Marketing = the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing,
promotion and distributions ofideas, goods and services to create and exchange
VALUE, and satisfy individual and organizational objectives.
The marketer has a number of tools to reach the objectives and goals: the
instruments of the marketing mix.
Usually when we talk about marketing, we talk about the 4 P’s. Now we have to talk
about the 4C’s. 4 P’s are inside out. 4 C’s are defined of the point of view of the
customer. Basically they are the same set of tools. This course is about the 4th one: communication, promotion.
It is the most visible aspect of marketing. A product is only interesting when it meets a (potential) customer need!
