Along the way we'll also feel excited,fun and some serious.
By this situation made us like "this is real situation" feel as I can I feel.That's activity at classroom.Then,let's move to next issue in this journal.Which topic is the 4Ps of Marketing.
The term"marketing mix" became familiarized after Neli H.Borden published his 1964 article,The concept of the Marketing Mix.
The Marketing Mix can be divined generally fall into 4 parts;product,price,place (distribution) and promotion in finally.
For description the word product refers to real,material products as well as serious and a company wants to sell.
Second P is price.It refers to that how much are the intended customers willing to pay?Don't make a high price more than the quality of product.Becuase the customers sensitive with the level of product' price.Mean that should fair price as a slogan >> "Be good quality and fair price" That's good for pricing strategy.
Third P is placement (distribution) refers about getting the products to the customer.
That show idea of the marketing process or each other one meaning refer to send products to customers.
And finally part is the promotion strategy.In this term,promotion represents the various viewpoint of marketing communication,that is,the communication of information about the product with the goal of generation apositive customers response.
Or if easily to get this point that tell infoemation about product to customers have knows.
Therefore,the Marketing Mix concept reach the company to control and with competitors and external-internal obstacle environment.
