(2) The rural market has large and scattered populations with low standards of living but also offers market growth and less competition. (3) Effective rural marketing considers the dynamic rural environment and factors like demographics, infrastructure, and traditions. (4) The "4 A's" of rural marketing are acceptability, availability, affordability, and awareness. Companies tailor products, pricing, distribution, and promotion strategies for rural customers.
