Selling vs Marketing

Selling involves having customers buy products they may not fully need, with a focus on producing and selling products to generate stock and sales.
Marketing, on the other hand, involves offering customers products they want, with a focus on understanding customer needs through surveys and producing products that meet those needs, resulting in no stock and no sale.

Key Differences

Selling starts with the factory, focuses on the product, and has a business-to-business perspective, whereas marketing starts with the customer, focuses on consumer needs, and has a door-to-door sales perspective.
Selling has an inside-out perspective, with a short-term orientation, focusing on volume and cost price, whereas marketing has an outside-in perspective, with a long-term orientation, focusing on profit and market value.

Marketing Examples

Business planning, newsletters, search engine optimization, online marketing, trade shows, and placing ads on TV are all examples of marketing strategies.
