MARKETING STRATEGIES
Buying, selling, market research, transportation, storage, advertising  – these are all parts of the complex area of business known as marketing. In simple terms, marketing means the movement of goods and services from a manufacturer to a customer in order to satisfy the customer and to achieve the company’s objectives.
Marketing can be divided into four main elements that are known as the four P’s : product, price, placement and promotion.
The marketing strategies of determining product, price, placement and promotion are not planned in isolation.
The product element of marketing refers to the good or service that a company wants to sell. Next a company considers the price to charge for its product. There are three pricing options the company may take: above; with or below the prices that its competitors are charging.
The third element of the marketing process – placement – involves getting the product to the customer. This takes place through the channels of distribution. A common channel of distribution is: manufacturer – wholesaler – retailer – customer.
Wholesalers generally sell large quantities of a product to retailers, and retailers usually sell smaller quantities to customers.
Finally, communication about the product that takes place between a buyer and a seller is known as promotion. There are two major ways of promotion: 1) through personnel selling, as in a department store; 2) and through advertising, as in a newspaper or magazine etc.
