Marketing involves all activities related to getting goods and services to consumers, including planning, pricing, promotion, distribution, and sales. The basic purpose is to satisfy consumer needs and wants by connecting suppliers to end users. Goods can be industrial, involving raw materials, processed, or finished products destined for other businesses or consumers directly. Services are activities performed for others and can target both industrial customers and individual consumers. A target market refers to a specific group of consumers a company focuses its marketing efforts on.
