Distribution involves getting products from manufacturers to consumers. Financing covers the money needed to start and run a business. Marketing information management involves learning customer preferences through research. Pricing determines what to charge customers in a way that is fair but profitable. Product/service management focuses on developing, maintaining, and improving offerings. Promotion communicates with potential customers.
