In order to effectively undertake market research on customer behaviour; such as expected prices, how they react to certain methods of research and what kind of care do the customers expect after the purchase is made, it would be best to use observation along with focus groups.

As I reflect back over these last five weeks I now have a clearer view of marketing and how it affects not just the consumers of the world and the companies with their marketing managers, but how it affects me. Yes, I am a consumer who clips coupons, budgets my finances, and looks for sale items and this marketing class has taught me that marketing is more than selling or advertising.

Papa John’s competitive strategy primarily follows Porter’s unique or unusual product of services. Papa John’s executives understands their product is unique and people chose them over other pizzerias because of this. In Porter’s typology he suggest that managers do the following: focus on identifiable subsets of the industry in which it operates or serve the entire market as a whole. Managers should also determine if the business should compete by competitive prices or price it accordingly to the unique craft they serve ( Parnell, 2008).

The rivalry in the competing seller market involves the number of competitors to increase and become more equal in size and capability. Let’s keep in mind that the pizzas industry is dominate by four companies: Pizza hut, Domino’s, Papa John's and Little Caesars. In 2012, the pizza market for Pizza Hut gained the most market share, capturing 14.68% of pizza sales (Barret, 2012). In 2013, Pizza hut earned 11.65% market value, while Domino's earned 7.60% and Papa John's 4.23% (he, Zha& LI, 2013). Little Caesars dropped 1,000 outlet and $600 million in sales.

Payers: We propose marketing to move toward negotiations with payers where possible, but this is not a straightforward task. Chars data (2012) shows Medicare and Medicaid were payers for 79 percent of acute-care patient days in 2012 (not counting swing beds; but our data might be skewed if including nursing home residents). Because hospitals typically are not able to set the terms of CMS’ payments, we propose investigation into additional pilot projects (adding to what Lincoln Hospital has already initiated), including the Community-based Care Transitions Program. Data about the existing payer mix is publicly available (inexpensive, neutral), but doesn’t look at the total market (see next section).

The marketing company offers three advertising services-the TV commercial, the cellular phone application (app), and the Facebook page for their customers. The prices are one million dollars, five hundred thousand dollars, and two hundred fifty thousand dollars respectively. However, if a customer paid for the complete package including three advertising services, the total cost will be one million and five hundred dollars. The customer would pay two hundred fifty thousand bonuses to the company if the App is downloaded five hundred thousand times in the first month. Additionally, the customer must pay 50% of the total price when he signs the contract, and the remaining 50% of the total cost would be divided into two installments. The

The Papa John’s case provides a classic example of a company that entered a highly saturated and mature market and was able to enjoy immense growth and success due to its creative product differentiation strategy.

While these mobile opportunities were enticing, Ms. Bornstein still had to make a business case to Suliteanu. It would be necessary to define key metrics to measure the success of social media, video, and mobile for 2011 and beyond, as part of her long-term strategy for Sephora’s online media spending. To measure its return on investment, Ms. Bornstein reviewed a Third Party Social Media Evaluation Framework (Ofek & Wagonfield, 2012, Exhibit 14).

By 2009, it had 300,000 followers and by September 2010, it had 812,000. Based on the analysis of an
