About adidas&lt;br /&gt;The vision of company founder Adolf Dassler has long become reality, and his corporate philosophy the guiding principle for successor generations. The idea was as simple as it was brilliant. Adi Dassler’s aim was to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment. It all began in 1920, when Adi Dassler made his first shoes using the few materials available after the First World War.&lt;br /&gt;The adidas name dates back to 1948, deriving from the first two syllables of Adi Dassler’s first and last name. One year later, Adi Dassler registered the Three Stripes as a trademark. After a period spanning almost 70 years, the Dassler Family withdrew from the company in 1989, and the enterprise was transformed into a corporation ("Aktiengesellschaft"). French-born Robert Louis-Dreyfus was Chairman of the Executive Board from April 1993 to March 2001. It was he who initiated adidas’ flotation on the stock market in November 1995. adidas--a name that stands for competence in all sectors of sport around the globe. Today, the adidas product range extends from shoes, apparel and accessories for basketball, soccer, fitness and training to adventure, trail and golf.&lt;iframe

(June 2008)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A marketing strategy is most effective when it is an integral component of corporate strategy, defining how the organization will successfully engage customers, prospects, and competitors in the market arena. corporate strategies, corporate missions, and corporate goals. As the customer constitutes the source of a company's revenue, marketing strategy is closely linked with sales. A key component of marketing strategy is often to keep marketing in line with a company's overarching mission statement[4].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basic theory: 1) Target Audience 2) Proposition/Key Element 3) Implementation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[edit]&lt;br /&gt;Sectorial tactics and actions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A marketing strategy can serve as the foundation of a marketing plan. A marketing plan contains a set of specific actions required to successfully implement a marketing strategy. For example: "Use a low cost product to attract consumers. Once our organization, via our low cost product, has established a relationship with consumers, our organization will sell additional, higher-margin products and services that enhance the consumer's interaction with the low-cost product or service."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A strategy consists of a well thought out series of tactics to make a marketing plan more effective. Marketing strategies serve as the fundamental underpinning of marketing plans designed to fill market needs and reach marketing objectives[5]. Plans and objectives are generally tested for measurable results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A marketing strategy often integrates an organization's marketing goals, policies, and action sequences (tactics) into a cohesive whole. Similarly, the various strands of the strategy , which might include advertising, channel marketing, internet marketing, promotion and public relations can be orchestrated. Many companies cascade a strategy throughout an organization, by creating strategy tactics that then become strategy goals for the next level or group. Each one group is expected to take that strategy goal and develop a set of tactics to achieve that goal. This is why it is important to make each strategy goal measurable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marketing strategies are dynamic and interactive. They are partially planned and partially unplanned.

(June 2008)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marketing strategies may differ depending on the unique situation of the individual business. However there are a number of ways of categorizing some generic strategies. A brief description of the most common categorizing schemes is presented below:&lt;br /&gt;Strategies based on market dominance - In this scheme, firms are classified based on their market share or dominance of an industry. Typically there are three types of market dominance strategies: &lt;br /&gt;Leader&lt;br /&gt;Challenger&lt;br /&gt;Follower&lt;br /&gt;Porter generic strategies - strategy on the dimensions of strategic scope and strategic strength. Strategic scope refers to the market penetration while strategic strength refers to the firm’s sustainable competitive advantage. &lt;br /&gt;Product differentiation&lt;br /&gt;Market segmentation&lt;br /&gt;Innovation strategies - This deals with the firm's rate of the new product development and business model innovation. It asks whether the company is on the cutting edge of technology and business innovation. There are three types: &lt;br /&gt;Pioneers&lt;br /&gt;Close followers&lt;br /&gt;Late followers&lt;br /&gt;Growth strategies - In this scheme we ask the question, “How should the firm grow?”. There are a number of different ways of answering that question, but the most common gives four answers: &lt;br /&gt;Horizontal integration&lt;br /&gt;Vertical integration&lt;br /&gt;Diversification&lt;br /&gt;Intensification&lt;br /&gt;A more detailed scheme uses the categories: &lt;br /&gt;Prospector&lt;br /&gt;Analyzer&lt;br /&gt;Defender&lt;br /&gt;Reactor&lt;br /&gt;Marketing warfare strategies - This scheme draws parallels between marketing strategies and military strategies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[edit]&lt;br /&gt;Strategic models This article needs additional citations for verification.

(June 2008)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marketing participants often employ strategic models and tools to analyze marketing decisions. When beginning a strategic analysis, the 3Cs can be employed to get a broad understanding of the strategic environment. An Ansoff Matrix is also often used to convey an organization's strategic positioning of their marketing mix. The 4Ps can then be utilized to form a marketing plan to pursue a defined strategy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marketing in Practice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Consumer-Centric Business&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a many companies especially those in the Consumer Package Goods (CPG) market that adopt the theory of running their business centered around Consumer, Shopper &amp; Retailer needs. Their Marketing departments spend quality time looking for "Growth Opportunities" in their categories by identifying relevant insights (both mindsets and behaviors) on their target Consumers, Shoppers and retail partners. These Growth Opportunities emerge from changes in market trends, segment dynamics changing and also internal brand or operational business challenges.The Marketing team can then prioritize these Growth Opportunities and begin to develop strategies to exploit the opportunities that could include new or adapted products, services as well as changes to the 7Ps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real-life marketing primarily revolves around the application of a great deal of common-sense; dealing with a limited number of factors, in an environment of imperfect information and limited resources complicated by uncertainty and tight timescales. Use of classical marketing techniques, in these circumstances, is inevitably partial and uneven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, for example, many new products will emerge from irrational processes and the rational development process may be used (if at all) to screen out the worst non-runners. The design of the advertising, and the packaging, will be the output of the creative minds employed; which management will then screen, often by 'gut-reaction', to ensure that it is reasonable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For most of their time, marketing managers use intuition and experience to analyze and handle the complex, and unique, situations being faced; without easy reference to theory. This will often be 'flying by the seat of the pants', or 'gut-reaction'; where the overall strategy, coupled with the knowledge of the customer which has been absorbed almost by a process of osmosis, will determine the quality of the marketing employed. This, almost instinctive management, is what is sometimes called 'coarse marketing'; to distinguish it from the refined, aesthetically pleasing, form favored by the theorists.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3316002010307976344-7846524886164914983?l=marketing-mafaza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marketing-mafaza.blogspot.com/feeds/7846524886164914983/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3316002010307976344&amp;postID=7846524886164914983' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3316002010307976344/posts/default/7846524886164914983'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3316002010307976344/posts/default/7846524886164914983'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marketing-mafaza.blogspot.com/2009/02/marketing-strategy.html' title='A marketing strategy'/><author><name>khamamah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01983286642129894838</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cFj-kEvNPGA/Sj2I6ZJNHTI/AAAAAAAAAQE/oigh1o9LOTk/S220/alam.jpeg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3316002010307976344.post-3918142368121559996</id><published>2008-07-28T05:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-28T05:51:43.002-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog'/><title type='text'>Business Blogs – Beyond the Hype</title><content type='html'>“Blogs are the most important thing to online marketing since sliced bread.” “Blogs may have their place… but it’s not in direct marketing.” With such disparate views, whom do you believe? The blog consultants? Or established “old school” marketing mavens?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barraged with hype, marketers can have a tough time deciding whether blogs should be part of their arsenal. Listen to the blog consultants? But who profits from the blog phenomenon? Are we talking “opportunistic agenda” or “objective perspective”?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about the marketing experts? Is it fair to say that blogging doesn’t belong in a direct or business-to-business marketing program? Why do so many veterans bristle at the idea of blogs? Is it simply because of imagined shortcomings? Or do blogs stump an “old school” sensibility that seeks a precedent for comparison? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A decade ago, with the dawning of the commercial web, marketers faced a similar dilemma. One faction wrote the web off as negligible, while another took to the barricades, waving the web banner and proclaiming the demise of other channels. As we learned, new vehicles do not necessarily replace old ones -- in fact, they may even supplement them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Okay,” you say, “history is well and good. But what happens in the next senior-management meeting when the CEO asks, ‘Does blogging belong in our marketing communications program?’ What do I tell him?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, you can tell him blogs are not an effective direct marketing tool. I doubt they ever will be. Blogging doesn’t allow you to precisely target audiences or permit any discernable control over who sees your message. However…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogs have already proven useful in publicity campaigns, generating word-of-mouth and, in some cases, media attention. CPG marketers have made the most effective use of commercial blogs, with highly imaginative efforts attracting throngs of consumers. There’s no question these blogs have affected consumer bonding with brands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogs can also play an important role in business-to-business marketing. Management gurus, public speakers and prominent business leaders can wield some mean business-to-business blogs. Tom Peters, for one, has a very successful blog. For Peters’ fans, this is a godsend -- access to Peter’s daily thought process. Of course, the more people who clamor to glean Peters’ next idea, the more likely his next seminar will sell out and his next tome will fly off the bookshelves.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are blogs right for every company or brand? No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are bloggers, and especially blog consultants, over-hyping blogs? Absolutely.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first group is merely excited about technology. The second benefits from getting businesspeople to turn off their logic and open their pocket books. The unfortunate backlash -- wholesale discrediting of blogs by critics who have either never used them effectively or never used them altogether.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A brave new nirvana? Or just a passing fad? The importance of blogging shouldn’t be overstated or ignored. (Though, currently, the most interesting aspect of blogs is social, not commercial.) Blogs are unique. They aren’t direct mail, telemarketing, direct response TV, e-commerce or e-mail marketing … and that’s fine. Defining what they aren’t doesn’t diminish their potential in the hands of a smart marketer.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3316002010307976344-3918142368121559996?l=marketing-mafaza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marketing-mafaza.blogspot.com/feeds/3918142368121559996/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3316002010307976344&amp;postID=3918142368121559996' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3316002010307976344/posts/default/3918142368121559996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3316002010307976344/posts/default/3918142368121559996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marketing-mafaza.blogspot.com/2008/07/business-blogs-beyond-hype.html' title='Business Blogs – Beyond the Hype'/><author><name>khamamah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01983286642129894838</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cFj-kEvNPGA/Sj2I6ZJNHTI/AAAAAAAAAQE/oigh1o9LOTk/S220/alam.jpeg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3316002010307976344.post-2440041077187912784</id><published>2008-07-28T05:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-28T05:32:33.327-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='web'/><title type='text'>Accurate Website Visitor Measurement Crippled by Cookie Blocking and Deletion, JupiterResearch Finds</title><content type='html'>According to JupiterResearch's recently released report, "Measuring Unique Visitors: Addressing the Dramatic Decline in the Accuracy of Cookie-Based Measurement," in 2004 58% of online users have deleted "cookies", which are small files often deposited on their computers by Web sites they visit. Tracking cookies is a principal means Web site operators use to track visitors, personalize their sites, and account for the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and Web site enhancements. If users delete cookies, accurate long-term measurement of consumer behavior on the site is severely compromised. If users block cookies, accurate short-term measurement is compromised, relegating increasing numbers of Web visitors to "anonymous" status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report found that as many as 39% of online users may be deleting cookies from their primary computer monthly, undermining the usefulness of cookie-based measurement and leaving many site operators flying blind. "Given the number of sites and applications that depend heavily on cookies for accuracy and functionality, the lack of this data represents significant risk for many companies," says Eric T. Peterson, Analyst at JupiterResearch. "Because personalization, tracking and targeting solutions require cookies to identify Web visitors over multiple sessions, the accuracy of these solutions has become highly suspect, especially over longer periods of time," added Peterson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Privacy and security concerns on the part of online users are responsible for the cookie-deletion behavior that JupiterResearch has found. According to a recent consumer survey cited in the report, 52% of online users indicate a strong interest in stories and articles about Internet security and privacy, while 38% of online users believe that cookies are an invasion of their security and privacy online and 44% of online users believe that deleting or blocking cookies will protect them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The JupiterResearch report provides advice to site operators for how to cope with the decline in accuracy of visitor measurement and predicts that Web analytics vendors will adapt their tools in the face of a consumer landscape that makes established measurement practices unreliable.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3316002010307976344-2440041077187912784?l=marketing-mafaza.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://marketing-mafaza.blogspot.com/feeds/2440041077187912784/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3316002010307976344&amp;postID=2440041077187912784' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3316002010307976344/posts/default/2440041077187912784'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3316002010307976344/posts/default/2440041077187912784'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://marketing-mafaza.blogspot.com/2008/07/accurate-website-visitor-measurement.html' title='Accurate Website Visitor Measurement Crippled by Cookie Blocking and Deletion, JupiterResearch Finds'/><author><name>khamamah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01983286642129894838</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cFj-kEvNPGA/Sj2I6ZJNHTI/AAAAAAAAAQE/oigh1o9LOTk/S220/alam.jpeg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3316002010307976344.post-1439403282710505017</id><published>2008-07-28T05:28:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-28T05:29:38.050-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='marketing'/><title type='text'>The Bottom Line on Marketing Accountability</title><content type='html'>Marketing accountability continues to be a hot topic. The reality is that there is a lot of talk, but not an equivalent degree of action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider a recent study by the CMO Council that found less than 20% of top technology marketers surveyed had developed “meaningful, comprehensive measures and metrics for their marketing organizations.” The last major study on marketing ROI found that 68% of marketers were unable to determine the ROI of their initiatives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While marketing accountability is a priority, these studies send a clear message: We’re not there yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all of the recent buzz over marketing ROI, the truth is, it is not necessarily the most appropriate metric for every marketing initiative. While determining marketing ROI is ideal for large initiatives and initiatives where it can be easily determined, such as direct mail or online marketing, it can be complex and cost prohibitive process to accurately determine marketing ROI on small offline branding campaigns. Don’t get me wrong, marketing ROI is the ideal measure, but it can be costly to properly implement. The majority of CFOs will agree and want to set thresholds for when marketing ROI is used as a measure of effectiveness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real bottom line is that CMOs need to sit down with CFOs to determine the appropriate marketing measures and who is best suited to monitor these measures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2002, I provided the keynote presentation for IQPC’s “Measuring and Ensuring Return on Your Marketing Investment” and recommended that CMOs work in cooperation with CFOs to determine the appropriate marketing measures. Further, I suggested exploring whether it may be most effective to have a member of the Finance department take responsibility for managing and monitoring these metrics. A number of consumer goods companies have successfully implemented such an approach. At minimum, CMOs should explore this option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Marketing - Finance partnership is beneficial on two levels. First, it helps create important CFO buy-in of marketing measurements. Second, it can put responsibility for metrics in the hands of the most qualified staff to handle metrics. Additionally, having these measures monitored by a member of the Finance department can eliminate the need to promote marketing successes to the finance department. It also means an immediate awareness of failures, which is probably the part that scares most marketers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is another reason. The divide between Marketing and Finance is often the greatest between any two business departments. I believe that the CMO must make forging a strong relationship with the CFO a priority. Finance must be a partner in determining marketing metrics. This buy-in is essential to marketing gaining the organizational credibility it needs to reach its potential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peter DeLegge is the publisher of Marketing Today.
