Both terms should be explained referring to the marketing strategy:
Push Marketing
Push marketing is a promotional strategy where businesses attempt to take their products to the customers. The term push stems from the idea that marketers are attempting to push their products at consumers. Common sales tactics include trying to sell merchandise directly to customers via company showrooms and negotiating with retailers to sell their products for them, or set up point-of-sale displays. Often, these retailers will receive special sales incentives in exchange for this increased visibility.
Example of Push Marketing
One common example of push marketing can be seen in department stores that sell fragrance lines. The manufacturing brand of the fragrance will often offer sales incentives to the department stores for pushing its products onto customers. This tactic can be especially beneficial for new brands that aren't well-established or for new lines within a given brand that need additional promotion. After all, for many consumers, being introduced to the fragrance at the store is their first experience with the product, and they wouldn't know to ask for it if they didn't know it existed.
Pull Marketing
Pull marketing, on the other hand, takes the opposite approach. The goal of pull marketing is to get the customers to come to you, hence the term pull, where marketers are attempting to pull customers in. Common sales tactics used for pull marketing include mass media promotions, word-of-mouth referrals and advertised sales promotions. From a business perspective, pull marketing attempts to create brand loyalty and keep customers coming back, whereas push marketing is more concerned with short-term sales.
Example of Pull Marketing
You can often recognize pull marketing campaigns by the amount of advertising that's being used. Pull marketing requires lots of advertising dollars to be spent on making brand and products a household name. One example includes the marketing of children's toys. In the first stage, the company advertises the product. Next, the children and parents see the advertisement and want to purchase the toy. As demand increases, retailers begin scrambling trying to stock the product in their stores. All the while, the company has successfully pulled customers to them.
The primary difference between push and pull marketing lies in how consumers are approached. In push marketing, the idea is to promote products by pushing them onto people. For push marketing, consider sales displays at your grocery store. On the other hand, in pull marketing, the idea is to establish a loyal following and draw consumers to the products. Examples are Porsche and Lamborghini, which no longer need to advertise, as consumers come to them.
A push promotional strategy involves taking the product directly to the customer via whatever means, ensuring the customer is aware of your brand at the point of purchase.
"Taking the product to the customer"
A pull strategy involves motivating customers to seek out your brand in an active process.
"Getting the customer to come to you"
The origin of these two terms refers to the supply chain and how the demand for the product is generated.
Push strategy explainedThe term 'push strategy' describes the work a manufacturer of a product needs to perform to get the product to the customer. This may involve setting up distribution channels and persuading middle men and retailers to stock your product. The push technique can work particularly well for lower value items such as fast moving consumer goods (FMCGs), when customers are standing at the shelf ready to drop an item into their baskets and are ready to make their decision on the spot. This term now broadly encompasses most direct promotional techniques such as encouraging retailers to stock your product, designing point of sale materials or even selling face to face. New businesses often adopt a push strategy for their products in order to generate exposure and a retail channel. Once your brand has been established, this can be integrated with a pull strategy.
Pull strategy explained'Pull strategy' refers to the customer actively seeking out your product and retailers placing orders for stock due to direct consumer demand. A pull strategy requires a highly visible brand which can be developed through mass media advertising or similar tactics. If customers want a product, the retailers will stock it - supply and demand in its purest form, and this is the basis of a pull strategy. Create the demand, and the supply channels will almost look after themselves.
Final words
There are marketing strategies in business. The primary difference between push and pull marketing lies in how consumers are approached. In push marketing, the idea is to promote products by pushing them onto people. For push marketing, consider sales displays at your grocery store. On the other hand, in pull marketing, the idea is to establish a loyal following and draw consumers to the products. Examples are Porsche and Lamborghini, which no longer need to advertise, as consumers come to them.
Thank You for the invitation ... I would agree with answers that really covered your question ... Variety of correct info and opinions !
Push and pull strategies are promotional routes to market, either by the product being pushed towards customers or your customers pulling the product through the retail chain towards them
Marketing distinguishes between two kinds of promotional strategies: push and pull. What is a push factor? What is a pull factor? This study note answers these questions and gives you examples of each.
Push factor
A "push" promotional strategy makes use of a company's sales force and trade promotion activities to create consumer demandfor a product: it takes the product to the customer - the customer knows about the product when they buy it.
Producer promotes product wholesalers > wholesalers promote product to retailers > retailers promote product to consumers
A push strategy tries to sell directly to the consumer, bypassing other distribution channels. An example of this would be selling insurance or holidays directly. With this type of strategy, consumer promotions and advertising are the most likely promotional tools.
A good example of push selling is mobile phones where major handset manufacturers, such as Nokia, promote their products via retailers such as Carphone Warehouse. For example, offering subsidies on the handsets to encourage retailers to sell higher volumes.
Direct selling and trade promotions are often the most effective promotional tools for companies such as Nokia.
Pull factorA “pull” selling strategy is one that requires high spending on advertising and consumer promotion to build up consumer demand for a product: it brings the customer to the product - the customer is motivated to buy it.
Consumers ask retailers for product > retailers ask wholesalers for product > wholesalers ask producers for product
A good promotional strategy will combine both push and pull factors.
