- Read the case below carefully and answer the following questions. Big Data, Big Business, Big Opportunities Imagine working 10 years to become the lead marketing executive at a large retail organization only to find that your competitor is invading your market share by 20 percent each year. You quickly decided to launch several online marketing promotions while improving your products, but find your efforts are fruitless as your competitor continues to steal your customers, destroying your profits while raising its own. As you begin to analyze your competitor's business strategy, you find that while you were focused on sales reports, product inventory analysis, and other traditional marketing efforts, your competitor was making a massive investment in upgrading all of its management information systems. This included systems capable of collecting, storing, and analyzing data from every store, product, and sales representative in the market.

You need to conduct research on consumer acceptance for a new product. Describe the process you would use. How would your project change if the product solved an embarrassing problem?

I do not believe it would be wise for Playboy to change their name or line of business. There is a lot of fame and popularity behind the name. Although Playboy might not be as popular as it once was, there are still individuals today that buy merchandise from the company just for its name. If the company were to change its name it would lose that credibility and popularity. There would be a loss of history behind the brand, which could decrease the overall profits and revenues of the company. Playboy is considered to be at the top of its industry, and changing its name would make it the same as every new brand coming into the industry. There would be no differentiation to persuade buyers. This would also make it incredibly difficult to market and campaign the brand because the brand would ultimately be the same as everyone else. Although if a change is truly needed, then Playboy could rebrand…arrow_forwarda) Increasingly, a key goal of marketing is to develop deep, enduring relationships with all entities that directly or indirectly affect the success of the firm.

- What is Eskimo Joe’s value proposition? How does its value proposition relate to its market offering?arrow_forwardREFLECTION: If you're thinking about starting a business, most likely you have dreamed of one that involves your interests. But, what does the market need or want? Do you know who is buying what and how much, or how, where and why they are buying those goods or services already?

It requires research into areas of marketability,arrow_forward“If you build it, they will come.” (Source: https://articles.bplans.com/target-marketing/) That’s what the author believed when he was first starting out. He assumed that if he opened a business, customers would just show and no major marketing effort required. Other entrepreneurs take the complete opposite approach and treat marketing as if it’s the 1916 Battle of the Somme wherein they throw all of their resources in the general direction of their intended audience and hope something hits its mark. The “if you build it they will come” approach is pretty risky. Just because it worked in Field of Dreams doesn’t mean there’s any reason at all to think that your ideal customers, the ones who both need your product or service and will pay for it are just going to magically find you and start showing up in droves with their dollars. There is a greater chance that Kevin Costner will show up at your door in a baseball uniform later today. Target marketing is researching and understanding…arrow_forward
