 When you market a product,it should appeal to the customer and be should be within his reach i.e sold in the same country or city and if not it, arrangement for delivery available. Any marketing product will finally end up in the hands of a consumer who will either be satisfied with his product or dissatisfied. If satisfied, then this result alone is a continuation of your marketing strategy and if not the whole marketin process will end. Not before the product is customized to the consumers demands will it sell again. So when marketing a product your aim is to appeal to the consumer and if the product does appeal to the customer the cycle will continue. Remember that the product appeals to the consumer if it's price and place of selling are within reach or also if he  heard that the demand is high on it.

 That means "The growth Potential through consumer insights" .

And ensuring connection between the " art" and " science" of marketing is more important than ever. Especially with data and IT solutions available to marketers to help business drive outcomes. Marketing used to be more about mass creative solutions and efficient management of resources. However today operate closer to consumer insights. Because marketing is the tool which is used for finding potential customers and to convert them into actual customer or consumer .On the other hand the main goal of business company is to sale the products and services to boost profits . So if the marketing is able to create consumer the company will secure long term profit.  The successful Marketing Process works this way, however searching for potential consumer  convert them into actual consumer-sale takes place-profit occurs, so it can be said that marketing starts and ends with consumers.

Step by step marketing process is as follows:

1.     Analysis of Consumer Behavior based on age, sex, location, income group, profession etc.)

2.     Analysis of organizational Markets (Industrial, whole-seller, Retailer and Govt. Market)

3.     Market Research and Market segmentation, targeting and positioning

4.     Developing Marketing strategies (product development, assessing the economy and developing marketing strategy accordingly)

5.     Planning Marketing Tactics (Branding, Pricing, Channel and Advertising

6.     Sales Promotion and Selling to the Consumers.  

So, we see that Step-1 is analysis of Consumer Behavior and the final step6 is  Selling to the Consumer

In addition to the answers, I would like to add that marketing is about finding the right consumers to the marketed products or services. So it starts by targeting consumers, and ends up with the right consumers who are really interested in buying !
