Introductory Remarks
Marketing is an all-embracing
activity requiring the participation,
cooperation and coordination of all
major functions in a company to
satisfy customers. Marketing mix is
a combination of marketing tools
that are used to satisfy customers
and company objectives. Consumers
often call the marketing mix "the
offering." Your offer is controlled by
product, price, place (distribution)
and promotion which are often
called “the four P’s” in marketing.
Warm-up Discussion
1 Before you read, work in
pairs and discuss the
following questions.
(1) What’s the role of marketing
department in a company?
(2) What variables do you think
a successful marketing should
consider?
The Marketing Mix
Marketing begins long before a product hits the
shelf ⑴. It is an organizational function and a set of
processes for creating, communicating, and delivering
value to customers and for managing customer
relationships in ways that benefit* the organization and its
stakeholders*. The aim of marketing is to sell products and
services and make profits by satisfying customers ⑵.
Marketing decisions generally fall into the
following four controllable categories:
★ Product
★ Price
★ Place (distribution)
★ Promotion
They are the elements that are often referred to as
the marketing mix that a marketer can use to craft a
marketing plan ⑶.
The term “marketing mix” became popularized
after Neil H. Borden published his 1964 article, The
Concept of the Marketing Mix. Borden began using the
term in his teaching in the late 1940’s after James Culliton
had described the marketing manager as a “mixer of
ingredients”. The ingredients* in Borden’s marketing mix
of manufacturers included product planning, pricing,
branding, channels* of distribution, personal selling,
advertising, promotions, packaging, display, servicing,
physical handling, and fact finding and analysis. E. Jerome
McCarthy later grouped these ingredients into the four
categories that today are known as the four P’s of
marketing, shown below:
These four P’s are the parameters that the
marketing manager can control, subject to the internal and
external constraints* of the marketing environment ⑷. The
goal is to make decisions that center the four P’s on the
customers in the target market in order to create perceived
value and generate a positive response ⑸.
Product
The term product refers to what the business or
nonprofit organization offers to its prospective customers
or clients ⑹. The offering may be tangible* goods, such as
a car, a pen; or intangible goods, such as idea, image and
service. Product decisions therefore include a range of
activities that affect both tangible and intangible factors.
Here are some examples of the product decisions to be
made:
★ Brand name
★ Functionality
★ Styling
★ Quality
★ Safety
★ Packaging
★ Repairs and supports
★ Warranty
★ Accessories and service
Price
Price is the only element of the four P’s of
marketing that involves revenue rather than expense, so its
impact can be dramatic. The potential buyer is not only
affected by the absolute level of the price, thinking that it
is too expensive in relation to what the perceived cost
should be, but also its relationship to competitive prices,
so pricing decisions can be strategic and tactical ⑺. The
overall level of pricing is an important strategic ingredient
in the positioning of a product, while discounts and special
offers are used tactically to improve short-term sales.
Promotion
Promotion represents the various aspects of
marketing communication, that is, the communication of
information about product with the goal of generating a
positive customer response. Marketing communication
includes personal selling, advertising, sales promotions
and public relations.
Place
Place describes how products or services are made
available to the target market ⑻. It includes decisions on
distribution strategy which establish the appropriate
channels through which products are marketed (such as
agents, wholesalers and retailers) ⑼.
Each ingredient crucially affects the others ⑽. The
attributes of a product help determine its price, how it is to
be promoted and how it can be distributed ⑾. Price adds
to the intangible aspects of a product and may be an
important promotional vehicle; pricing levels influence the
channels of distribution available. Promotions draw on
product benefits and pricing strategies and often involve
the channels of distribution ⑿. Place is constrained by
product, price and promotional decisions. “The four P’s”
represents interdependent variables* symbolized by
overlapping circles in the figure ⒀.
