

Here's a positive an good examples of the Nine P's. So we have a promo and collaboration or alliance with “Star Wars” and Disney and Coca-Cola.

 “Star Wars” fans reenact specific scenes from the movies in a promo film. It’s “Star Wars” and Coca-Cola magic, named “Refresh Your Galaxy."

There are Cokes at a bar resembling the Mos Eisley Cantina.  Add Jedi, Darth Vader and light-sabers. Want a good example of Presentation under the 9P’s---the theater workers have C-3PO and R2-D2 outfits.

More sales promotion. There are limited-edition Coke cans and bottles featuring “Star Wars” characters and augmented reality (AR) experiences.  For exclusivity, three "Product" can designs will be available only in Disney theme parks.

A Coca-Cola VP said: “This collaboration is about more than just bringing together two iconic brands—it’s about celebrating the power of ‘Star Wars’ fandom, shared passions and the strength of community when we lift each other up.”​ (Coca-Cola x Disney)

I use my 9P's to solve Marketing problems and find opportunities. I teach the 9P's. Here's a package and product which may lure "people" to buy and use. And it's addictive. 

My 9P's of Marketing do include include these important concepts, practices and components:

Who would have thought I could use the 9P's with Partners, Product, Place, Presentation and Promotion to illustrate an unusual insight or example. To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.

    • Consumers and users, as in shoppers, soft drink consumers. Fashion consumers. Add sports fans. TV viewers. Purchasers of sports jerseys. In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users
  • Product and Services, includes sports teams, people and celebrities too. I teach that perfection resides in quality, not quantity.

They work closely with partners and alliances outside the firm, and with other company departments (inside partners). o Partnering with brands outside their sector will open up added sales, new area or new “People.” 
    • Partnerships and teams that feel a connection to the work and the purpose are going to speak far more passionately together and to your or their “people,” and with far more influence. 
    • A partnership; the joint relationships, partnerships and strategic alliances: The relationship existing between two parties; a relationship resembling a legal partnership and usually involving close cooperation between parties having specific and joint rights and responsibilities as a common enterprise.

Things To Think About With Copyrights And Copyright Status? Under "Planning" And "Promotion," In The 9P's Of Marketing.

My 9P's of Marketing were copyrighted in 2007. I've been an advertising and marketing expert since 2002. 


I invented the Nine P's of Marketing  starting in the '95 why teaching at USC, CSUN and all five campuses of Pepperdine in the MBA program.

Copyright status refers to whether a creative work is protected by copyright law, and if so, the specific terms and duration of that copyright protection. 

I teach it is determines who has the right to reproduce, distribute or perform the work. 

Copyright status may vary depending on factors like the work's creation date, whether it was published, and if it was registered with the Copyright Office (.gov). 

As an example, I'm adding some practical steps on a current and long-term topic, AI .

I teach that you must ensure your AI-generated images comply with copyright laws:
  • Under planning and promotion research and understand the copyright status of any reference images or data used.
  • Know your permissions
  • Avoid using copyrighted materials without permission.
  • Be sure to provide attribution and credit when and where applicable.
  • For my blog, I like pexels.com. I use royalty-free or public domain resources whenever possible.

Most times Marketers can’t create customer value and build customer relationships only by themselves. Companies, agencies and networks work closely with partners and alliances outside the firm, and with other company departments (inside partners).   

I use my 9P's to solve Marketing problems and find opportunities.

Two Sides To The "Runaway Hollywood Production" Equation

Several 9P's including Passion, Place and Price are involved, under the 9P's. Runaway production started in the 1940's and surged in the 1990'a and presently continues in multiple countries and states. .

With a Marketing perspective, several ways to look at this.

When countries such as Canada, UK, Italy, Czech Republic, Australia and Ireland and states like Georgia also called "Hollywood of the South,"  New York, New Mexico, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, West Virginia are offering incentives and taking production out of Hollywood. 

A few reasons but the biggest is incentives, Some of the production incentives range from 20% to 30%. 

What exactly is "Runaway Hollywood production?" It refers to film and television projects intended for release in the US but filmed outside of the Los Angeles/Hollywood/San Fernando Valley areas.

Perception And Reality Are Important To Marketing And Understanding Consumers Or "People" Under The Nine P's of Marketing

Perception and reality are important to Marketing and understanding consumers. 

I have a Marketing presentation which features photos from the 105 countries I have visited for marketing seminars, business and pleasure. Examples of new Products, old Products, Place or Distribution, Promotion, Partners and Presentation

I use my 9P's to solve Marketing problems and find opportunities. My 9P's of Marketing do include include these important concepts, practices and components:

Who would have thought I could use the 9P's with Partners, Product, Place, Presentation and Promotion to illustrate an unusual insight or example. To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.

  • Planning and Research. Planning for marketing activities, objectives, strategies and tactics. Sales. All sales, whether in services, fashion, sports, amusement parks, hotels, resorts, autos, fast food, retail sales or tires, refreshments or cereal, as three examples. From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
  • People (Segmentation and Targeting)
    • Consumers and users, as in shoppers. Fashion consumers. Add sports fans. TV viewers. Purchasers of sports jerseys. In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users
  • Product and Services, includes sports teams, people and celebrities too. I teach that perfection resides in quality, not quantity.
  • Place (Distribution), includes retail and online. How about locations of team stadiums, amusement parks and resorts?  
  • Price or Pricing, many contingency plans needed.  
  • Promotion
    • There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
    • The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:
      • Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
        • Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering. 
      • Advertising: 
      • Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."
      • Sales Promotion, advertising mascots can fit here, too. Signage would fit here. 
      • Collateral Materials
      • Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
      • Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
      • Events and Experiences, sampling
      • Public Relations/PR
    • One stop shopping is more important than ever. 
  • Partners/Alliances, can be one of the most powerful of the 9P's if researched, performed and handled well.                 
    • There should be moving forward towards shared goals or goals. 
  • Presentation:
    • The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

      Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.

  • Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product
