First
Marketing Lecture on 15th January 2016
The second
course that we have to learn on class was Marketing Management after
Organization and Human Resources. This course was lectured by Prof. Dr. Ir.
Ujang Sumarwan, M.Sc. Describing at a glance about him so far, he is an
attractive and nice lecturer. He is so friendly to all of students, he always
waves his hand to us in every moment we meet. He also tries to know us more by
having a short conversation in our meeting.
Back to the
main topic. Marketing is such an interesting subject I guess. Because marketing
is the spearhead of a company. Without marketing inside, the company will be
nothing. Even though in manufacturing company or service company. There will be
no profit and sale, or even people wouldn’t know about that company at all.
What did you
think about “Marketing”? Talking about Marketing, mostly we could say about
market, selling, product, promotion, price, negotiation, satisfaction,
loyalty, consumers, closing, needs, strategy, money, repeat order, creativity,
transaction, brand, persuasion, lobby, target, counting, and many more.
There is
always sense of marketing in every case that appear in some advertisements.
Believe it or not, it also could happen in our daily activities. For example,
there is an anecdote related to marketing, such as an incident which recently
happening in our state. A terror bombing is just happening in our capital city,
Jakarta. Sense of Marketing that we can see from this moment is, the terrorist
is using a cap on his head which has Nike brand. His picture is spreading out
in every media which is talking about him. Another anecdote, there is a figure
of Captain America on the place where the terror happened. As we know that new
film of Captain America will be released on this year soon, so it is an
indirectly promotion for every people who see that picture, and so on. Those
anecdotes are indirectly useful for promotion. Promotion is one of the
important things of marketing.
So, what is exactly the definition of
Marketing? Marketing
is the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating, executing the conception, pricing,
promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, services to create exchanges, and satisfying individual customers and organization requirements profitably. There are analyzing, planning, actuating, and controlling for the process of marketing.
The activities of a company associated with buying and
selling a product or service. It includes advertising, selling, and delivering
products to people. People who work in marketing departments of companies try
to get the attention of target audiences by using slogans, packaging design,
celebrity endorsement, and general media exposure. There are the four P’s
of marketing which are mostly known by Marketing Mix. They are Product, Place,
Price and Promotion. But nowadays, Marketing Mix has developed into seven P’s. The
enhancements are People, Process, and Physical Evidence.
Many people believe that marketing is just about
advertising or sales. However, marketing is everything a company does to
acquire customers and maintain a relationship with them. Even the small tasks
like writing thank-you letters, playing golf with a prospective client,
returning calls promptly, and meeting with a past client for coffee can be
thought of as marketing. The ultimate goal of marketing is to match a company's
products and services to the people who need and want them, thereby it can ensure
the profitability.
With marketing inside, there are many benefits that
can be gained for a company, such as
expanding market, maximizing profit, gaining sales target, building a brand, grabbing
the consumers, growing the company up, attracting the investors, creating an
image, and many more. Marketing is all about satisfying needs. Types of things
that are marketed are goods, services, experiences, events, person, places,
properties, organizations, information, and ideas. There are top ten things
that are marketed from goods. They are lamp, syringe, alarm clock, camera,
computer, vcd, radio, television, air conditioner (AC), and handphone.
For the
detail explanation about marketing management, I recommend you all to choose
this book below as the reference, which is titled “Strategic Marketing” written
by my lecturer, Prof. Dr. Ir. Ujang Sumarwan, M. Sc and others. We can find a
whole good description and also the solution for many issues of marketing.
That’s all about the first lecture of marketing
management course in our class. Hopefully we can keep that subject in our mind
and apply that in our daily activity or business. Thank you :)
