The Five Vs of Marketing (Bennett)
Bennett (1997) advanced the case for a new marketing paradigm, driven by the needs of the market rather than the organization. He examined the notion of targeting from the perspective of the buyer, a concept labelled by the author as "buyer disposition" ‐ the process undertaken by buyers when sourcing a product or service.
According to Bennett the disposition of the buyer towards a product or service, or supplier, during the sourcing process can be represented by five criteria, termed the "five Vs": value, viability, volume, variety and virtue.
He proposes that the five Vs can be used in conjunction with the marketing mix to enable a supplier or provider to achieve a more detailed understanding of the buying process, and ultimately of product/service adoption. A proper understanding of buyers' needs and wants, through the eyes of the buyer, will help to generate a stronger and more strategic focus on the achievement of marketing objectives.
