Page 26: Niche Marketing -

 https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-niche-marketing-and-mass-marketing/

Niche marketing is defined as a marketing strategy that is
proposed to catch moderately numbered buyers in the market. This type of
marketing includes the strategy to target a specified market which means that
the marketer is aware of the group on which he has to target for its product.
The word niche can be defined as a special area of demand for a product or a
service. For example, Wholefoods is a food store the specifically targets
organic food customers. So it is cleared that they want to target the customers
who want organic food. A specific part of consumers is targeted in this type.


A niche market could stand apart from others because of:
Geographic area
Lifestyle
Occasion
Profession
Style
Culture
Activity or habits
Behavior
Demographic
Need
Feature reduction or addition

Copy the chart at the bottom of the page for Niche Marketing.
You will need to do the "Based On" column and the Niche Marketing

Post It Label: Main Marketing Strategies


Page 25 Front+ Back: Mass Marketing 
Notes:  Mass marketing is defined as a marketing strategy in which were the company tries to capture a large audience for its services. They don’t restrict themselves while marketing the product and focuses on capturing the whole customer base. the main objective behind this type of marketing is to find the supreme number of potential customers for their needs. For example, Coca-Cola is a brand that supports mass marketing, the goal of marketing is to capture a large number of users. All the consumers are targeted for this marketing irrespective of the marketing factors.


A number of techniques are used by mass marketers to appeal to the largest audience possible. The shotgun approach, which attempts to reach the audience with advertising on traditional mass media such as television, radio, and the internet, has been widely used and is likely the most familiar technique Advertisements utilizing the shotgun approach present a non-exclusive message that appeals to a broad range of customers. 

Guerrilla marketing is another commonly used tactic in mass market strategies. This strategy aims to produce advertisements that capture the attention of a large market with exciting and memorable messages while engaging consumers in a positive way.

Copy the chart at the bottom of the page for Mass Marketing. You will need to do the "Based On" column and the Mass Marketing Column.

"The cheaper it is to make a product, the longer the distribution channel."

Product Planning aka Product Service Management


Add Notes: 
The first phase in product/service management is the generation of ideas, where people develop new ideas for potential products. Next, the idea must pass through a screening process by higher up managers to decide whether it is realistic for the company, before tested with the customers to attain market research with their reactions towards it. Afterwards, a feasibility analysis takes place to determine whether it can be a benefit to the company's success. Once it is approved, the product undergoes the development process. Then it is introduced to the customers in physical form to test it again. If all goes well, then it is taken to commercialization to become mass produced. 

What is Marketing?
It helps connect businesses to their customers 
It provides a means for exchange 
It means to TELL or CONNECT with others .... or your potential customers
All business functions involved in developing, promoting, and distributing products in order to satisfy customers’ needs and wants.

Learning Target: I can understand the difference between organizational and consumer transactions.



CONSUMER TRANSACTIONS
If you have ever purchased an ice cream cone, rented a movie or taken a taxi across town, then you’ve completed a consumer transaction. An act like buying a lottery ticket might not actually net any kind of reward, but it still falls in the same category. These transactions are an integral part of an economy. People need products and services, and businesses do their part to fill consumer needs. Consumer transactions serve the purpose of providing people with the products and services they need or want. 

ECommerce is an emerging form of consumer transactions. Beginning in the late 1990s with such pioneers as eBay and Amazon.com, the Internet became a means for consumers to conduct business with companies. By utilizing the Internet, customers are able to find virtually any type of product they need or want. These transactions can be made at any hour of the day and provide consumers with the greatest amount of convenience.

ORGANIZATIONAL TRANSACTIONS
Organizational transactions are financial actions that affect the resources of a company. These can be within the business or business-to-business transactions, business-to-consumer transactions or business-to-government transactions.

Business to business, or B2B, transactions can take place between for-profit organizations or nonprofit organizations. Types of common B2B transactions are buy and sell agreements, commercial leases, sales contracts, real estate transactions and franchise agreements.

Glue in your entrepreneurship self assessment hamburger style. On the outside cover, summarizer if you think you would make a good entrepreneur and why!

Identifying Target Markets

A target market is a particular group of people of which your product is aimed. 
Figure this out before product is made
You should have more than one group of people
Customer, consumer, buyer - all the same thing 
Consumer profiles are helpful to make sure you create the right product. How did the consumer profile influence your t-shirt design?

The consumer profile influences my t-shirt design because it’s something trendy, appealing, and involves their college.Why is identifying your Consumer Profile important to becoming an entrepreneur?
Identifying my consumer profile is important to becoming an entrepreneur because it provides a clear picture of the type of people/ business you are planning to serve.
