What you should know - the difference between Marketing
and Selling?
 |
Marketing is the ability to generate leads
while
Selling is your ability to convert those leads into clients. |
Marketing refers to promotion and can also involve pricing, product
placement and distribution. Promotion can be to a specific target
group, or it can be aimed at the general public. Although marketing is
often used with the word advertising, marketing can be more
specifically described as the plan by which the advertising and
promotions will be carried out, as in a marketing strategy. Marketing
is not selling!
Getting an unknown brand name, product or service into a viable
recognition state and revenue generating position requires robust
marketing. Online advertisements placed on key high-traffic websites
or search engines such as Google might be one option, while
advertising in radio, newspapers and magazines might be another or a
combination of all. One of the most expensive marketing strategies
includes well-placed billboard ads coupled with television
commercials.
Marketing is unlimited by creativity and can go beyond conventional
means. For example- If the desired target market fills the inner city,
an advertisement on a bus line or Radio ads might be a cost-effective
means of marketing.
Regardless of product or service, the marketing objective is to
reach the intended audience with a message and delivery system that
reflects the product or service itself -– or at least does not detract
from it. For example, an upscale department store located on the Mink
Mile (that's the Bay & Bloor area in Toronto) would waste
advertising dollars placing ads on a bus line. Hiring an marketing
agency to put together a full-page ad for a magazine like Toronto Life
or a newspaper such as National Post or Globe & Mail is a more
likely marketing strategy. Conversely, a legal firm dealing in
employment law will not likely divert money into a costly magazine ad
that caters to a market outside the main target audience.
Transit ads, local newspapers, local job news/magazines and online
advertisements will be a more likely marketing choice.
Aside from attainment, or expanding the customer base or brand
awareness, marketing is also concerned with customer retention
management (CRM). This refers to marketing that keeps current clients
/ customers coming back or doing word of mouth advertising to their
family & friends. By providing special discounts and special offers,
along with promotional events and great customer service, the CRM plan
allows for retention of the customer base and opportunities to up
sell.
