What is Marketing?
9
4 Ps of Marketing
Product, price, place, and promotion are the Four Ps of marketing.
The Four Ps collectively make up the essential mix a company
needs to market a product or service. Neil Borden popularized the
idea of the marketing mix and the concept of the Four Ps in the
1950s.
PRODUCT
Product refers to an item or items the business plans to offer to
customers. The product should seek to fulfill an absence in the
market, or fulfill consumer demand for a greater amount of a
product already available. Before they can prepare an appropriate
campaign, marketers need to understand what product is being sold,
how it stands out from its competitors, whether the product can also
be paired with a secondary product or product line, and whether
there are substitute products in the market.
PRICE
Price refers to how much the company will sell the product for.
When establishing a price, companies must consider the unit cost
price, marketing costs, and distribution expenses. Companies must
also consider the price of competing products in the marketplace
and whether their proposed price point is sufficient to represent a
reasonable alternative for consumers.
10
PLACE
This refers to how the product gets to the customer; the distribution
channels and intermediaries such as wholesalers and retailers who
enable customers to access products or services in a convenient
manner. This third P has also sometimes been
called Place or Placement, referring to the channel by which a
product or service is sold (e.g. online vs. retail), which geographic
region or industry, to which segment (young adults, families,
business people), etc. also referring to how the environment in
which the product is sold in can affect sales.
PROMOTION
Promotion, the fourth P, is the integrated marketing
communications campaign. Promotion includes a variety of
activities such as advertising, selling, sales promotions, public
relations, direct marketing etc. This fourth P is focused on providing
a message to get a response from consumers. The message is
designed to persuade or tell a story to create awareness.
11
Marketing Orientation
Marketing orientation is the business approach that dictates all the
processes within that organization. It outlines how the company’s
core offering is presented to its users and how the marketing teams
are empowered.
Market orientation is more of an approach to product design rather
than promotion. It means that the priority is to analyze the target
audience and determine their needs instead of undertaking any
promotional or sales activity. The needs are kept in mind while
developing and upgrading the product offering.
Production orientation
Product orientation
Selling orientation
Societal orientation
Market orientation
12
PRODUCT ORIENTATION - The Production Orientation holds
that consumer will favour products that are available and highly
affordable. Therefore, the management should focus on improving
production and distribution efficiency. This concept is one of the
oldest orientation that guides seller.
13
MARKET ORIENTATION - A market orientated organisation
looks at the market and its target audience first, before any
production or sales activities takes place, to learn what potential
customers want from organisations. The product or service offering
is therefore created with the customer in mind, resulting in a true
customer-first approach.
14
Consumer Behaviour
Consumer behaviour is the study of how individual customers,
groups or organizations select, buy, use, and dispose ideas, goods,
and services to satisfy their needs and wants. It refers to the actions
of the consumers in the marketplace and the underlying motives for
those actions. Marketers expect that by understanding what causes
the consumers to buy particular goods and services, they will be
able to determine—which products are needed in the marketplace,
which are obsolete, and how best to present the goods to the
consumers.
Consumer behaviour is the study of individuals, groups, or
organizations and all the activities associated with
the purchase, use and disposal of goods and services, and how
the consumer's emotions, attitudes and preferences affect buying
behaviour.
Consumer behaviour is the study of consumers and the processes
they use to choose, use (consume), and dispose of products and
services, including consumers’ emotional, mental, and behavioural
responses. Consumer behaviour incorporates ideas from several
sciences including psychology, biology, chemistry, and economics.

powerful mobile operating system on the earth.
