  1. The Marketing Mix

  2. The Marketing Mix – The 4 Ps

  3. What is it? • The tools available to a business to gain the reaction it is seeking from its target market in relation to its marketing objectives. • The marketing mix are controllable variables.

  4. PRICE • How much does it cost to design, produce, and distribute the product? • Pricing is difficult and must reflect the supply and demand relationship. • Pricing a product too high or too low could mean a loss of sales for the organization. • Marginal Cost Pricing, but not dumping

  5. PRICE • Pricing should take into account the following factors: • production and marketing costs • competition • company objectives • proposed positioning strategies • target group and willingness to pay • all costs that are specific to exporting or importing (shipping, letters of credit, freight forwards, leads, middlemen, etc.)

  6. PRODUCT • When an organization introduces a product into a market they must ask themselves a number of questions. • Who is the product aimed at? • What benefit will they expect? • How do they plan to position the product within the market? • How will the product be differentiated from its competitors? • What are the accessories? • How will the product be packaged?

  7. PLACE • The means by which products and services get from producer to consumer and where they can be accessed by the consumer • Market Channel • Shipping • Distribution • Retail

  8. PROMOTION • Strategies to make the consumer aware of the existence of a product or service • Strategies to differentiate the product • NOT just advertising • Social Media, Trade Shows, Leads, PR, Government Relations, Word-of-Mouth, Displays, Free Services or Product, etc.

  9. EXAMPLE 4 Ps – Stella Artois • Price is relatively high compared to other brands, suggesting it is not as important in the mix whereas the product itself is important - it relies on a reputation of quality to justify the higher price. • Place is vital - the more places it is available, the higher sales are likely to be. The combination of bottles, cans, draught, etc. means it has a wider availability. This suggests, with the increased methods of selling recently introduced, that process is becoming more important. • Promotion is high profile - using 'upmarket' events such as the summer tennis championships, sophisticated adverts highlighting its quality - emphasized by the phrase 'reassuringly expensive'. • People and physical environment play little part in the overall marketing mix of the product.
