THE 7 PS
OF
THE MARKETING MIX

2.
No two products will be marketed in exactly the same way.
The marketing mix is a term used to describe the unique
cocktail of marketing channels deployed to market a
particular product.

3.
PRODUCT
The product is the primary – though not the only – component of
the 7 Ps of the marketing mix.
Marketing consultants will consider carefully which features of the
product are most likely to appeal to its target market, as well as
taking into account factors such as the life span of the product,
and its potential for diversification and development.

4.
PRICE
The price that is set for a product not only determines the amount of
profit the business will be able to make from it, but also affects the
value of the product as perceived by the consumer.
Many consumers will use the product's price as a means of judging
its quality, and most will compare the price with that of similar
products before deciding which to purchase.

5.
PROMOTION
This is an umbrella term, covering all the media by which a business
informs customers about its product.
Including advertising, public relations and sales promotion.

6.
PLACE
Products are not only sold in shops.
They may also be sold door-to-door, online,
or in trade fairs or markets.

7.
PACKAGING
This refers not just to the way in which a product is wrapped,
but also to its overall presentation.
Finally, the way in which its physical arrangement is designed
to attract the customer.

8.
POSITIONING
One of the most important of the 7 Ps of the marketing mix.
Positioning refers to a product's status in relation to the wider
market, particularly how it lines up against competitors.

9.
PEOPLE
Knowing the customer is the linchpin of a successful marketing
strategy.
Without accurate customer profiling, none of the other
7 Ps of marketing mix can be correctly channelled,
and the product may well fail to sell.

10.
CONCLUSION
What underpins the 7 Ps of marketing mix is knowledge.
The company that takes time to understand its product, its
market, and most crucially its customers,
is the company that will optimise its marketing mix,
ensuring steady and sustainable growth.
