from the point of View of its

Business success is not
determined by the producer
but by the customer.

It cannot be considered a
separate function.

• Today marketing isn’t simply a business function.
– it’s a philosophy, a way of thinking, and a way
of structuring your business and your mind
– marketing is much more than a new ad campaign
• Marketing’s task is to provide real value to targeted
customers, motivate purchase, fulfill consumer
needs, and never fool the customer or endanger
the company’s image.
• Creating customer value and satisfaction are at the
heart of hospitality and travel industry marketing.

take care of their customers, market share & profits
will follow.
• As a manager, you will be motivating your
employees to create superior value for your
customers.
• You will want to make sure that you deliver
customer satisfaction at a profit.
• This is the simplest definition of marketing.

• The purpose of a business is to create and maintain
satisfied, profitable customers.
– customers are attracted/retained when their needs are met
– customers talk favorably to others about their satisfaction
• Some hospitality managers act as if today’s profits
are primary and customer satisfaction is secondary.
– this attitude eventually sinks a firm as it finds fewer repeat
customers and faces increasingly negative word of mouth
• Successful managers understand that profits are best
seen as the result of running a business well rather
than as its sole purpose.

• When a business satisfies its customers, they will pay
a fair price for the product, which includes a profit
for the firm.
• Managers who forever try to maximize short-run
profits are short-selling both customer & company.
– much of the behavior of employees toward their
customers is the result of management philosophy
• The alternative management approach is to put the
customer first and reward employees for serving the
customer well.

• In the hotel industry, marketing and sales are often
thought to be the same
• Sales managers provide prospective clients with
tours, entertaining them in the hotel’s food and
beverage outlets.
– the sales function is highly visible, where most areas of
the marketing function take place behind closed doors
• It is not uncommon to hear restaurant managers say
that they ―do not believe in marketing‖.
– when they actually mean they are disappointed
with the impact of their advertising

• Advertising and sales are components of the
promotional element of the marketing mix.
– other elements include product, price, and distribution,
research, information systems, and planning
The Marketing Mix
What is Hospitality and Tourism Marketing?
• The Four-P framework calls for marketing to decide:
• Some critics feel the four Ps underemphasize or
omit certain important activities
– Product: the product and its characteristics
– Price: set the price
– Place: decide how to distribute the product
– Promotion: choose methods for promoting the product

• The marketing mix must be just that—a mix of
ingredients to create an effective
product/service package for the target market.
• This does not mean that selling and promotion are
unimportant.
– they are part of a larger marketing mix, a set of marketing
tools that work together to produce satisfied customers
• The only way selling and promoting will be
effective is if we first define customer targets and
needs and then prepare an easily accessible and
available value package.

wholesalers, hotels effectively eliminate competitors.
• Hotel & rental car companies have developed
cooperative relationships with airlines that offer
frequent-flyer plans.
• The success of cruise lines is a result of coordinated
marketing by many travel industry members.
– airlines, auto rental firms, and passenger railways
cooperatively develop packages with cruise lines
– requires coordination in pricing, promotion &
delivery of those packages

• Government or quasi-government agencies play an
important role through legislation and promotion of
regions, states, and nations.
• Few industries are as interdependent as travel–
hospitality which will only increase in complexity.
• The travel industry must understand the big picture and
respond to changing consumer needs through creative
strategies based on solid marketing knowledge.

• Many people think of marketing only as selling
and advertising, which is really only a tip of the
marketing iceberg.
– today, marketing must be understood in a sense
of satisfying customer needs
• If the marketer understands customer needs;
develops products that provide superior customer
value; and prices, distributes, and promotes them
effectively, these products will be sought after by
the customer. • Marketing is the art and science of finding, retaining, and growing
profitable customers.

• The most basic concept underlying marketing is that
of human needs. A human need is a state of felt
deprivation.
– these needs were not invented by marketers, but
are part of the human makeup
• The second basic concept to marketing is that of
human wants, the form human needs take as they
are shaped by culture and individual personality.
– wants are how people communicate their needs
– wants are described in terms of objectives that will
satisfy needs

• Sellers can confuse wants with needs. A drill bit
maker may think his customer needs a drill bit,
but what the customer really needs is a hole.
– these sellers forget that a physical product is only a
tool to solve a consumer problem.

along that serves the need better or cheaper.

• People have almost unlimited wants, but limited
resources, and so choose products that
produce the most satisfaction for their money.
– when backed by buying power, wants become
demands
• Outstanding marketing organizations go to great
lengths to learn about & understand their
customer’s needs, wants and demands.
– they conduct customer research.
– smart companies also have employees at all levels—
including top management—stay close to customers

• Consumer needs and wants are fulfilled through a
market offering.
– a product that is some combination of tangible, services,
information, or experiential product components
• In the hospitality industry, the intangible product
including customer service and experiences are
more important than the tangible products.
– a market offering includes much more than physical
goods or services
• Consumers decide which destinations to visit, events
to experience, hotels and restaurants to patronize.

Customer Value and Satisfaction
The Marketplace & Customer Needs
• Customer value is the difference between benefits
the customer gains from owning and/or using a
product, and the costs of obtaining the product.
• Costs can be monetary or nonmonetary & a very big
nonmonetary costs for hospitality customers is time.

• One of the biggest management challenges is to
increase their product value for their target market.
– managers must know their customers and
understand what creates value for them
• Customer expectations are based on past buying
experiences, the opinions of friends, and market
information.
• Marketers must set the right level of expectations.
– if they set expectations too low, they may satisfy
those who buy but fail to attract new customers
– too high and buyers will be disappointed

• Managers must realize the importance of creating
highly satisfied, rather than just satisfied customers.
• On a 7-point scale, with 1 very satisfied and 7 very
dissatisfied, most managers are happy to receive a 2.
• Think of the last time you went to a restaurant and
were just satisfied. Would you go back?
– probably not
• When you walk out of a restaurant and say,
―Wow, that was great!‖
– you will probably return and tell others about your
discovery

Figure 1-2 Scores of 1, 2, and 3 are all on the satisfaction side of the scale; that is, they are all better
than a score of 4, which is ―neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.‖ You can see that satisfying
the guest is not enough. Only when guests leave very satisfied are they likely to come back.
As a manager, your goal is to have all guests leave very satisfied.

maintain desirable exchange relationships with
target markets.

• Marketing management can be defined as the art
and science of choosing target markets and building
profitable relationships with them.
• To design a winning marketing strategy two
important questions require answers:
– What customers will we serve?
(what is our target market)?
– How can we serve these customers best?
(what’s our value proposition)?
• The company wants to select only customers that
it can serve well and profitably.

• A company’s value proposition is the set of benefits
or values it promises to deliver to consumers to
satisfy their needs.
– such propositions differentiate one brand from another
• The company must decide how it will serve targeted
customers—how it will differentiate and position
itself in the marketplace.
• Companies must design strong value propositions
that give them the greatest advantage in their target
markets.

• What philosophy should guide marketing strategies
that will build profitable relationships with target
consumers?
• What weight should be given to the interests of
customers, the organization, and society?
– often, these interests conflict with each other
• There are five alternative concepts under which
organizations design and carry out their marketing
strategies:
– production, product, selling, marketing, &societal

• One of the oldest philosophies guiding sellers, the
production concept holds that consumers will favor
products that are available & highly affordable.
– therefore management should focus on production
and distribution efficiency
• Management may become so focused on production
systems they forget the customer.
• Unionization of service staff is another reason for
a production mentality, when workers tend to work
in accordance with union work rules, which often
conflict with customer needs.

• The product concept, like the production concept,
has an inward focus.
• This concept holds that consumers
will favor products which offer
the most in quality, performance,
and innovative features.
• Focusing only on the products
can lead to marketing myopia.

• The selling concept holds consumers will not buy
enough products unless the organization undertakes
a large selling and promotion effort.
• The aim is to get every possible sale, not worry about
satisfaction or the revenue contribution of the sale.
• It does not establish a long-term relationship with the
customer; the focus is on getting rid of what one has.
• The concept exists within the hospitality industry,
with overcapacity being a major contributing factor.
– when owners & top management face overcapacity,
the tendency is to sell, sell, sell

• Pride in having the most capacity and false belief
economies of scale will occur as size increases.
• Economic incentives by governments to build a
larger tourism/hospitality infrastructure to create
economic growth.
– tax laws encourage overbuilding because of tax write-offs
• Poor/nonexistent forecasting & planning by owners,
consultants, financial organizations, governments.
– failure to merge revenue & sales/marketing management
• A myth that the travel industry faces almost
unlimited future demand.

• The marketing concept is a recent philosophy and
is being rapidly adopted in the hospitality industry.
• It holds that achieving organizational goals depends
on determining needs & wants of target markets and
delivering the desired satisfaction more effectively
and efficiently than competitors.
– Four Seasons Hotels, Accor, and McDonald’s follow
this concept fully
• The pure marketing concept ignores possible
conflicts between short-run consumer wants &
long-run societal needs.

• Societal marketing asks if the firm that serves &
satisfies individual wants is always doing what’s
best for consumers and society in the long run.
• Advocates of societal marketing would like public-
interest groups to guide corporations to decisions
that will benefit society over the long term.
• Societal pressures are already manifested in the
marketing of cigarettes, liquor & fast-food.
– hotels & restaurants have no-smoking sections
– restaurants can face liability for serving excessive alcohol
– fast-food pursues environmentally sound packaging

• The first three steps in the marketing process all
lead up to the fourth and most important step, that
of building profitable customer relationships
– a company can adopt any of three value-building tools
to develop stronger customer relationships
• The first relies primarily on adding financial benefits
to the customer relationship.
– airlines offer frequent-flyer programs
– hotels give room upgrades to their frequent guests
– restaurants have frequent-diner programs
.

and lounges & limo service for their first-class customers
– Sheraton developed flexible check-in and checkout times

determining which customers are worth cultivating.
– because you meet their needs more effectively than others

• When it comes to relationship marketing you
don’t want a relationship with every customer.
• Guests who are in the low-frequency, low-
profitability quadrant are often bargain hunters.
– they come when there is a promotion and avoid paying
full price at all costs
• It is very difficult to build a relationship with these
price-sensitive customers.

• Customer relationship management (CRM) may
be the most important concept of modern marketing.
• It involves managing detailed information about
individual customers, carefully managing customer
―touchpoints‖ in order to maximize loyalty.
• A customer touch point is any occasion a customer
encounters the brand & product, in actual experience,
personal/mass communication or casual observation
– for a hotel this includes reservations, check-in & out,
frequent-stay programs, room service, business services,
amenities, restaurants, and bars.

• CRM enables companies to provide excellent real-
time customer service through effective use of
individualized information.
– important because a major driver of profitability is
the aggregate value of the company’s customer base
• More recently, CRM has taken on a broader meaning
as an overall process of building and maintaining
profitable customer relationships.
• By delivering superior customer value &
satisfaction, it deals with all aspects of
acquiring, keeping, and growing customers.

• Companies are building more direct and lasting
relationships with carefully selected customers.
– many companies use profitability analysis to weed out
unprofitable customers and target winning ones
• Once they identify profitable customers, firms can
create attractive offers and special handling to
capture these customers and earn their loyalty.
• CRM has allowed companies to serve chosen
customers in a deeper, more lasting way.

• The final step in the marketing process involves
capturing value in return, in the form of current and
future sales, market share, and profits.
• Good CRM creates delighted customers, who remain
loyal and talk favorably to others about the company.
– studies show differences in loyalty of customers who are
less satisfied, somewhat satisfied, and completely satisfied
– a slight drop in satisfaction can create a large loyalty drop
• Companies are realizing that losing a customer
means losing the entire stream of purchases he/she
customer would make over a lifetime of patronage.

• Benefits of customer loyalty come from continued
patronage, reduced marketing costs, decreased price
sensitivity, and partnership activities.
– loyal customers purchase from the business they
are loyal to more often than nonloyal customers
– they also purchase a broader variety of items.
• Reduced marketing costs are the result of requiring
fewer marketing dollars to maintain a customer than
to create one.
– and the creation of new customers through the positive
word-of-mouth of loyal customers.

• Many markets have settled into maturity, with not
too many new customers entering most categories.
– outstanding companies go all out to retain their customers
• Competition is increasing, and the costs of attracting
new customers are rising.
– it might cost five times as much to attract a new customer
as to keep a current customer happy
• Offensive marketing typically costs more than
defensive marketing
– it takes a great deal of effort and spending to coax
satisfied customers away from competitors

• Good CRM can help marketers increase their share
of customer—the share they get of the customer’s
purchasing in their product categories.
– banks want to increase ―share of wallet‖
– restaurants want to get more ―share of stomach‖
– airlines want greater ―share of travel‖
• Loyal customers have higher propensity to frequently
purchase a wider variety of a company’s products.
• Marketers train employees to identify possible
products that may create additional value for the
customer that they have not purchased yet.

• Customer equity is the discounted lifetime values of
all the company’s current and potential customers
• The best approach to customer retention is to deliver
products that create high satisfaction and perceived
value, resulting in strong customer loyalty.
– the more loyal the firm’s profitable customers, the
higher the firm’s customer equity
• Customer equity may be a better measure of a firm’s
performance than current sales or market share.
– where sales & market share reflect the past, customer
equity suggests the future
