Background

What is Marketing?

Marketing is the process of interesting potential customers and clients in your products and/or


services. The key word in this marketing definition is "process"; marketing involves
researching, promoting, selling, and distributing your products or services.

Purposes of marketing:
1. Capturing the attention of your target market
2. Persuading a consumer to purchase your product
3. Providing the customer with a specific, low-risk action that is easy to take.

How Are Statistics Applied in Marketing?


1. Data Source
Statistics provide demographic information such as the number of potential customers
in a geographical area, their ages, income levels and consumer preferences. Used as
part of competitor analysis, statistics can identify the major competitors, their market
share and trends in the longevity of their products. Industry sector data helps
marketers understand the trends governing supply and demand of the product
category and fluctuations in its popularity.

2. Marketing Mix Modeling


It helps marketers identify the correct combination of marketing communications
channels to use to reach the target market and provide the best return on the marketing
investment. Modeling works by analyzing information and using the technique of
statistical regression to determine the effectiveness of sales on the market. The
formula for modeling includes creation of a model using sales volumes and value as a
dependent variable, and then using various marketing channels to represent the
independent variables.
The Four Ps Model of Marketing

 Product: The procedures you have in place to ensure that your products are ready for
selling. Your product (or service) should fill a gap in the market, meet the needs of
customers, and stand out from the competition.
 Price: The cost of purchase, including both the sticker price as well as less
quantifiable trade-offs that a customer must be willing to make when they purchase
your products.
 Promotion: The information you give consumers through targeted advertising to
generate interest in your products. Promotions usually have one of two purposes:
generate leads or initiate actual purchases.
 Place: Refers to how and where products are sold. All distribution decisions are part
of your overall marketing process.

What is Promotion?
In marketing, promotion refers to any type of marketing communication used to inform or
persuade target audiences of the relative merits of a product, service, brand or issue. The aim
of promotion is to increase awareness, create interest, generate sales or create brand loyalty.
It is one of the basic elements of the market mix, which includes the four Ps, i.e., product,
price, place, and promotion.

Types of Promotion

 Advertising
Advertising means to advertise a product, service or a company with the help of
television, radio or social media. It helps in spreading awareness about the company,
product or service. 

 Direct Marketing
Direct marketing is a form of advertising where organizations communicate directly
to customers through a variety of media including cell phone email, websites, online
adverts, fliers, catalog distribution and targeted television, newspaper and magazine
advertisements as well as outdoor advertising.

 Sales Promotion
Sales promotion uses both media and non-media marketing communications for a pre-
determined, limited time to increase consumer demand, stimulate market demand or
improve product availability.

 Personal Selling
The sale of a product depends on the selling of a product. Personal Selling is a method
where companies send their agents to the consumer to sell the products personally.

 Public Relation
Public relation or PR is the practice of managing the spread of information between an
individual or an organization (such as a business, government agency, or a nonprofit
organization) and the public.
