What is Marketing?
Marketing refers to business activities associated with
communicating, advertising, delivering, or selling products or
services to customers. A company undertakes the activities to
promote the sale of a product or service to the target audience.

Marketing involves getting consumers interested in the product
offerings by conducting marketing research and gaining a better
understanding of the customer’s interests, tastes, and preferences.
In the process, the marketing personnel creates a marketing plan,
which entails all the activities and channels that the company will
use to draw the customer’s attention to the products or
services offered.

A well-thought-out and focused marketing plan will help the
company keep its marketing efforts centered on the target market
and consistently bring in more sales. It should cover the entire
process from product creation, distribution methods, sales, and
advertising methods.

Summary
Marketing refers to the activities pursued by a company to promote
its products or services to the target market.
The goal of marketing is to draw the consumers’ attention to the
company’s products and create a relationship with existing
customers.
It involves product development, product distribution,
advertisement, selling, and the delivery of products to the end
consumer.

Evolution of Marketing
The history of modern marketing can be traced to the 1950s when
companies used various marketing methods to draw the customers’
attention to a product. Before then, companies used print media to
place ads that enticed consumers to buy their products and services.

With the introduction of TV and the internet, companies became
more creative in how they communicated product information to
consumers. They conducted marketing campaigns across multiple
platforms as advertisers competed to outdo other competing
products in the market and get customers interested in their
products. The marketing information should not only be
promotional but also educational to convert more potential
customers into successful leads.
