Branding, Papa Johns and “Presentation,” Under 9P’s Of Marketing

I put this blog post together to emphasize "presentation," under the nine P's.

It's about the branding of Papa Johns or Papa Johns and “Presentation,” Under 9P’s Of Marketing

“Presentation” is the act 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.

Papa Johns is updating its logo. Papa John’s or Papa Johns, in their logo, will gradually roll out their rebranding to both its “people,” its customers and employees using a phased approach

Some ingredients of the branding:

• Its color palette; they stat that these are colors of “premium” ingredients they use, including red from tangy tomatoes, green from fresh basil and off-white from fluffy, stretchy dough.
• The new type they say was inspired by the “stretchiness” of its pizza dough. The type and logo are flatter. They are simpler, more digital-friendly
• Keeping “Better Ingredients. Better Pizza.
• The logo keeps "signature" arch, drops the apostrophe,

I am a senior Forensic Marketing Expert, Advertising expert, Advertising/Marketing consultant with Londre Marketing Consultants, LLC.

I created the 9P's of Marketing. 

I own a copyright for the Nine P’s/9 P's of Marketing ©2007 concepts and Marketing practices, which augment the 1960's Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Promotion and Place) or the 4P’s by the American Marketing Association (AMA), Neil Borden and Jerome McCarthy in the study and practice of Marketing. 

The Nine P's/9P's of Marketing help identify marketing problems in a number of strategic areas and help develop profitable marketing’s objectives, strategies, tactics and solutions. The 9P's are insightful. They were created for the digital age. 

In Marketing, the "customer," or potential consumers should be the center of the universe or "king," but they are missing in the 4P's. I feel from my study and research that there needs to be more focus on the "Customer," or "People." "People" or market segments, which utilize demographics, geographics, psychographics, behavioral characteristics and technographics, are vital, learning components of the 9P's.

I consult and teach using these Marketing concepts and practices of the Nine P's/9P's of Marketing.

In the study and practice of Marketing, brand, advertising and marketing managers develop plans, strategies and tactics. The Nine P’s include these important concepts, practices and components:

• People (Segmentation and Targeting)
• Customers, potential and actual customers, plus employees. 
• In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users. 
• It's a special way at looking at diversity, if you review your gender, racial and other factors to your employees, customers, management, talent, board of directors, suppliers, partners, agencies, production and more.
• To understand your "People" or market segments, you will need to or may need to utilize many characteristics, including demographics (such as age, family size, family life cycle, gender, income, occupation, education, religion, race, culture, generation, nationality, and social class), geographics, psychographics (buyers are on basis of psychological/personality traits, lifecycle, values), behavioral characteristics (needs and benefits, decision roles, user and usage-related variables, occasions, user status, usage rate buyer-readiness stage, loyalty status, attitude and multiple bases) and technographics (potential buyers may or may not have the software and computer skills. Think employees here too, which may be a vital component or components of the 9P's of Marketing. 
• Look at your actual customers. Then once a target market is chosen, the organization can develop its marketing strategies to target a market segment or market segments
• It’s easy to market toward demographics, but brands can’t connect with people unless they learn how they think. By developing mindset-based marketing strategies, brand decision-making can better resonate with these segments, targets and audiences to increase consumer loyalty.
• Brand managers need to look at at their customers and/or potential users. Do you understand your potential customer's purchase and usage touchpoints, their habits and how they engage with your brand? Competing for their attention? 
• Place "consumers," "People" or "potential buyers" in the middle of a circle. Find information or data on them. Add the other components in the other nine P's.
• Post Covid 19 pandemic, I'm seeing "People" want an exceptional buying experience, which includes ethics and the company’s values. People are caring about convenience, comfort, ethics, and sustainability.  Look at home delivery of meals and everything on Amazon and Walmart or Target.
• “People” or consumers prefer to buy “Products” from brands that share their values and “purpose-driven” movements.
• Targeting mindsets allows brands to connect with consumers on an emotional level, which positively affects brands’ bottom lines.
• Consumer and shopping data, plus first-party data can also help brands identify what people find valuable and important. You need to know where they live, how they work and play?
• "People" or targeting has almost always been left out of the traditional "Marketing Mix," almost every diagram includes the four P's with Product, Promotion, Place and Price.
• In Marketing, from my education, training, research and analysis plus testimony, there needs to be greater focus on the buyer, "customer," or "People," in both planning ad implementation.
• Product and Services
• Under the 9P's, it's the goods and service combination the firm offers to the target market, including variety of product mix, features, branding, designs, packaging, sizes, services, maintenance contracts, warranties and return policies.
• A product (service) is anything that can be offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use or consumption that might satisfy a want or need.
• Place (Distribution)
• Price: 
• I’m finding that “People” or potential customers in my 9P’s, actual consumers are no longer buying “Products” and services based solely on “Price” and product quality.
• An IBM study found that Nearly six in 10 consumers ("People") surveyed are willing to change their buying habits to reduce environmental impact. They found that over 70% would pay a premium of 35%, on average, for brands and products that are sustainable and environmentally responsible.
• Planning
• 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: There's an 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
• Collateral Materials
• Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
• Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
• Events and Experiences
• Public Relations/PR
• Partners
• Presentation: 
• Passion

Interesting Segment Of "People," In My 9P’s: The Overemployed, With Two Jobs.

Think employees too, under "People." 

But they may be "overemployed." With two jobs. A community of professionals who are working remotely in two or more jobs. Getting paid. Extra income. They are free for the most part from financial woes, office politics and layoffs. 

Under my 9P's, “People” is the concept of attracting, engaging and converting your potential customers or prospects from the beginning of the process to purchase.

Potential and actual buyers or purchasers start with accurate, comprehensive data that works across all channels to help the company identify audience and buyer attributes to target precisely. People or employees, too.

People in my 9P's: it’s your set of buyers/purchasers, which is named a “target market;” a set of buyers who share common needs or characteristics that the company decides to serve. Market targeting can be carried out at several different levels.

Think employees, too.

Now I'll turn the table. Employees with two jobs. They are connecting to sites, such as overemployed, discord and reddit. And they are connecting with each other by voice, video, and text. They talk, share stories, chat and hang out. 

One of their messages is: Negotiate a severance and invest in your life, with two remote jobs at the same time.

I Typed In The Term “Marketing” Into Google And Found A Typo? So What is It?

What is Marketing?  

For a basic definition of marketing? 

• “Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.”
• Or “Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large."

I like this definition for clients and the classroom. 

• “Marketing is the process by which companies engage customers, build strong customer relationships, and create customer value in order to capture value from customers in return.” (Principles of Marketing, 18e, Kotler and Armstrong, 2021)

Increases In In-House Agencies Plus During Pandemic, More Marketing And Advertising Assignments Internally

We are talking more in-house agencies, more people and more projects. 

During pandemic we have seen in-house agencies get larger and more of them. There were more more Marketing and Advertising assignments being done internally, without outside agencies and partners.

Why?

1. More working at home.
2. Better collaboration. More visibility of projects and how the process is done.
3. Companies wanted more control over assignments and projects, including digital, to be within their company. 
4. Keeping Marketing assignments in-house.
5. Firms and companies got a better understanding of how media money was spent.

Under The Nine P’s O Marketing, Where Do You Put The “Container Dwell Fee?”

Price and Place, under the nine P's. I learned that any fees collected from dwelling cargo, as in containers, will be reinvested to enhance efficiency, accelerate cargo velocity and address congestion.

So what is a "Container Dwell Fee?" The ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach planned to charge ocean carriers in two categories, a fee of $100 per container.

But there‘s a kicker since that fee would increase in $100 increments per container per day until the container leaves the terminal. 

Two categories? In the case of containers scheduled to move by truck, ocean carriers could be charged for every container staying nine days or more. For containers moving by rail, ocean carriers could be charged if the container has stayed for six days or more. 

Before the pandemic, containers for local delivery remained on container terminals under two to four days.

Any fees collected from dwelling cargo will be reinvested for programs designed to enhance efficiency, accelerate cargo velocity and address congestion impacts. Helps in distribution or "Place."

Good news. There has been continued progress moving containers off marine terminals. Where did the fee come from? It was policy developed in coordination with the Biden-Harris Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force, U.S. Department of Transportation and multiple supply chain stakeholders.

• An IBM study found that Nearly six in 10 consumers ("People") surveyed are willing to change their buying habits to reduce environmental impact. They found that over 70% would pay a premium of 35%, on average, for brands and products that are sustainable and environmentally responsible.

For Netflix's New Movie "Red Notice?" Kind Of An Odd And Weird Selling Messages?

I teach that advertising is about selling benefits, about "products" or services under 9P's of Marketing. 

I teach that "advertising is structured and composed of nonpersonal communication of information, usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature, about products (goods, services) and ideas by identified sponsors through various media." 

So I noticed the odd selling messages coming from Ryan Reynolds and Maximum Effort. They are trying to create awareness for the movie "Red Notice." 

But Ryan adds that the movie:

• Besides starring Ryan also stars Dwayne "The Rock." 
• He introduces "The Misdirect," a cocktail made with Ryan's Aviation Gin brand. 
• Ryan jokes that The Rock, has his own Teremana tequila brand, and adds that tequila causes baldness. Really? 
• The ad end with "Who needs all those muscles, when you can have this?"

Movie, Gin, Tequila, Baldness, Muscles, Netflix. Does that add up?

I am a senior Forensic Marketing Expert, Advertising expert, Advertising/Marketing consultant with Londre Marketing Consultants, LLC.

I created the 9P's of Marketing. 

I own a copyright for the Nine P’s/9 P's of Marketing ©2007 concepts and Marketing practices, which augment the 1960's Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Promotion and Place) or the 4P’s by the American Marketing Association (AMA), Neil Borden and Jerome McCarthy in the study and practice of Marketing. 

The Nine P's/9P's of Marketing help identify marketing problems in a number of strategic areas and help develop profitable marketing’s objectives, strategies, tactics and solutions. The 9P's are insightful. They were created for the digital age. 

In Marketing, the "customer," or potential consumers should be the center of the universe or "king," but they are missing in the 4P's. I feel from my study and research that there needs to be more focus on the "Customer," or "People." "People" or market segments, which utilize demographics, geographics, psychographics, behavioral characteristics and technographics, are vital, learning components of the 9P's.

I consult and teach using these Marketing concepts and practices of the Nine P's/9P's of Marketing.

In the study and practice of Marketing, brand, advertising and marketing managers develop plans, strategies and tactics. The Nine P’s include these important concepts, practices and components:

• People (Segmentation and Targeting)
• Movie goers?Gin drinkers? Tequila drinkers? 
• In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users. 
• Product and Services, introducing a new movie "Red Notice." 
• Place (Distribution)
• Price

An Exercise For Marketing Planning 2022: Look at Ex-Users and Repeat Users, Under People In The 9P's Of Marketing

An exercise for 2022. Look at why the ex-users left you and buying your products and services and look at reviewing why your repeat customers keep coming back.

Want to differentiate your product. Look at targeting. I'm featuring usage under "People" and behaviors. 

I teach that defining a target market or persona requires market segmentation; the process of segmenting the entire market as a whole and separating it into manageable units.

One of the ways to separate is Behavioral segmentation.

Marketers and product managers divide buyers into groups on the basis of knowledge of, attitude, use of or response to a product or service. User status could include occasions, nonusers, ex-users, readiness to buy and loyalty status. 

Could be enthusiast, traditionalist, or overwhelmed just to name three.

Others ways to segment include:

• Demographics. Demographic market segmentation is looking at the potential or actual buyer’s age, family size, race, occupation, generation, religion, gender, family lifecycle, ethnicity, nationality, income, education, social class. Demographics may be segmented into several markets to help an organization target its consumers more effectively
  
• Geographic segmentation could be nation, country, region, city, density, climate.
• Psychographics is the science of dividing into groups on psychological /personality traits, lifestyle, or values. People in the same demographic groups may be very different in their psychological profiles.
• Technographics or technographical characteristics. Understanding your potential consumer. Remember, in the back of your mind, that the reason technology is phenomenal is because it displaces years, or centuries, of previous technology. Consumers may or may not have the skills. Think employees here too. The reason technology skills are transitory is because they will almost certainly be displaced, too. marketers should prompt usage by using techniques such as associating items with occasions to "help consumers unlock the value in their products and services.
