 Some people believe that marketing is same thing as
‘shopping’.
 Some other people who confuse marketing
with ‘selling’ and feel that marketing activity starts
after a product or service has been produced.
 All these descriptions may be partly correct but
marketing is a much broader concept.
WHAT IS MARKETING
 To move the goods and services from producers to
consumers, number of activities such as product
designing or merchandising, packaging, warehousing,
transportation, branding, selling, advertising and
pricing are required. All these activities are referred
to as marketing activities.
WHAT IS MARKETING
 But marketing is not merely a post-production
activity. It includes many activities that are per
formed even before goods are actually produced and
continue even after the goods have been sold. For
example, activities such as identification of customer
needs, collection of information for developing the
product, designing suitable product package and giving
it a branding are performed before commencement of
the actual production. Similarly, many follow up
activities are required for maintaining good customer
relations for procuring repeat sale.
WHAT IS MARKETING
 The modern marketing concept consists of an integrated
effort on the part of the marketer to identify the
consumer needs and satisfy them through
appropriately designed products and for this task use all
the marketing techniques related to product, selling,
market study, consumer behavior, product designing,
pricing etc.

backed by integrated marketing aimed at generating
customer satisfaction as the key to satisfying
organizational goals”. – Philip Kotler
