The Observational Research Handbook: Understanding How Consumers Live with Your Product by Bill Abrams, X
Makers of consumer goods--from shampoo to ice cream, from toothbrushes to plastic storage bags, from home comupters to lawn mowers--want to know how their products are really used by buyers. For example, how many dollops of styling mousse does the average user put in her hair to achieve a satisfactory hold? What constitutes a fresh smelling load of laundry? How does a pot full of spaghetti noodles need to look, feel, and smell in order for the average consumer to consider it cooked? Beyond test kitchens, focus group studies, and surveys, few qualitative research techniques have allowed marketers and manufacturers to gain a profound understanding of how consumers truly use a product once they get it home from the store. Enter observational research (also known as ethnography), an increasingly popular marketing research technique. In a marketing context, ethnography or "descriptive anthropology" is the study of consumer behaviors. It is about observing and analyzing how consumers respond to a product or service in their own environments based upon their cultural values and relationships. Observational researchers study how people use and react to products or services in their own homes. The results of such studies often reveal surprising insights into consumer behaviors and preferences. This information then allows companies to tailor their advertising and marketing efforts to meet the often unspoken but widely observed needs of their targeted consumers. "The Observational Research Handbook" explores the burgeoning qualitative marketing research technique of ethnography and is the most comprehensive professional reference available on the subject. Directed to marketing and advertisingprofessionals, as well as to market researchers and manufacturers of consumer products, the book explains what observational research is, what it can add to a consumer marketing effort, and how an ethnographic marketing study is conducted.



Lateral Marketing: New Techniques for Finding Breakthrough Ideas by Philip Kotler,
Lateral Marketing: New Techniques for Finding Breakthrough Ideas by Philip Kotler,
Today’ s marketers face a difficult challenge: how to innovate in a hypercompetitive, super-segmented marketplace. In a consumer economy saturated with homogeneous products and inhabited by customers who are more and more immune to advertising messages, traditional vertical marketing– with its fundamentals of market segmentation and brand proliferation– is beginning to fail us. Now, renowned marketers Philip Kotler and Fernando Trias de Bes present a new system for developing breakthrough opportunities– lateral marketing. Lateral marketing complements traditional marketing by providing an alternative route to generating fresh new ideas. Whereas vertical marketing helps us find increasingly smaller subgroups for which a product might be developed, lateral marketing lets marketers develop an entirely new product that finds a much wider audience. Instead of offering just another diaper for newborns in a cutthroat market, for example, Pull Up diapers are designed for an older child. Kotler and Trias de Bes show numerous examples of how lateral marketing leads to products that succeed even in the face of hypercompetition and product homogeneity. These innovations include new products like Honey Nut Cheerios Milk ’ n Cereal bars, a quick alternative to actual cereal with milk, or Gillette’ s Venus, a razor with a wider head made just for women’ s curves. Lateral marketing also includes using old products in a new way, such as promoting Bayer aspirin as a heart attack preventative. The new marketing concepts that led to these products are the direct result of a different creative process than the endless vertical segmentation of yesterday. This book definesa framework and theory for lateral marketing and the development of breakthrough ideas that will succeed in a consumer market already over-saturated.



Undercover marketing - Undercover marketing (also known as buzz marketing, stealth marketing, or by its detractors roach baiting) is a subset of guerrilla marketing where the consumer doesn't realize they're being marketed to. For example, a marketing company might pay an actor or socially adept person to use a certain product visibly and convincingly in locations where target consumers congregate.

Product marketing - Product Marketing deals with the first of the 4P's of marketing, the 4P's being Product, Pricing, Placement, and Promotion. Product Marketing, as opposed to Product Management, deals with more outbound marketing tasks.

Extreme (marketing) - The term extreme (often deliberately misspelled as "xtreme", "x-treme", or some variant) is frequently used in advertising and marketing of many consumer products as a more sensational and "hardcore" term for indicating that a product is, supposedly, better, more powerful or otherwise enhanced, "hardcore" or "special" when compared to similar competing products or even products of the same manufacturer, in order to distinguish it from simpler or not as "extreme" products.

Marketing mix for product software - The marketing mix is composed of the four controllable factors of marketing managers: price, promotion, product, and place (Kern, 2003). There are some characteristics that differ for software products than other mass produced goods such as clothing.
