Alternatives for product use



In the marketing business, marketers have to always take into consideration the different factors that differentiate a public from another. During today’s class we learnt that advertisement is planned depending on the loyalty and the user rate of the target market. Indeed, medium users have to be encouraged, as lights users must be convinced to use more. For example, the Kraft Company with the Philadelphia cream cheese product developed some strategies in order to make light users more loyal to the product. They did so by proposing other ways to use the product. For instance, Kraft proposes on its website and on the packaging of the product itself some easy recipes made with the Philly Cooking Cream.  By doing so, the light users will be more likely to use the product on a regular bases. The goal is to include the product in the everyday life of the light users so they start to use it more.



Knorr does the same with its soup cans. Indeed, they are some recipes on the can and on their website so that users can start using the product not only to cook some soup but plenty other meals. According to me, it is a good way to encourage, mostly the medium and lights users, to consume the products without concentrating all the energy on adds and promotions.
