SEMESTER

Background, General Knowledge, Scientific Area, Skill Development

The main proposition in marketing theory holds that the marketing mix consists of the 4Ps (Product, Price, Place, Promotion). The product holds specific attributes and can offer both use value and sentimental value to the consumer. For example, a house can address a basic need (housing) but is can also be associated with a sense of security, comfort, luxury, prestige, show-off, economic exploitation, long-term investment, etc. The price must be equivalent to the product, its quality of production and the value contributed to the consumer. The distribution channels (or places) are related to the selection of the proper sales points of products/services and the ideal expansion of sales in terms of geographic coverage. Even when a product is the cheapest and best, it cannot be purchased when not available in the appropriate place and time. The promotion (or promotion and communication plan) includes actions such as advertisement, sales in person and public relationsQ even the most quality, cheapest and accessible product will not be purchased if these features are not communicated to the potential buyer.
