What are the marketing 6 Ps?

These six activities are important for the success of a particular product, service or brand. They also help ensure a well-organised framework is followed, especially when developing and carrying out marketing and business strategies.

  • The product, for example, can be assessed on its quality, distinctiveness and benefits for the customer.
  • Costs, competition and value to the customer can all be taken into account when setting the price.
  • The place can be adjusted based on the target market, the competition and the availability of sales channels.
  • The promotion can be planned based on the target market, the brand and the marketing tools.
  • The people can be trained and motivated to increase customer satisfaction.
  • The presentation can be planned to leave the customer with a professional and trustworthy impression.

How do you use the 6 Ps effectively?

To use the marketing 6 Ps effectively, you can follow these steps:

Be specific about the goal and target audience of the product, service or brand. This can help determine which aspects of the 6 Ps matter most. It can also help with how you implement them effectively.

Then carry out a thorough analysis of the brand, service or product, and of the market environment. This can help identify the distinguishing qualities of the product or service. You can then turn those qualities into a marketing strategy.

Next, determine the costs, the benefit to the customer and the pricing based on the competition. Make sure the price is fair for the target audience and in line with other similar products.

Decide on place, depending on the target market, the level of competition and the accessibility of sales channels. Make sure the brand, service or product is easy for the target audience to reach.

Plan the marketing campaign for the product, service or brand based on the target market, the sector and the available marketing resources. Make sure the marketing materials are efficient at spreading the advertising and that the advertising appeals to the needs and interests of the target market.

Then make sure you have enthusiastic, well-trained staff to increase customer satisfaction. This can make customers more loyal to the brand, product or service.

Finally, offer a polished and striking presentation of the brand, service or product. As well as helping to set the product, service or brand apart from the competition, this can help the buyer form a favourable image of it.

De 4 p’s zijn product, prijs, plaats en promotie. De 6 p’s voegen daar personeel en presentatie aan toe, omdat bij dienstverlening de mensen en de uitstraling mee bepalen of een klant voor je kiest. Voor een vakbedrijf tellen die twee extra p’s vaak zwaar mee.

Product is welke installaties en welk onderhoud je levert, prijs is hoe je offreert. Plaats is je werkgebied en promotie zijn de kanalen waarmee je klanten bereikt. Personeel zijn de monteurs die bij de klant over de vloer komen, en presentatie is hoe je bus, offerte en website eruitzien.

Begin bij je doelgroep, want elke p hangt af van wie je klant is. Loop daarna de p’s een voor een door en noteer per p wat je nu doet en wat beter kan. the 7 Ws helpen om die doelgroep eerst scherp te krijgen.
