Marketing basics
Any organisation has to define its
‘product’ not as what it produces, but
what they do to satisfy existing and
potential customers’ needs and wants
The essence of marketing is to develop
satisfying exchanges from which both
customers and marketers benefit
(i.e. a ‘win-win’ situation)
Chapter 1

Marketing and the 4 variables
Marketing focuses on
• developing and managing a product that
will satisfy customer needs
• making the right product available in the
right place
• at a price that is acceptable to buyers
This requires communicating information
(promotion) that helps customers
determine whether the product will satisfy
their needs

marketing mix that satisfies a specific
target market

The Product variable
This results from researching the
