Why is it important to study Marketing?
A common misconception is that marketing is sim-
ply selling or advertising. It is actually not the case;
marketing also includes: public relations, product
development, pricing, social media, digital strate-
gies, and many more aspects. In order to increase
sales and heighten brand awareness, every type of
business (including hot new start-ups, local stores,
and mature corporate giants) needs to develop a
proper mix of these activities and marketers are
here to help them do that. No matter how great
your service or product is, without marketing ef-
forts, you are more likely to stand still and be ig-
customers.
Knowledge in marketing management also en-
hances your personal job search conversion to
employment success rate. Marketing does not stop
at the product or service level- people can also be
marketed. The marketing principles can and should
be applied to your LinkedIn page, resume, and
cover letter. Marketing is everywhere. In its most
basic form, marketing revolves around satisfying
customer needs and wants. Not surprisingly, em-
ployers also have them. Do not limit your chances
Tips for Studying Marketing: Marketing is a dy-
namic science. It is a good idea to keep up to date
