Marketing plan for " The Tool " offered by the Internet Tool Company,INC.(ITC)

1) The Market
Over 30 million people are currently using the Internet. Internet users are expected to grow in number by at least 25 percent each year for the next five years. The potential number of consumers for our Internet development tools is at least 20 million now with the potential for 30 million in two or three years. Recent trends indicate that, while Fortune 500 businesses will continue to seek out the Internet, faster growth will be seen in the home and small business market.

2) Market Segmentation
The market is divided into three relatively distinct segments: the corporate/professional segment, the small business segment, and the consumer segment.

3) Corporate/Professional Segment:
This market includes large corporations, institutions, government agencies, and professional developers. Internet development tools aimed at this market are expensive, costing upwards of $500; may take some time to master, even for seasoned technical developers; but provide the maximum number of options and flexibility in site design. Small Business Segment:
Internet development tools aimed at this market are mid-priced, typically costing from $100 to $500. They are designed to be used by people without development experience, although ease of use is a secondary feature to the ability to create the broad range of functionality likely to be required by a small business. Consumer Segment:
This segment is driven by low price (under $100) and ease of use, with breadth of functionality typically being sacrificed.

The consumer segment is the segment that ITC is positioning its product for.

4) Consumer Analysis
The target group of consumers for this product are heavy recreational computer users. They typically have used computers for three or more years. They have already used a commercial on-line service and have used at least several software packages extensively. They also tend to buy new software from time to time, if not regularly.

While the target group is increasingly buying software at retail outlets, many (especially those that tend to use their computers the most) buy their software through mail-order catalogs and quite a few order at least some software directly from the publisher. Even when buying software in retail outlets this group tends less to buy on impulse and are more apt to be looking for a specific item on which they are pre-sold. This group is most likely to be pre-sold by editorial coverage in computer publications such as reviews and product announcements and by word of mouth. Because this audience is exposed to so much information about so many competing products, it is most likely to decide on a particular item as a result of multiple exposure to information about a product—often from different types of sources.

Members of the target group tend to live in suburban or urban areas. They are typically male; aged thirty to forty-five; college educated; have a household income range between $40,000–$100,000; are homeowners; and hold professional jobs. Many belong to computer clubs.

They read two or more computer publications, a major metro newspaper, and one or more consumer magazines. While they watch television several hours per week their viewing tends to be less than average. They tend to listen to radio stations while they commute in their cars—tuning into a broad variety of formats.

5) Product Features and Benefits
Several products are already in the marketplace in the under $100 price range that offer similar functionality. These products offer powerful editing capability for text-only documents as well as for graphics. They give users the capability of moving large amounts of text or graphics into a form translatable into a language understood by the Internet.

ITC’s main distinctive feature is its intelligent agent. The benefit to consumers is that the product is easier to use and more flexible than competing products. The intelligent agent “walks” users step by step through the process of creating a document. The most similar competing product offers more passive help by using “placeholders” where the user places objects on a layout page. While the placeholder approach also gives users the ability to quickly assemble creative material, it does not give the user the flexibility of moving objects about.

StrengthsEngineering: As shown by the features of its first product, ITC has a strong competitive edge in its engineering capabilities. The intelligent agent is a leap ahead of its competitors. This strength should help ITC keep ahead of its competition in the future as well.

Fast Development Cycle: Even with a product offering superior capabilities, ITC was able to create its first product from scratch in a very short period of time. This ability coupled with superior engineering skills, should give ITC the ability to stay on the leading edge of product design over a sustained period of time.

Closeness to Market: Almost all key employees have a long experience of personal Internet use and keep in close touch with many in the industry and at different computer clubs who are also heavy Internet users. This gives ITC the ability to keep abreast of the marketplace and strong insight into the changing demands of its core customers.

WeaknessesFinancial: Even after raising the additional planned funding, the company will be substantially less well capitalized than some of its competitors. This would make it particularly difficult to finance the national advertising and promotion campaign that would be important if the company were to try to obtain shelf space at computer retailers nationwide.

No Market Presence: The company currently has no other products in the market or coming to the market soon. It has no relationship with any resellers. This contrasts with several competitors, who are already selling product through many outlets, including retailers, and competitors who have other offerings in their product line.

Weak Marketing and Sales Staff: The company has one marketing manager and no sales staff. The marketing manager has several years of experience in selling hardware add-ons direct to major corporate customers but no experience selling software or selling products to consumers.

5) Sales
ITC will sell the product via established direct-mail catalogs and through promotional efforts with computer clubs.

Direct-mail catalogs will be chosen on the basis of how closely the demographics of the catalogs match the demographics of ITC’s target market.

To prompt consumers to order direct, ITC will accept orders on the Internet and via a toll-free 800 line.

6) Advertising and Promotions
Because ITC’s budget is very limited, it will keep its message simple, emphasizing its product’s flexibility and ease of use.

With the company’s very limited budget, initial ads in direct mail catalogs will be small—typically no larger than 1/8 page. Ad copy will contrast with competitive products that are shrink-wrapped and sold at lower prices to less experienced computer users.

Press releases will first emphasize the company’s two key benefits. But they will also offer a lot of technical detail that will appeal to the editors and publications most important to effectively reaching the core target market.

The company’s top technical people will give talks at computer clubs, again to help position ITC on the leading edge.

Packaging will be subdued and professional-looking to further contrast ITC’s product with the competitor’s offerings.

7) Competitive Reaction
By positioning ITC’s product as the premier product at the top end of the price range, any price cutting by competitors will only help reinforce ITC’s premium positioning. While deep pocketed competitors may trumpet their products with expensive, colorful magazine ads, these ads will be unlikely to have much impact on ITC’s core audience of highly experienced computer users.

8) The Future
Because ITC has relatively weak marketing and financial strengths, it must rely upon continued product innovation to remain viable. Sooner or later competitors will mimic ITC’s features. However, ITC’s engineering and fast- to-market capabilities should allow it to stay one step ahead of competitors. And each new product feature will help ITC gain more publicity for its product.

 

SummaryInternet Tool Company, Inc. (ITC) has been formed to create Internet development tools. The market for Internet tools is growing very rapidly. ITC’s first development tool, “The Tool,” provides a major technical breakthrough by virtue of its “intelligent agent” feature. The intelligent agent makes it very easy to create documents and at the same time offers great flexibility in changing documents and other graphic material.

“The Tool” will be positioned as the premier Internet development tool for heavy computer users. ITC will target its marketing efforts narrowly at the core heavy user market. Because the product’s ease of use is of less importance to highly experienced computer users, ITC will give more marketing emphasis to the product’s other key benefit: flexibility.

ITC will completely avoid the retail store marketplace, where its lack of ability to fund expensive national and co-op advertising campaigns and its lack of presence in this marketplace would make it very difficult to compete or even gain entrance. Wholesalers and retailers are often more interested in the marketing support and name recognition that products enjoy than the product’s functionality and features. Instead, the product will be sold direct and via catalogs in a carefully targeted marketing campaign.

“The Tool” will be placed at the very high end of the consumer segment at $100 to further emphasize the product’s superiority and take advantage of the fact that consumers buying direct are less price sensitive than retail buyers.

Personal response :  In my  opinion. I think the marketing plan is important and essential for business. If that is a good marketing plan will help businesses succeed by targeting  same the ITC is planning to market and has developed a tool for effective and different from competitors. I agree with the ITC limited budget to advertise and promote products. I think it can reduce costs.

In my opinion I think is a good project because in the macro perspective, we can see that the demand has declined due to the effect of the economic downturns.  Consumers either move downward to buy house brand product to safe cost. House brand product is the quality goods but low cost.  This poses an opportunity to house brand product from 108 shop at the same time.  And free-of-charge utility bill payments it a good idea because sometime when the customer have service and shopping goods.

Personal Response:

In my viewpoint, I think this marketing plan is a very smart one as well as creative idea because recently the popularity of iPhone has been increasing greatly or popular. Being the first to officially provide the iPhone could make a large sum of benefit for the company since there’s no other market share. The fact that TrueMove is the only company providing this without any rival means the company will be the only one people will buy reliable iPhone from. Moreover, the privileges and the promotion came with the purchase can also arouse the sale of the company and gain even more benefit. However, the price of the product might be a little too high for the middle to lower class target, and the sale might not be as high as it should. Cutting the price as the sale promotion might help solve this problem.

Summary
The website http://NoRejectionRiches.ca provides a sample internet marketing plan; to help other build their own budget home based business. It works without time consuming creation of a product or service based on the infinity 80 system. It helps to develop income in a short time. The entrepreneur who is short of idea to launch their own internet marketing plan could build a list of qualified prospects for the customers. As the list is built, product could be added so to supplement the core infinity 800 system. The education offered is another aspect that gives the plan startup an advantage. Minimal “recruiting” makes it a unique part. The “get 2 to get2” approach makes this possible. Normal MLM programs train to sell and recruit via direct face to face approach but for infinity 800 systems do not require that, it make the plan straight forward to start and uses specific traffic generation techniques that drive and process leads. The courses include marketing business kid information and all the stags required and also ways to generate a list of customers. Another core part is the automatic reenrollment in a new cycle. The “follow me” mechanism provides freedom for owner so they are not being chained to typical jobs where they can’t get ahead. New leads who convert into customer simply follow and continue to build upon itself. This mechanism could prove vital in determining failure and success
Response
For my opinion, this website does really help the home based business owner a lot. The steps are rather easy and convenient for both owner and customers. This would help generate income without too much complication. The customer would also able to have their business as well. This would further lengthen the chain for their business, meaning as there are more customer, the list would continued so this would generate more income and with the increasing income, customer would able to turn into corner. This would help widen the market and make this business bigger.

Indy unveils new marketing plan

Summary

The Indianapolis Convention and Visitors Bureau (ICVA) is working hard to bring conventions and visitors to the city. The new conventions would open in 2011, making Indianapolis the 15th largest convention in the nation as an effort to step up the market. It uses a tag line “Raising the Game” as it unveiled it new slogan designed to brand the city to potential customers. President of ICVA stated that Hoosiers were never satisfied with status quo so they had to raise the bar and this slogan was adequate at capturing it. TCVA hope to shed the vanilla image is bringing Indianapolis into a new light. There were also trying to attract more people like Brian Lichty, a fireman, to the city. Ten new 15-secound advertisements would begin airing on May 4 in surroundings states such as Chicago and Louisville. This campaign would not matter if it does not help solving the $ 40 million plus problem. They need to get past CIB. It is so important that members of ICVA are presenting new campaign to city council as the convention association won’t have anything to sell as the money has already been used in their budget for the “Raising the Game”.

Response
I think the ICVA would bring success to the city. With the “Raising Game” strategy, more visitors would come to the city thus generating more income. In addition of the television ads, it would enhance the chance of success. Visitors would now able to enjoy new city and at the same time the ICVA would able to solve the problem so it’s a win-win situation.

Marketing Plan-BMW 1-series in Germany

Summary
This marketing plan for the BMW 1-series aims to outline and analyse the market environment in Germany. Also, an evaluation of the strategic and operational orientation as well as the strength and weaknesses of the product should be given. Based on this, recommendations for the future direction and implementation of the marketing-mix will be given. Executive Summary In the competitive compact segment (short: C-segment) with increasingly demanding customers, BMW with its newly launched product clearly builds on its premium image as a sports car manufacturer. Although this is generally a good strategy, certain parts of the marketing mix need to be adjusted. Especially the high price of the product in comparison with its competitors is a potential problem. The following suggestions can be given to successfully built up a sustainable leading position in this segment, which is very important in terms of Customer-Lifetime-Value (CLV): - Reduction of quality problems - New technology development through increased R&D measures - Increased promotional measures focused on the target group - Strengthening of the dealer relationship - Development of new distribution channels.
Response
In my opinion,BMW is car in dream of anybody.Car is modren,luxury and durable but car's Europe slow devolop more than car's Japan as saving oil,saving energy etc.The target of BMW is people have good status but high price than worth the expense to price.So marketing plan of BMW,we have strenght to the product for customer see diffence between car's europe and car's japan and have distriction point when thinking car's europe the What are you think?.Create brand image for company and satify of custumer in long-term.

Middle America boosts sales at Wal-Mart


summary

The text is about Wal-Mart is seizing business from the rest of retail America where is sell a product. last month had fallen 13 per dent, also addmitted that is sales were down by the same amount last month. However, the strategy employed by Wal-Mart two years ago, anticipating the US recession, is paying off. Back then, Wal-Mart sought to introduce new product ranges that would attract Middle America.

personal response

In my opinion I think that it is bad news and now the economy is low. Two or Three later I think the economy is very bad. You can see from the resource in the earth that decrease from the primary. If we keep the resource, in the future we will have a resource to use. And I think every country have a problem from economy such as in the middle USA , the company have a problem from marketing that it from the price of product. Then they must discount a salary from employee and the employee have been out of work.

They don’t really have problem about microeconomic because Sony is a market leader. PS2 have a weakness point which is more expansive than some competitors but they still are the leader because Sony has a great brand image.


Personal Response

After I finish reading, I think that Sony have many ways to increase the sale of PS2; price sensitivity, new distribution channels etc. They are intensive in every analysis. In Thailand, PS2 is very popular in youth because there are many types of game such as winning eleven, harvest moon, resident evil etc. I believe PS2 is more growing because CD game of PS2 is continued selling and the maker will develop CD game for increasing the sales.
