General Marketing Thoughts

Marketing in General

Since the first enterprises on earth were established thousands of years ago, marketing has been an important part of business. Thousands of books dedicated to the subject have been written. With the advent of the Internet, information about marketing is now readily available in a multitude of formats: websites, streaming videos, and online, college style courses. The Internet has also expanded the scope of marketing as well. Whether you search out print or electronic forms of marketing information, you will quickly discover that marketing is defined in a myriad of ways.

A Definition of Marketing?

Marketing is a fluid concept, always changing and adapting. Because of this, there really isn't one singular definition that holds true across the board except for this:


Whatever definition is used should always have an orientation that focuses on the
key to marketing success - customers.


Marketing always consists of strategies and tactics for the use in identifying, creating and maintaining satisfied customers. This ultimately results in value for both the customer and the marketer. When it's all boiled down, marketing is the process of creating or directing an organization in the successful selling of a product or service that people not only desire, but are willing to purchase.
