Definition of MarketingMarketing is:

A Process of Planning and Doing…The Conception (Product), the Pricing, The

Promotion and the Distribution (Place)…Of an Idea, Good or Service…To create and Exchange..To satisfy Individual or Organizational

have needs that each other can fulfil.A Desire, and an Ability to satisfy these

needs. (A Market)A way to Communicate this desire to the

other party.Something of value to Exchange.

Eras of MarketingProduction Era - 1800’s - 1920’s - Customers

would buy all that was produced because they simply could not buy these newly-invented items before. The Focus in this era was on developing the production process (e.g. Assembly lines), not on satisfying customer needs. Henry Ford’s philosophy of “you can have any colour you want; provided its black” was the prevailing tone of manufacturers. Customers had little choice but accept this.

Eras of Marketing cont...Sales era -- 1930’s - 1960’s - During this time

the world went through a depression and a war. Production capacity was well developed however the buying public had less money to buy these new products and competition among specific manufactures was stiff. The focus was on the hard sell. “We’ve built it, so you better buy it” was the prevailing philosophy. Again the interests the customer were secondary compared to the interests of manufacturers.
