  3. Strategic Decisions • Permanence • Aggressiveness • Type of Demand Sought • Competitive Advantage • Product Line Replacement • Competitive Relationship • Scope of Market Entry • Image

  4. Permanence • Permanent, stand-alone. • Permanent, but as a bridge to other items -- e.g., platform strategy. • Temporary. Given firms’ tendency to develop streams of products, more and more new products are actually only temporary.

  5. Some Other Strategic Platform Decisions • Aggressiveness (aggressive versus cautious attitude at entry) • Type of demand sought (primary versus selective) • Competitive advantage sought (differentiation, price leadership, or both) • Competitive relationship (aim at a competitor, avoid a competitor) • Image (create a new image, tweak an existing image, use the already-existing image)

  6. Scope of Market Entry This is not test marketing. This is launch. All forces in place and working. • Roll out slowly -- checking product, trade and service capabilities, manufacturing fulfillment, promotion communication, etc. • Roll out moderately, but go to full market as soon as volume success seems assured. • Roll out rapidly -- full commitment to total market, restricted only by capacity.

  7. The Target Market Decision • Alternative ways to segment a market • end-use, geographic/demographic, behavioral/psychographic, benefit segmentation • Micromarketing and mass customization • Also consider the diffusion of innovation

  8. Factors Affecting Diffusion of Innovation • Relative Advantage • Compatibility • Complexity • Observability/Trialability • Risk

  9. Product Positioning • Who -- Why -- How • To whom are we marketing? • Why should they buy it? • How do we best make the claim?

  10. To Whom Are We Marketing? • Users vs. non-users (primary vs. selective demand) • Target market criteria (demographic, geographic, psychographic, benefit segmentation) • Everybody -- no narrowing down (mass customization, Post-It notes)

  11. Why Should They Buy It? • This too we have been testing -- basic concept statement used for testing and for guiding technical, and the key reason on the “How likely would you be to buy this if we marketed it?” • Formatted in three ways: • Solves major problem current products do not. • Better meet needs and preferences. • Lower price than current items.
