Synchromarketing: Managing Demand Time Patterns

The question asks for the marketing task focused on changing the timing of demand using incentives like flexible pricing and promotions.

  • Synchromarketing is specifically designed to manage demand fluctuations. It aims to smooth out demand patterns, increasing it during low periods and managing it during peak times. This directly addresses the need to alter the "time pattern of demand" through various marketing tools.
  • Demarketing aims to reduce overall demand, often temporarily, which is the opposite of altering the time pattern to fill gaps.
  • Gorilla Marketing involves unconventional, low-cost tactics and doesn't primarily focus on managing demand timing.
  • Fleximarketing is not a standard marketing term and doesn't fit the described task.

Therefore, Synchromarketing is the correct approach for managing fluctuating demand over time.
