Strategic Role: Mid-term to Long-term Planning

Marketing involves optimizing product, price, communication, and distribution to achieve strategic goals.
Tomczak, Kuss, and Reinecke (2017) define marketing mix as product, price, promotion, and place (4 Ps).
The marketing mix is crucial in achieving strategic marketing objectives.

Marketing Mix

Product: features, packaging, and quality.

Promotion: advertisement, sales promotion, online channels, personal sales, offline channels, PR, and influencer marketing.
Place: distribution channels, online channels, and personal sales.

Market Segmentation

Market segmentation involves identifying homogeneous segments from a heterogeneous mass.
Segments are formed based on demographic, socio-economic, and psychographic criteria.

Innovation Orientation

Innovation orientation involves identifying customer needs and developing products to meet those needs.
Companies should focus on innovation to stay competitive.
