MARKETING PITFALLS HOW TO AVOID THEM
• “Good marketing is no accident but a result of careful planning and execution” -Philip Kotler. • Sound marketing strategies and well convinced plans greatly enhance the chances of success. • Half baked plans and hastily laid out tactics undoubtedly spell doom for the organization.
• Marketing plan operates in two levels: 2.Strategic plan: which identifies the target markets and value proposition to be offered. 3. Tactical plan: which focuses on the marketing mix. • A good strategy if not implemented, is a great opportunity lost and set the organization back by a few years.
Market fiascos in recent times • Merits “small ‘n’ flaccid” campaign: • One of the cigarettes brands in U.S launched a $450mn ad campaign with a ambitious objective of reaching the top of $800bn cigarette industry. • Sales fell from 20 million pack to 12 packs per week.
McDonalds giveaways • Auto major general motors and McDonald’s had a unpleasant partnership with disastrous consequences. • August 2006 they came with the sales promotion campaign of giving away 42million toy hummers along with happy meals. • Parents and environmentalists resisted the promotion as they felt it was ethically incorrect.
Reliance Infocom • In July 2003, Reliance launched a monsoon hungama scheme under which postpaid connection and dell phone was sold at a throw away price of Rs.501. • The result, ten days there were1million subscribers. • Led to a loss of 1500 crore.
Global giants and local brands • Coca-cola took over Thums up, which had a imposing share of 60% of Indian cola market in 1993. • The aim was to promote coke with ready to us distribution network. • But the result was Pepsi occupied the top position, sales of Thums up declined by 15% . • But Thums up had its own distinct market.
Cross cultural challenges
• “Nothing sucks like an Electrolux”-ad by Scandinavian durables in American magzine. • “Come alive with the Pepsi generation” became “pepsi will bring your ancestors back from death”. • Chevy nova introduced by GM in Latin America markets, which was not a success for the simple reason that “no-va” means “a thing which does not move” in Spanish, forcing GM to re-launch this MUV as Caribe.
Frame work for avoiding marketing pitfalls. • Resist temptation of listening to your heart: One should not allow ones professional arrogance to dominate the decision making process. • Look at your basics before entering the market or launching a new product.
• Let all the departments work simultaneously on new product launches: • There has to be a perfect coordination between various divisions like manufacturing, Logistics, distribution network, packaging, promotion and pricing right from the time the prototype was developed.
• Do not overlook local factors: • Entering the emerging market thinking that the strategies adopted back home can just be replicated in the new market. • Emerging markets today are what developed markets was 10years back.(McDonalds, Kelloggs) • Nokia and Samsung ‘glocalized’ their business with a blend of local talent and
• Have local consultants assist your communications team: • companies should be extra careful while designing the local content. • Product testing and test marketing, advertisements too can be pre tested before they are rolled out.
• Have intellectual honesty to admit your mistakes: • Admit the mistakes and try to come out of it with quick fix solutions. • Example: McDonald’s case- “looked at through children’s eyes, the miniature hummers are just toys, not vehicle recommendations or a source of consumer messages about natural resource conservation, green house gas emissions, etc”
• Have long term perspective: • If the organization is in a great hurry to milk the market, the chances of failure are much higher. • Understand the local culture, market conditions and consumer preferences and fine-tune ones strategy. • McDonald’s took 5 to 7 years to establish in Indian market.

Other Factors Selling of the products in their own outlets. Strategy to sell with lock-in. Failed to reach the consumer confidence.
Great opportunity for the expansion of its market turned to be failure.
Domino’s Pizza Failed to reach the local market in India. The new products launched failed to make the strong mark in a market.
