Hautanen, Emma, Rowe, Eve-Marie January 2007 (has links)
Titel: Skapandet av lojalitet - en utvärdering av marknadsföringsstrategier. Författare: Emma Hautanen & Eve-Marie Rowe Handledare: Lars Vigerland Ämne: Marknadsföring Dokumenttyp: Kandidatuppsats 10p. Publiceringsår: VT-2007 Nyckelord: Lojalitet, Word-of-mouth, Involvement theory, Marketing mix, Medicinteknisk verksamhet, Medicintekniska avdelningen analys på Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset. Syfte: Syftet är att utvärdera om MTA-analys marknadsföringsstrategier skapar lojala kunder? Metod: I studien har författarna genomfört både en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ undersökning. Författarna har använt sig av abduktion i studien. Den kvantitativa undersökningen bestod av prestrukturerade svarsalternativ som utarbetas utifrån redan befintliga teorier för att på så sätt kunna koppla samman empirin och teorin kring studien. Således har studien gjorts enligt en abduktiv ansats. Undersökningen utfördes genom att enkäter skickades ut till MTA-A’s kunder, både avdelningar på sjukhuset och utomstående kunder. Den kvalitativa undersökningen bestod av intervjuer, författarna intervjuade sektionschefen och tre anställda på Medicintekniska avdelningen analys på Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset. Författarna intervjuade chef och anställda för att få en bild av hur väl den interna kommunikationen på MTA-As verksamhet fungerar. Teori: För att kunna ge en bakgrund till uppsatsens teoretiska referensram har fem befintliga teorier legat som grund för studien; Interaktiv kommunikation, Involvement theory, Service Value Chain, Grönroos-Gummesons kvalitetsmodell samt Marketing Mix. Genom dessa teorier kan man få en bild av hur graden av involvering påverkar konsumenternas köpbeteende, effekterna av word-of-mouth, hur man genom en väl fungerande intern marknadsföring ska få nöjda och återkommande kunder, vilka faktorer som bidrar till den 3 kundupplevd kvaliteten, samt om de olika faktorerna i marketing mix har någon betydelse för kunderna. Empiri: För att utvärdera om MTA-A marknadsföringsstrategier skapar lojala kunder genomfördes en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ undersökning för att se om svaren stämmer överens med varandra eller om det finns gap mellan ledning, personal och kunder. Genom detta kunde förståelse erhållas om kundernas uppfattning om hur de resonerar kring valet av MTA-A’s verksamhet och hur ledningen samt personalen ser på verksamheten. Resultat: Uppsatsens syfte besvaras med hjälp av gap-modellen, för att se om det finns brister i MTA-A´s marknadsföringsstrategier. Gapen mellan ledning, personal och kund är ett fåtal och det finns andra positiva aspekter i MTA-A´s verksamhet som överväger bristerna, såsom kompetent personal och bra service. Detta styrkes av enkätundersökningen där 30 stycken kunder svarade att de är eller kommer att vara återkommande kunder. Med underlag av enkätundersökningen konstaterar vi att MTA-A´s marknadsföringsstrategier skapar lojala kunder. Slutsats: De faktorer inom marknadsföringsstrategierna som är viktiga för att skapa kundlojalitet är utbudet av tjänster, kompetent och trevlig personal, bra internkommunikation, bra service, tillgänglighet och geografisk närbelägenhet.

Marketing Analysis and Business Evaluation - : Marketing for a new firm Resort Västra Lägern

Xie, Xuying January 2007 (has links)
Hospitality, tourism and leisure are industry sectors where different factors impinge together to provide a unique marketing context. The importance of concept intangibles, their significance to life-style and cultural preferences of customers in themselves represent a major challenge. Such intangibles may be more vulnerable to changes in customer perception than the physical aspects of product and service delivery. However, intangibles also present an opportunity for individual entrepreneurs to create alternative and differentiated concepts, based on their own view and intuition of what customers will find appealing. Resort Västra Lägern was founded under the circumstances. It is one new, small resort firm in the countryside of Sweden. The owner identified the niche market in this traditional industry. The favorable natural and cultural resources create the business background while the active entrepreneurship makes the possibilities. At the start-up of the firm, marketing analysis is necessary for this SME to position itself properly on the markets and to target the customers effectively. Marketing is absolutely central to the entrepreneurial process. For a new venture to be viable, customers have to desire what it is being offered, in sufficient numbers, and prepared to pay an economical price. This is at the heart of the marketing concept. However, an entrepreneurial approach implies taking advantage of market opportunities in a dynamic, proactive way.

gooh! Marketing Mix och Brand image : En fallstudie om hur brand image och marketing mix modellens faktorer påverkar konsumenters köpbeteende.

Nyström, Mattias, Åbonde, Johannes January 2008 (has links)
Till följd av en ständigt ökad konkurrens blir det allt svårare att som ny aktör att ta sig in på olika marknader. Vad som däremot kan underlätta etableringsprocessen för nya företag och varumärken är att associeras och förknippas med redan etablerade och välkända varumärken. Företaget gooh! är ett nytt måltidskoncept som funnits i drygt två år och är ett samarbete mellan Lantmännen och Operakällaren. Det intressanta här är att företaget gooh! har två kända varumärken som medverkar och står bakom konceptet. I den här uppsatsen kommer vi att undersöka hur Marketing mix modellens faktorer påverkar en konsuments första köp av en gooh! produkt, med syfte att se om någon av dessa faktorer är mer viktig än någon annan samt att se hur dessa samverkar med varandra. Vi vill också i denna uppsats se hur konsumentens första köp påverkas av att två starka varumärken står bakom konceptet gooh!. Undersökningen baseras på en kvantitativ undersökning där vi slumpmässigt frågat 50 konsumenter som alla handlat i en och samma gooh! butik. Resultaten vi kommit fram till i denna undersökning tyder på att den valda ”platsen” av butik, dvs. lättillgängligheten till butiken är den faktor som påverkar konsumentens första köp mest, men även de andra faktorerna i Marketing mix modellen är av stor betydelse. Vidare visar även våra resultat på att Lantmännens och Operakällarens samverkan, har en positiv inverkan på konsumentens köpbeteende. I vår slutsats kommer vi bl.a. fram till att dessa två aktörers medverkan bidrar till en kvalitetsstärkning av gooh! produkterna och skapar ett mervärde hos konsumenten.

What a Difference a Bank Makes

Klaus, Alexander, Marie, Ségolène January 2006 (has links)
Nowadays, the service industry, especially banks, faces increasing competition. In such environment, differentiation is necessary. The general purpose of this thesis is to understand how a bank can achieve differentiation based on a marketing approach. Two research questions will respectively examine the three additional P’s of the marketing mix (People, Presentation or Physical Evidence and Process) and the Customer Relationship Management as possible differentiators. To fulfill the purpose, the authors of the thesis introduce an extended model of the CRM concept, including the three additional P’s. Further, the researchers of the thesis interview the four major banks in Sweden SEB, Svenska Handelsbanken, FöreningsSparbanken and Nordea, to test their model. After an analysis of the interviews, the authors come to the conclusion that the extended model of the CRM concept is actually used as a differentiator. However, as the four major Swedish banks have a similar strategy; it then appears really difficult to differentiate to a large extent.

Förändring av förpackning som utökning av marknadsmixen : En studie av fem snabbrörliga konsumentvaror inom livsmedelsbranschen

Sandström, Carolina, Eriksson, Sofie January 2011 (has links)
Denna uppsats behandlar förändring av förpackning som en möjlig utökning av produktkategorin i Kotler & Kellers utvidgade marknadsmix. I marknadsmixen behandlas förpackningen som statisk under en varas livstid och studiens syfte var att se om förpackningsförändringar istället bör ske vid flertalet tillfällen. Genom existerande litteratur identifierades tre centrala begrepp som ansågs betydelsefulla för studien; förpackning, förändring av förpackning och differentiering. Fem olika företag med snabbrörliga konsumentvaror inom livsmedelsbranschen intervjuades om varför förändringarna sker. Företagen valdes efter ett antal grundkriterier och ett av dessa var att de skulle ha genomfört förändring av förpackning under de senaste fem åren. VD:n för en designbyrå intervjuades även som komplement. Intervjuerna sammankopplades sedan med de tre centrala begreppen för att få en förståelse för varför förpackningsförändringar genomförs. I analysen framkommer det både positiva och negativa aspekter med förpackningsförändringar. Det konstateras att en förpackningsförändring sker på grund utav den hårdnade konkurrensen för snabbrörliga konsumentvaror, den höga andelen beslut som tas vid köptillfället samt den minskade betydelsen av traditionell reklam. Avslutningsvis konstateras det att förändring av förpackning skulle kunna ses som en utökning av produktkategorin i Kotler & Kellers utvidgade marknadsmix. Det är dock viktigt att förändringarna sker med ett tidsintervall som tillåter konsumenterna att vänja sig vid förändringen innan nästa genomförs. / This paper deals with change in packaging as a possible extension of the product category in the extended marketing mix by Kotler & Keller. The purpose of the study was to see if package change should be an ongoing process rather than static within the product category in the extended marketing mix. Through existing literature we identified three key concepts that were considered important for the study; packaging, package change and differentiation. Five different companies with fast-moving consumer goods in the food industry were interviewed about why package change occurs. The companies were selected through a number of criterions; one of them was that they should have repackaged some of their products within the last five years. As a complement, a CEO of a design agency was interviewed. The results of the interviews were later on associated with the three key concepts to gain an understanding of why package changes are implemented. The analysis shows that both positive and negative aspects of package change exist. Our findings show that package change occurs due to the intensified competition of fast moving consumer goods, the high percentage of decisions made at the time of purchase, and the reduced importance of traditional advertising. Finally, we found that package change could be seen as an extension of the product category in Kotler & Keller's extended marketing mix. However, we found that it is important that changes occur at a time interval that allow consumers to get used to the change before the next is made.

Customer Satisfaction within Live Performing Arts: The Case of Programbolaget i Jönköping

Ramanava, Aliaksandra, Scholl, Maria Franziska January 2012 (has links)
Live performing arts are one of the most important heritages, defining the cultural identity of a society. Since live performing arts are cultural services, the process of experiencing them is pivotal in forming satisfaction on the customer side. Achieving customer satisfaction is crucial for non-profit cultural institutions operating under the Swedish cultural model. An investigation of the achieved level of customer satisfaction and a comparison to customer expectations is therefore necessary for offering cultural services, which meet customer expectations. Since service quality and hence customer satisfaction can be controlled via the elements of the services marketing mix, the authors focused on investigating the marketing mix of Programbolaget i Jönköping (PJ). The authors wish to investigate to what extent PJ’s current audiences are satisfied with the quality of the services marketing mix provided by PJ, what customers expect from it and what managerial implications can be advised to improve the service. The authors use a mixed methods approach. Quantitative data about customer satisfaction is collected via a questionnaire, which applies a five point Likert scale. Descriptive and non-parametric statistics are used in the data processing. Semi-structured interviews with PJ and customers are conducted to obtain information about the nature of PJ and customer expectations. The conclusions drawn from this study are that the overall level of satisfaction with PJs services marketing mix among PJ’s customers is satisfying, while deviations between the different elements exist, where the elements price, promotion and product score lowest. It is also found that some parameters of the marketing mix have significant levels of importance for customer groups. Customer expectations regarding the services, which scored low, were investigated through interviews. Based on the conducted statistical tests and the expectations of the customers, recommendations regarding PJ’s services are made in order to increase customer satisfaction.
