Laws of Marketing

Marketing is the science, not just the creativity to develop a product and sell it out. Process of marketing starts before the development of product which includes understanding the customer’s interest, needs, problems and challenges. If you design your product after understanding the customer’s requirement then it automatically sell out naturally.

To understand the Marketing you need to ask yourself
1) What to Market? => Product
2) Whom to Market? => Target Customers
3) When to Market? => Right timing
4) What is the need of Marketing? => To increase Sales activities

Marketing is the process of sending Right Product to Right Person at Right time.

“Marketing is the Game of Perception”

The Product is designed in such a way that it fulfils the customer’s needs, solve the majority of peoples common problem, then sells will automatically attracted. Quality of Product is very Important factor. Marketing is based on perception of customer but the product is in the root. A great product sells itself.

Good Product automatically accelerate the rate of Marketing by the customers. If one customer purchase your product and he completely satisfied then definitely he will refer to another one and so on .

Good marketing is a good perception of product only but not helps people to discover the good product, i.e. A low quality product may have good perception with help of good marketing , that is happening in Indian market today’s time. But if low quality product is promoted, it will not stable in market, its value becomes degraded when people realize the truth.

When you market any product to your target customer, then How much chances are there that he will purchase your product, it depends upon your customer that how much trust he have on you. So it is need to build a strong trust to your target audience. More the trust build up, more the chances to purchase the product, result in more selling to you.

Another aspect is to build a Brand or Become a brand to capture a position in the marketspace which is occupied in Customer’s mind same like examples Thanda matlab Coca-Cola, Search Engine- Google etc.

In short

Traditional vs Digital Marketing

How can I market the Product?

The Product can be marketed through the medium of Digital Marketing as well as Traditional Marketing.
Now, the question comes in mind that which one is better? which one is more successful?

Let’s see some Medium of both both types of Marketing:

TV ads can reach up to 800 million to 1 billion peoples, Radio can reach 65% of the Population, Newspaper can reach 400–500 million people. These are some traditional ways to reach out broad audience but a very high cost.

Digital Marketing media can reach up to same count but at very low cost with help of Paid advertising, Email marketing etc. Digital media is a growing media with developing technology as everything is going to be settle on digital media. Even TV becomes smart TV having Android version can support webpages, Facebook app etc. So Digital Media is becoming more powerful in today’s era.

Traditional Marketing is impactful, Permanent & measurable but its hard to measure the target audience, sometime expensive and also no any direct interaction with audience.

Digital Marketing is very powerful, very wide variety of media, also measurable the target audience. But Digital Marketing is continuously evolving as Technology evolving. So you need to be flexible and adopt the change of technology.

CATT Marketing Funnel

When you develop some Quality product, you need to generate Sales through Marketing either it may be traditional or Digital Marketing, But whatever path you choose, you need some kind of marketing funnel which helps you to generate more sales and ultimately more wealth. When you go to the path of digital marketing, you need to follow CATT Funnel, which is based on your selected Niche. Your wealth and success is depend on your selection of niche which is based on Passion, talent and Market opportunities.

Wealth = n^CATT
n = Niche
C= Content
A= Attention
T = Trust
T = Transaction

What is the Niche?

To find out your proper Niche, you need to follow three principal rules:

1) Passion :- Ask yourself “Am I passionate about it?”

2) Talent :- “Do I have a skill to do this one effortlessly?”

3) Market opportunities:- “What kind of problem I wanna going to be solve? Is it based on reality? How much demand is there?

Most of the people fails because they don’t follow all the three rules. If anyone of them fail, people fails out.
So that’s why the right selection of niche is very important.

What is CATT Funnel?

Content

When you decide/choose your niche, you need to further create the attractive content which becomes your assets. Contents may be in the form of Blog Post, Videos, Audios, Images, Web series, Online Webinar, 3 Day Courses etc. The Quality and Originality of your content completely decide how much traffic will come to your content, how much people come and purchase. If your content solve the problems of most of the people then demand will become increased, then traffic will come on your content in a natural way. But if not, then you put more effort to build your content original and high quality.

Attention

In the whole world attention is the only key from which every action is started. If attention is not there, no existence of anything.
