What Is Marketing?
Summary:
Many people mistakenly equate marketing solely with selling or advertising, often conjuring up stereotypes of pushy salespeople or slick ad executives. However, marketing is much more than just these facets.Marketing is a comprehensive discipline focused on meeting customer needs and ensuring value in return. It involves a variety of activities:
- Identifying potential customer groups or markets
- Targeting preferred customer segments
- Understanding customer needs and developing products or services to meet them
- Evaluating how customers prefer to use these products or services
- Analyzing competitors
- Determining pricing strategies
- Identifying how target markets access products
- Creating a unique value proposition to attract customers
- Establishing a strong brand identity
Marketing strategies include advertising, public relations, sales, and customer service. Dr. Philip Kotler famously encapsulated these strategies in the 4Ps:
- Product: Creating what customers want
- Place: Providing it through preferred channels
- Promotion: Raising awareness
- Price: Offering it at an acceptable price point
Ultimately, marketing emphasizes not losing sight of the fundamentals: focusing on customer needs, responsibly meeting those needs over time, and ensuring reasonable profits.
Marketing is a philosophy and mindset centering on customer focus that must permeate the entire organization. Achieving this is often challenging, but it’s essential for success.
