EXTENDED MARKETING MIX

INTRODUCTION



A market is a group of existing and potential buyers or users of a product or service. Marketing is all about identifying a need, producing a product or service to meet that need, and then providing that service or product to people as efficiently as possible.



Marketing involves researching, promoting, selling, and



distributing your products or services.

MARKETING MIX:DEFINITION 





The 'marketing mix' is a set of controllable, tactical marketing tools that work together to achieve company's objectives The marketing mix is the combination of marketing activities that an organization engages in so as to best meet the needs of its target market. It is defined as the particular group of variables offered to the market at a particular point of time, depending on which the market behaves.



The term ‘marketing mix’ becomes popularized after Neil.H.Borden published his 1964 article, The Concept of the Marketing Mix. The ingredients in Borden’s marketing mix included product planning, pricing, branding, distribution channels, personal selling, advertising, promotions, packaging, display, servicing, physical handling, and fact finding and analysis. E.JeromeMcCarthy later grouped these ingredients into the 4 categories that today are known as the 4P’s of marketing

CRITICISM OF 4P’S 

 



It is too product focused and doesn't translate well into the growing service based economy we live in. An equally relevant criticism is the internal focus The traditional marketing mix is pushing product into the marketplace and not pulling products out of the potential suppliers based on these needs and wants through market research. So there have been attempts to develop an 'extended marketing mix' to better accommodate specific aspects of marketing.







in the 1970s, Nickels and Jolson suggested the inclusion of packaging. In the 1980s Kotler proposed public opinion and political power While, Booms and Bitner included three additional 'Ps' to accommodate trends towards a service or knowledge based economy, altogether they form the Extended Marketing Mix



Consumers make judgments and deliver perceptions of the service based on the employees they interact with. Staff should have the appropriate interpersonal skills, aptititude, and service knowledge to provide the service that consumers are paying for. Some ways in which people add value to an experience, as part of the marketing mix - training, personal selling and customer service.
