Direct mail campaigns from Image Red.
At Image Red we refer to this as the marketing mix which we use to craft your
marketing plan.
The four P's model is most useful when marketing low value consumer products. Industrial
products, services, high value consumer products require adjustments to this model.
Services marketing must account for the unique nature of services.
Industrial or B2B marketing must account for the long term contractual agreements
that are typical in supply chain transactions. Relationship marketing attempts to
do this by looking at marketing from a long term relationship perspective rather
than individual transactions.
- Product: The product aspects of marketing deal with the specifications
of the actual goods or services, and how it relates to the end-user's needs and
wants. The scope of a product generally includes supporting elements such as warranties,
guarantees, and support.
- Pricing: This refers to the process of setting a price for a product, including
discounts. The price need not be monetary - it can simply be what is exchanged for
the product or services, e.g. time, energy, or attention.
- Promotion: This includes advertising, sales promotion, publicity, and personal
selling, branding and refers to the various methods of promoting the product, brand,
or company.
- Placement (or distribution): refers to how the product gets to the customer;
for example, point-of-sale placement or retailing. This fourth P has also sometimes
been called Place, referring to the channel by which a product or service is sold
(e.g. online vs. retail), which geographic region or industry, to which segment
(young adults, families, business people), etc. also referring to how the environment
in which the product is sold in can affect sales.
