First Note
300 Words about the first meeting of Marketing Management

First class of Marketing Management lecture by Prof. Dr. Ir. Ujang Sumarwan, MSc held on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 at SB IPB. Before the class started, all the students need to complete the online pre-test on marketing. The goal is to measure the understanding of each student regarding marketing area, and also to tell the students some of marketing terms, such as marketing mix, new consumer/company capabilities, the difference between needs & wants, etc.

During the class, I’ve found out that Prof. Ujang’s way to teach is quite interesting. For example, all the students need to say a keyword about marketing, without copying/repeating the answer that already said by the other student. It pushed all the students to think creative and out of the box, so the answers will be varied. Some of keywords are selling, promotion, product, segmentation, branding, and advertising. After all the keywords are gathered, then Prof. Ujang explained us about the marketing itself, the marketing area – which include some of the keywords, the difference of wants, needs, and demand, and also the types of demand (such as negative demand, no demand, and latent demand).

After that, Prof. Ujang explained us about promotions that has 2 meaning, which are the incentives, and the communication. Communication become one of important area because it can be a critical factor for the successful promotion. Prof. Ujang also explained us about 4Ps of marketing mix, the concept by Jerome McCarthy, which are product, place, price, and promotion.

4Ps - The Examples of Marketing Mix in Digital Era

Jerome McCarthy formulized 4Ps to simplify some of the ways to boost sales. The 4Ps itself, popular as Marketing Mix, needs to be adapted to each customer segmentation, and also for each product/category. As stated in Pemasaran Strategik: Perspektif Perilaku Konsumen dan Marketing Plan book page 11 (Ujang Sumarwan, 2017), for any target group or customer segmentation, integrated marketing programs – that includes the 4Ps - are needed to boost sales effectively.

My overall impression to this class are so interesting. I think Prof. Ujang has successfully explain the basic concept of marketing in a simpler yet fun way. I can’t wait for the next session next week.
