What is Marketing? • Marketing is a process that has different meanings for different people: • Some may consider marketing as merely a TOOL to improve sales, because their goal is to deplete product surplus. • For others, marketing may be viewed as nothing more than PLEASANT WORDS designed to attract audiences. • It may also be defined as a means to identifying Latent demands.
