Marketing Mix

1. Product: What you sell (goods or services)
2. Price: How much you charge for your product
3. Promotion: How you communicate with your customers (advertising, sales promotion, etc.)
4. Place: How you distribute your product ( channels of distribution)

6. Markets and Customer Segmentation

• Market: Set of actual and potential buyers of a product or service.
• Segmentation: Dividing a market into distinct groups with common needs or behaviors.
• Targeting & Positioning: Selecting segments to serve and designing the offering and image to occupy a clear place in target customers’ minds.
