Type marketing into a search engine and see how many definitions there are…..

• ‘The right product, in the right place, at the right time, at the right price’ (Dennis Adcock, Al Halborg, Caroline Ross, Marketing Principles and Practice)
• a ‘management process that identifies, anticipates and satisfies customer requirements profitably’ (Chartered Institute of Marketing)
• ‘meeting the changing needs of the customer’(Adrian Palmer, The Principles of Marketing, Oxford University Press)

We say it’s simple.

How?

There are five principles.

1. Define your market. Then learn all there is know about it. Constantly review those findings, and make sure they’re still true.
2. Know the benefits of your product and services to your market.
3. Advertise and promote your products and services to your market.
4. Communicate and educate – teach your market about your product.
5. Capture your customers. Make them yours. Keep them coming back.

Marketing is much broader than selling. It’s not a specialised activity. It encompasses the whole business. It’s the entire business seen from the customer’s point of view. It’s about satisfying what they want and need. Every part of your company needs to think about it.
