Targeting: Mem Versus Women's Voting Trends. Looking Back 40+ Years. This Year's Election.

It use to be men voted more than women. Looking back to the 1980's. 

Not true in today's world. Women are voting more in larger numbers and with more frequency.

And besides the gender issue in voting, it is who do they as in men versus women favor as their candidate.

It hasn’t always been this way. Before 1980, men consistently voted in higher percentages than women. Especially in presidential elections..

That’s because of another trend: the gap between how men and women view issues; it's simply their views are different or differ.  Some candidates have seen the proportional differences and have changed their messaging and media spending. 

In mid October in a USA TODAY/Suffolk University national poll, women decisively backed Kamala Harris. The survey said 53% to 36%. 

Not the same for men. Men favored  Donald Trump.  In the support for Trump, it was 53% to 37%. Men versus Women. 

So it looks like today, more women are voting again and that favors Harris. We will see if margins hold; it could be that its a huge disparity since a gender gap in 1980.

In the study of Marketing, both candidates are Product. And they both spend a ton on Promotion, especially advertising

The Nine P’s include these important concepts, practices and components:

• People (Segmentation and Targeting)
• In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users. If you are a political candidate you are looking at voters, as consumers. 
• Product and Services
• Place (Distribution)
• Price or Pricing 
• Planning
• Promotion: 
• There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 


• In the 2024 election, ad spending topped $10 billion. From NPR, spending on campaign ads is up $1 billion from four years ago, according to data and analysis of AdImpact and NPR.  T
• Let's look at the eight parts of just Promotion in the 9P's. 
• 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 LVIII on CBS.
You may not know that Google, Facebook and Amazon attract 46 cents of every dollar spent by advertisers. In fact, Google and Facebook are the dominant digital advertising market vendors in the US, accounting for a combined 48.4% of total digital ad spending.

Coupons Come Under “Promotion” and “Sales Promotion” and “Price” In The 9P’s Of Marketing. Supercuts is targeting Non Users And "Haters" With A Coupon That Raises The Price Of A Haircut

Sound dumb. Or trying too hard. 

With falling revenues and shutting down stores, Supercuts comes up with a gimmick under Sales Promotion in the nine P’s of Marketing

Supercuts needs a marketing or promotional strategy that works and delivers.

They have been closing stores and fewer people are getting haircuts. Every four weeks has now stretched to six, seven or eight weeks. Covid changed the purchase habits.

What did they come up with? A sales promotion gimmick? A reverse coupon. Supposedly this could be a Super Dumb idea or one that stands out. Or both.

Supercuts launched a new campaign which they are trying to be funny. The coupon raises the price of a haircut.

Supercuts calls it the Real Dumb coupon. They are targeting non users and “People” under the nine P’s.

Their digital director employee said:

“The brand has been straight down the middle for a long time, so presenting anything comedic or self-aware is pretty unique. What we loved about the coupon is, it’s a stupid idea but it’s undergirded by a truth, which is that a good cohort of non-Supercuts guests think $65 or $75 is what they should be paying for a haircut every four, five, six weeks.”

So aren’t they with their promotional strategies to some who don’t get it, keeping them on the outside looking in?

Worst Halloween Candy in 2024 and Probably 2025? With The 9P's Of Marketing.

First I will describe it or them? 

What it looks like it doesn't taste like?

They defy logic, for candy purchasers or aficionados.

For the majority of trick-or-treaters, they’re a "trick" on Halloween night.

May have an undeniable nostalgic charm.

They are orange-colored.

They can have the texture of stale marshmallow. So they are not candy corn, but candy corn is on the list of worst candies for some and fav for others. 

You can't buy them at the circus. 

Least loved in a national survey of candy purchasers.

Has held the worst candy position for years.

Spongy. Sometimes that's good, but, in the minds of purchasers and consumers, not in describing this item. 

Banana-flavored, is that flavor real or artificial? 

Adults and kids would rather not find in their trick-or-treat bag.

What are they?

Circus Peanuts, which taste more like sugar and banana than peanuts.  

What's number one. Usually M&M's or Reese's Peanut Butter cups, which tastes like sweet peanuts with a chocolate covering.

I'm writing this in 2024 and Circus Peanuts will probably be ranked the worst candy for 2025, too.

Significant Change On Travel Refunds From Department of Transportation: I’d Put These Six Points, Under "Product" And "Price" In The 9P’s Of Marketing.

 Thinking about refunds which you will receive.

Know more and be better prepared. 

The Key is three hours domestically and six hour for international travel.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) has detailed when airlines owe travelers a refund. 

All airlines in the USA will now be required to refund travelers for significant changes to their flight.

What would a major change or significant change look like?

"People" and passengers are asking what constitutes a “significant change?”

1. A departure or arrival time that is more than three hours from the original time for domestic flights.
2. A departure or arrival time that is more than six hours from the original time for international flights.
3. Changes to the departure or arrival airport.
4. An increase in the number of connections.
5. A downgrade to a lower class of service.
6. A connection at a different airport or flights on different planes that are less accessible or accommodating to a person with a disability.

A New Tune And Network. Put This Grammy Network Change Under “Place” and “Promotion,” Under 9P’s of Marketing, From CBS to ABC and Disney, Under 9P’s of Marketing.

A new tune and a new network. 

Social media, Celebrities, TV viewing have changed.  

It will take over 50 years to change. It's the Grammys which will be on ABC. 

Disney and ABC now have the Grammys, first change for music awards in 50+ Years

Since 1973, the annual music awards program, on CBS, will move to Disney in 2027, in a ten year deal.

Here’s hitting a triple or trifecta.  In 1927, Disney et al will have rights to show the Grammys, the Super Bowl and the Oscars in 2027.

While viewership is way down, there was an increase in audience from last year to this year. In 2013 viewership was 40 million. But in 2024 viewership was 16.9 million.

Revenue Sharing Or Not Sharing: What Is SVOD? Here Are A Couple Of Examples Using Real Companies

SVOD means or come from Subscription Video On demand. 

Why is it important? It has to do with “Partners," under the 9P’s of marketing? Revenue sharing.

It is a business model for streaming video and TV that's accessible through a paid subscription: 

It’s also defines a subscription business model where subscribers are charged a fee (usually monthly or a per movie cost) to access your video content.

Question for People, of consumers: Am I getting the right “Price” for the content I’m looking for?

• In 2018, Netflix made the decision to stop new SVOD subscribers to sign up through Apple’s app store
• In 2024 Disney has stopped allowing its new SVOD subscribers to sign up through Apple’s app store.

Why? Strategically? So each Netflix  and Disney keep the revenue and not paying 30% to Apple.

Times are changing in the battle for subscribers, aggregation and revenue.

National TV Spot For CocaCola? Fight on with USC, CocaCola Brand Manager.

Mysterious? Planned for sure. Hidden message?

Things go better with Coke? 

Check out the cooler for the guys on a national TV spot featuring Coca-Cola.

Is it an Easter egg? Someone added to the props?

An Easter egg in a commercial, spot or a film is a hidden detail, reference or message that's intentionally included for fans to find.

Easter eggs can be visual gags, inside jokes or homages to other works. Like your favorite school.

Sometimes they can be hard to spot while watching. I had to go back and see what I thought I saw. 

Fight on, CocaCola.

Under "Place," in the 9P's Of Marketing, What's Unusual With the Marketing of VW's new model Scout?

With an unusual marketing and distribution, VW is betting billions of dollars on Scout.

VW isn't betting or working with their dealers. 

Strange. Marketing. For sure. 

Simply put, instead of working with their dealer network, VW is going DTC or Direct To Consumers, to real CAR BUYERS. 

It is “VW’s decision to attempt to sell Scout vehicles direct to consumers.  That's competing with their own dealer network.

Dealers are hitting back.

From CEO Mike Stanton of National Automobile Dealers Association said "VW’s decision to attempt to sell Scout vehicles direct to consumers and compete with its U.S. dealer partners is disappointing and misguided, and it will be challenged,” National Automobile Dealers Association CEO Mike Stanton said in an emailed statement. 

It's been reported that both CEOs of VW and Scout have not been talking or responding to VW's initiative. 

Here's a question: How do they handle servicing. They plan to have service centers set up. 

Plenty of logistical and marketing questions.
