successful investment ventures is focusing on the product and service of
the business. Before investing, he examines the product portfolio of
companies and analyzes how their product can compete in terms of
price, quality, and promotion. True enough, his companies are known for

MJ is a professional photographer in one of the well-known
photo companies in the Philippines. After five years of working,
he decided to build a studio near his hometown. He came up
with ideas like customizable photo sets and creative
photoshoots that he and his customers decided on. Despite his
passion for these new ideas, customers were not coming to
avail the services from his studio.

He tried to advertise his studio and photography services
intensively. He reached out to some of his friends who have
become social media influencers. They helped popularize his
brand and its services, successfully converting prospects into
customers.
During his two years in the photography business, he has been
profitable enough to buy new camera equipment that is more
expensive than a brand new car.

From Traditional to Digital
A health and wellness company was one of many small and
medium-sized businesses affected by the coronavirus
pandemic.
Prior to economic restrictions, the company used traditional
selling methods. They operated booths at visible areas of
shopping malls where sales agents encouraged passers-by to
try their products.

From Traditional to Digital
When the pandemic forced its mall outlets to close down, the
firm embraced the digitization of its business operations. The
firm trained its employees to manage online stores and
conduct online promotions and live selling. It also set up
distribution hubs and delivery channels, making its products
widely available and accessible to more customers.

From Traditional to Digital
Nowadays, their clients are not just individual consumers but
also organizations, pharmacies, and drug stores that buy in
bulk. The firm’s success in staying afloat proved that the
production and selling concept remains useful when
integrated with contemporary and digital forms of marketing.

Keep in Mind
● Traditional marketing approaches are product-based and product-
focused. Traditional marketing concepts lead companies to focus on
product improvement, production and distribution efficiency, and
promotional efforts.
32
Keep in Mind
● The traditional concepts in marketing include:
○ the production concept, which assumes that consumers choose
widely-available and affordable products;
○ the product concept, which holds that consumers prefer high-
quality products with innovative features; and
○ the selling concept, which states that consumers are more
inclined to buy the intensely promoted products.
33
Keep in Mind
● Although the application of these marketing concepts has driven
many businesses towards success, companies have changed their
approach towards the marketplace. Nowadays, marketing strategies
apply contemporary approaches which focus more on the customer
and their needs.
