Marketing is one of the fields in business management. The field involves business organizations and their customers as the key players. Marketing involves an organization or a company identifying and anticipating their customer’s needs and satisfying them in a profitable way. Marketing is a broad field and it encompasses marketing concept and marketing practices. Marketing concept is a marketing philosophy that advocates for selling products or services that are benefit oriented instead of product oriented. Benefit oriented products and services seek to satisfy the needs of customers while product oriented ones focus on production needs of the company. For example, a perfume producing company may use the marketing concept to market their products where the company would advocate that it is in the business to sell dreams and romance. The company therefore, markets the benefits derived from the product rather than the perfume itself. On the other hand, marketing practices are activities that a business organization employs to oversee successful marketing of its products and services. Both marketing concept and marketing practices have their positives and negatives. This essay seeks to establish whether the positives of marketing concept outweigh the negatives of today’s marketing practice.…

Over the next five years Levive will need to expand distribution to various retailers. I personally would love to see our products on the shelves of major retailers such as Wal-mart; however we are unsure if this would be beneficial or harmful to our success. We are currently using a direct channel; the use of a direct channel allows us to get the product straight to our users. As business continues to grow, we will need to switch from a direct channel to a dual distributing channel.…

A deep realization about marketing begins its existence when I was browsing on the Internet. An author named Seth Godin captures my oblivious being in view of marketing with an aphorism that goes this way, “marketing is a contest for people’s attention”. This line must be too short to consider but it carries a lot of denotations which could be branched out to many ideas. Thinking, with respect to my instructor’s introduction of Marketing Management, I was near to set store by shifting my present course into that course, his field of expertise. But he, himself alone enlightened me enough to consider that he was just “marketing” the course.…
