The Marketing Mix is one way at looking at an organisation's marketing activities. It is like a snap shot (foto istantanea) of what the company is doing at this time.
The Marketing Mix is made up of 4 parts, which are known as the 4 P’s.When we looked at the definition of marketing these 4 P’s came up as 4 key words. Can you remember what they were?
Although each of these factors are important individually, it is the way in which they are mixed which is crucial to an organisation’s success.
For example a company might have some excellent products on offer but the price might be too high or the promotion is all wrong and customers don’t know about it.
A company needs to ensure that it has a strong marketing mix, this means that the company will; Provide a product that the customer wants Make sure that the customer can buy the product Charges a price that the customer will want to pay Promotes it effectively so that the customer knows about it

When you look at the Product P you need to look at a number of factors
Product and service features The Brand Name After sales service Product Life Cycle
PRODUCT & SERVICE FEATURES
When we look at this part of product we need to break down everything that the organisation offers its customers. For example the main product of a football stadium is the match itself, however the others goods and services that are also on offer must be mentioned.
Can you name some?
THE BRAND NAME
The brand name is the name given to a particular company to distinguish it from other similar companies.
Brand names make companies stand out. There are some very important brand names in leisure and tourism. What brand names come into your head when you think of the following types of companies?

LogosMany organisations combine their brand names with logos that make the company instantly recognisable. A logo is a symbol that helps identify an organisation. The most famous logo of all is for McDonalds, The Golden Arches are well known all over the words and they symbolise the fast food chain.Can you think of a logo for a company that you use? Draw it!

AFTER SALES SERVICE

Explain your answers!
It is important to remember that when a customer buys a leisure and tourism product the buying experience does not end there. Many customers require additional after sales service.
Can you think of some leisure and tourism products that you might buy when the after sales service is important?
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE
Some products and services may be very popular and sell well for a while. Eventually, however, they will lose their popularity and sales will start to fall.
Think of Robbie Williams, when he first launched himself as a sole artist his first two releases did not do so well, then he releases a number of hits now his popularity and record sales are not as high.
The Product Life Cycle can best be shown as a graph.
