METHODS
MARKETING MIX
 PRODUCT
The business must have a product that customers want,
and for which they are prepared to pay for. The business
may want to emphasise that the product is of a high
quality, that it had particular design features, that it
offers value for money, or perhaps that it will improve
the consumers own image. Most importantly the
business must make a profit – selling price must cover
the cost of producing the product.
 PRICE
The business needs to know how much the
customer is prepared to pay for the product,
and what competitors charge. The price
must also be one that enables the business
to make a profit – will the price charged
cover costs?
