11. The Marketing Program After assessment the marketing manager must transact the ideas from consumers into some concepts for products the firm might develop (Figure 1-4). These ideas must then be converted into a tangible marketing programa plan that integrates the marketing mix to provide a product, service, or idea to prospective consumers. These prospects then react to the offering favorably (by buying) or unfavorably (by not buying), and the process is repeated. In an effective organization this process is continuous: consumer needs trigger product concepts that are translated into actual products that stimulate further assessment of consumer needs.

A Marketing Program for Golden Valley Microwave Foods To see the specifics of a marketing program, lets return to the earlier example of Jim Watkins, Golden Valley Microwave Foods, and their microwave popcorn.

Watkins knew that he and Golden Valley had a huge problem: finding ways to get their microwave popcorn onto shelves of retail stores. The company didnt have the money to hire its own sales force and establish its own distribution system for sales to various types of retail outlets across the United States. So Watkins devised a marketing program for Golden Valleys microwave popcorn with two key elements (Question 4, Figure 1-1). One element was a program in which the firm would market its popcorn under the brand name Act II to mass merchandisers such as Mart and Target throughout the United States.

The second element was to gain space on supermarket and grocery store shelves across the country by granting an exclusive license to General Mills to market shelf-stable microwave popcorn using Golden Valleys patented process and packaging technology. General Mills now sells microwave popcorn nationwide under the trademarked Betty Crocker Pop Secret brand name, using its own sales force and distribution system.

Watkins, working with General Mills, combined these two elements into two marketing programs for two different target markets: (1) mass merchandisers and (2) supermarkets.
