Innovation means ‘something new’ or ‘something different’ that<br />

is not seen or experienced or understood earlier by the customer<br />

/consumer; this could possibly need new knowledge or discovery<br />

and possibly need an invention which is the technological and<br />

engineering aspect of innovations.<br />

Innovation marketing concept<br />

Innovation marketing has been of a considerable interest in recent years. Marketing<br />

innovation can have different forms, such as the success of new products, creative<br />

marketing programs, new and better sales techniques (Suciu, 2011). Innovation marketing is<br />

a new concept that is different from other types of marketing company that deals with<br />

goods and services to the enterprise market penetration or new markets. Shergill &<br />

Nargundkar (2005) state that marketing innovation, as innovation, marketing programs and<br />

marketing methods, including 4 P: product, price, promotion and place. Harms et. al. (2002)<br />

describes the innovation as a new element of the marketing mix, which is new and tangible<br />

benefits to businesses, which, according to Chou (2009), is the most important<br />

differentiation and excellent operation. Marketing innovation is the key when you want to<br />

maintain a competitive advantage and maximize shareholder value. Innovation Marketing<br />

can be understood as a synonym for the word creativity/innovations only. Of course,<br />

executives want their companies to be of a more innovative culture and marketing reflects<br />

this. They allow the employee a certain portion of time to work on projects that are not in<br />

their territory (3M, Google). Some people think, marketing strategy is synonymous with<br />

innovation in marketing. The strategy is creative and considered a qualitative and<br />

have to answer the question which option may create a breakthrough, innovative products<br />

and services, such as the iPhone, iTunes, iPad, companies want to do the same in your<br />

industry. This approach sees innovation marketing, responsible for new opportunities with<br />

new products and services in existing markets or perhaps new markets. From this<br />

perspective, marketing works with R&D throughout the innovation process, through<br />

marketing research. Marketing helps to understand the unmet needs, market segments,<br />

trends and technologies. The second approach understands innovation marketing as a<br />

traditional marketing mix through the application of the product, price, promotion, location<br />

and distribution. Marketing innovation emerged when marketing figured out how to use the<br />

Internet. For example, the Internet has made significant changes in the company's ability to<br />

distribute products; some have become redundant physical distribution points. The Internet<br />

has changed the distribution channel strategy in the company's value chain. Prices may be<br />

dynamic, and auctions have helped consumers and businesses to sell to the highest bidder<br />

or to buy at the lowest price. The Internet provides a new level of transparency, which also<br />

had a significant impact on pricing. More and more natural products are now of digital<br />

content on the Internet. With regard to the promotion of new digital technology appeared<br />

such marketing tools as SEO, PPC. Some believe that innovation is more culture or attitude,<br />

where everyone is encouraged to be creative. Innovation goals and objectives may be the<br />
