When looking to add a new product to the market, traditionally five steps occur in marketing research and lead to marketing actions. Of these five steps, step number three covers the collection of marketing data. Marketing data can be collected through either primary research or secondary research. The goal of this assignment is to describe both primary and secondary research, provide examples of each and determine how the author’s organization could benefit from each. The author will begin with a description of primary marketing research.
Marketing is an essentially about marshalling the resources of the organization so that they can meet the changing needs of the customers on whom the organization depends. As a verb, marketing is all about how an organization addresses its markets. Marketing is “The management process which identifies, anticipates and supplies the customer requirements efficiently and profitability”.
- The type of working environment I see myself in is one with consistency, but also has room for change and flexibility. Consistency is important to me because I like having at least a basic structure to work with. With marketing being my major I know that there are basic structures and concepts people in the field go by, but outside of that allows for the creativity. I like to think of myself as a creative person. As a college student now I am very innovative with the resources that I have available to me. For example I am a very picky eater, so something that I do for lunch when eating at the school cafeteria is that I’ll pack my own salad dressing, Nutella, and plastic container of mandarin oranges for my salads. That may not mean anything to most people but I have gotten remarks like, “Oh, that’s a good idea!” A different example that relates more to “real-life situations” is that if something appears to be broken and I feel I have the potential to fix it, I will do what I can to at least put it in better shape than it was.

The Marketing Concept The marketing concept has evolved over the last years, marketing reflects to a key approach to doing business. An organisations objective is to make profit, to do this they have to consider the marketing concept, in order to satisfy customers. For an organisation to be successful should divert its attention away from particular products and towards the interest of the customers. Customers changing their needs and wants influence an organisations strategies and plans. Meeting customer’s needs is the main key in marketing.
The Marketing process is made up of simple concepts that involve lots of research on the part of the marketer. The process begins with understanding the consumer, without knowing what consumers need or want, it would be extremely hard for firms to both develop and sell a product. Knowing that consumers want more green products due to growing environmental concerns is a very important detail. Needs and wants are what fuel consumer purchases and marketers must perform research in order to best serve their customers. Through this research, marketers are led to the next step of the process and can now develop a customer driven marketing strategy. Here, the firm must decide how it will differentiate its product from others on the market.
