MARKETING: The ongoing process of developing, pricing, promoting, distributing, and packaging products, ideas, and services to satisfy customersÕ wants and needs in a dynamic environment. Sometimes used interchangeably with sales is a misnomer. Sales, while a component of the promotion mix variable, is not the equivalent to marketing. Marketing is a broad, integrated strategy that transcends the entire organization. See also | marketing concept | marketing mix | customer | sales | promotion | SWOT |
