The Impact Of Product Location
Before we start I think it is important that I clarify what we mean by
Marketing as a concept. Basically it is about selling products that
customers want to buy, this is achieved by putting the customer
first. Continuing customer research identifies needs and trends in
customers buying behaviour which we can cater for to attract further
customers. By satisfying the needs of our customers they will become
regular customers and will potentially recommend us to their friends
and families. The way that we meet our customers needs is by getting
the right balance of the “marketing mix” by selling the right product
at the right price in the right place whilst being presented
correctly.
As we advance into the twenty first century there is a stronger focus
on marketing than selling within our supermarkets. The supermarket
retail sector in this country has reached maturity and as a result we
cannot simply open new supermarkets to compete with our rivals.
Instead to compete we must build a loyalty base of existing customers
whilst attempting to attract customers from our competitors. There
has been a noticeable shift from mass marketing to segment marketing.
Our customers are individuals with individual needs. You cannot
simply sell the same product to everyone because people are different
they require different products or at least different versions of the
same product.
To this end the physical identity of our supermarkets is evolving as
the products within them evolve. This has led to diversity in our
display methods allowing us to prioritise and promote certain products
over other products. Simple things like having two columns of aisles
rather than one has doubled the end of aisle space within the store.
By their very nature of being at the end of the aisle they attract a
greater amount of attention from the customer. By observing customers
in our supermarkets it is clear that customer behave in certain ways
and respond to certain stimuli. It is perhaps common sense that after
walking the length of an aisle that you will check out the end of the
aisle as you walk around to head back down the next aisle. It is also
common sense that products displayed at eye level attract more
attention and are more easily found by our customers. This does not
just apply to adults, by placing products that appeal to children at a
level that they can see them it is clear that they are more likely to
ask their parents to buy these goods. It has also been identified
that many customers when searching for products look ahead but also
Johns Hopkins Hospital would use people in their “public wards”, who were predominately of low socioeconomic status, as research material without any permission or knowledge of their participation (Skloot, 2010, p. 30). The main ethical principles that apply in the this scenario of not receiving consent to have personal information and even bodily material used for research are: Integrity (1.04), Rights and Prerogatives of Clients (2.05), Characteristics of Responsible Research (9.02), and Informed Consent (9.03). This dilemma was not handled correctly because doctors during that time were interested in studying cancer cells and believed that it was acceptable to take people’s cells as a form of payment because they were receiving free medical treatment. Henrietta, in particular, was never asked or even told that her healthy and tumorous cells were being extracted during the day of her first cancer treatment (p. 33). Those at stake during this particular issue are the patients in the public wards, including Henrietta, the doctors Richard TeLinde, George Gey, and Howard Jones, the Lacks family, and many other families who do not know their loved ones are being used for science. Although laws were not set in place at the time, the doctors should have been presenting patients with consent forms and fully disclosing all the information pertaining to how they
Skloot creates the correct atmosphere to make the reader feel sympathy for the Lackses throughout this novel. For this novel’s validity, she incorporates different types of statistics, including newspaper articles, personal journal, documents, etc. as shown in the following passage, “the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, […] govern most tissue research” [Skloot 317]. Skloot also interviews Henrietta’s relatives, Johns Hopkins Hospital’s doctors, and other people that have knowledge of Henrietta Lacks that are necessary to write this novel. As the reader slowly reads through this novel, they would feel the sympathy. Therefore, this novel composes passion that Skloot wants to merge into the scientific world and reality.
another line, and another wait. This has to be the most unpleasant part of a
Skloot first heard about Henrietta almost thirty years ago, as she explains that she “was sixteen and sitting in a community college biology class” (8). Although Henrietta’s immediate relatives were hesitant to speak with outsiders, Skloot was very stubborn to let the world know the Lacks family’s story. Not every author would wait years for an interview, yet the content and research in “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” was carefully constructed over nearly a decade. While Skloot’s research is very thorough, however, the accuracy of her sources can sometimes be questionable. A primary source of information that is used throughout the book comes from an old man named Cootie. He is quoted as he mutters “‘I know I got some information on Henrietta in here somewhere,’ … from under the mattress” (Skloot 62). However, referencing Cootie only leaves a minor blemish on Skloot’s otherwise detailed research and does not heavily detract from the content of the
Skloot presents her information from a neutral standpoint where the reader must decide where they stand on the argument. Through several anecdotes, which are encapsulated by chapter titles such as “Illegal, Immoral and Deplorable” (147) and “Who Told You You Could Sell My Spleen?” (227), the questions of how research is conducted and who owns your cells once they are removed from your body are constantly posed.

Often in the darkest time it is good to seek relief in the good of every situation. With the death of a Mother, Daughter, and contributing member in society, it may be hard to try and find any positivity to draw from. With the unfortunate and untimely death of Henrietta, came the opportunity of life to millions of others in society then, now, and for many years to come. The goal of medical research is to put society as a whole in a better place than it was at the day before. The use of HeLa cells in every developed country on the globe has made this objective much more achievable. The Lacks family led the way for the consent form being required for patients undergoing a medical procedure Although, there was no direct benefit to the family, raising many ethical considerations that must be
