5 P’s • The 5 P’s are: • Product • Place • Price • Promotion • People
Product • First, marketing is used to find out if there is a demand for a product. • Then marketing predicts how to make the product appeal to the consumers. • Packaging is a major part of marketing. It includes the design, color, size, and brand name of a product
Place • Marketers have to decide how and where customers will buy their goods and services. • For example: A company is more likely to sell snowshoes in Maine than in Texas because of the snowy weather in Maine.
Place • There are three types of distribution • Channel distribution- is a pathway to direct products to consumers • Direct distribution- occurs when goods or services are sold from the producer directly to the consumer • Indirect distribution- involves one or more intermediaries.
Price • To determine the price of a product, marketers consider these three things: • How much are customers willing to pay? • Is the price competitive with other products? • Can the company make a profit? In order for the company to make a profit, they must first reach the ‘break-even point.’ This is the point at which the total revenue, or sales, equal the total costs and expenses.
Promotion • Promotion involves making the customers aware of the product. • The most familiar form of promotion is advertising.
People • The people is your target market • Target market- is the people, or group of people, that you are trying to reach with the other 4 P’s The people are who you, as a marketer, try to sell your product to.
