3 W's of Marketing

-
Good Marketing , is not about just acting on insights as to why are consumers buying your service/product , but also knowing when are they consuming your product /service , or most likely to consume , add to this what are they likely to use/using  your product/service .

Example # 1 Lets elaborate this with a simple example , a number of consumers are currently buying  a telecom sim/connection  , for internet usage --(WHY)  --- they consume loads off  internet , anytime now --(WHEN )--- they use internet  mostly for social media interactions --(WHAT )



Example # 2 Smart TVs where introduced in this decade and if we apply 3 W's here( as to why smart TV came up)... This is how it will look... Why - people Want to have a big screen experience especially for movies TV's and other special shows which were ideally available only on mobile phones connected through internet ..When - they would like to use at home especially during leisure hours ... What - they primarily use to watch Netflix or Amazon video , and catch up plus on the various series plus   beat the social media led peer pressure to be tuned in :) !!


---its thus  important that one understands  the 3 W's fully  to get your product marketing and  product  & market activation plans  perfected for winning in the market .

your thoughts , pls

(PS -thanks Praveen for the Smart TV contribution )

Nice post sir. I agree about the information you had shared above. But people use wifi at home nowadays for the internet which provides better connections then sim.
