  • The New Rules of Product Marketing Ebook V2
    THE NEW RULES OF PRODUCT MARKETING DAVID KEITH DANIELS The Transformation of Product Marketing from Tactical Sales Support to a Strategic Powerhouse THE NEW RULES OF PRODUCT MARKETING The Transformation of Product Marketing from Tactical Sales Support to a Strategic Powerhouse By David Keith Daniels Copyright © 2018 by BrainKraft LLC All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted in any manner whatsoever without written permission from the publisher, except in the case of brief quotations embodied in critical articles or reviews. THE EVOLUTION OF PRODUCT MARKETING Once upon a time, there were product managers. They spent all their time with the development team building exciting new products to solve market problems. As their products grew, the demands on their time grew as well. But the amount of time they had to address those extra demands were confined to a 24 hour day. They were helping the sales team, they were helping the customer support team, they were helping the marketing communications team. As the company grew the product manager’s ability to be everywhere became impossible. Enter product marketing. Product marketing managers were hired to relieve product managers of the extraneous activities that were keeping them from building more exciting new products. The new product marketing managers did all the things the product managers didn’t have time to do: competitive analysis, sales enablement, writing articles and blog posts, working with the marketing communications team, and be a resource for the sales team to help with sales calls. And this list could change at a moment’s notice.

  • The Emergence of a Mass Market and the Dynamics of Retail Forms in Korea Insoo Baek
    The Emergence of a Mass Market and the Dynamics of Retail Forms in Korea Insoo Baek In this paper, I examine the evolution of major retail forms— supermarkets, department stores, discount stores, and convenience stores—in Korea during three phases from the 1970s to the 1990s. Korea provides a useful comparison to Japan, showing how two nations subject to similar pressures from mass markets have experienced difficult structural and operational changes within retailing. Particular emphasis is given to changing markets and competition among retail forms and the relation of those factors to operating systems. I find that, although the dynamics of retail change in later developed countries create similar innovations in retail forms, plural paths of adaptation occur across national boundaries because of differences in markets, competition, and operating systems. Economic development in Korea radically changed the forms of retailing in the country within a short period. The rapid economic growth not only boosted production but also increased private spending, causing a boom in consumption. Taking advantage of this business opportunity, a modern type of retailing, different from traditional forms, has emerged recently and has itself become a factor in maintaining economic growth. Research focusing on spending patterns and on distribution (a channel that connects spending and production) is necessary to understand the process of Korean economic development. Yet much of the research to date has approached the subject from the production side and has neglected consumption. This could be the result of considering de- mand only in the export market while overlooking demand in the domestic ____________ I wish to thank the commentator and audience members at the “Retailing and Distribution” session of the Business History Conference (June 2003) for their assistance in developing my ideas about this article.

  • Mass Prestige Brands – the End of Traditional Luxury Brand Marketing?
    Ekonomia Międzynarodowa 27 (2019) http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2082-4440.27.03 Mass Prestige brands – the end of traditional luxury brand marketing? Joanna Pietrzak*1 Introduction The luxury goods market has shown significant growth during the last decade and is regarded as one of the most lucrative business areas globally due to its resilience to economic downturns. In 2017, the aggregated sales of the world’s 100 biggest luxury goods companies reached 247 billion USD, showing 10.8 percent annual growth and a composite net profit margin of 9.8 percent (Deloitte 2019). For ma- ny years, the luxury goods industry has maintained its exclusive and elitist image and concentrated solely on a narrow niche of wealthy consumers able to afford highly-priced articles produced in limited numbers. This characteristic feature of the luxury goods market has been undergoing radical change recently, challenged by three major trends, namely: (1) the growing number of wealthy consumers worldwide; (2) the changing demographics of consumer segments with access to luxury goods; (3) the technological revolution and the omnipresent internet as a communications tool and distribution channel. Over the past several years, a substantial increase in individual financial wealth has been taking place globally. The number of wealthy individuals grew noticeably, not only in traditionally prosperous countries like the USA, Japan, or Western European countries but also in emerging ones like China, India, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Brazil, or Poland. According to the Capgemini World Wealth Report (Capgemini 2019), in 2018, there were 18 million people whose liquid financial assets exceeded 1 million USD.
