What is marketing
?" This is a question that many people often ask and there are many ways to define what Marketing is exactly. In simplistic terms and can be summed up in one sentence…
“Marketing is the process of how a business, product or service promotes its key features and benefits to its customers, which ultimately generates sales for the business by satisfying its customers’ needs.”
Marketing is a key component to the success of your entity. You may have a fantastic product or service to offer, but if nobody knows about it or of its existence, then you have limited your business’ capacity to maximise its selling potential. Marketing starts at identifying your business’ customer needs, desires and their satisfaction. It is using different methods to develop a demand for your business and fulfilling your customer’s needs. It includes promotion, selling and the delivery of product or service to people.
There are various ways to market your product or service and it is the right combination and execution of these that make for a successful marketing campaign to deliver positive results.
