Introduction: There are several good reasons
for studying
marketing. First of all, marketing issues are important in all areas
of the organization—customers are the reasons why businesses exist! In fact,
marketing efforts (including such services as promotion and distribution) often
account for more than half of the price of a product. As an added benefit, studying
marketing often helps us become more savvy consumers. We will learn, for instance,
that the per unit price of a bigger package is frequently higher than that of
a smaller one, and that more expensive products are frequently not better in quality.
Criteria that must be met for marketing to occur: Several criteria must be met
for marketing to occur:
- There must be two parties, each with unsatisfied needs or wants. This want,
of course, could be money for the seller.
- Each must have something to offer. Marketing involves voluntary “exchange”
relationships where both sides must be willing parties. Thus, a consumer who buys
a soft drink in a vending machine for 60¢ must value the soft drink, available
at that time and place, more than the money. Conversely, the vendor must value
the money more. (It is interesting to note that money is, strictly speaking, not
necessary for this exchange to take place. It is possible, albeit a bit cumbersome,
to exchange two ducks for a pair of shoes.)
- The parties must be able to communicate. This could be through a display in
a store, an infomercial, or a posting on eBay.
