Two Examples Of Female Empowerment: Same Theme: Boldness. One For Super Bowl And One For Valentine’s Day.

Under the 9P's of Marketing I include posts about "People," Targeting," Ads and more. 

Here's a theme hitting its stride in early 2019. 

It includes several important strategic philosophies and practices which guide Marketing planning, branding concepts and tools, Marketing variables, efforts and/or Marketing relationships/partnerships/alliances. 

Both feature women decision making. 

One of these two products is for chocolate and one is about dating, business and friendships. 

The "promotion" and ads are about women teams. Woman boldness. Making moves without men. 

This blog post is about two ads, one in the Super Bowl and one for Valentine’s Day, but both have similar themes.

In the first half of Super Bowl LIII there will be the introductory spot for Bumble, featuring Bumble’s global adviser Serena Williams. The PR stresses that Serena is a role model, entrepreneur, wife and mother. Ms. Williams says:

• “We’re living in a world and society where people are starting to see differently and starting to understand that we are just as strong and just as smart and just as savvy and just as businesslike as any other male in this world.”

Launched five years ago, Bumble is a social networking app that is communicating that women should make the first move, in relationships, friendships and in business. Don't wait for men.

Now coming before Valentine’s Day, Dove Chocolate has two Valentine's Day campaigns featuring TV spots that show "bold" women taking control of their day. Not waiting for men to buy them chocolate. Plus every time a woman buys herself chocolate, she gets a Valentine’s Day teddy bear.

I am a senior Forensic Marketing Expert, Advertising/Marketing consultant with Londre Marketing Consultants, LLC plus I teach Marketing and Advertising. I own a copyright for this concept, the Nine P’s/9 P's ©2007, which augments the Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Promotion and Place) or the 4P’s by the American Marketing Association, Neil Borden and Jerome McCarthy in the study and practices of Marketing.

The Nine P's/9P's help identify marketing problems in a number of areas and help develop marketing’s objectives, strategies, tactics and solutions.  The Nine P's are insightful. In Marketing. the "Customer," or potential customers are king, but are missing in the 4P's. There needs to be more focus on the "Customer," or "People." "People," market segments utilizing demographics, geographics, psychographics, behavioral characteristics and technographics are a vital component of the 9P's.

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

In the study and practice of Marketing, Marketing and Brand Managers develop plans, strategies and tactics. The Nine P’s include these important components:

• Place (Distribution)
• Price
• Planning
• Promotion:

• 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

• What are your costs in dollars and manpower or person power? Ask "Is there a different way or ways to budget?" 
• Look at different strategic partners? Their costs?
• You can differentiate with price. Discounting? Special sales? What economic and discount levels should you offer? Look at revenue versus costs.

"People," market segments utilizing demographics, geographics, psychographics, behavioral characteristics and technographics are a vital component of the 9P's.

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

In the study and practice of Marketing, Marketing and Brand Managers develop plans, strategies and tactics. The Nine P’s include these important components:

1. Planning and Research
2. People (Segmentation and Targeting)
• NFL fans and the future hone of the L.A. Rams in Inglewood, CA in 2020. Look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users. 
• "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.
• Place "consumer" or "People" or "potential buyers" in the middle of a circle. Find information or data on them.
• Add the other components in the nine P's. 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.
• To understand your "People" or market segments, it may utilize many characteristics, including demographics, geographics, psychographics, behavioral characteristics and technographics, which may be a vital component or components of the 9P's of Marketing. 
• To understand your "People" or market segments, it may 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. 
• Once a target market is chosen, the organization can develop its marketing strategies to target a market segment or marketing segments.
• Simply it's about Segmentation and Targeting. Add Positioning and you have STP, as a major first step. 
3. Product and Services
• NFL Super Bowl game with New England Patriots and Los Angeles.
• It's the goods and service combination the firm offers to the target market ("People," 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.
4. Place (Distribution)
5. Price or Pricing
6. Promotion
7. Partners:
• Many partners. In this example it's the LA Rams, city of Inglewood, and Nike plus Randy's donuts. 
• Working with others and organizations which take part in an undertaking with another or others, in a business or company with shared risks and profits.
• Also referred to as Alliances. 
• With "Partners" and your Marketing efforts, it is vitally important to partner and align with firms that have similar corporate philosophies. Simple but complex and difficult, have agreed upon objectives and strategies.

Two Super Bowl Ads: Products Aimed Or Targeting Women. Breaking The Mold, Rarely Used Technique..

While many feel that the Super Bowl advertisers are targeting men watching the Super Bowl, it was a couple of years ago that Old Spice broke the mold. Old Spice said it's women who buy some products for men or at least recommend them for their partners.

Now in Super Bowl LIII P&G is promoting its Olay brand to women watching the game and Bumble is also promoting to women. Bumble is not promoting to men and is using celebrity Serena Williams for its dating app. The message: Women making the first move in dating, business relationships, friendships.

Utilizing All Of The 9P's of Marketing, Starbucks in a Tough Location and Situation.

Under the nine P’s of Marketing, we would place this blog post as having examples, primarily under “People,” “Product,” “Presentation” and “Place.”  

With its 14,000 U.S. locations and "open door" policy Starbucks has created an environment where “People" come together and order an expensive cup of coffee. They have sandwiches, oatmeal and bakery products too. 

Here’s the tough situation for Starbucks.

They are training their personnel to treat anyone who comes into their locations as a customer, whether they intend to make a potential purchase or not. 

It’s creating situation which is challenging for them in the media and for the "partner" or employees in store. 

What if the person is only using the bathroom? 

Or is going to take a nap or sleep? 

Too noisy? 

Smoking? 

Drinking a beer? 

What if the person is panhandling? What if the person is mentally ill? Using or selling drugs? 

Homeless? It's not about a just expectations and Starbucks policies. It's much more.   

It was Starbucks which created the promotional idea that they were the “the third Place," with home and job or office being number one and number two. 

Starbucks had a highly publicized situation in Philadelphia where two black men waiting for a business meeting were a confronted and the store manager called the police. The potential customers hadn't ordered but were going to order when the business associate arrived.

It's tough and they are working with a report from a law firm on their future efforts.

I am a senior Forensic Marketing Expert, Advertising/Marketing consultant with Londre Marketing Consultants, LLC plus I teach Marketing and Advertising. I own a copyright for this concept, the Nine P’s/9 P's ©2007, which augments the Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Promotion and Place) or the 4P’s by the American Marketing Association, Neil Borden and Jerome McCarthy in the study and practices of Marketing.

The Nine P's/9P's help identify marketing problems in a number of areas and help develop marketing’s objectives, strategies, tactics and solutions.  The Nine P's are insightful. In Marketing. the "Customer," or potential customers are king, but are missing in the 4P's. There needs to be more focus on the "Customer," or "People." "People," market segments utilizing demographics, geographics, psychographics, behavioral characteristics and technographics are a vital component of the 9P's.

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

In the study and practice of Marketing, Marketing and Brand Managers develop plans, strategies and tactics. The Nine P’s include these important components:

• People (Segmentation and Targeting)
• Look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users. 
• "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.
• Place "consumer" or "People" or "potential buyers" in the middle of a circle. Find information or data on them.
• Add the other components in the nine P's. 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.
• To understand your "People" or market segments, it may utilize many characteristics, including demographics, geographics, psychographics, behavioral characteristics and technographics, which may be a vital component or components of the 9P's of Marketing. 
• Once a target market is chosen, the organization can develop its marketing strategies to target a market segment or marketing segments.
• Simply it's about Segmentation and Targeting. Add Positioning and you have STP, as a major first step. 
• Product
• Place (Distribution)
• Price
• 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
• Here are some strategic comments and questions under Promotion:
• In my example, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper used Lady Gaga's "product," or show to promote. What should you promote? Strategic copy points. Helping generate votes for an Oscar, too. 
• To whom should you target and promote? Academy voters, fans, the media to generate more publicity? Under "People/"Targeting, target market, audience with media falls here.
• Evaluate the eight different elements under Promotion and your brand's practices. That affects media planning.
• Ask is there a better way? A different promotional mix. There has to be a better way. 
• What are your costs in dollars and manpower or person power? Ask "Is there a different way or ways to budget?" 
• Look at different strategic partners? Their costs?
• You can differentiate with price. Discounting? Special sales? What economic and discount levels should you offer? Look at revenue versus costs. 
• What form or combination of promotion should you offer? Features?
• How frequent? Add media planning here.

Can The Goodyear Blimp's Promotion Be One Of The Nine P's Of Marketing? Blimp Or Marketing Worthy?

Today's post is about football, the Super Bowl and the Rose Bowl. It's Super Bowl week, no less, but this is more about college than the pros. 

Why, yes, when the Goodyear Blimp uses "Promotion" includes PR, one of the eight elements under Promotion, one of the 9P's of Marketing.  Here's an unusual member to be of the College Football Hall of Fame, the Goodyear blimp.

The first time the blimp or a small nonrigid airship hovered over a game was the 1955 Rose Bowl game matching USC versus Ohio State. The Goodyear blimp has over 2,000 games under its airship.  By the way USC leads the series of 24 games 13-10 with a tie against OSU. 

The blimp does make for a better game from your couch watching the game.
