... The Marketing Mix The marketing mix is the balance of marketing techniques required for selling the product. It's components are often known as the four Ps: * Price - the price of the product - particularly the price compared to your competitors - is a vital part of marketing. There are several possible pricing techniques, which I will explain about further on. * Product - targeting the market and making the product appropriate to the market segment you are trying to sell into * Promotion - this may take the form of point of sale promotion, advertising, sponsorship or other promotions. * Place - this part of the marketing mix is all about how the product is distributed. Current trends are towards shortening the chain of distribution. In the past many firms have been what could have been described as product-oriented. They produced a product and spent their energies marketing this product.
