What is Marketing?
“The set of human activities directed at facilitating and
consummating exchanges…(where) the following three
elements must be present:
- Kotler (1972)
What are “Things-of-Value”?
• “Physical products”
• “Services”
• “Organizations”
• “Ideas”
• “People”
Selling
Face-to-face exchange of goods and money
Bartering
Face-to-face exchange of goods
What is Marketing?
Demarketing: “Discouraging customers in general
or a certain class of customers in particular on
either a temporary or permanent basis.”
- Kotler & Levy (1971)
Principles of Demarketing
• Increase the price of the product
• Add to the time and expense necessary for the buyer to procure
the product or service —"effort and psychological costs"—as a
means of discouraging demand
Example of Demarketing: Tobacco
• Singapore
– SGD $13/pack (www.expatistan.com)
– Age limit: 18 years old
– All tobacco advertising banned on March 1, 1971
– Tobacco ads on foreign magazines banned in 1992
– Graphic warning labels placed in August 2004
– Only Singapore Duty Paid Cigarettes (SDPC)
allowed starting on Jan 1, 2009

Demarketing: “Discouraging customers in general
or a certain class of customers in particular on

- Kotler & Levy (1971)
Example of Demarketing: Hermes
• Pricing: $10,000 ~ $200,000+ (retail)
“Marked by the fact that one could only buy a Birkin after developing a
long, verified financial relationship with the brand, showing
loyalty through spending roughly around $10,000 or $20,000,
some of the notable challenges of landing a Birkin bag include the
multi-year long waiting list and stringent quota that only
allocates even Saudi princesses only two Birkin bags per year. And
with stores being allocated only a very small number of bags
discreetly held in the back, odds are slim for customers to get a
particular color, material, and size upon first try.”
Example of Demarketing: Hermes
• Pricing: $10,000 ~ $200,000+ (retail)
• Distribution
– Only 307 stores worldwide1 (vs. 3,860 for LVMH2)
– No outlet/off-price stores
• Undisclosed number of inventory and waiting list
• A “stringent quota” (two/yrs even for Saudi princesses)
• Must develop a “long, verified financial relationship”
(i.e. spending $10,000~20,000)

Consumer Behavior is
The totality of consumers’ decisions with respect
to the acquisition, consumption, and disposition
of goods, services, time, and ideas by (human)
decision-making units (over time).

Wrap-Up
• What is Marketing?
– Create, Communicate, Deliver, and Exchange Value
– Identifying and Meeting Needs (“product/offering”)
– Individual, Organizational, Societal level
• Types of methods
– Qualitative vs. Quantitative
Recommendations
Two Types of Data
• Primary Data
– Data directly collected by the research entity for its own purpose
– Examples
• US Government (e.g. US Census)
• Samsung (e.g. SA 950 3D Monitor)
• Academics (e.g. subject pool, Mturk)
• World Health Organization (e.g. Mental Health Statistics)
• Secondary Data
– Data collected by an entity for one purpose and subsequently used by
another entity for a different purpose
– Examples
• Ad agencies can use US Census zipcode data to target specific segments?
• WHO Mental Health Atlas used by academics to examine the relationship
between cultural values and “openness” to mental health services
Examples of Primary Data
Original Purpose of the US Census Data
To determine the distribution of Congressional seats to states
• Mandated by the U.S. Constitution
• Used to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives
• Used to define legislature districts, school district assignment areas and other
important functional areas of government
To distribute more than $400 billion in federal funds to local, state and tribal
governments each year.
• Neighborhood improvements
• Public health
• Education
• Transportation

Samsung SA950 (3D Monitor)
• “Samsung SA950”
• Target segment: “Tech Savvy”
• Themes: “emersiveness,” “real life,” and “fantasy”
• Methods Used: Focus group & home visits
– Location: San Francisco, CA (early adopters)
– Sample size: 6~7 people
– Sample characteristics Home visits
• Female, tech savvy (Apple)
• Male, tech savvy (Dell)
• Male, tech savvy (Samsung)
Examples of Secondary Data
Cultural Orientation and Mental Health Services

of mental illnesses (WHO, 2004).

Two Types of Methods
• Qualitative
– Focus group
– In-depth interview
– Observation
– Projective techniques
• Quantitative
– Survey
– Experiment
– Analysis of secondary data (AKA “Big Data”)
Qualitative Research
What is Qualitative Research?
• A process of LESS STRUCTURED interface between
the consumer and the researcher
• Usually EXPLORATORY in nature
– Done when relatively little is known about the problem or
research issue (e.g. product or concept development)
– To generate ideas or help formulate problems for further
research (i.e. guidance for the next step)
Characteristics of Qualitative Research
• Dynamic, Flexible & Interactive
– Open-ended
– Flexible ordering of discussion items
• Probing rather than consciously suggesting answers and
evaluating responses
• Purposive sampling
– Homogeneity on variables relevant to group dynamics
• E.g. “Tech Savvy” individuals
– Heterogeneity on variables to ensure a variety of opinions
• E.g. Usage situations – Dell, Samsung, Apple
Pros and Cons of Qualitative Research

Observational Research
Observational Methods
• Systematic observation studies are distinguished
from casual observations
• a research design guides the sampling and ensures control
in standardizing what is being observed
• An observation study could be
• Descriptive (e.g. what % of “single” consumers at Starbucks are
female?)
• Designed to test specific hypotheses (e.g. are females more likely
to buy hot drinks relative to men?)
• Causal (e.g. will changing the counter display lead to changes in
purchasing behaviour?)
Sample Observation Sheet
Location: Kinokuniya, Orchard Date: 15.7.2015 Observer: George
• Super Bowl
– Water levels in a small city go down in discrete steps,
rather than in the usual continuous pattern

Qualitative vs Quantitative Research
Qualitative Quantitative
The aim is a complete, detailed description. The aim is to count responses and construct statistical
models to explain what is observed.
Often unclear what exactly is being looked for in The researcher has very clear idea what is being
advance. The researcher needs to determine what data is measured. Researcher’s own bias needs to be removed.
important and what isn’t.
The design emerges as the study unfolds. All aspects of the study are carefully designed before
data is collected.
Data is in the form of words, pictures or objects. Data is in the form of numbers and statistics.
Qualitative vs Quantitative Research
• Types of questions
– Format
– Independence of responses
• Sample
– Size
– Generalizability
Types of Research Organizations
• In-house
– E.g. Samsung Global Marketing – “Market Intelligence Team”
– E.g. BBDO: conducts research for their clients
• External
– E.g. IRI, Ipsos, Millward Brown, Euromonitor, Gallup, the Pew Research
Center
• Syndicated
– “collect and then sell the information they collect, usually to firms that
market products and services to consumers” (p. 36)
– E.g. Nielson
• Government
– E.g. US Bureau of the Census
Experiments
Consumer Behavior
• One of the key scientific element of marketing
• Science is about developing an understanding of
causal relationships
– Do marketing efforts
• E.g. A packaging change, a facebook campaign, a
temporary price promotion, distributing through a new
channel
– Have a causal impact on
• Awareness, brand beliefs, brand or product knowledge,
brand preferences, or choice?
Types of Relationships
Positive Correlation Negative Correlation Zero Correlation
• Does advertising cause sales? Can we establish that with this graph?
Correlation vs. Causation
• Does each of these findings by themselves
establish causality in one specific direction?
– Brands with celebrity endorsers have better sales
– Brands that advertise on TV have better sales
– Male beer drinkers are more price sensitive than
female beer drinkers
Correlation vs. Causation
• Spurious correlation: Lots of things are
correlated without any causal relationship
When X, Y are correlated
• X may be causing Y
– Advertising is causing sales
• Y may be causing X
– Sales is causing advertising expenditures to increase
• Temporal antecedence
