  • What is the difference between the "selling concept" and the "marketing concept? The "selling concept" assumes that resisting consumers have to be persuaded by vigorous hard-selling techniques to buy non-essential goods or services. The "marketing-concept", on the contrary, assumes that the producer's task is to find wants and fill them. In other words, you don't sell what you make, you make what will be bought
  • advertising Advertising informs consumers about the existence and benefits of products and services, and attempts to persuade them to buy them.
  • product life cycle The product life cycle is the cycle through which every product goes through from introduction to growth to maturity to eventual decline.  At the introduction stage, sales are low and costs are high, because costumers have to be persuaded to try the product. The Company can choose between high skim prices to recover developing costs, or low penetration pricing to build market share rapidly, if there are already competitors. At the growth stage, public awareness increases and sales volume rises significantly. Costs are reduced due to economies of scale, so profitability increases. The price can remain unchanged because demand is increasing but competitors aren't usually yet well established. Promotion is aimed at a much broader audience. At the maturity stage, sales volume peaks. The product's features may have to be changed, so that it differs from competing brands, which involves new costs. Prices may also have to be reduced because competitors are established in the market, but companies try to defend their market share while also maximizing profit. At the decline stage, sales volume begins to go down. Either costs are too high compared to sales, so the product is discontinued, or the company continues to offer the product to loyal customers, while reducing costs to a minimum. The price is either maintained, or greatly reduced to liquidate stock if the product is discontinued. At this stage there is virtually no promotion.
