Marketing Mix
In developing a marketing strategy, the four p's of marketing must be addressed. These are
product, price, placement, and promotion. These all work together to help reach maximum
potential in a marketing strategy.
Product is anything that is marketable. This can be a service, physical item or an idea. It is
important to define what the product is, in order to define the target market. Without a definite
product, no other part of the marketing strategy can be implemented.
Price does play an important part in the marketing mix, but it should not rule the business. Price

placement such as location, inventory, transport, and coverage. It also covers the channels used
to market the product. Channels can change over time as businesses grow and evolve.
Promotion is the final element of the marketing mix. Promotion includes the communication of
information about the product. The goal is to create a positive customer response. Marketing
communication includes advertising, promotions, public relations, publicity, sales force or team,
and promotional strategy.

made with the producers of our private label orange juice, we are able to sell the half gallon juice
at a current price of $1.88. This is a savings of over $1, over our old price. The deal is that the
stores can only receive the juice once a week, and the main office location receives a large bulk
quantity and must distribute it evenly to ensure each location receives enough. The goal for
