Service Marketing Mix

Peeaar Graphics (2455837)


14
The diff erence between marketing goods
and marketing services becomes more
noticeable at the tactical level. This occurs
primarily because as marketing moves towards
tactical level. This occurs primarily because as
marketing moves towards tactical issues then it
also moves closer to, and, must be more
tailored to the distinguishing features of
specifi c products and markets. In the context
of the marketing mix, this suggests that in the
case of services, the composition of that mix
and the management of its elements can be
quite distinctive. Thus, we fi nd that the
applicability of the traditional 4 P's in the case
of service marketing has been extensively
questioned.

The service marketing mix should include a


fi fth "P' namely "people' to acknowledge the
important role played by individuals in the
provision of services. This additional element
incorporates not just personnel involved in
direct communication with customers; it also
includes operational personnel and the
customer group.

Therefore, the fi ve P's of service marketing


mix are "Product, Price, Promotion, Place &
People'.

Peeaar Graphics (2455837)


15
Product V/s. Service
Marketing
In manufacturing, the marketing function
plays an important role in the identifi cation of
customers need. Here customer needs are
identifi ed and product development before the
production. Production precedes demand
stimulation, which precedes consumption. The
postproduction refer include creating brand
awareness, including brand trial, demonstrating
brand benefi ts and building brand preference.
Customers assess the brands promised benefi ts
during consumption, strengthening or
weakening brand preference accordingly.

Peeaar Graphics (2455837)


16
Nature & Role of
Service Marketing
Although both services marketing and
goods marketing start with the critical need
identifi cation and product design functions,
goods generally are produced before it is sold
and services generally are sold before it is
produced. Moreover, service marketing has
more limited infl uence on customers before the
purchase than goods marketing.

Normally, the customers must experience


the intangible service to really know it.
Intangibility makes more diffi cult for customers
to imagine and desire than goods. Customer's
perception of risk tends to be high for services
because services cannot be touched, smelled,
tasted or tried before purchase.

Peeaar Graphics (2455837)

Marketing
Yesterday & Today
The word marketing was spelled out in a
diff erent sense few years back. Then, it was
understood as restricted to mere selling of
goods and services. The motive of the profi t-
oriented fi rms was to earn profi t through higher
sales volume for which aggressive selling
techniques were essential. It was the sellers
market where in goods were sold with least
regard to its quality, value, etc.

But today, the defi nition of marketing has


been changed. The marketing activities of an
organisation start before the product is
produced and continues ever after the product
is sold. In the buyers market of recent times
the sharpest weapon that a company can
develop in a globalised marketing place is the
value creation and delivery. The product and
demanding customer of today brings before
corporates a critical fact, when the customer is
jury, it is the value generation for the customer
that will separate the victor from the
vanquished. The value of customer service
cascades all over the company. The aim of
Peeaar Graphics (2455837)
18
customer focus is not just satisfaction but
delight.

"Satisfaction suffi ce but delight dazzles'

Moreover the marketing activities of a fi rm


are not just limited to profi t through customer
satisfaction, but it also includes the concept of
socially responsible marketing. Today, in order
to create a responsible and caring image of a
company, it needs to carry out various social
activities.

Therefore, the modern marketing concept


aims at delighting the customer by meeting his
requirements and therefore earns profi t and
fulfi lls the social responsibilities.

Defi nitions

"Marketing comprises both buying and


selling activities."
Pyle.

"It is an economic process by means of


which goods and services are exchanged
and their values determined in terms of
money price."
Edward David.

We can conclude that:


(1) The traditional concept lays emphasis on
the production or sale and purchase of
goods and services.
(2) Almost all the authorities belonging to the
group have neglected a key ingredient like
after sales service.
Peeaar Graphics (2455837)

(3) The traditional thoughts are "Product-
Oriented"
(4) None of the traditional experts have given
any importance to the social responsibility
or accounting.
(5) They have confi ned the functional areas of
marketing only to the limit of transfer of
goods and services or exchange of
ownership.

standard of living."
Malcom Mcnair & Paul

"Marketing is the process of discovering


and translating consumer needs and wants
into product and services specifi cation,
creating demand for the product and
services and then in turn expanding their
demand."

We conclude that:
(1) Marketing is a means to make profi table
sale.
(2) It is medium to satisfy consumer needs.
(3) It is a chain of processes backed by
creative thinking.
(4) Everything the business does is marketing.

LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

The survey done on Airtel has been


conducted with maximum accuracy and
eff ectiveness and tried to minimize the
limitations of the survey method. But still the
study suff ers from certain limitations, which are
as follows:

Sample size of 50 units may not be


suffi cient to draw the accurate conclusion.

Some important aspects aff ecting the


consumer and preference of consumer in

Peeaar Graphics (2455837)

terms of features may not be covered on
revealed in the questionnaire used.

Personal bias of respondents and in


analysis and interpretation may become a
constraint in revealing the true price.

CONCLUSION
Airtel has good reputation in the market.
Objective of survey is to know the satisfaction
of users. I have already discussed the objects
in the survey.

The organisation has good reputation in the


market; however, it requires some eff orts to
maintain the reputation for the betterment of
its future. However, now they are taking
reasonable steps to improve its brand name
and sales target.
Peeaar Graphics (2455837)
58
Lastly, I can say that Airtel has bright
future for the coming years. And I hope this
project report will help them taking right
decision and fulfi ll their customer demands.

Again, I am thanking to all who directly or


indirectly helped me.

Wishing Airtel, the best success

SUGGESTIONS

After making a survey in Rajkot on Airtel, I


have come to some conclusive suggestions,
which are necessary for the company. From my
point of view to maintain and improve the
market share of Airtel, my main points or
suggestions are:
Peeaar Graphics (2455837)
59
During the survey, the major problem faced
by the user is the "price' of particular
service. So as far as possible they should
maintain their price level less as per
market price.

Most of the customers of Rajkot don't know


about the services provided by Airtel. So
company should concentrate on this point
and advertise so they attract customers.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

Although it is said that only theoretical


knowledge is not enough. For studying any
topic, practical knowledge is must, hereby in
Peeaar Graphics (2455837)

this practical study, undergone without the
base of theoretical knowledge, the
understanding is incomplete.

Hence, to make this report easily


understandable and simple, I have taken
references of certain books regarding
marketing topics, retailing marketing, which are
mentioned below. For the basic knowledge and
concept clarity it was essential.
