desire for a product or service. The product or service must have specific benefits that
satisfy the functional or emotional needs. On the other hand, basic needs are food,
clothing, and shelter. We cannot live without them and marketers must be able to
provide them to human population. Food can be processed in different tastes; styles
and menus that shall meet the human craving and satisfaction. Clothing could be
designed into different styles depending on people’s taste and social values. Shelters
are constructed differently depending on the capacity of the buyer to finance his
home. These needs are the marketer’s point of interest for profit.

of human wants. The marketers must continuously improve technological inventions to
sustain customer

orientation and traditional marketing orientation is that while the
former is consumer-focused, the latter is company focused.

concerned with the market or industry in which the company
operates in. Contemporary marketing aims for customers satisfaction

marketing strategies under contemporary marketing are concerned
with the needs of customers.
