Paperback § Mass-market The term "mass market" refers to a market for goods produced on a large scale for a significant number of end consumers . The mass market differs from the niche market in that the former focuses on consumers with a wide variety of backgrounds with no identifiable preferences and expectations in a large market segment. [1][2] Traditionally, businesses reach out to the mass market with advertising messages through a variety of media including radio, TV, newspapers and the Web. [3] Definition [ edit ] Scholars have noted that defining the precise nature of the mass market is problematic. [4] This difficulty arises, at least in part, from scholarly attention being given to the process of mass marketing rather than the mass market, per se. In addition, the concept of a mass market means different things in different contexts and has evolved over time, adding yet another layer of complexity. [5] The ‘'Cambridge Business English Dictionary defines a mass market as: [6] a market of as many people as possible, not just people with a lot of money or particular needs or interests [or] a product that is intended to be sold to as many people as possible, not just to people with a lot of money or particular interests. A mass market, also known as undifferentiated market, is a large group of current and/or prospective customers, where individual members share similar needs. The size of a mass market depends on the product category. Mass marketers typically aim at between 50 and 100 percent of the total market potential. [7] For example, the laundry detergent, Tide, reportedly had a 65% in-store market share (in the US) by developing a “good for everybody” product and targeting a broad middle-class market. [8] By the 1980s, Coca-Cola commanded almost 70% share of the US market [9] Mass market products and brands offer lower acceptable quality, are mass-produced, widely distributed and typically rely on mass media to create high levels of market awareness and ultimately market penetration. A premium brand, in contrast, combines elements of luxury and mass market, appealing to a broad market with higher quality products, often designed by high profile designers, with unique or prestige points of differentiation and offered at reasonable prices. Premium brands offer an alternative to luxury goods. [10] History [ edit ] “You Press The Button, We Do the Rest”, Kodak’s campaign slogan The concept of a ‘mass market’ is relatively modern. Prior to the industrial revolution , a market referred to a physical place (i.e., a marketplace ). However, by the late 18th century, people could participate in the market without physically attending a marketplace. By the 20th century, the concept could be used to describe a process ( mass production / mass marketing ), a group of consumers as well as a physical place. [11] The process, mass marketing , involves the pursuit of an entire market or a large proportion of the market with a single product and a single marketing program. In mass marketing, there is no market differentiation and no product differentiation. . [12][13] The term, 'mass market’, emerged in the 19th century and had its origins in social, political and economic transformations occurring across the developed world throughout the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries. [14] Population growth combined with rising wages, higher standards of living, concentrated populations, increasing urbanisation, increased social mobility and the rise of a middle-class fuelled a rise in demand for goods and services. To meet this demand, industry was restructured: manufacturers needed new production, distribution and merchandising systems to satisfy the growing demand for affordable goods and services. [15] As certain historians have noted, the supply-side 'industrial revolution’ was accompanied by a demand-side 'consumer revolution’. [16][17][18] Model-T Ford in 1919 By the 17th century, raw materials, manufactured goods and foodstuffs were being transported around the globe. However, for mass market accessibility, effective domestic transportation and communication systems, such as the railways and the telegraph, were essential preconditions. [7] Scholars point to the second half of the 19th century as a forming a 'revolution i n distribution’ with innovations in transportation, storage and packaging enabling rapid, efficient movement of goods across vast distances. [19] Mass production techniques, facilitated by technological developments, enabled the production of low-cost, standardised products designed to appeal to a broad cross-section of the market. [20] By the 20th century, new distribution systems gradually supplanted the peddlers , hawkers and small, independent retailers that had characterised pre-industrial supply channels. [21] As the century progressed, improvements in the supply chain gave rise to a plethora of innovative mass market retailers – from department stores through to franchises and chain stores . [22] Notable early examples of mass marketers include: • Kodak : George Eastman , who founded Kodak in 1888, revolutionised photography when he developed inexpensive, portable cameras and effectively created a mass market for amateur photographers [7][23] To highlight the camera’s ease of use, the campaign slogan promised, ““You press the button, we do the rest” (1888). [24] • Ford Motor Company : Henry Ford perfected the moving assembly line in order to produce a high-quality automobile (the model T) priced within the reach of a market of unprecedented size. [25][26] Coca-Cola bottle, 1915 • Coca-Cola : When Asa Candler purchased the Coca-Cola recipe in 1891, his strategy was to mass market the beverage across the US, by producing a single 6.5-ounce bottle in only one flavour. The company made a concerted effort to appeal to every segment of society, using a national distribution system via food retailers (as opposed to the drugstores used during the formative years). [27] At its peak, in the late 1980s, Coca-Cola commanded almost 70 percent market share [9] Rise and fall of the mass market [ edit ] Download 323.17 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
