We define marketing mix as the set of
controllable tactical marketing tools that the firm blends to produce the response it wants in the target market.
These marketing tools are 4 Psi) Product- the goods-and-services
combination the company offers to the target market. ii) Price- the amount of money customer have to pay to obtain the product.
iii) Place- companys activities that make
the product available to target consumers. iv) Promotion- activities that communicate the merits of the product and persuade target customers to buy it.
