that affect making, distributing, and
using goods & services.

Marketing?

works to fully understand how
marketing works
Everyone has wants
• Economic Wants: Unfulfilled desires that
cost money to attain
• Noneconomic Wants: Unfullfilled desires
that do not cost money to attain.

wants.
Producers & Businesses produce
or make available goods &
services to satisfy consumers’
economic needs & wants.
• Goods – Tangible(touch) products
• Services – Intangible(Can’t touch)
Goods & Services Must Have
Utility (usefulness) to Satisfy
Consumers’ Wants & Needs

services through:

available resources.

In a Market Oriented Economcy
Goods & Services are produced
based on consumer demand.
Demand: the amount of goods &
services consumers are willing & able
to buy at a given price.
Value of goods & services are
determined by demand & regulated
by supply & prices in a free
enterprise system
• Supply – The amount or quantity of goods
& services producers are willing to provide
at a given price.
• Price – Value set by the market. Supply &
demand work together to set prices for
goods & services.
Marketing’s function in the Free
Enterprise is to provide a bridge between
producers & consumers so exchange of
goods & services can occur
