Marketing mix. Product: A product is not thought of as a physical good but rather as the source of value that will be provided to customers. Easy availability, installation and repair services, point of sale equity, priming and pre-purchase education offered by sales staff, physical product, word-of-mouth recommendations, quality assuring brand name, etc. are just a few ways that GE Healthcare can provides value to it’s customers. Place: Distribution and marketing channels serve a variety of functions. Few of which are: ensuring the quality of the products, offering a wide range of products using the product line's breadth, length, and depth, allowing for product customization at the point of sale, making the products easily accessible to end users, logistics, and after-sales services. All of these increase the GE Healthcare’s value proposition..
Marketing mix. Promotion: It is a combination of the numerous promotion techniques at GE Healthcare's disposal. They are: public relations, direct marketing, personal selling, sales promotion, and advertising Pricing: Pricing is significantly influenced by the other 3Ps of marketing—product, location, and promotion. The highest price a consumer is prepared to pay for a GE Healthcare product in the existing competitive environment is known as conceptually perceived value.
Budget Schedule. 2.5-fold rise in profit since 1997 GE Healthcare has had an overall trend of revenue growth through 2008 till 2021 17.72 billion U.S. dollars in sales in 2021 which is a high rise compared to 2009, when GE Healthcare's revenues were only 16 billion U.S. dollars (Steward, 2022)..
Conclusion. GE Healthcare already has a global orientation and a large customer base. The success of GE Healthcare lies at how best it chooses its business focus. Too much diversification and provision of a wide variety of products > lose of business focus Few Asian and African markets are still virgin to the company. Therefore there’s a need to identify and exploit these business markets.
