Marketing… Defined?!?!?!?!
What is Marketing?
Social definition – A societal process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want through creating, offering and freely exchanging products and services of value with others
Management definition – It is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational goals.
Marketing is an art and science

Needs and Wants
Needs are basic human requirements. Real needs Stated needs Unstated needs (assumptions) Delight needs Secret needs
Wants are needs directed to specific objects/services that might satisfy the need.
Hierarchy of Needs
Demand
Want for a specific product backed by an ability to pay.
Marketers should try to shape the wants. Many customers don't know what they want when the product, concept or service is new.
So companies help the customers to learn what they want.
Exchange
Get something (product /service) by offering something in return. Eg. kind (barter) or money (value )
Exchange is a value creating process because it leaves both parties better off (win – win situation)
Transaction
A transaction is an exchange between two things of value on agreed conditions and a time and place of agreement.
To make successful transaction a marketer should understand what each party expects from transaction.

The Marketing Concept
“A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.”
