What is It
Marketing Mix is a set of controllable and connected variables that a company gather
to satisfy a customer better than its competitor. It is also known as the “Ps” in marketing.
Originally, there were only 4Ps but the model has been continually modified until it became 7P’s.
The original 4 P’s stands for product, place, price and promotion. Eventually, three elements
have been added, namely: people, packaging and positioning to comprise the 7 P’s.
1. PRODUCT
Marketing strategy typically starts with the product. Marketers can’t plan a distribution
system or set a price if they don’t know exactly what the product will be offered to the market.
Product refers to any goods or services that are produced to meet the consumers’ wants,
tastes and preferences. An example of goods includes tires, MP3 players, clothing and etc.
Goods can be categorized into business goods or consumer goods. A buyer of consumer goods
may not have thorough knowledge of the goods he buys and uses. An example of services
includes hair salons and accounting firms. Services can be divided into consumer services,
such as hair styling or professional services, such as engineering and accounting.
2. PLACE
Place represents the location where the buyer and seller exchange goods or services.
It is also called as the distribution channel. It can include any physical store as well as virtual
stores or online shops on the Internet.
6
STAGES OF DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL
Channel 1 contains two stages between producer and consumer - a wholesaler and a retailer. A
wholesaler typically buys and stores large quantities of several producers' goods and then
breaks into bulk deliveries to supply retailers with smaller quantities. For small retailers with
limited order quantities, the use of wholesalers makes economic sense.
Channel 2 contains one intermediary. In consumer markets, this is typically a retailer. A
retailer is a company that buys products from a manufacturer or wholesaler and sells them to end
users or customers. In a sense, a retailer is an intermediary or middleman that customers use to
get products from the manufacturers.
Channel 3 is called a "direct-marketing" channel, since it has no intermediary levels. In this
case the manufacturer sells directly to customers.
3. PRICE
The price is a serious component of the marketing mix. What do you think is the
meaning of a Price?
In the narrowest sense, price is the value of money in exchange for a product or service.
Generally speaking, the price is the amount or value that a customer gives up to enjoy the
benefits of having or using a product or service. One example of a pricing strategy is the
penetration pricing. It is when the price charged for products and services is set artificially low
in order to gain market share. Once this is attained, the price can be higher than before. For
example, if you are going to open a Beauty Salon, you need to set your prices lower than
those of your competitors so that you can penetrate the market. If you already have a good
number of market share then you can slowly increase your price.

4. PROMOTION
Promotion refers to the complete set of activities, which communicate the product,
brand or service to the user. The idea is to attract people to buy your product over others.
Advertising, Personal Selling, Sales Promotion, Direct Marketing, and social media are
examples of promotion.
5. PEOPLE
Your team, a staff that makes it happen for you, your audience, and your advertisers
are the people in marketing. This consists of each person who is involved in the product or
service whether directly or indirectly.
People are the ultimate marketing strategy. They sell and push the product. People are
one of the most important elements of the marketing mix today. This is because of the
remarkable rise of the services industry. Products are being sold through retail channels today.
If the retail channels are not handled with the right people, the product will not be sold. Services
must be first class nowadays. The people rendering the service must be competent and skilled
enough so that that the clients will patronize your service.
Therefore, the right people are essential in marketing mix in the current marketing
scenario.
6. PACKAGING
Packaging is a silent hero in the marketing world. Packaging refers to the outside
appearance of a product and how it is presented to the customers. The best packaging should be
attractive enough and cost efficient for the customers. Packaging is highly functional. It is for
protection, containment, information, utility of use and promotion.
7. POSITIONING
When a company presents a product or service in a way that is different from the
competitors, they are said to be “positioning” it. Positioning refers to a process used by
marketers to create an image in the minds of a target market.
Solid positioning will allow a single product to attract different customers for not the
same reasons. For example, two people are interested in buying a phone; one wants a phone
that is cheaper in price and fashionable while the other buyer is looking for a phone that is
durable and has longer battery life and yet they buy the same exact phone.

LESSON
2 Develop a Brand Name
Brand Name is a name, symbol, or other feature that distinguishes a seller's goods or
services in the marketplace. Your brand is one of your greatest assets because your brand is
your customers' over-all experience of your business. Brand strategy is a long-term design for
the development of a popular brand in order to achieve the goals and objectives. A well-defined
brand strategy shakes all parts of a business and is directly linked to customer needs, wants,
emotions, and competitive surroundings
Experts believe that a good brand can result in better loyalty for its customers, a better
corporate image and a more relevant identity.
1. Purpose
"Every brand makes a promise. But in a market in which customer confidence is little
and budgetary observance is great, it’s not just making a promise that separates one brand from
another, but having a significant purpose," (Allen Adamson).
How can you define your business' purpose? According to Business Strategy
Insider, purpose can be viewed in two ways:
6. Loyalty
Loyalty is an important part of brand strategy. At the end of the day, the emphasis on a
positive relationship between you and your existing customers sets the tone for what potential
customers can expect from doing business with you.
7. Competitive Awareness
Do not be frightened of competition. Take it as a challenge to improve your branding
strategy and craft a better value in your brand.

What I Have Learned
Marketing mix constitutes of the 7P’s in case of products – product, price, place and
promotion. In case of services, it constitutes of 3 more P’s – people, packaging and positioning.
All P's should be compatible in marketing mix. The price is compatible with the
product's placement. The product must be consistent with the promotion. In general, all P’s are
connected intrinsically.
As a result, when you make a marketing mix, it becomes a chain of strong bonds. Then
these connections will lead you to lengthen the chain. Whenever you plan to add or change
existing features, you need to see the general image which helps create a fresh product in
marketing mix.
