The Marketing Mix
Marketing can be broken down into 4 unique areas (McCarthy, 1960). A marketing management process stays true to managing each of these important areas so that your marketing is working towards your strategic goals. Here is a breakdown of the marketing mix.
Product
This refers to the actual product or service you are selling. It is defined in terms of what it does for your customer. How does your product help people achieve obstacles in their life? Why should people buy your product? How will it improve their life? When customers actually use your product, what is the experience like before during and after? This is what is examined when we look at the product element of the marketing mix.
Price
Refers to the price you are going to charge for the product including discounts. Do you charge a discounted price in order to quickly build market share or do you offer a premium price for a more prestigious experience? It is important to be strategic about the way you price your products/services as this a major determinant of why people will choose your product.
Place
Where are you going to sell your product? Are you going to sell directly from your own company or through a retailer, wholesales or via a website? The place or distribution is central to how people purchase your product and in many ways can guide the other areas of the marketing mix.
Promotion
Promotion is the method used to build awareness and capture inquiries of your product to your end customer or distributors. Promotion includes every aspect from creative communications in the form of advertisements, social media marketing, PR and your website (just to name a few). It can also include personal selling.
