• The customer is at the center of all Marketing
activities. No matter how good your products
or services are, how cleverly you advertise
them, how competitively you price them, or
how widespread you distribute them, if the
customer does not drive all of your decision
making, it will be a BIG FLOP SHOW

THE CENTRAL POINT
Products must be designed with the
customer in mind. If they do not meet
the needs and wants of customers, there
is little point in continuing. Thus, it is
important that marketers have an
intimate understanding of their
customers.
