THE IMPORTANCE OF MARKETING FOR SALES

 Until relatively recently, companies generally consisted of one part that was in charge of manufacturing the products and another part that was in charge of selling the manufactured products. In most cases, product design, product changes, etc. were designed by the factory in consultation with the sales department, and marketing did not even exist in many companies. In the past, companies focused on manufacturing a product that either stood out for its quality compared to the rest of the products on the market or was more competitive in terms of price without attending to the needs of consumers. This has changed a lot in the last two decades. Companies have gone from having a product-oriented approach; trying to produce products of the highest possible quality, to having a customer-oriented approach; first asking themselves what the customer really wants, how they want it, when they want it, in what quantities, formats... to then be able to design and create a product that sells b...

ALL ABOUT BLACK FRIDAY

Imagen
  We know that this weekend is Black Friday and that we are all going to be ready to make several purchases at a good price. So, let's dedicate today's post to know what we don't know about this “Special Day”.   What is Black Friday? It consists of a retail phenomenon that produces a great rise in the income of businesses.   It has its origin in the United States. It is always celebrated on the last Friday of November, the day after Thanksgiving. It all starts in the 60s, coinciding with a time when U.S. retailers wanted to increase their s ales during the holidays.   The name was coined in the 60s in Philadelphia, United States. It was how the cops described the city's traffic chaos when hordes of suburban shoppers and tourists flooded into the city in advance of the big Army-Navy football game held on that Saturday every year and the increment of sales in the shops the day after Thanksgiving.     The term "Black Friday" spread...

THE IMPORTANCE OF CRM AND THE FAILURE OF THE SALES FORCE

Imagen
Today, we live in a globalised and constantly changing world that operates based on data and its development. New technologies emerge every day, some succeed and some fail, but all technological innovations are all about the same thing; trying to make people's lives more efficient, convenient and practical. As a result of this, we can see that most of the innovations made by large companies are mainly focused on the customer, and this is very important, as they are the ones who, through purchases and different activities, move the economy, providing benefits for those same companies. Fifty years ago, companies focused on making the highest possible quality products, but today the focus is no longer on the product itself but rather on the consumer, analysing the processes and causes behind the purchasing decision process in order to predict the needs of customers and be able to anticipate them, trying to give them a better shopping experience. All of this can be managed thanks to ...

Its latest bet is the sale of second-hand clothes, they have the challenge of extending the life of Zara’s garments, basically as the Vinted application (application used for buying and selling clothes of any brand, firm or type of clothing, without having a specific firm) what Zara wants now is to give customers the ability to sell clothes that no longer use but is in good condition and thus be able to get extra money, or also to be able to buy clothes from Zara at a better price and perhaps to acquire products that you understand are at a higher price and thus at a more affordable price, or even to get iconic garments from other seasons that you could not buy at the time and now you have the possibility of acquiring it and even at a better price than it was at the time.   HOW WILL THEY MANAGE TO ...

THE METAVERSE

Imagen
The future of life as we know it is about to change. From the most normalized things in our daily lives such as social networks, games, activities with acquaintances and friends, shopping; to the functions of companies with their way of communicating and selling their products; even banking is closely related to this new term of the metaverse. A world of new possibilities is opening before our eyes.   WHAT IS THE METAVERSE? To fully understand what the metaverse is, it is necessary to see the whole past of this word, going through the idea and technology it implies. The term metaverse (meta- coming from the Greek meaning "beyond" and -verse from "universe"). It is a concept that appeared in 1992 by Neal Stepheson in his science fiction novel "Snow Crash", in which a fictitious virtual world appeared where people could connect to this collective virtual space. To define it we could say that it is a simulation of a reality, often based on our...
