Thank you for the invitation I agree with the experts answers
Marketing is a general term used to describe all the steps that lead to final sales. It is the process of planning and executing pricing, promotion and distribution to satisfy your individual and organizational needs, as well as those of your customers.
From this definition, it is easy to see that marketing is more than just selling a product or service. It is an essential part of business. Without marketing, even the best products and services fail.
Companies constantly go under because they don't know what is happening in the marketplace and, as a result, they aren't fully meeting their customers' needs. They mistakenly believe that with the proper amount of advertising, customers will buy whatever they are offered.
Marketing consists of the decisions you make strategically-behind the scenes-that affect how your customer perceives your product
