Marketing Course Marketing is concerned with identifying & satisfying customers' & consumers' needs. Its aim is to ensure that the business is able to anticipate changes in these needs, & to gain & retain customers efficiently & profitably. Although marketing is concerned with satisfying these needs, its scope goes far beyond the process of selling goods & services. Indeed, to be truly effective, the marketing process needs to be present throughout the entire business process, building on a broad understanding of the markets which the business serves, designing into the product or service the characteristics which consumers & customers will find attractive & ensuring that the entire business adopts policies & strategies that cater for their needs. About our Marketing Course Marketing is sometimes presented as a discrete, specialised function or as a set of techniques.

Marketing Mix Course The purpose of this course is to develop understanding of the marketing mix. The marketing mix is comprised of the tools available to a marketer in order to optimise the return from the exchange of value with customers & consumers. It does not relate simply to the elements of a product or service - rather it identifies all the variables over which a marketer has control. This course will examine in depth the different components of the marketing mix & will discuss the way in which these components are controlled & adjusted to make a product or service more competitive. The course will then proceed with an analysis of each of the key variables of the mix. A product is defined & analysed in terms of a series of levels. Products, including goods & services, are classified for ease in understanding. every single product has a life cycle, & this is evaluated in terms of its importance to marketing managers. The way in which the market adopts a new product is evaluated. Pricing strategies & tactics are considered in Section 3, including the many factors that affect the price placed on a product or service. The way in which products are made available to customers is by distribution & this is introduced as an important part of customer service. An overview of this important concept is studied in terms of the level of customer service offered, alongside the different methods of distribution. Promotion, which covers the communication between an organisation & its target audiences, is put into context The physical surroundings in which a service is delivered or a product sold are also considered, along with the people involved in the process of ensuring customer & consumer satisfaction. These must all be brought together to provide a seamless & positive support to every transaction. This course deals with the components of the marketing mix & looks at ways in which they can be managed to optimise return on investment. By the end of this course you will be able to: identify the components of the marketing mix in the marketing of a product or service identify ways in which the variables of the mix can be used to the mutual benefit of the organisation & its clients select the appropriate marketing strategy for a product identify the benefits provided to the consumer by a product identify the characteristics of a service & use these to assess the benefits provided by a service use the product life cycle concept as a guide to marketing understanding select the appropriate marketing mix strategy for a product offering at different stages of its life cycle identify pricing strategies used to make products & services more attractive. ...

Marketing (Byte Size Skills Course)

Byte Size Marketing Course The concept and practice of marketing is concerned with putting the customer first. The working definition of marketing used in this course expresses this idea neatly: "The achievement of corporate goals through meeting and exceeding customer needs better than the competition." We can think of marketing as a philosophy that underpins and drives the activities of an organisation. We can also regard it as a business function and process concerned with the set of activities necessary to obtain and service demand for an organisation's products.  All elements of marketing serve to determine the approach of organisations and ultimately their business performance. In this course, we provide an overview of marketing by looking at the complexity of
delivering an ever-changing set of products and services within a business context that is broad, subject to economic fluctuations and volatile consumer taste and demand. More specifically, we look at the philosophy of marketing and introduce marketing planning and the business context in which organisations operate - the marketing environment. After participating in this course, you should be able to: define the marketing concept define marketing as a business orientation and as a business activity distinguish between different business orientations recognise the management issues involved in creating a market-driven organisation define what is meant by the marketing mix, and identify its key elements and the characteristics of an effective mix identify and describe
the key stages in the marketing planning process identify key changes in the marketing environment, and how these may impact on marketing decisions.
