Translate into English

Маркетинг можно определить как человеческую деятельность, направленную на удовлетворение потребностей путем создания и обмена товаров и услуг. В настоящее время концепция маркетинга заменила концепцию продаж. Концепция продаж означает, что покупателей надо убедить в необходимости товаров и услуг, которые им не очень нужны. Концепция маркетинга, напротив, означает, что производитель должен производить продукты, в которых нуждаются покупатели.

К маркетингу можно подходить с точки зрения комплекса маркетинга. Компонентами этого комплекса являются продукт, цена, место, продвижение каналам при правильной поддержке. Опыт компании «Харлей- Девитсон» показывает, что можно добиться больших успехов, если следовать основным принципам маркетинга. Компания, единственный производитель тяжелых мотоциклов, в течение многих лет испытывала серьезные проблемы. Произошло сокращения прибыли, и над компанией нависла угроза банкротства. В своей работе компания ориентировалась на достаточно узкий рынок - молодых людей в «черных кожаных куртках». Для того чтобы выжить, компания должна была использовать основные принципы маркетинга. 1. Выявить группы или сегменты рынка. 2. Определить их потребности. 3. Позиционировать товары должным образом. Компания выявила многочисленную группу людей, родившихся после Второй мировой войны, которым в то время было около 40 лет. Эти люди испытывали кризис, типичный для этого возраста. Компания решила запустить новую модель и позиционировать ее таким образом, чтобы она удовлетворяла потребности данной целевой группы. Новая модель была предназначена для элитных покупателей. Компания добилась больших успехов. Продажи возросли, и прибыль выросла более чем в три раза. Сейчас компания ищет новые рынки в своей стране и за рубежом. Она не пострадала от иностранной конкуренции, как многие автомобильные и электронные фирмы.

Advertising

Advertising is a message to promote a product, a service, or an idea. The purpose of most advertising is to sell products or services. Advertising plays a key role in the competition among businesses for the consumer's money. In many businesses, the volume of sales depends largely on the amount of advertising done.

Manufacturers advertise to persuade people to buy their products. Large firms also use advertising to create a favourable image of their company. The company can advertise in many ways depending on how much it wishes to spend, and the size and type of the target audience. If the company wants to enter the market or launch a new product, it often starts an advertising campaign.

Such campaigns are usually very successful because people learn about new products or services.

When South African Brewery (SAB) started producing beer "Zolotaya bochka" in Russia, it invested lost not only in production, but in advertising the product. The advertising campaign was aggressive, and as a result this brand of beer is among the most popular ones.

o There are different ways of advertising:

o Newspapers

o Television

o Direct mail

o Radio

o Magazines

o Outdoor signs

o Other ways

(Transit advertisements, window displays, point-of-purshase displays, telephone directories and novelties).

Television is the chief medium used by advertisers. In the USA 100 largest advertisers spend on average 75 per cent of their advertising budgets on television. Food companies spend about 80 per cent on television, and candy, snack, and soft drink companies spend about 85 pen cent.

Adverising on TV is often criticised. People don't like it when programmes are interrupted every fifteen minutes. We know that the Duma passed a bill that would forbid running of commercials during television and radio programmes. In Russia TV advertising generates $300 million a year. Of course, advertising revenues are important, but there are international norms which recommend ad breaks every 45 minutes. These days outdoor advertising is popular in Moscow. Many people think it makes the city more beautiful. It is especially widely used by car manufacturers, clothing and telecommunications companies. Such advertising attracts wide audience and is cost- effective.
