Explanation:
E. Jerome McCarthy was the first person to suggest the four P's of marketing-price, promotion, product and place(distribution)-which constitute the most common variables used in constructing a marketing mix.
(a) THE FOUR P'S OF MARKETING:
Product: A product refers to an item that satisfies the consumer's needs or wants. Products may be tangible (goods) or intangible (services, ideas or experiences).
Price: Price refers to the amount a customer pays for a product. Price may also refer to the sacrifice consumers are prepared to make to acquire a product (e.g. time or effort). and includes considerations of customer perceived value.
Place describes giving the customer access to your product, traditionally at a brick-and-, mortar place or through the mail.
Promotion refers to marketing communications advertising, PR, or sales/promotions).
