Tap Water, Jennifer Anniston, Promotion And Partners. Is Tap Water Bottle Water? With Copyrighted 9P's Of Marketing

This post is for educational purposes.

I've come across many ways of showing examples of Marketing's 9P's, strategies, and tactics.

I've been seeing a ton of promotion of Coca-Cola's Smartwater with celebrity Jennifer Anniston.

Smartwater's alkaline line of water has an alliance or partnership with Pvolve, a fitness brand that has as a client, Jennifer Aniston.

Jennifer is also the spokesperson in the ongoing and evolving Smartwater promotional campaigns.

One campaign features Jennifer training at Pvolve's West Hollywood studio and highlights the integration of Smartwater into workout routines. In Promotion Coca-Cola calls it "real, not aspirational."

But did you know that the Environmental Working Group revealed that about 64% of bottled water is sourced from municipal tap water.

Brands like Smartwater, Dasani, Aquafina, Nestle Pure Life and Essentia are primarily using public water supplies before purifying it through reverse osmosis or distillation.

I like Marketing. I like Promotion, one of my nine P's of Marketing

I like advertising, which is one of the eight components under Promotion in my 9P's of Marketing. 

I like copy and selling points. I like finding Marketing opportunities and solving Marketing problems using the nine P's of Marketing. I like teaching them. 

I use my 9P's to illustrate Marketing examples in the classroom, in court as an expert witness, in seminars and to solve Marketing problems and to find opportunities. 

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

I am using the 9P's with Planning, People, Product, Price, Promotion, Place, Partners, Presentation and Passion to illustrate an unusual insight or example. To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.

  • Planning and Research. 

    • Finding copy points is part of the creative and promotional planning. 
    • Planning for marketing activities, objectives, strategies and tactics. Viewership, revenue, 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 travelers. 
    • 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 airports, 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 airports, 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

The Saying is “Everything Goes With Bacon?” With 9Ps Of Marketing

Well, something else, besides bacon, goes with dips, on baked potatoes, potatoes, deviled eggs, on bagels, on fish, cheese balls and more.

It was in 2017 that Trader Joe’s launched its new Product, under “Product” in the 9Ps.... “Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend.” 

Since then, the familiar combination has found its way on many bakery, produce and other items in a supermarket. Besides at Trader Joe's, the TJ brand can be purchased on eBay and Walmart.

Last Friday I went into the original Trader Joe's on Westwood and National. That's the second name of the store;  it was first Pronto Markets. 

What is it? “Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning" Blend.

TJ describes it as “simple (yet exemplary) blend of sesame seeds (white and black), poppy seeds, dried garlic & onion, and sea salt flakes.”

What about bacon? 
Wright Brand has added its new "Everything Bagel Seasoned Bacon." I’ve seen Evan Williams Maple Bourbon Bacon, and Hormel Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bacon.

While It First Looks Like "Price" Under 9Ps Of Marketing, Surveillance Pricing Is Much More


Controversial.

Looking at the same, exact "Product."

Looking at "People," under 9Ps too. 

Demographics, Psychographics, Geographics, Technographics and Behavioral characteristics. 

Companies and retailers are tracking your browsing patterns, purchase history, location, device type, and demographics. 

Surveillance pricing is the practice where companies use artificial intelligence (AI) and your personal data to charge different individual consumers (People) varying prices, different prices for the exact same product or service.

I like Marketing. I like Promotion, one of my nine P's of Marketing

I like advertising, which is one of the eight components under Promotion in my 9P's of Marketing. 

I like copy and selling points. I like finding Marketing opportunities and solving Marketing problems using the nine P's of Marketing. I like teaching them. 

I use my 9P's to illustrate Marketing examples in the classroom, in court as an expert witness, in seminars and to solve Marketing problems and to find opportunities. 

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

I am using the 9P's with Planning, People, Product, Price, Promotion, Place, Partners, Presentation and Passion to illustrate an unusual insight or example. To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.

  • Planning and Research. 

    • Finding copy points is part of the creative and promotional planning. 
    • Planning for marketing activities, objectives, strategies and tactics. Viewership, revenue, 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 travelers. 
    • 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 airports, 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 airports, 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

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said “ To put your ideas into action is the most difficult thing in the world." But Nike says "Just do it."
