NOT JUST THESE

The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sells itself.

- Peter Drucker

Marketing is not what you do to realise the goals of Corporate Strategy.

Marketing IS Corporate Strategy.

Brands should not decide corporate goals and then ask marketers to achieve them. Marketing should be involved in designing corporate strategy and the brand’s goals.

Marketing is not Sales. While Sales end with customer’s purchase,

Marketing still continues.

Marketing is the beginning and end of customer relationship cycle where as sales is just a season in the year. It comprises everything – from research to customer service.

Marketing encompasses everything a business does in its totality. Marketing is everything — from the inception of an idea to product development…and more

Everything starts with understanding your customer’s needs.

Marketing is fun

The real essence of marketing is empathizing with customers. when you feel marketing as a chore, you will not like it. When you enjoy it, it will be a breeze and you will be successful.
