Marketing-information management (MIM) focuses on getting important information about the customer so better business decisions can be made. It often involves talking to the customer. (Think surveys.) Pricing aims to attract the customer to your product rather than a competitor’s. You must consider what it costs to make and deliver the product, what competitors are charging and what customers are willing to pay. Product/Service management makes the product better (more desirable). The most effective improvements are made after doing MIM. Promotion informs and reminds the customer about the product being sold and persuades the customer to buy from your company. Selling is personalized communication between the company and customer aimed at increasing the customer’s willingness to buy. D. Describe the importance of each marketing function to marketing.
