Introduction <\/strong><\/p>\n

The way in which a company markets itself impacts every other aspect of the organization, especially the supply chain. Marketing strategies usually fall within four distinct categories \u2013 product, price, place, and promotion. Product involves decisions that encompass the bundle of product characteristics that satisfy customer needs, related to brand name and functionality. Price refers to the pricing strategy developed for the product. Place confronts where and when the product is needed, and promotion involves advertising and sales techniques aimed to increase product visibility and desirability.<\/p>\n

In this discussion, we will take product examples from our consumer experiences and assess the implications on the supply chain.<\/p>\n
