exchanges with customers.
Marketing Functions Defined
1. Product/service management: Designing, producing, maintaining, improving, and
obtaining products to meet customer’s wants and needs. For example, redesigning the
iPad2.
2. Pricing: Determining a value to charge for products. It is important to consider what
competitors are charging and the amount customers are willing and able to pay. For
example, when deciding what price to charge for their latest athletic shoe, Nike must take
into consideration the cost of producing, promoting, and distributing the shoe.
3. Marketing information management (Market Research): Gathering information (such
as customer buying habits, prices customers are willing to pay for products, or test
marketing potential new products), analyzing information, and utilizing information for
use in making marketing decisions. For example, Amazon.com sends a questionnaire to
customers who purchased the latest New York Times best sellers.
4. Selling: Determining and responding to customer’s needs and wants through
personalized communication. It is intended to influence purchase decisions and increase
customer satisfaction. For example, at The Limited, Taylor searches for a birthday
present for her sister, when Gwen (a sales associate) asks if she could help her find the
correct size.

customers.
5. Promotion: Communication used to inform, persuade, or remind customers about a
business’s products. The most common form of promotion is advertising. For example,
McDonalds decides to broadcast a 30 second television commercial during the Super
Bowl.
6. Distribution: Transporting, storing, and handling goods from the manufacturer to the
consumer. For example, John Deere lawn equipment is transported to Home Depot by
tractor-trailers.
ALSO KNOWN AS
Channel Management (logistics) is overseeing the distribution process (movement of
product/services from producer to consumer).
7. Financing: Acquiring the money for starting and running a business. Business loans for
upstart money, cash flow issues, or new business ventures.
