Introduction

Marketing exists to address people's needs and wants. It is about making customers want to buy the products of a business rather than those of a rival business. It therefore looks at the reasons behind people's decisions, such as the actual product, the price charged, promotion and place (distribution). Ultimately, it must meet the needs and wants of the customer. This is essential for all businesses aiming to make a profit.
