6 MAJOR CATEGORIES OF STRATEGIC DECISIONS LINKED TO CUSTOMER TARGETING 1. MARKETING INTELLIGENCE It corresponds to the effort conducted by the firm to decipher competitors' standing and to try to anticipate their future moves. Important issues are product introductions, marketing approaches, changes in segmentation practices, price policies, product liabilities, new distribution channels, and improved services approaches. 2. DEFINING AND ANALYZING MARKETS These decisions are concerned with generating marketing intelligence for the firm. It starts with an appropriate market segmentation, and a finer definition of product-market segments so as to capture the different preferences and needs of customers. In each of those segments, an analysis of the behavior of consumers and organizational buyers is conducted, as well as of the overall strategic competitive situation. 3. PRODUCT STRATEGY It refers to decisions on how to position a business unit product offering including specific products, breadth of product lines, mix, and bundling - to serve its target markets, establishing strategic objectives for products - market share, profit contribution, and selecting a branding strategy. 4. NEW PRODUCTS DEVELOPMENT AND INTRODUCTION Issue included are: idea generation, screening and evaluation of ideas, business analysis, development of a prototype, formulation of a marketing approach, market testing in pilot regions, adjustment of administrative and support systems, and new products introduction.

7 5. DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY Decisions involved: selection of a distribution channel - whether direct or via retailers, wholesalers, or agents; design and management of the physical distribution system - including customer service, demand forecasting, inventory control, materials handling, order processing, parts and service support, warehousing and storage, procurement, packaging, returned goods handling, and traffic and transportation; and push vs. pull mode of operation of the distribution and sales systems. 6. PRICE STRATEGY The central factors that affect price strategy are product competitive positioning, product mix, brand strategy, and product quality and features. The distribution strategy also influences how the price decision will be affected by the advertising and sales force strategy 7. PROMOTION AND ADVERTISING STRATEGIES An integrated promotion strategy has four components: advertising - presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or services by an identified sponsor; personal selling - oral presentation to one or more prospective purchasers; sales promotion - includes trade shows, contests, samples, point-of-purchase displays, and coupons; and publicity - exhibition in mass media not paid for directly by sponsor. 8. SALES STRATEGY This encompasses all of the key decisions that should support a coherent sales strategy including account management, cross-selling and upselling, territory management lead closure, opportunity management, sales force incentives, sales team composition, and customer engagement process. 9. SERVICE STRATEGY The extend to which service activities become a highest priority to the firm is a critical element of service strategy. Critical decisions are the scope of the service offering, the degree of technical support provided, the amount of customization of service activities, the management of account inquiries, service dispatch, problem resolution, and service tracking.

8 10. MARKETING ORGANIZATION AND MANAGERIAL INFRASTRUCTURE It includes the development of an organization structure; planning, control and information systems; and rewards and incentives systems in accordance with the culture of the firm and the marketing strategy. It is important to reflect on the proper segmentation in the organizational structure of product marketing - which typically resides in the back-end of the organization, and customer marketing - which typically resides in the front-end.

9 MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE RELATED TO CUSTOMER TARGETING STRATEGY At the heart of customer targeting strategy there are four major strategic positioning that, taken as a whole, can serve as the primary criteria for customer targeting strategic performance: 1. PRODUCT STRATEGY Sales growth rate Market share Relative market share Breadth of product line, market coverage, degree of differentiation Rate of successful new product introductions Product bundling 2. CUSTOMER STRATEGY Customer share Customer retention Profitability by customer Customer involvement in joint product development Degree of customization of product offering 3. DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY Efficiency of distribution channels Customer service levels Distribution costs per channel Distribution and sales force productivity 4. PRICE STRATEGY Price sensitivity Pricing of marketing mix 5. PROMOTION AND ADVERTISING STRATEGY Product segmentation Brand acceptance
