The four Ps of marketing are product, place, price, and promotion. These four elements are integrated into the business plan of all businesses. These elements are described as follows:
Product: This is something that you can touch and feel, or it can be a service rendered. This is the “thing” that a business is trying to market to customers.
Price: If the price is too high, customers may look for a lower price and purchase from a competitor. If it is too low, the business may not make enough revenue to continue to grow.
Promotion: If a business does no promotion, word does not get out about the products for customers to purchase.
Place: If the business does not choose the right place or manage its supply chain, the products will not get to the customers.
These four Ps of marketing have not changed over the years. The way a business manages its four Ps has to evolve with technologies. The Internet and smartphones have put the world of products in the customers’ hands to take with them wherever they go. There are Web sites, social media platforms, and information being disseminated constantly. It is important for businesses to adjust and integrate the four Ps of marketing in these platforms to meet the wants and needs of today’s tech-savvy consumers.
