Price Place Promotion
The Marketing mix is a combination of four basic marketing strategies, known as the 4 P’s – Product, Price,
Place, and Promotion.
To be effective, all Promotion in a marketing plan must focus on the target market.
Price decisions involved the goods, services, or ideas used to satisfy consumer needs. Designing, naming and
packaging a Product are major considerations. Example – Nike decides which styles of shoes to make and how
to package them.
Marketing mix also influences customer’s buying decisions. Factors to consider in pricing a product include the
cost of making the product, competition and the price the consumer is willing to pay. Example – Nike Prices its
running shoes from $70 to well over $100 depending on the target market it is trying to reach.
Place decisions involve making the product available to the customer. Thus, marketers must determine how and
where customers shop. For example, Nike products are sold at a retail store, online or by telephone.
Place decisions involve how the goods or services are communicated to the consumer. Products may use any
combination of advertising, sales promotion, publicity, and personal selling. For example, Nike uses ad is
magazines and commercials during sporting events along with its famous Just Do It slogan and endorsements
from athletes.

Explain the Concept of Target Marketing
Use the words below to complete the following notes outline
target market mass marketing demographics
Satisfying customers is not an easy task. For example, each member of your
family may have a need for a pair of athletic shoes. Would everyone want exactly
the same shoe? Probably not, each type of shoe is designed for a smaller group of
people within the larger market for athletic shoes. This smaller or similar group is
called a target market. A target market is a specific group of consumers that an
organization selects as the focus of its marketing plan.
Mass marketing involves promoting products with one key message that is
directed to everyone.
Demographics are statistics that describe a population in terms of personal
characteristics. There are many characteristics, but some of the most common target
market categories include age, income, occupation, gender, ethnic background and
education levels.
