THE MARKETING MIX
 Includes four basic strategies
called the 4 P’s or elements of
marketing. A combination of
decisions a business makes in
order to best reach its target
market.
 It is called a Marketing Mix
because the 4 P’s can each be
adjusted to better meet the
needs of the customers and
company

The 4 P’s
 Product - Businesses
must decide which
products to offer
customers.
 Level of quality, features,
branding, packaging,
service, and warranty are
items to decide and
develop for each product.
PRODUCT

services?
The 4 P’s
 Place - Having the
product available at the
right time and location.
 Also known as channel
management/ distribution.

For example, store locations,
website, and catalogs are the
standard for most retailers

customers for a product.

discounts and allowances, and credit terms.
PRICE

 Helping customers view their firm as distinct from
competitors
 Bringing in the amount of income they need or

 Matching the product’s value with what customers
expect to receive
The 4 P’s
 Promotion - Informing and reminding
customers of the products available to them and
persuading them to purchase. Promotional Mix
includes advertising, personal selling, sales
promotion, and publicity.
 These decisions are based on the budget a business
sets for the promotional mix.
