Examples of product placement in the following topics:
-
Changes in Placement
- The global marketing mix comprises four main elements: product, price, placement and promotion.
- Although product development, promotional tactics and pricing mechanisms are the most visible during the marketing process, placement is just as important in determining how the product is distributed.
- Placement determines the various channels used to distribute a product across different countries, taking in factors such as competition and how similar brands are being offered to the target market.
- Moreover, placement decisions must also consider the product's positioning in the marketplace.
- Examine the rationale behind product placement from a global marketing perspective

Making Appropriate Changes to Product, Placement, Promotion, and Pricing
- Today, the marketing mix--product, placement, promotion and pricing--must take into account both online and offline buyers; traditional media, and digital media.
- Products and services are meant to satisfy customer wants and needs.
- However, product changes can be prompted by social media activity from stakeholders outside a brand's consumer base.
- Placement or distribution moves products from the producer to the consumer.
- Amazon also allows companies to advertise their products by paying a fee to be listed as featured products.

Product, Placement, Promotion, and Price
- Product, placement, promotion, and price are four elements of the marketing mix crucial to determining a brand's unique selling proposition.
- Product, placement, promotion and price are the four elements of the marketing mix.
- The marketer must also consider the product mix, which includes factors such as product depth and breadth.
- Product breadth, on the other hand, refers to the number of product lines a company offers.
- Product distribution (or placement) is the process of making a product or service accessible for use or consumption by a consumer or business user, using direct means, or using indirect means with intermediaries.

The Global Economy
- The four "P's" of marketing–product, price, placement, and promotion–are affected as a domestic or multinational company adjusts its strategy to become a global company.
- Product: A global company will have to tweak certain elements of its products for different markets.
- Product positioning, including whether the product is high-end, low-cost, or middle ground, compared with competing brands also influences the ultimate profit margin.
- Placement: Product distribution will also be determined by local and global competition, as well as the product's positioning in the marketplace.
- Promotion: After product research, development and production, promotional tactics, such as advertising, are generally the largest line item in a global marketing budget.

SIVA: Solution, Incentive/Information, Value, and Access
- The SIVA Model provides a demand and customer-centric alternative to the well-known four Ps supply side model (product, price, placement, promotion) of marketing management.
- Solution → Product The "Product" in the four Ps model is replaced by "Solution" in order to shift focus to satisfying the consumer needs.
- Access takes into account the ease of buying the product, finding the product, finding information about the product, and several other factors.
- Guitars are not a 1 size suits all product.
- Reconstruct the "Four "Ps" supply side model (product, price, placement and promotion ) to create "SIVA" (solution, information/incentives, value and access), a customer centric alternative

Defining Business Marketing
- Business marketing includes all activities involved in communicating the value of a business's products and services to another business.
- Business marketing is the practice of individuals or organizations (i.e., commercial businesses, governments, and institutions) promoting and selling products and/or services to other organizations.
- These organizations resell or use these products and services to support their operations.
- Companies that act as suppliers or manufacturers may also integrate other business products into their own product offering to improve performance and functionality.
- Like business-to-consumer (B2C) marketing, business-to-business (B2B) marketing, or business marketing, relies on product, price, placement, and promotion to competitively position the product offerings, promote the brand, and efficiently use company resources.
-
Changes in Pricing
- Pricing is the process of determining what a company will receive in exchange for its products.
- Support a product's positioning so that it is consistent with product, promotion and placement
- Pricing can also be affected by the cost of production (locally or internationally), natural resources (product ingredients or components), and the cost of delivery (e.g., the availability of fuel).
- Global marketers must carefully consider how to position their product in global markets, and whether their products are considered high-end, economical or something in-between according to cultural norms and customs.
- Placement, product and promotion work in concert with pricing in the global marketing mix.
-
Global Considerations in Branding and Packaging
- When branding and packaging for international products, careful consideration must be placed on factors such as language, colors, customs, aesthetics and placement.
- In Japan, black and white are colors of mourning and should not be used on a product's package.
- Placement decisions must also consider the product's position in the market place.
- In Canada, all product labels must appear in both official languages: English and French.
- Discuss how language, colors, customs, aesthetics, and placement affect global branding and packaging in products
-
Sampling
- Sampling involves providing a sample of a consumer product to consumers so that they may try said product before committing to a purchase.
- During the product promotion process, sampling involves providing a sample of a consumer product to consumers so that they may try said product before committing to a purchase.
- It is also possible to purchase products in small "trial size" containers.
- While placement and word of mouth impact future purchases, sampling can create an almost immediate impulse purchase.
- Samples are either free handouts, trial sizes, or coupons for consumer products provided to consumers in the hope that they will eventually purchase the product.

Organic Enantiomers
- Enantiomers share the same chemical structure and bonds but differ in the placement of atoms such that they are mirror images of each other.
- They share the same chemical structure and chemical bonds, but differ in the three-dimensional placement of atoms so that they are mirror images, much as a person's left and right hands are.
- Similarly, the D-form of glucose is the main product of photosynthesis and the L-form of the molecule is rarely seen in nature.
