Updating four Ps “marketing mix”
The original marketing mix, or 4 P's, as originally proposed by marketer and academic Jerome E.
McCarthy, provides a framework for marketing decision-making. Effectively summing up the 4
pillars of the business cycle, McCarthy's marketing mix has since become one of the most
enduring and widely accepted frameworks in business.
The four Ps component of the marketing mix

A PRODUCT is a service or good offered to meet consumer interest or demand. It


could come in the form of occupational therapy or a fidget spinner - choices are only limited to
the imagination, BUT, are highly dependent on marketplace curiosity or need.

PRICE is the cost people pay for a product. This includes base costs (materials,
manufacturing, and shipping) plus expenses (rent, office supplies, healthcare, etc.). While you
should always look to the competition, a smart business will tap into what people will actually
pay for it. That's the only thing that counts. If you can't rise above your bottom line and make
your target profit, then it’s a losing proposition.

PLACE is the “home” where the product resides, and that “home” can live in many
different channels, such as a physical store display, a newspaper, radio or TV ad, or a website or
blog spotlight. Really, a place is anywhere you can get your product in front of your target
customers that compliments your budget, including the price point.

PROMOTION is product exposure and public relations efforts via advertising as


well as word of mouth, direct mail, email marketing and social media. Promotion is a
communication tool that encapsulates the first 3 P’s by putting the right product in the right
place, at the right price, at the right time, with the goal of it being irresistible to customers
