This provides an in-depth analysis of effective marketing strategies, using case studies from Snow Brand Megmilk’s “Sakeru Cheese” and Yayoi’s business setup support services.
It explains that successful marketing requires standing in the customer's perspective and outlines a comprehensive process involving defining the target customer (persona), understanding their needs, linguistically defining the product's customer value, and executing a cohesive communication plan. The “Sakeru Cheese” case illustrates how redefining the product as a "healthy snack" led to significant sales growth. Yayoi case demonstrates the power of framing their service around "independence" rather than the more intimidating term "starting a business" to better resonate with their target audience.
Both examples emphasize the importance of consistent execution and clear value messaging tailored to the customer context to drive engagement and sales.
