CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL BASIS

 

2.1 Definition of Marketing

 

In the modern world economy, particularly companies that produce goods and services and trading company, the main problem frequently encountered is the attempt to distribute or market their goods and services traded or produced it to a third-party purchaser or consumer need. To be successful distribution or marketing of goods and services required a science or the best way and that’s what we call marketing or marketing.

 

But the marketing term that comes from the market (market), not simple understanding. Marketing not only covers the world market alone but more than that. Marketing discuss any matter that lives within the corporate community. For most marketing covering the market organization in the broadest sense is not only about products goods but also services regarding services products.

 

Here the author provides a definition put forward by marketing experts, meaning that can be given a clear understanding of the meaning of marketing it.

 

Drs. Private Basu D. H. MBA (1992: 72) simply provides the following definition: “Marketing is an activity that drives the flow of goods and services from the producer to the consumer or end-user.

 

“According to William J. Stanton (1994: 34),” Marketing is a whole system of business activities aimed at planning, pricing, promoting and distributing goods and services that satisfy the needs of both the buyers existing and to potential buyers. ”

 

According to Philip Kotler (1996: 98), “Marketing is the analysis, planning, implementation and monitoring of programs intended to hold these exchanges with target markets with a view to achieve organizational goals.”

 

From this definition it can be concluded that Marketing is the attainment of organizational goals and objectives as well as activities related to the process of delivering goods and services from production to the end users (consumers).

 

Thus marketing activities it is produced goods or services that can be distributed to the parties so that the buyer will not happen buildup which means futility of these efforts.

 

The concept in the future, based on the philosophy as follows:

1. Marketing must become a strategic business concept that can provide continuing satisfaction not only on immediate gratification. For that three parties are mutually interested in the company are customers, employees and business owners.
2. Marketing to be a “soul”, not just one member of the body of the company.
3. There are three main values, namely:

– The most important brands of the products are brand because essentially the buyers (consumers) to buy a brand is not a product.

– Owner of the company must be involved in the process of satisfying the customer.

– The relationship between the owner of the company, employees and customers is a chain that can not be severed and there should be reciprocal.

With keutungan enough, should the leadership of the company, at least not give bonuses or incentives to employees to enforce it humanely.

 

 

2.2 Definition of Marketing Mix

 

Or Marketing Mix marketing mix variables are controlled can be used by companies to reach consumers who are the target market.

 

Drs. Private Basu D. H. MBA (1986: 17) in his book Modern Marketing Management states that “The marketing mix is a combination of four variables or activities that constitute the core of the company’s marketing system, namely: product, price structure, promotional activities and distribution systems.

 

Marketing mix is what is at the core of marketing strategy consists of four main components:

1. Product (Product)
2. Price (Price)
3. Place Place)
4. Promotion (Promotion)

 

Fourth aforementioned components can be combined in finding the best formulas to be applied in the company’s marketing strategy.

1. Product (Product)

Product is everything that is offered to the market to get attention, purchase or consumption are consumers, which includes physical objects, services, places, people and organizations.

The most essential thing in marketing is how to meet the needs and desires of consumers to the fullest, how companies can make products with good quality, but with keeping down production costs as much as possible.

Because of these product transformation processes of customer satisfaction can always be in physical form but includes everything that is able to rate the satisfaction of the consumers in the market. But without ignoring the practical values that exist, a product called good if it can satisfy the needs and desires to the fullest.

 

2. Price (Price)

Drs. Private Basu D. H MBA (1986: 147) argues that “price is the amount of money (plus a few items that may be) required to obtain a number of combinations of items and their ministry.”

Interest pricing strategies are:

1. Obtain maximum profit

The price is determined by the seller and the buyer. The greater the purchasing power of consumers, the greater the possibility for the seller to set a higher price level. Thus sellers have hope for maximum benefit to existing conditions.

 

1. To obtain a certain market share

Interest gain market share to achieve the increase in the rate of profit in the future, and if the market will atercapai sensitive (sensitive) to the prices, so lower prices may encourage the rapid growth of the market. This is because the low price will attract buyers.

 

1. Flushed Market (Market Skimming)

Mangambil companies benefit from the availability of buyers pay higher prices from other buyers, because the price offered gives a higher value for them.

 

3. Place (Place)

The so-called distribution channels are institutions that have a distributor or dealer activities of distributing goods or services from producers to consumers. There are several factors to consider in the choice of distribution channels, namely:

1. The type and nature of the product
2. The nature of potential consumers
3. the nature of competition
4. Channel itself

 

All these factors need to be considered in the success of marketing activities, especially in the distribution of products from producers to consumers hand effectively, timely and needed by consumers with good quality. With such a strategy can be expected that the level of sales will increase.

 

4. Promotion (Promotion)

The core of the marketing mix is promotion, because with this promotion will take place communication between producers and consumers in making a purchase.

According to Philip Kotler (1991: 89), “Promotion is an activity undertaken to provide and attract the attention of potential consumers to the product produced by the company, giving rise to the interest to buy. ‘

Promotion is one of the variables of the marketing mix is crucial held companies in marketing their products. A product is very useful but if not known by consumers that will not be known benefits and may be purchased by consumers.

 

2.3 Definition of Marketing Strategy

 

Success or failure of a company is determined by a grand strategy or core strategy. If this core strategy has been wrong or ineffective, then the technical implementation of the most baikpun become useless, said by Alex D. Tryana MBA (1986: 17).

 

Furthermore, it also said, basically a marketing strategy included the strategy of product and market strategies, all of which is an attempt by the company to familiarize themselves regularly and choose what products and their markets will be marketed, based on the consideration of the situation of the environment.

 

Then formulated also about marketing tactics in relation to the marketing strategy in an attempt to market the product. Where mentioned is a business marketing tactics that lead to action and decision-making stages and secluded almost done every day in every part.

 

Drs. Private Basu DH. MBA (1986: 287) argues that the marketing strategy is an important activity in marketing activities that include:

 

1. Research and Market Analysis.

Namely activities to obtain information about the state of the market, both the present situation and the possibilities that will happen in time to come.

 

2. Product Development

Namely activities to develop products to satisfy the customers as well as the possibility of the company to use the capacity of the product completely.

 

3. Determination of Price

Namely the activities set product prices based on costs and market factors such as distribution channels, given the price cuts, price level requested by a competitor, the ability or willingness of customers to pay and so on.

 

4. Promotion

Namely activities to introduce the goods produced and efforts to influence consumers through promotional mix.

 

5. Distribution in Distribution

Ie activities related to the business of delivering goods from producers to consumers. The goal is to keep the goods always be easily purchased by consumers who want to buy them wherever they are.

 

Thus it is clear that marketing is important for the company. For the survival of the company depends on the marketing. However, any activity in marketing can not simply be separated from other activities within the company.

 

Regarding its own marketing strategy, Philip Kotler (1985: 301) says as follows:

“The marketing strategy is a basic approach that will be used by the business unit in achieving the goals that have been set in advance, in it contained basic decisions about the target market, product positioning in the market, marketing mix and marketing costs required level”.

 

In a market that has a level siatuasi keen competition, the implementation of effective marketing strategy is needed. Because in this situation, in fact only those companies that have a marketing strategy that is more than any other company in exploiting market opportunities, which will gain market share is greater than the existing market.

 

2.4 Application of Marketing Strategy

 

Application of marketing strategy should be oriented on three main points, namely:

1. Choose your target consumers.
2. Identifying their wishes.
3. Determine the marketing mix.

 

Implementation of this strategy is the company’s long-term plan that is used as a guide for marketing.

1. Choose your target consumers.

The initial step of a company in running its marketing program is to establish the target consumers. Companies should clearly define who the consumers. Target consumers are individuals who must satisfy their needs.

To set the target consumer will be able to use three different kinds of alternative strategies that can be the company are:

 

1. Undifferentiated Marketing is a company attempting to review the overall market, satisfying the similarities in consumer demand, which is based on the strategy of austerity and appointment aimed at the largest segment in the market.
2. Differentiated Marketing is the company trying to identify groups of certain buyers to divide the market into two or more groups, but the shortcomings of this strategy is the costs include research and development costs to modify the product consists of the production costs, storage costs and promotion costs.
3. Concentrated Marketing is the only company to focus its marketing efforts on one or a few groups only.

From the foregoing, it is generally the company would prefer to enter some segments of the market to avoid the risks that they face.

 

2. Identifying Consumer Interest

Activity identify consumer needs requires the right advice, convening a market research. The activities of this market research to determine consumer after dividing it in certain segments, it takes a special knowledge of the cost is not small. So that later will know the tastes of consumers in determining the type of products they need, shape, price and others.

 

 

 

3. Determine the Marketing Mix

Marketing mix or marketing mix is a combination of important elements in marketing that can be used to develop a marketing strategy as effectively as possible.

According to Drs. Private Basu marketing mix is a combination of four variables or activities that constitute the core of the company’s marketing system, namely product, price structure, promotional activities and distribution systems.

 

1. Product

Description of the product include physical forms of marketing, product branding, packaging, warranty and servicing, as well as sales. To be able to distinguish the sense of these items, it will be the authors describe below.

Consumer goods were divided into three groups:

1. Consumer goods are goods purchased for consumption with the purchase based on consumer buying habits and the consumer is the final consumer.
2. Confinience goods (goods that is easy to use, can be changed anywhere). Example: soap and others.
3. Shopping goods (goods that must be sought first if you want to buy it). Example: textiles, furniture and others.
4. Special items (items that have certain characteristics). Example; antiques, luxury vehicles.

 

2. Industrial goods are goods purchased for reprocessing or in other words are used in industrial activity.

Industrial goods are divided into five categories:

1. Raw materials (a staple to make other goods). Example: cotton, iron.
2. Components of intermediate goods (the goods have entered the production process). Example: yarn to clothe.
3. Item operation equipment (used to help smooth the process of production). Example: wrench tools to form a product.
4. Agencies (main production tool to produce a production). Example: the weaving machine.
5. extra equipment (equipment used to aid agencies). Example: tip goods.

 

1. Price

After the determination of the type of product, the next step is pricing. For more consumer goods demand-oriented, with the assumption that if the price is raised, the demand will be reduced and if the price is lowered, it will increase demand. However, challenges, situations and conditions that affect consumers.

 

1. promotion

Promotion is the flow of information or persuasion in one direction in marketing activities aimed at implementing the consumer. In essence, this activity is divided in the form or variables:

1. Advertising; the form of percentages and non personal promotion of ideas, goods and services are paid for by a particular sponsor.
2. Personal selling; the percentage of the scope in the mail conversation with a prospective buyer who intended to create sales.
3. Publicity; driving demand for non personal goals for a product or service or an idea by using a conventional news in mass media.
4. Promotion of sales; marketing activities other than personal selling, advertising and publicity-publicity drive purchases by consumers and retailers effectiveness.

 

1. Distribution

Distribution channel is something that is traversed by the flow of goods from manufacturer to middleman and finally to the user.

The use of this distribution channel can not be separated from consideration of the type of transport that is effective, also considering the need of insurance risks and the costs required.

 

2.5 Definition of a SWOT Analysis

 

Analysis of the situation is beginning the process of strategy formulation. SWOT is a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the organization, all of which are strategic factors. So says J. David Hunger and Thomas L. Wheelen (193: 1996).

 

So SWOT analysis should define the competence of the rare companies that is a certain expertise and resources that are owned by a company with a superior way they use. Competence rare sometimes considered a set of core capabilities that strategically capacity to create a company to be different.
