Definitions: • Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. • Marketing is the process of communicating the value of a product or service to customers or prospects, for the purpose of selling that product or service.
Your Region & Marketing • Product/Service: Quality Youth Soccer Program • Customers: Players, Parents, Other Volunteers, our Community at large • Prospects: Families (w/kids) not in our program now • What We Sell: A fun family experience that enriches children’s lives
Why It Matters: • See the AYSO world through the customer’s eyes • T or F: Happy customers are better to have than unhappy ones. • Keeping current customers vs. finding new ones • Volunteer recruitment
