Discovering and marketing a product idea
All marketing can be categorized into one of three types: responsive, anticipative, or need-shaping.
- The invention of the washing machine is an example of responsive marketing fulfilling a pre-existing, laborious task of washing clothes.
- Perrier, a French company mass-marketed bottled drinking water seeing a growing public awareness of the adverse effects of soda drinks.
- A great example of need-shaping marketing is the Sony Walkman. No one had a need for – and could hardly even imagine – a portable music device until Sony convinced using innovative marketing how Walkman nourishes one's life.
