WHAT IS MARKETING
“The Marketing mix is the combination of the product, its price, The methods to promote it and the ways to make the product
available to the customer.”
The Marketing mix is often called the 4Ps: The components
The concept is simple. Think about another common mix - a cake mix. All cakes contain eggs, milk, flour, and sugar. However, you can alter the final cake by altering the amounts of mix elements contained in it. So for a sweet cake add more sugar!
BUT IN SIMPLE WORDS
It is the same with the marketing mix.
“The offer you make to your customer can be altered by varying the mix elements.”
