Abstract

The object of the study are the socio-economic conditions of cities as the basis of marketing potential. The purpose of the study is to identify the role of socio-economic conditions in revealing the marketing potential of cities. The main methods used for the study are matching, comparison, ranking. Our conclusion is that socio-economic conditions cannot always be perceived as the basis for revealing the marketing potential of a city, which is proved by independent studies of the authors, as well as by the analysis of data obtained in the course of other studies. It was possible to establish that socio-economic conditions do not guarantee permanent population growth for cities: the affordability of a basic set of goods and services, a competitive level of income, the availability of higher education institutions and the saturation with health and cultural facilities are not necessarily highly rated by real and potential local residents. This allows us to speak about the need for marketing efforts to attract consumers of a territorial product (socio-economic conditions of a city), it is not enough to have any advantages - it is important to be able to draw attention to them, to ensure the formation of the necessary attitudes regarding the socio-economic conditions of life in cities. Therefore, we are speaking about the need to take into account the nature of consumer demand for the socio-economic conditions of cities and the use of the appropriate type of marketing. The authors have examined a number of examples of applying city types of marketing, such as conversion, incentive, supportive, synchromarketing, remarketing and demarketing.
