There are a lot of aspects of marketing that people commonly do not think about as a part of marketing. The reality is that marketing is the actual driver of the business is it is inherently the broadest aspect of the business. There are four main areas that should be included in any marketing plan. They are product price promotion and place. This article is going to briefly discuss each one of these and what they mean.
The first aspect of this mix is the product. Your product or service should fill an actual gap in the economy. In other words it should have an underlying value proposition that it fulfils. For instance an accounting firm has an intrinsic value because not everyone knows accounting. Thus they need the services of an accountant. If your products value is not very large then chances are that you are not going to have a large success in the market and you are going to have to work very hard to push your product in the market.
The second aspect of marketing is price. This can actually be used as a tool rather than a downer. Most people think that they best price is the lowest one. This could not be farther from the truth. Take for instance the BMW. This is a luxury car that is distinguished primarily by its high price. If it had a price that everyone could afford it would lose its luxury status and therefore have to compete with the other everyday cars. By having a high price tag it relegates itself to those who value status symbols and are willing to pay for them.
The third aspect is promotion. This is what most people commonly think of when it comes to marketing. This is commonly thought to be print ads and television commercials. The key to successful promotion is to consider who your target market is a then design an ad that is directed toward them. Advertising in general manner designed to reach as many people as possible is not going to lead to very good results.
The fourth aspect is place. This is essentially how the customer buys the product. If you are a soap manufacturer then it may be perfectly fine to get your product in a grocery store. However, you would not want to buy a car at your grocery store. Think about how the customer would prefer to buy your products or services.
