What's important about marketing? PDF Print E-mail
There are many definitions of marketing, some technical, some scientifically based but the at its most simple it is...

an approach to business that seeks to

  • identify
  • anticipate
  • and satisfy customers needs

Looking a bit deeper you can see that it covers all aspects of business activity. Often, the three areas are expanded and broken off into separate operational functions and called different names:-

  • market research
  • advertising
  • product development
  • sales promotion
  • finance
  • distribution
  • customer care
  • the list could go on...

It equally applies whether you are a 'bricks & mortar' or internet based business! All successful businesses undertake it whether they realise it or not.
