Over the years, different marketing objectives emerged, but which one should be chosen by each company?
The different interests involved in the organization, the clients and the society, brought 5 basic orientations that directed the marketing objectives of the company.
These are known as marketing management philosophies and are divided into 5 types of orientations:
- to production,
- product orientation,
- to sales,
- marketing orientation,
- And orientation to holistic marketing.
Production Orientation
It is probably one of the oldest concepts.
He maintains that consumers are looking for products that are easy to find and at low costs.
Therefore, entrepreneurs orient their companies in search of high production efficiency, with low costs and mass distribution. It is an idea adopted by technology companies and commodities.
Product orientation
The product orientation supports that consumers give preference to quality products and performance that are superior to the media or that have innovative characteristics.
That is the antithesis of production, here, companies focus on producing quality items and perfecting them over time.
A new product will not necessarily be successful, it needs to be promoted, viewed and distributed properly.
Sales Orientation
Here, companies start from the idea that consumers never buy the organization’s products in sufficient quantity, of their own accord (Hello, consumer!).
Thus, offers and promotions are created for the customer to buy more units, even if there is no need.
The idea that reigns here is from the former VP of Coca-Cola marketing: selling more things, to more people for more money, in order to make a profit.
Marketing orientation
This orientation emerged in the mid-50s. The idea here starts from the “feel-and-respond” philosophy.
It is focused on the customer and seeks to find the right product for the consumer and not vice versa, as is common.
Consumption happens when the company is more effective than the competition in the creation, delivery and communication of products.
Holistic Marketing Orientation
The holistic marketing is almost an evolution of other orientations. He acknowledges that in marketing “everything is important” – from the consumer, to the officials and the competition.
There is an interdependence between marketing and its effects, the actions of one area need to be consistent with the other and create unity.
Holistic marketing seeks to harmonize the complexities of the activity to work with something unique.
