Plenty Of Strategies And Decision-Making In Marketing for 2025.

You make decisions on what planning and marketing research you need to do. 

There are different Product and new Product development strategies.

Targeting or People. 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 based on:

  • Demographics. Demographic marketing 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. The 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. 
  • Behavioral segmentation, marketers divide buyers into groups based on 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. 
  • 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. ▪ 
Look at competing for the customers and not against your competition. 

Pricing decision making

Promotion. I break this element into eight parts. Advertising is just one of the eight under Promotion and Promotion is just one of the 9P's of Marketing

  • 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 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. 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
      • 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

Passion. Having your team all on the same page. 

Presentation and Branding issues. Plenty of decisions

Partners. Which partners and alliances do you need to make.

Place and distribution to get and increase the product's availability  

Six key points:




  1. Get all of the information you can
  2. Consider all of the options
  3. Weigh the pros and cons of each option
  4. Make a decision and stick to it. 
  5. Make them  group and team goals. 
  6. By the way, sometimes there are not easy answers, so go back and access generating more input from others. Involve them. Communication is EVERYTHING. .

What Had 24 Million Viewers, Beyoncé, Mariah Carter, the Taylor Swift Affect, And Watchers in 200 Countries?

Plenty of Promotion, Product, Placer and more from the 9P's of Marketing. 24 Million viewers.

Beyoncé' performing

Mariah Carter performing.

The Taylor Swift Affect.

And TV watchers in 200 Countries.

Heavily promoted. 

Over the top. Promotion. 

It was Netflix’s NFL Christmas  Chiefs versus Steelers game. .

And 65 million viewers sampled some of the two NFL games-Chiefs vesrus Steelers and Raven-Texans.

A nine hour telecast on Netflix.


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

  • Planning and Research. 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)
    • In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users
  • Product and Services
  • Place (Distribution)
  • Price or Pricing 
  • Promotion
    • There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities.

      • Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
      • Events and Experiences
      • Public Relations/PR
    • With inflation at increasing higher levels, we are seeing brick and mortar retailers needing physical traffic to survive. Gas prices at record levels are keeping customers from driving more. One stop shopping is more important than ever. 
  • Partners/Alliances: Most times Marketers can’t create customer value and build customer relationships only by themselves. They work closely with partners and alliances outside the firm, and with other company departments (inside partners).   

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. Usually plural or “Partners,” not Partner.


                Ensure that there is excellent planned and natural alignment of internal and                             external agencies/partnerships/alliances around common goals and purposes.                         They should be moving toward 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.

  • Passion

What Are The 9P's of Marketing?

Six important points, but each doesn't become a strategic planning variable under the 9P's

Starbucks: Simple: Better Products. Lower Prices.

 Customers are turning away from Starbucks.

Starbucks is asking what should they do?


Its new leadership must figure out how to get them back. 

I have it. In our neighborhood the best cup of coffee or coffee drink isn't found at Starbucks. 

The prices of coffee drinks are prohibited.

Also if you don't have decaffeinated drinks, you are losing a segment of coffee drinkers, hot and cold.

I use the nine P's.  The Nine P’s include these important concepts, practices and components:

Where Do You Place The New Proposed Tariffs In The 9P's Of Marketing?

 Under "Place" and "Price," two of the Marketing Mix Variables and Two of the nine P's of Marketing.

What is "Place" it's the variable and combination of parts in getting the Product or Service to consumers ("People.") or users. Distribution. Logistics. 

What is "Price?" It's all aspects regarding pricing. 

You need to factor in tariffs. 

\
The amount of money a consumer is willing to pay to obtain the product or service. 

Pricing includes wholesale/retail/promotional prices, discounts, trade-in allowances, quantity discounts, credit terms, sales and payment periods and credit terms. 

“Price” decision making also involves adjusting prices concerning the competitive environment, economic situations and involve buyer perceptions.

Summing up, “Pricing” is the sum of the values that customers exchange for the benefits of having or using the product or service. 

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. 
  • Product and Services
  • Place (Distribution)
  • Price or Pricing 
  • Planning and Research. 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.

  • 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 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. 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
      • 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
    • With inflation at increasing higher levels, we are seeing brick and mortar retailers needing physical traffic to survive. Gas prices at record levels are keeping customers from driving more. One stop shopping is more important than ever. 
  • Partners/Alliances
  • 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.

  • Passion/Branding

It’s About Reach, Frequency And Continuity: The Media And Audience Numbers of 70 Million Are Impressive For Netflix.

In its ad tier, Netflix has reported 70 Million Users, Globally. Reach is the total number of viewers. Frequency is how many times do you reach them and continuity is over what period of time. 

Every brand should have a story to tell.

But are you telling the right story?

Is your brand and story reaching the right people, potential purchasers?

Companies and brands can gain a deeper understanding of their target market and target audiences – and how to reach them. And for Netflix there's a way to reach the consumers or "People," in my 9P's of Marketing

For a company which once didn’t care or actually dismissed they and the subsribers are making it all work.

In a statement they reported that . “Now, over 50% of new Netflix sign-ups are for the ads plan in ad-supported countries.”

The numbers are trendy up. It was 22 million in January. 40 Million in May and now 70 Million in November.

As a media planner, most companies do not make global media buys. There are too many concerns over creative, uniqueness of different marketplaces. 

But the numbers are impressive for Netflix.

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.

Did You Know AI-Generated Works Or Content Can Not Be Copyrighted? Work As A Marketing Expert, Marketing And Advertising Teacher, And As A Marketing And Business Consultant.

The goal of content advertising is to increase brand awareness.  AI generated work may not be copyrighted. How do these concepts fit in. But first....

What is content? 
Content in advertising is content that is created with the intention of being promoted through paid advertising channels. 

Content advertising differs from content marketing, which focuses on organic growth and unpaid promotional, social media channels. 

Content advertising uses Google Ads, paid social media, and sponsored placements. Content marketing   uses organic channels like SEO, email, and social media. Not paid as in advertising

Content marketing can include a variety of content formats, such as: blog posts, videos, ebooks, whitepapers and reports or studies. 

I work as a Marketing Expert in legal matters, testified 55 times. I'm a Marketing And Advertising Teacher, And as a Marketing and Business Consultant. I learned that a federal judge did uphold a ruling that art created by Artificial intelligence cannot be copyrighted. There needs to be a human touch. Not just a connection. 

The judge agreed with the U.S. Copyright Office. They denied protection for artwork if it was created by AI. There needs to be "human involvement ." 

They stated that "the Nexis between the human mind and creative expression" is important and a crucial element for a wok to be eligible for copyright protection. 

A couple of questions come to mind. 

  • How much human involvement?
  • If you use protected images for creating new content. 
  • Who is being targeted as in my "People," in the 9P's.
  • Is it paid or organic. 
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.
