What is a Marketing Mix?

A marketing mix includes multiple areas of focus as part of a comprehensive marketing plan. The term often refers to a common classification that began as the four Ps: product, price, placement, and promotion.
The four Ps classification for developing an effective marketing strategy was first introduced in 1960 by marketing professor and author E. Jerome McCarthy. Depending on the industry and the target of the marketing plan, marketing managers may take various approaches to each of the four Ps. Each element can be examined independently, but in practice, they often are often dependent on one another.
Effective marketing touches on a broad range of areas as opposed to fixating on one message. Doing so helps reach a wider audience, and by keeping the four Ps in mind, marketing professionals are better able to maintain focus on the things that really matter. Focusing on a marketing mix helps organizations make strategic decisions when launching new products or revising existing products.

Product
It involves the goods or services that aims to meet the needs of the clients. It is related to the guarantees and the expectation that the client has. The value added in the visual form of the product itself must be considered.

Price
It is the only P that translates into monetary terms and generates income. You must establish ways in which the price will be set.

Three ways to set the price:
• Costing
• Pricing
• Consumer perception

Place
It considers the distribution channels that the organization requires to deliver the products. Also considers the aspects where the client will want to consume the product. It involves the design and structure of the establishment and the place where the product is required.

Promotion
It is the integral communication that the organization uses to attract, persuade and remind the consumer of the brand, the good or service. The main communication channels are: advertising, sales promotion, public relations, personal sales and BTL.
