         <description><![CDATA[<div>Neuromarketing is a new field of marketing that applies medical tools like MRI to deepen the knowledge of customer needs. Commonly visuals like photos and videos are presented to the subjects while being present in a MRI scan in a laboratory. Brain activities and therefore brain responses to specific marketing stimuli are observed. Researchers measure the changes of different brain regions to identify customer needs. This methodology presents an authentic overview into a consumer’s decision making process compared to classical interviews. Henceforth, it can be detected if i.e. the color was the main stimulus (push) for purchasing the product. Nonetheless limitations can be detected. This methodology can only be applied in a controlled environment, meaning a laboratory is necessary. Hence, this approach is rather time and technology intensive (Source: Neuromarketing by Roger Dooley et al.)<br><br></div><div>Sensory Marketing is a technique that is applied to reach customers’ senses and influence their behavior based on how your brand and tactics make them feel. Humans’ five senses are sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell. Sensory marketing is simply the process of winning a customer’s trust and attention by appealing to each of these five senses, i.e. smell of a new Macbook, adequate music in a store, etc.  (Source: Thrive).<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>24. PESTEL analysis – What is it and for what can it be used? (Jamila Karner)</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A PESTEL analysis is a framework or tool used by marketers to analyse and monitor the macro-environmental (external marketing environment) factors that have an impact on an organisation. The result of which is used to identify threats and weaknesses which is used in a SWOT Analysis.<br><br></div><div>PESTEL stands for:</div><div><strong>P – Political</strong></div><div><strong>E – Economic</strong></div><div><strong>S – Social</strong></div><div><strong>T – Technological</strong></div><div><strong>E – Environmental</strong></div><div><strong>L – Legal<br></strong><br></div><div><strong>Political Factors</strong></div><div>These are all about how and to what degree a government intervenes in the economy. This can include – government policy, political stability or instability in overseas markets, foreign trade policy, tax policy, labour law, environmental law, trade restrictions and so on.</div><div>It is clear from the list above that political factors often have an impact on organisations and how they do business. Organisations need to be able to respond to the current and anticipated future legislation, and adjust their marketing policy accordingly.</div><div><strong>Economic Factors</strong></div><div>Economic factors have a significant impact on how an organisation does business and also how profitable they are. Factors include – economic growth, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation, disposable income of consumers and businesses and so on.</div><div>These factors can be further broken down into macro-economical and micro-economical factors. </div><div><strong>Social Factors</strong></div><div>Also known as socio-cultural factors, are the areas that involve the shared belief and attitudes of the population. These factors include – population growth, age distribution, health consciousness, career attitudes and so on. These factors are of particular interest as they have a direct effect on how marketers understand customers and what drives them.</div><div><strong>Technological Factors</strong></div><div>We all know how fast the technological landscape changes and how this impacts the way we market our products. Technological factors affect marketing and the management thereof in three distinct ways:</div><div>·         New ways of producing goods and services</div><div>·         New ways of distributing goods and services</div><div>·         New ways of communicating with target markets</div><div><strong>Environmental Factors</strong></div><div>These factors have only really come to the forefront in the last fifteen years or so. They have become important due to the increasing scarcity of raw materials, polution targets, doing business as an ethical and sustainable company, carbon footprint targets set by governments. More and more consumers are demanding that the products they buy are sourced ethically, and if possible from a sustainable source.</div><div><strong>Legal Factors</strong></div><div>Legal factors include - health and safety, equal opportunities, advertising standards, consumer rights and laws, product labelling and product safety. It is clear that companies need to know what is and what is not legal in order to trade successfully. If an organisation trades globally this becomes a very tricky area to get right as each country has its own set of rules and regulations.<br>(Source: Professional Academy)</div><div> <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The hook is defined as an experience designed to connect your user’s problem to your solution with enough frequency to form a habit.<br>  Following are four basic steps of a hook<br> <strong>(1) Trigger</strong><br> New habits need a foundation upon which to build. Triggers provide the basis for sustained behavior change. A trigger is the actuator of behaviour.<br> There are two type of triggers, first is external: Habit-forming technologies start changing behavior by first cueing users with a call-to-action which are  embedded with information, which tells the user what to do next. For example, on website pop ups "buy now"," play this" etc. Second is Internal trigger: When a product becomes tightly coupled with a thought, an emotion or a pre-existing routine, it leverages an internal trigger. It is intangible and manifest automatically in mind. for example, People suffering from loneliness, depression tends to use their smartphone more.<br> <strong>(2) Action<br></strong>The action phase is habit itself and it's defined as simplest behavior done in anticipation of reward. for example, scrolling on Instagram, searching on Google and pushing play button on youtube. These very small discrete simple actions done for an immediate reward.<br> Fogg Behaviour Model -&gt; B = MAT, where B = behaviour, M = motivation, A = ability, T = trigger<br> <strong>(3) Reward<br></strong>In this phase users get what they came for. To keep users engaged, products need to deliver on their promises. reward users by solving a problem, reinforcing their motivation for the action taken in the previous phase. for example, feed mechanism in social media, by scrolling person gets new interesting stuff in term of reward, notification on phone.<br> <strong>(4) Investment<br></strong>In this phase user puts something into the product in anticipation of a future benefits. The more users invest time and effort into a product or service, the more they value it. subscribe netflix free 1-month plan and giving all personal detail like email, bank detail, telephone number etc.<br>(source: </div><h1>Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products by Nir Eyal)</h1>]]></description>

         <title>STP - Market Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning (Bernhard D.)</title>
         <author></author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/alexander_christian_bauer/ewc2yoyag0dd/wish/315169312</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>STP marketing is a three-step approach to building a targeted marketing plan. The "S" stands for segmenting, the "T" for targeting and the "P" for positioning. Going through this process allows a business owner and marketing consultants or employees to formulate a marketing strategy that ties company, brand and product benefits to specific customer market segments.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Segmenting</strong></div><div>The segmenting step is essentially a brainstorming activity. You list out all the potential market segments you could target in a marketing campaign. Niche companies sometimes have only one target market, while other businesses may have five or 10 possible segments, or more. Cell phone providers, for instance, often separate customers by benefits. Some buyers want high-tech gadgetry while others want dependable communication for travel and emergencies.<br><br></div><div><strong>Targeting</strong></div><div>When you have multiple, distinct market segments, you typically need to customize marketing campaigns that appeal to each. As you go through the STP process, you select which segment to target with your upcoming campaign. Using the cell phone example, you might decide to launch a new campaign to promote advanced mobile features, media, apps and texting tools to younger, tech-savvy audiences. For this campaign, you would develop messages and use media tailored to that market.<br><br></div><div><strong>Positioning</strong></div><div>Positioning is how you align your brand or products in the target market. The goal is to offer something that is bigger, better or more valuable than your competitors to a particular market segment. For example, Apple attempts to position itself as an innovative, cutting-edge technology provider to discerning tech buyers who want top-quality solutions. Your positioning serves as your big-picture guide in building your marketing campaign.<br><br></div><div><strong>Implementation</strong></div><div>Once you have strategized using the STP process, the next step is to implement your marketing tasks to achieve intended goals. If you want to increase brand awareness within an emerging market, you would design commercials or ads that introduce your brand and develop an image. You pick media commonly used by that target group. If you are a new outdoor sports gear retailer, for instance, you would create print, radio, TV, magazine, Internet or other ads that promote your quality or value to campers, hunters or outdoor enthusiasts.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classic 4 Ps</div><ul><li><strong>Product</strong> - The Product should fit the task consumers want it for, it should work and it should be what the consumers are expecting to get.</li><li><strong>Place</strong> – The product should be available from where your target consumer finds it easiest to shop. This may be High Street, Mail Order or the more current option via e-commerce or an online shop.</li><li><strong>Price</strong> – The Product should always be seen as representing good value for money. This does not necessarily mean it should be the cheapest available; one of the main tenets of the marketing concept is that customers are usually happy to pay a little more for something that works really well for them.</li><li><strong>Promotion</strong> – Advertising, PR, Sales Promotion, Personal Selling and, in more recent times, Social Media are all key communication tools for an organisation. These tools should be used to put across the organisation’s message to the correct audiences  in the manner they would most like to hear, whether it be informative or appealing to their emotions.</li></ul><div><br></div><div>Additional 3 Ps</div><ul><li><strong>People</strong> – All companies are reliant on the people who run them from front line Sales staff to the Managing Director. Having the right people is essential because they are as much a part of your business offering as the products/services you are offering.</li><li><strong>Processes</strong> –The delivery of your service is usually done with the customer present so how the service is delivered is once again part of what the consumer is paying for.</li><li><strong>Physical Evidence</strong> – Almost all services include some physical elements even if the bulk of what the consumer is paying for is intangible. For example a hair salon would provide their client with a completed hairdo and an insurance company would give their customers some form of printed material. Even if the material is not physically printed (in the case of PDFs) they are still receiving a “physical product” by this definition.</li></ul><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>How can you use Hofstede in Marketing? What are different criteria of Hofstede? (Carmen Groiß)</title>

         <link>https://padlet.com/alexander_christian_bauer/ewc2yoyag0dd/wish/315474155</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div> </div><div>If it comes to global marketing regarding your product you have to develop marketing strategies which fit to the different countries/cultures -&gt; The concept of Hofstede has collected cultural data over a long period and describes six cultural dimensions you can use in order to develop the right marketing strategy </div><div>1)      Power distance: high power distance means strong hierarchy and powerful leaders, marketing has to appeal to the leadership, low power distance means you have to reach a broad range of ordinary people </div><div>2)      Individualism vs. collectivism: countries with high individualism need marketing strategies showing how people can increase their personal freedom (reward themselves, …), whereas collectivism needs emphasis on how the community will benefit from the product </div><div>3)      Masculinity Vs. Femininity: high masculinity means you have to take care to target the correct gender for each product (strongly differentiate between men and women), low masculinity means a neutral marketing approach regarding gender is the right way, markets would react negatively to gender oriented promotion </div><div>4)      Uncertainty avoidance: high uncertainty avoidance level means the market wants product advantages and disadvantages spelled out clearly, whereas low level markets accept lifestyle promotions and generalizations about the product </div><div>5)      Time orientation: long term orientation means the markets focus on traditions and the link to the past (especially eastern countries), short term orientation means you can focus on short term benefits (western countries) </div><div>6)      Indulgence: high indulgence cultures value leisure time, sports and relaxed sexual standards which means a marketing strategy focusing on sex appeal would fit very good, whereas in low indulgence cultures you should promote the social benefit of a product, how it fits to the existing social structure <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>EARNED MEDIA<br>Earned media is an essentially online word of mouth, usually seen in the form of ‘viral’ tendencies, mentions, shares, reposts, reviews, recommendations, or content picked up by 3rd party sites. It's a self-running picture: content is shared and thus, distributed.<br><br>PAID MEDIA<br>Social Media sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn offer advertising that could potentially help boost your content as well as your website. Using retargeting, Pay Per Click, and display ads is an effective and more direct way to drive searchers to your owned media sites like your website, to help increase traffic and/or conversions. (An example is also sponsor content in newspapers)<br><br>OWNED MEDIA<br>Owned media is any web property that you can control and is unique to your brand. One of the most common examples is a website, although blog sites and social media channels are other examples of owned media properties too.</div>]]></description>
