Study Notes
Marketing Communications
- Marketing Mix (4 Ps): Key elements businesses control to influence customer demand and achieve goals. These include product, place, price, and promotion.
- Service Quality Dimensions: Factors to evaluate service quality. These include tangibles (physical aspects like appearance and equipment), reliability (meeting expectations), responsiveness (helping customers), assurance (inspiring trust), and empathy (showing care).
-
