10 Step Product Marketing Plan

Dear all

Here is the template and sample discussed in class for the 10 Step Product Marketing Plan.

http://www.hypermarketing2.com/2010/06/10-step-marketing-plan-template-and.html

The choice of topic is a crucial decision. Choose something that is medically related that is small enough to handle and big enough to matter. For example: too big is the national health plan for the Philippines while too small is addressing the medical needs of 1 family. Choose topics where you have access to resources either via interviews, resource persons, data from company records or from the internet. You can assure your sources that we can mask the data so as not to have confidentiality problems. For example,  instead of reporting 20 M sales and 2 M profit, we can report proportional numbers like 10 M sales and 1 M profit.

The professors don't need to approve the topic beforehand. But it is first come first served on choice of topics. To see what topics have been submitted, pls. click on the following link

http://www.facebook.com/visiondriven.coach?v=app_2373072738&ref=ts#!/topic.php?uid=108200742563139&topic=136

As of Oct. 29, I have not seen topics posted on the above link. I have received 1 submission via email but this does not count as the rest of the students wont be able to see this.

Here is the schedule as discussed in our class last Oct. 11
  
Oct. 31, 11:59 pm – Post topic and groupings in discussion board FB, “vcoach”

Want to Hear A Medical Marketing Forum in your Car while Driving?

Did you know that there are now 2 event websites for the first ever Medical Marketing forum? These are:

http://boost2010.webs.com

http://asmph2010media.wordpress.com

Since the contents of the marketing forum will be used for class discussions and midterm exams not only of YL8 but possibly for future batches as well, additional requirements for the forum organizers include:

1. Getting all or most of the speakers to sign a document saying that they are agreeing to their pictures and qualifications posted at the even website,  video footages of their talk being posted in youtube, their powerpoint lectures posted on the event site, and their voices recorded during the talk, saved in mp3 format for burning to CD which students can use to listen to while driving. The same document will also say that all these will be for non-profit, educational purposes only and will be clearly linked to the July 21 medical marketing forum. The speakers can select giving permission to all or only part of the items listed above (for instance, they may agree to the powerpoint but disagree on youtube by just checking "boxes" in the document, similar to a multiple choice format.

2. Doing #1 and submitting the final website and CD, 1 week after the July 21 forum.

For any questions, pls. feel free to text 0917-8571089. Thanks!

Hello Sir!

I'm Cristal Laquindanum, your student from the afternoon batch in the Marketing Forum. I sent a letter to Dr. Concepcion, director of the Professional Staff Department of The Medical City regarding inviting consultants, residents, and interns in our marketing forum. She agreed to do so but is requesting for the letter to include your signature as well. Since we virtually have no time to get out of the hospital because of clerkship, we will not be able to go to the Rockwell Campus to let you sign. If you could kindly provide us a digital signature, that would be greatly appreciated. If you have other suggestions on how we'll be able to grant Dr. Concepcion's request, it will be greatly appreciated also. Attached is the letter that we gave Dr. Concepcion's department. 

On a side note, it is really a challenge to handle both degrees especially in clerkship. We're doing the best that we can so that the forum will turn out great.

Why the Manny Pacquiao Brand Brings Home the Money

That Manny Pacquiao won over Joshua Clottey is not that difficult to answer to even an occasional boxing fan.  Nor will it be something that marketing or business students would learn from.

The bigger question is: why is the Pacman brand so popular that it is able to catch the interest of millions of people around the world, generate millions of PPV (pay per view) buys and inspire 50,994 people to watch it live?

What differentiates the Pacman brand from the thousands of other brands in the boxing world? Why does Pacquiao the brand bring home the money which others cant?

If you are a marketing management student at the Ateneo Graduate School of Business or the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health, you are encouraged (READ as: required) to click on the comments portion after this article to share your views. Also, in your answer, try to relate your arguments to marketing principles and concepts.

HyperMarketing 2.0: Highly Personal, High Performance Marketing for the Brand Called You

Hypermarketing 2.0 represents Highly Personal, High Performance Marketing for the Brand Called You and for the Company You Belong To, a new paradigm that I developed. The 2.0 suffix - denotes the next and higher level of marketing, aside from being a direct reference to the 2 hypers- highly personal and high performance. The other significance of the 2.0 is that it represents personal and corporate marketing. I propose that the concept is really new: if you google "hypermarketing", there are "no search results" in any on-line dictionary or wiki (as of March 7 2010 anyway).

The underlying premise of hypermarketing is that to achieve breakthroughs in a company's marketing results, it is absolutely essential that individuals who form part of the organization consider themselves as individual brands that need to use marketing principles as well. Company brands outperform competition only if its employees have outstanding personal brands. A great example is Apple and Steve Jobs. Apple is the innovative and global brand almost everybody admires because of the personal branding of Steve Jobs. Take out Steve Jobs and the Apple brand is diminished.

While personal branding is a decade old concept, this has been explored entirely on the individual level with very little linkage to its impact on companies and organizations to which a person belongs to. Strategic marketing for corporations has been a long-accepted must, but the approach provided limited focus on the personal brands of the people tasked to develop and implement it. Even in schools and universities, there is a lopsided emphasis on corporate marketing with very little attention to the equally important dimension that is personal branding and individual marketing.

Another key feature of the hypermarketing philosophy is that true marketing power comes from within- from individual personal brands in organizations combining and synergizing to a greater corporate brand. It is therefore important to develop and inspire personal brands as a necessary prerequisite to create, maintain and defend high performing corporate brands.

The “hyper” tag has been used to represent going beyond the “ordinary”:

• In Mathematics, hyper is a prefix that denotes a fourth or higher dimension, as in hypercube or hyperplane.

• In Physics, hyper as a prefix denotes a phenomenon that is above the superlevel (hypersonic for exceptionally high speeds and hypernova for exceptionally large stars). In Starwars, Startrek and other sci-fi movies the use of hyperspeeds and hyperspace was frequently used to denote the highest velocities needed to instantly go to another dimension or jump to another part of the universe.

• In Computers, hyperlink is a common term used to allow a direct jump or connection to another part of the same document or to a totally new document, thereby saving time and effort.

• In Retailing, hypermarkets are very large superstores which offer merchandise sold in both supermarkets and department stores.

In the movie, "You've Got Mail", one of the most profound lines spoken by Tom Hanks character, when he was offering an excuse for the closure of Meg Ryan's competing business was: "It's just business, not personal." To which Meg Ryan replied: "Everything starts from being personal." When we use this movie as a management case in class, I always remind my students that the line between business and personal breaks down when an underperforming brand or business results in people losing their jobs or living a lesser quality of life.

I propose that it is now time for hypermarketing 2.0 as everything is both business and personal.

Learn Marketing Strategy from TV commercials

A TV commercial represents the execution of a strategic marketing plan in as little as 15 seconds. Each detail is carefully planned and supports the brand image and unique selling proposition that a company wants to communicate to its audience. There is great value in reverse-engineering a commerial and discovering who the primary target market is and what needs, wants and demands are important to them, what is the product positioning and how it is supported by the marketing mix (price, product, promo, place) in the context of what competition is doing in that particular industry.

Here are select commercials used to promote persons, products, services, ideas and institutions.  Click on the Digital Video Library link on the right column of this blog or go to  http://bongdeungria.tumblr.com/
