WELCOME FROM THE AUTHORS!

Is technology an integral part of yo ur life? Are you innovative and entr

epreneurial? Do you consider

purpose-driven work important? Ha ve you ever thought you could cha

nge the world? If the answer

to any of these questions is yes, yo ur decision to study marketing is a

perfect match! In addition, if

you are curious about robots in the marketplace, virtual reality and aug

mented reality in advertising,

wearable technology, YouTube cha nnel brand advocates, shopping on

Pinterest, or the gamification

of almost everything, you will be exc ited by the insights you will learn du

ring your studies. And we are

excited to have the opportunity to h elp you along the way with our text

book about this exciting field!

We know from our experiences in the classroom that students choo

se to study marketing for

many reasons. For marketing majo rs this course is the first of many o

n the way to a marketing de-

gree. For students from other busi ness majors this may be a required

course in a business “core.”

For many other students, marketin g is an elective chosen because

of a personal interest in the

marketplace. Regardless of your r easons for taking this course, it is

our pleasure to help you ex-

plore the many new trends, conc epts, practices, challenges, and o

pportunities that are part of

marketing today. We encourage yo u to use your own past experience

s and future interests to cre-

ate a personalized journey of expl oration and study.

The dynamic nature of the marke ting discipline necessitates equa

lly dynamic learning re-

sources. As a result, we have focus ed our time and energy on ensurin

g that our textbook provides

the most current, insightful, and co mprehensive coverage of the mar

ketplace today. The dramatic

changes in student learning styles —from traditional observational sty

les to contemporary collab-

orative styles—are also reflected in our efforts as we have included m

any features to match these

interests. Our approach to present ing the complexities of marketing a

nd facilitating the changes in

learning is based on three importa nt dimensions:

• Engagement. As professors we have benefited from interactions

with many exceptional stu-

dents, managers, and instructors. T heir insights have contributed to o

ur approach to teaching

and, subsequently, to our efforts as textbook authors. One of the esse

ntial elements of our ap-

proach is a commitment to active l earning through engaging, integra

ted, and timely materials.

In-class activities, an interactive bl og, marketing plan exercises, and

in-text links to online ads

and web pages are just a few exam ples of the components of our eng

agement model.

• Leadership. Our approach is als o based on a commitment to takin

g a leadership role in the

development and presentation of new ideas, principles, theories, an

d practices in marketing.

This is more important now than e ver before, as the pace of change

in our discipline acceler-

ates and influences almost every a spect of traditional marketing. We a

re certain that exposure

to leading-edge material related to topics such as social media, data

analytics, and marketing

metrics can help students become leaders in their jobs and careers.

• Innovation. New educational tec hnologies and innovative teaching

tools have magnified the

engagement and leadership aspe cts of our approach. Connect, Lea

rnSmart, and SmartBook,

for example, provide a digital and interactive platform that embrace

s the “anytime and any-

where” style of today’s students. In addition, we have provided new v

ideos and increased the

visual impact of the text and Pow erPoint materials to facilitate mul

timedia approaches to

learning.

Through the previous 7 U.S. editio ns—and 19 international editions in

11 languages—we have

been gratified by the enthusiastic feedback we have received from

students and instructors. We

are very excited to have this oppo rtunity to share our passion for thi

s exciting discipline with you

today. Welcome to the 8th edition of Marketing: The Core! Roger A. Kerin

Marketing: The Core utilizes a unique, innovative, and effective pedagogical approach developed by the authors through the integration of their combined classroom, college, and university experiences. The elements of this approach have been the foundation for each edition of Marketing: The Core and serve as the core of the text and its supplements as they evolve and adapt to changes in student learning styles, the growth of the marketing discipline, and the development of new instructional technologies. The distinctive features of the approach are illustrated below:

The goal of the 8th edition of Marketing: The Core is to create an exceptional experience for today’s students and instructors of marketing. The development of Marketing: The Core was based on a rigorous process of assessment, and the outcome of the process is a text and package of learning tools that are based on engagement, leadership, and innovation in marketing education.

The members of this author team have benefited from extraordinary experiences as instructors, researchers, and consultants, as well as the feedback of users of previous editions of Marketing: The Core—now more than one million students! The authors believe that success in marketing education in the future will require the highest levels of engagement. They ensure engagement by facilitating interaction between students and four learning partners—the instructor, other students, busi- nesses, and the publisher. Some examples of the high-engagement elements of Marketing: The Core include:

In-Class Activities and Digital In-Class Activities. The in-class activities, located in the Instructor’s Manual, are designed to engage students in discussions with the instructor and among themselves. They involve surveys, online resources, out-of-class assignments, and personal observations. Each activity illustrates a con- cept from the textbook and can be done individually or as a team. Examples include: Designing a Candy Bar, Marketing Yourself, Pepsi vs. Coke Taste Test, and What Makes a Memorable TV Commercial? In addition, digital in-class activities have been added to selected chapters. These activities, located in the Instructor Resources, focus on the use of web resources and the marketing data they can provide students.

Interactive Web Page and Blog (www.kerinmarketing.com). Students can access recent articles about marketing and post comments for other students. The site also provides access to a Marketing: The Core Twitter feed!

Building Your Marketing Plan. The Building Your Marketing Plan guides at the end of each chapter are based on the format of the Marketing Plan presented in Appendix A. On the basis of self-study or as part of a course assignment, students can use the activities to organize interactions with businesses to build a marketing plan. Students and employers often suggest that a well-written plan in a student’s portfolio is an asset in today’s competitive job market.

ENGAGEMENT

vi

The popularity of Marketing: The Core in the United States and around the globe is the result, in part, of the leadership role of the authors in developing and presenting new marketing content and pedagogies. For example, Marketing: The Core was the first text to integrate ethics, technology, and interactive marketing. It was also the first text to develop custom-made videos to help illustrate marketing principles and practices and bring them to life for students as they read the text. The authors have also been leaders in developing new learning tools, such as a three-step learning process that includes learning objectives, learning reviews, and learning objectives reviews and new testing materials that are based on Bloom’s learning taxonomy. Other elements that show how Marketing: The Core is a leader in the discipline include:

Chapter 17: Using Social Media and Mobile Marketing to Connect with Consumers. Marketing: The Core features a dedicated chapter for social media and mobile marketing. This new environment is rapidly changing and constantly growing. The authors cover the building blocks of social media and mobile market- ing and provide thorough, relevant content and examples. The authors discuss major social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. They explain how managers and companies can use those outlets for marketing purposes. Chapter 17 also includes a section titled Social Media Marketing Programs and Customer Engagement that addresses criteria for selecting social media, how social media can produce sales, and methods of measuring a company’s suc- cess with social media and mobile marketing. This chapter is one of many ways Marketing: The Core is on the cutting edge of the field.

Applying Marketing Metrics. The Applying Marketing Metrics feature in the text delivers two of the newest elements of the business and marketing environment today—performance metrics and dashboards to visualize them. Some of the met- rics included in the text are: category development index (CDI), brand development index (BDI), load factor (a capacity management metric), price premium, sales per square foot, same-store sales growth, promotion-to-sales ratio, and cost per thou- sand (CPM) impressions. The feature is designed to allow readers to learn, practice, and apply marketing metrics.

Color-Coded Graphs and Tables. The use of color in the graphs and tables enhances their readability and adds a visual level of learning to the textbook for readers. In addition, these color highlights increase student comprehension by link- ing the text discussion to colored elements in the graphs and tables.

New Video Cases. Each chapter ends with a case that is supported by a video to illustrate the issues in the chapter. New cases such as IBM, Toyota, Justin’s, and Body Glove, and recent cases such as GoPro and Coppertone provide current and relevant examples that are familiar to students.

LEADERSHIP

vii

In today’s fast-paced and demanding educational environment, innovation is es- sential to effective learning. To maintain Marketing: The Core’s leadership position in the marketplace, the author team consistently creates innovative pedagogical tools that match contemporary students’ learning styles and interests. The authors keep their fingers on the pulse of technology to bring real innovation to their text and package. Innovations such as in-text links, a Twitter feed, hyperlinked Power- Point slides, and an online blog augment the McGraw-Hill Education online innova- tions such as Connect, LearnSmart, and SmartBook.

In-Text Links. You can see Internet links in magazine ads; on television program- ming; as part of catalogs, in-store displays, and product packaging; and throughout Marketing: The Core! These links bring the text to life with ads and videos about products and companies that are discussed in the text. These videos also keep the text even more current. While each link in the text has a caption, the links are up- dated to reflect new campaigns and market changes. In addition, the links allow readers to stream the video cases at the end of each chapter. You can simply click on the links in the digital book or use your smartphone or computer to follow the links.

Twitter Feed and Online Blog. Visit www.kerinmarketing.com to participate in Marketing: The Core’s online blog discussion and to see Twitter feed updates. You can also subscribe to the Twitter feed to receive the Marketing Question of the Day and respond with the #QotD hashtag.

Connect, LearnSmart, and SmartBook Integration. These McGraw-Hill Educa- tion products provide a comprehensive package of online resources to enable stu- dents to learn faster, study more efficiently, and increase knowledge retention. The products represent the gold standard in online, interactive, and adaptive learning tools and have received accolades from industry experts for their Library and Study Center elements, filtering and reporting functions, and immediate student feedback capabilities. In addition, the authors have developed book-specific interactive assignments, including (a) auto-graded applications based on the marketing plan exercises, and (b) activities based on the Applying Marketing Metrics boxes and marketing metrics presented in the text.

Innovative Test Bank. Containing more than 5,000 multiple-choice and essay questions, the Marketing: The Core Test Bank reflects more than two decades of innovations. The Test Bank also includes “visual test questions” in each chapter to reward students who made an effort to understand key graphs, tables, and images in the chapter.

Thanks are due to many people, including current and past students, marketing educa- tors around the globe, university staff, business journal and periodical authors, company representatives, and marketing professionals of every kind. Their assistance has been essential in our efforts to continue to provide the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and integrated teaching and learning package available. We have been fortunate to have so many people be part of our team! In particular, however, we continue to benefit from the insights and guidance of our long-time friend, colleague, and coauthor, William Rudelius. His contributions to the textbook are truly timeless.

Nancy Harrower of Concordia University, St. Paul, led our efforts on the Instructor’s Man- ual, the PowerPoint slides, the In-Class Activities, and the new Digital In-Class Activities. In addition, she provides the content for our blog (kerinmarketing.com). Tia Quinlan- Wilder of the University of Denver was responsible for the Test Bank and Quizzes and the LearnSmart component of our interactive learning package. Erin Steffes of Towson University was responsible for the Connect application exercises and the new Marketing Analytics exercises. All of these professors are exceptional educators and we are very fortunate that they are part of our team.

Many businesspeople also provided substantial assistance by making available informa- tion that appears in the text, videos, and supplements—much of it for the first time in col- lege materials. Thanks are due to Ann Rubin, Teresa Yoo, and Kathleen Cremmins of IBM; Jana Hartline, Rommel Momen, Joanie Swearingen, and Amy Ulloa of Toyota; Justin Gold and Mike Guanella of Justin’s; Lisa Selk of CytoSport; Jeff Ettinger of Hormel; Russ Lesser, Billy Meistrell, Nick Meistrell, and Jenna Meistrell of Body Glove; Peter Maule of Marquee Brands; Daniel Jasper, Jill Renslow, and Sarah Schmidt of Mall of America; Mike Pohl of ACES Flight Simulation; Chris Klein, Jaime Cardenas, Casey Leppanen, Heather Peace, and Lori Nevares of LA Galaxy; Ian Wolfman and Jana Boone of meplusyou; David Ford and Don Rylander of Ford Consulting Group; Mark Rehborg of Tony’s Pizza; Vivian Callaway, Sandy Proctor, and Anna Stoesz of General Mills; David Windorski, Tom Barnidge, and Erica Schiebel of 3M; Nicholas Skally, Jeremy Stonier, and Joe Olivas of Prince Sports; Brian Niccol of Pizza Hut; Tom Cassady of JCPenney, Inc.; Charles Besio of the Sewell Automotive Group, Inc.; Lindsey Smith of GE Healthcare; Beverly Roberts of the U.S. Census Bureau; Sheryl Adkins-Green of Mary Kay, Inc.; Mattison Crowe of Seven Cycles, Inc.; Alisa Allen, Kirk Hodgdon, Patrick Hodgdon, and Nick Naumann of Altus Marketing and Business Development; and Nelson Ng from Dundas Data Visualization, Inc.

We also want to thank the following people who generously provided assistance with our Marketing: The Core, 8th edition In-Class Activities (ICAs) and associated PowerPoint presentations: Mitch Forster and Carla Silveira of Ghirardelli Chocolate Company; Karolyn Warfel and Betsy Boyer of Woodstream Corp.

Staff support from the Southern Methodist University and the University of Denver was essential. We gratefully acknowledge the help of Jeanne Milazzo and Gabriela Barcenas for their many contributions.

Checking countless details related to layout, graphics, and photos, and managing last- minute text changes is essential for a sound and accurate textbook. This also involves coordinating activities of authors, designers, editors, compositors, and production spe- cialists. Christine Vaughan, our lead content project manager, of McGraw-Hill Education’s production staff provided the necessary oversight and attention to detail while retaining an extraordinary level of professionalism, often under tight deadlines. We are very fortu- nate that Christine was part of our team. Thank you again!

Finally, we acknowledge the professional efforts of the McGraw-Hill Education staff. Com- pletion of our book and its many supplements required the attention and commitment of many editorial, production, marketing, and research personnel. Our McGraw-Hill team included Susan Gouijnstook, Meredith Fossel, Nicole Young, Kelly Pekelder, Danielle Clement, Susan Culbertson, Matt Diamond, Carrie Burger, and many others. In addition, we relied on David Tietz for constant attention regarding the photo elements of the text, and Claire Hunter for management of the details of the online authoring system. Handling the countless details of our text, supplement, and support technologies has become an incredibly complex challenge. We thank all these people for their efforts!

Creating Customer Value: The Chobani Way! Are you a health-conscious consumer? Are you determined to find food products that are a good value for you? Then you may have noticed Chobani yogurt while you were shopping!

If you purchased Chobani and enjoyed the product, it was the result of an ex- traordinary marketing success story. Just a few years ago the U.S. yogurt market was dominated by Dannon and Yoplait. Then Hamdi Ulukaya created Chobani with less sugar and more protein to better match the changing tastes of American consumers. Today Chobani has more than $1.5 billion in annual sales and was recently recognized as one of the most innovative companies in the world “for stirring it up in the grocery store.”1

What is the secret to Chobani’s success? Read on to hear the rest of the story!

Creating an Exceptional Product The Chobani website proclaims that its guiding mission is “better food for more people.” The process starts with milk from local sources and then uses a strain- ing procedure that makes the yogurt extra thick and gives it twice as much protein. Finally, only real fruit and natural sweeteners are added. The recipe is the result of a commitment to a high-quality product. “I was very picky. It took us 18 months to get the recipe right. I knew I had only one shot, and it had to be perfect,” says Ulukaya. To produce the yogurt, Ulukaya purchased a closed dairy in a small town in New York using a Small Business Administration loan. He remodeled the facility using sustainability as a theme to reflect a focus on envi- ronment and community.2

Connecting with Customers Chobani had little money for traditional advertising, so it relied on positive word of mouth, with one happy customer telling another about the new style of yogurt. In addition, Chobani used social media such as Twitter and Facebook to connect with consumers and a mobile yogurt food truck

Creating Customer Relationships and Value through Marketing

called the CHOmobile to hand out free samples to encourage consumers to try Chobani’s Greek Yogurt for the first time. One of Chobani’s biggest breakthroughs in gaining public awareness was its sponsorship of the U.S. Olympic and Paralym- pic Teams.

Chobani also pushed for distribution in major grocery chains, rather than smaller niche stores, and encouraged placement of the product in the main dairy cases of the stores, not the specialty or health food sections. Ulukaya was convinced that Americans would really like Greek yogurt if they tried it and that they would try it if they heard about it and could find it easily in their grocery store.3

Chobani Today Chobani continues to monitor changing consumer tastes and offers new products to accommodate them. For example, the company recently introduced a yogurt drink called Drink Chobani, a package with a second compartment of crunchy toppings to add to the yogurt called Chobani Flip, a less tart product called Smooth Yogurt, and a squeezable package called Chobani Savor. The products are designed for new and existing consumers and for new eating occasions.

One way Chobani stays in touch with consumer interests is through its yogurt cafés in New York’s SoHo and Tribeca neigh- borhoods. New ideas are continually tested on the menu and the feedback has been so useful that Chobani plans to open similar outlets in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and other U.S. cities. Chobani also recently announced a plan to open the Chobani Food Incubator, which is designed to invest in and culti- vate ideas from emerging food entrepreneurs.

Today, Chobani boasts a 40 percent market share of the Greek yogurt segment, which makes up almost half of the $8 billion yogurt market. Chobani advertising, such as the “Believe in Food,” “No Bad Stuff,” and “Love This Life” campaigns, are featured on the Chobani YouTube channel. The

company’s success has even led to a Super Bowl ad featuring a 1,400-pound bear in search of a healthy snack!4

Chobani, Marketing, and You Will Hamdi Ulukaya and his Chobani Greek Yogurt continue this fantastic success story— especially with the recent appearance of competing Greek yogurts from Yoplait, Dannon, Annie’s, Noosa, and Fage? For Ulukaya, one key factor will be how well Chobani under- stands and uses marketing—the subject of this book.

WHAT IS MARKETING?

The good news is that you are already a marketing expert! You perform many market- ing activities and make marketing-related decisions every day. For example, would you sell more LG Signature 77-inch 4K OLED TVs at $24,999 or $7,999? You an- swered $7,999, right? So your experience in shopping gives you some expertise in marketing. As a consumer, you’ve been involved in thousands of marketing decisions, mostly on the buying and not the selling side.

The bad news is that good marketing isn’t always easy. That’s why every year thousands of new products fail in the marketplace and then quietly slide into oblivion.

Marketing and Your Career Marketing affects all individuals, all organizations, all industries, and all countries. This book seeks to teach you marketing concepts, often by having you actually “do marketing”—by putting you in the shoes of a marketing manager facing actual marketing decisions. The book also shows marketing’s many applications and how it affects our lives. This knowledge should make you a better consumer and enable you to be a more informed citizen, and it may even help you in your career planning.

Perhaps your future will involve doing sales and marketing for a large organization. Working for a well-known company—Apple, Ford, Facebook, or General Mills—can be personally satisfying and financially rewarding, and you may gain special respect from your friends.

Start-ups and small businesses also offer marketing careers. Small businesses are the source of the majority of new U.S. jobs. So you might become your own boss by being an entrepreneur and starting your own business.

Shortly after leaving Stanford, Elon Musk, for example, started and sold a web software company called Zip2. With the proceeds from that business he started another business which merged with another and became PayPal. When PayPal was purchased by eBay, Musk founded another venture called SpaceX, which develops and manufactures space launch vehicles and currently launches satellites and delivers cargo to the International Space Station. Since those initial business start-ups, Musk has also started the electric car company Tesla and a solar power company called SolarCity. In addi- tion, he has started a design competition for a high-speed transportation system called Hyperloop, a not-for-profit arti- ficial intelligence company called OpenAI, and a neurotech- nology company called Neuralink. Perhaps your interest in marketing will lead to new business successes like Musk’s!5

Marketing: Delivering Value to Customers The American Marketing Association represents individuals and organizations in- volved in the development and practice of marketing worldwide. It defines marketing as the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, deliver- ing, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and so- ciety at large.6 This definition shows that marketing is far more than simply advertising or personal selling. It stresses the need to deliver genuine value in the offerings of goods, services, and ideas marketed to customers. Also, notice that an organization’s marketing activities should also create value for its partners and for society.

To serve both buyers and sellers, marketing seeks (1) to discover the needs and wants of prospective customers and (2) to satisfy them. These prospective customers include both individuals, buying for themselves and their households, and organiza- tions, buying for their own use (such as manufacturers) or for resale (such as wholesal- ers and retailers). The key to achieving these two objectives is the idea of exchange, which is the trade of things of value between a buyer and a seller so that each is better off after the trade.7

The Diverse Elements Influencing Marketing Actions Although an organization’s marketing activity focuses on assessing and satisfying con- sumer needs, countless other people, groups, and forces interact to shape the nature of its actions (see Figure 1–1). Foremost is the organization itself, whose mission and objectives determine what business it is in and what goals it seeks. Within the organi- zation, management is responsible for establishing these goals. The marketing depart- ment works closely with a network of other departments and employees to help provide the customer-satisfying products required for the organization to survive and prosper.

Figure 1–1 also shows the key people, groups, and forces outside the organization that influence its marketing activities. The marketing department is responsible for facilitating relationships, partnerships, and alliances with the organization’s custom- ers, its shareholders (or often representatives of nonprofit organizations), its suppliers, and other organizations. Environmental forces involving social, economic, technologi- cal, competitive, and regulatory considerations also shape an organization’s marketing actions. Finally, an organization’s marketing decisions are affected by and, in turn, often have an important impact on society as a whole.

The organization must strike a balance among the sometimes differing interests of these groups. For example, it is not possible to simultaneously provide the lowest- priced and highest-quality products to customers and pay the highest prices to suppli- ers, the highest wages to employees, and the maximum dividends to shareholders.

What Is Needed for Marketing to Occur For marketing to occur, at least four factors are required: (1) two or more parties (indi- viduals or organizations) with unsatisfied needs, (2) a desire and ability on their part to have their needs satisfied, (3) a way for the parties to communicate, and (4) something to exchange.

Two or More Parties with Unsatisfied Needs Suppose you’ve developed an unmet need—a desire for a late-night meal after studying for an exam—but you don’t yet

know that Domino’s has a location in your area. Also unknown to you is that Domino’s has a special “mix & match” offer for any two or more of its menu items, just waiting to be ordered and picked up or delivered. This is an example of two parties with unmet needs: you, desiring a meal, and your local Domino’s owner, needing someone to place an order.

Desire and Ability to Satisfy These Needs Both you and the Domino’s owner want to satisfy these unmet needs. Further- more, you have the money to pay for a pur- chase and the time to place an order online, over the telephone, or at a Domino’s loca- tion. The Domino’s owner has the desire to sell its products but also the ability to do so since the items are easily made and delivered to (or picked up by) you.

A Way for the Parties to Communicate The marketing transaction of purchasing a

FIGURE 1–1 A marketing department relates to many people, organizations, and forces. Note that the marketing department both shapes and is shaped by its relation ship with these internal and external groups.

Domino’s pizza or one of its other products will never occur unless you are aware the prod- uct exists and you know how to make a purchase (at a street address, through a URL, or via a phone number). Similarly, Domino’s won’t be able to sell its products unless there’s a market of potential buyers nearby. When you receive a coupon on your phone or drive by and see the Domino’s store location, this communication barrier between you (the buyer) and the Domino’s owner (the seller) is overcome.

Something to Exchange Marketing occurs when the transaction takes place and both the buyer and seller exchange something of value. In this case, you exchange your money ($5.99) for each item ordered from Domino’s Mix & Match menu. Both you and the Domino’s owner have gained and also given up something, but you are both better off because each of you has satisfied the other’s unmet needs. You have the opportunity to eat Domino’s food items to satisfy your hunger, but you gave up some money to do so; the Domino’s owner gave up the pizza, salad, and other items but received money, which will help the owner remain in business. The ethical and regulatory foundations of this exchange process are central to marketing and are dis- cussed in Chapter 3.

HOW MARKETING DISCOVERS AND SATISFIES CONSUMER NEEDS

The importance of discovering and satisfying consumer needs in order to develop and offer successful products is so critical to understanding marketing that we look at each of these two steps in detail next. Let’s start by asking you to analyze the three products below.

Discovering Consumer Needs The first objective in marketing is discovering the needs of prospective customers. Marketers often use customer surveys, concept tests, and other forms of marketing re- search (discussed in detail in Chapter 7) to better understand customer ideas. Many

LO 1-2 Explain how marketing discovers and satisfies consumer needs.

For these three products, identify (1) what benefits the product provides buyers and (2) what factors or “showstoppers” might doom the product in the marketplace. Answers are discussed in the text.

firms also use “crowdsourcing” websites to solicit and evaluate ideas from customers. At LEGO Group, for example, ideas that receive 10,000 votes from site visitors are considered for possible addition to the product line. LEGO Group products that were discovered through the website include its Ghostbusters Ectomobile ambulance, its Mars Curiosity Rover, and a set based on the Minecraft video game! Sometimes, how- ever, customers may not know or be able to describe what they need and want. Smart- phones, connected homes, and electric cars are all examples of this, in which case an accurate long-term prediction of consumer needs is essential.8

The Challenge: Meeting Consumer Needs with New Products While marketers are improving the ways they can generate new product ideas, experts estimate that it takes 3,000 raw ideas to generate one commercial success. Market intel- ligence agency Mintel estimates that 33,000 new products are introduced worldwide each month. In addition, studies of new-product launches indicate that about 40 percent of the products fail. Robert M. McMath, who has studied more than 110,000 new- product launches, has two key suggestions: (1) focus on what the customer benefit is, and (2) learn from past mistakes.9

The solution to preventing product failures seems embarrassingly obvious. First, find out what consumers need and want. Second, produce what they need and want, and don’t produce what they don’t need and want. The three products shown previ- ously illustrate just how difficult it is to achieve new-product success, a topic covered in more detail in Chapter 9.

Without reading further, think about the potential benefits to customers and possi- ble “showstoppers”—factors that might doom the product—for each of the three prod- ucts pictured. Some of the products may come out of your past, and others may be on your horizon. Here’s a quick analysis of the three products:

∙ Google Glass. In 2014 Google launched a wearable computer called Google Glass. The new product was head-mounted and similar in appearance to a pair of glasses. In addition, though, the glasses had Internet capabilities, a camera, phone, speaker, microphone, touch pad, and a heads-up display. Less than a year later Google announced that it would stop producing Google Glass. While the product was popular among technology enthusiasts it did not attract a mass market. Show- stoppers included its $1,500 price tag, a general perception that it looked “nerdy,” and concerns that wearing the device might violate privacy rights. Google is re- portedly working on a redesigned model, however, so watch for a new Glass!10

∙ Coca-Cola Stevia No Sugar. As consumer preferences have shifted, beverage com- panies have expanded their offerings to include drinks with less sugar. Soda pro- ducers, for example, have offered new products such as Pepsi True and Coca-Cola Life which are sweetened with sugar and stevia leaf extract. New products are also being developed in anticipation of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s new Nutrition Facts label requirements, taking effect in 2020, which will provide more information about added sugars. Coca-Cola, for example, is testing Coca-Cola Stevia which will be sweetened only with stevia. A potential showstopper: In the past consumers reported that products with stevia sweetener had a bitter aftertaste. Will Coca-Cola Stevia be different? As always, as a consumer you will be the judge!11

∙ YoYo. This pay-per-mile car subscription service hopes to disrupt the traditional car purchase and ownership experience by offering consumers access to any type of vehicle at any time at a cost lower than the $9,500 consumers spend on per- sonal transportation each year. Selection takes place on a smartphone and the vehicle can cost as little as $0.50 per mile, which also compares favorably with car-sharing costs such as $0.96 per mile for an Uber vehicle, or $1.50 per mile for a Zipcar. What are potential showstoppers? Consumers might not value ac- cess to different types of vehicles, always driving a new vehicle, or avoiding the responsibilities of ownership.12
