RELIGIÃO E MARKETING PESSOAL: UMA ANÁLISE DA IMAGEM PESSOAL DOS BISPOS, PASTORES, OBREIROS E OBREIRAS DA IGREJA UNIVERSAL DO REINO DE DEUS

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a forma de construção da imagem dos bispos, pastores, obreiros e obreiras da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD), por meio da ferramenta de marketing pessoal (MP). A utilização do MP por tais agentes religiosos é uma maneira de melhorar a interação simbólica entre líderes e fiéis e atrair o público para os templos. A IURD foi escolhida para esta análise por usar de vários procedimentos que estão relacionados com as técnicas de MP, no sentido de sofisticar a aparência visual de sua liderança, a fim de representar um discurso de prosperidade disseminado pela instituição. Cremos que é dessa forma que a IURD atrai o público por meio da imagem criada dos líderes, mediante uma aparência visual sofisticada. Na pesquisa dessa Igreja, encontramos que a ferramenta de MP usada pelos seus membros hierárquicos contribui para o crescimento e a consolidação desse empreendimento no mercado religioso. A construção da imagem que estamos tratando é planejada a partir da matriz imagética do líder principal da Igreja Universal, Edir Bezerra Macedo. Por meio da imagem central do bispo Macedo é que a liderança é marcada ou estigmatizada com um perfil estético respaldado por uma noção de sucesso. Utilizamos a pesquisa bibliográfica e observação participante como método de pesquisa e ainda, pesquisamos o jornal Folha Universal e averiguamos alguns programas televisivos exibidos na TV Record, analisando o marketing pessoal da liderança em questão. Assim, verificamos que as interfaces de presentação da boa imagem produzida por meio de técnicas corporais, roupas e acessórios, favorece a representação desses líderes nos seus principais canais de comunicação, templos e televisão.(AU)

Using an experiential business game to stimulate sustainable thinking in marketing education

Recent years have seen a significant increase in the importance of environmental protection and sustainability to consumers, policy makers, and society in general. Reflecting this, most organizations are at least aware of this new agenda and wish to be seen as taking steps to improve behaviors in this regard. However, there appears to be a gap between this evolving agenda and the comparatively low level of knowledge that marketing managers actually have of the environmental impact of their own functional decisions. We suggest that this low knowledge level may be due, in part, to the marketplace focus of foundational marketing educational programs, and we attempt to show how broadening the horizons of marketing courses can help students (i.e., future managers) more deeply understand the environmental consequences of their actions. We demonstrate the use of a novel business game, based on the Life Cycle Assessment method, as the foundational cornerstone for the development of a broad understanding of the environmental impact of marketing decisions and actions for the entire life cycle of a product—from raw material extraction to ultimate disposal. The results of an empirical study show that this approach increases students’ appreciation for, and understanding of, these fundamental environmental sustainability concepts.

A lojalitásprogramok menedzselése (Managing of loyalty programs)

A lojalitásprogramok egyre népszerűbbek hazánkban is, ahogy a növekedési lehetőségek bezárultak, és a menedzserek figyelme a vevők és a piaci pozíciók megtartása felé fordult. A közelmúltban azonban számos nemzetközi példa mutatja, hogy egy ilyen program lehet sikertelen is, amely veszteséget termel, így vagy kivezetésre kényszerül, vagy a vállalat kénytelen átszabni. Tudatos tervezés és reális üzleti modell nélkül tehát nem feltétlenül térül meg az akár milliárdos nagyságrendű befektetés. Jelen cikk során a szerző kísérletet tett arra, hogy összegyűjtse azokat a döntési pontokat, amelyek hatással lehetnek a programok sikerére, és bemutassa a lehetséges választási alternatívák előnyeit, hátrányait. Konklúzióként három olyan elvet emelt ki, amelyek meghatározóak lehetnek. Eszerint a programoknak a vállalati stratégiába és folyamatokba történő integrációja, a megfelelő megtérülési indikátorok felállítása és azok szisztematikus nyomon követése, valamint a program megkülönböztető, többnyire emocionális és élményszerű jellege, amely kiemelkedő szerepet játszhat az eredményesség szempontjából. _____ As the opportunity of market growth seemed to be limited and managers started to pay more attention to customer retention and market defence, loyalty programs became more and more popular marketing tool in Hungary. Many international cases proved, however, that the implementation of this activity can also lead to failure realizing considerable losses and by necessity companies can end up or reposition the program. Without a deliberate design and realistic business model it is not easy to guarantee the return of investment that can be even billion in size. In the current article the author attempts to collect all the relevant issues that can have effect on the success of loyalty programs and determine the consequences of potential options. As a conclusion, the author emphasized three critical principles. The integration of loyalty programs into the company’s strategy and processes, the appropriate measure of returns with systematic tracking and the unique, mostly emotional and entertaining characteristics of the program can be crucial.

Visitor Relationship Management (VRM) - Repeat Visitation Opportunities for Destination Marketing Organisations

In competitive tourism markets the consumer-traveller is spoilt by choice of available destinations. Successfully differentiating a destination and getting noticed at decision time is arguably the focus of activities by destination marketing organisations (DMOs). In pursuit of differentiation, three emergent themes in the marketing literature during the past decade have been branding, integrated marketing communications (IMC), and customer relationship management (CRM) a fundamental goal of each being stimulating customer loyalty. However there has been little attention given to destination loyalty in the tourism literature. The purpose of this paper is to report an exploratory investigation of visitor relationship management (VRM) by DMOs. Based on interviews with the management of 11 regional tourism organisations (RTO) in Queensland, Australia, the opportunities for, and immediate challenges of, VRM are discussed. While each RTO recognised the potential for VRM, none had yet been able to develop a formal approach to engage in meaningful dialogue with previous visitors from their largest market.
