MARKETING AND PROMOTION When a company starts to sell goods in a new market, they often do some market research to see if the project is feasible. They research (investigate) the market potential to see if they will make money by selling in the new market (i.e. to see if the product is viable). One way to assess the market potential is to take a stand to a Trade Fair where companies can exhibit samples of their products and see what response they get from prospective customers. The Trade Fair is an exhibition of goods, and a company exhibits a sample of its product at its stand. This is also a form of publicity (or advertising) and the company representative will probably hand out brochures to advertise (or promote) the product further. Often journalists (the press) write about the Trade Fair and sometimes companies hold a press conference if they want to promote a particular model or range. (Each different type of a car, a bike etc. is a model. All the different models made by a company make up its range. The full range of goods is normally displayed in the company's catalogue. The catalogue is a booklet or a brochure). Another way of promoting (or publicizing) a new product is to place advertisements in magazines or newspapers. Advertisements are also called adverts or ads for short. A plan to do a lot of advertising of one product is called a campaign. Starting an advertising campaign on a new product is known as launching the product. 85 The aim of publicity/promotion is to interest customers, clients (or buyers) in the product. Initially customers/clients might make inquiries about the product. When they decide to buy, they place an order. At a Trade Fair companies are trying to win (obtain) as many orders as possible. However, before a client places an order he wants to know many things: how long delivery takes, whether the company can supply spare parts, what the after sales service is like. (All the individual parts in a model are called components. If one of the components breaks the customer will want a spare part. If the product is complicated, skilled workers might be needed to fit spare parts or to service or maintain the machinery. Any maintenance or servicing the company does after it has sold the product is called after sales service). жүктеу/скачать 1,01 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
