Marketing
Marketing is the driving force that distinguishes one company from another.
Effective Marketing is essential to the success of any business, practice, product, or service, and is an exciting part of business. Marketing is the science behind informing consumers that your product exists, its features, functions and benefits, and how it will satisfy consumer needs.
Marketing is also the art of communication - understanding human behavior and the stimuli that prompt people to buy products and services as well as crafting messages that speak in the language and context of your consumers.
Marketing begins with understanding the people whose needs you can satisfy with your product or service. It moves on to strategies involving “the marketing mix” of product, price, place and promotion, and it concludes with strategies for customer retention and repeat purchasing.
