What is Marketing Mix?
According to an excerpt from Marketing Teacher, "The marketing mix is probably the most famous marketing term. Its elements are the basic, tactical components of a marketing plan. The concept is simple. Think about another common mix - a cake mix. All cakes contain eggs, milk, flour, and sugar. However, you can alter the final cake by altering the amounts of mix elements contained in it. So for a sweet cake add more sugar" (Marketing Mix, 2000).
[...] Careful adherence to the elements of the marketing mix, and a mindful watch on how your business is operating are the cornerstones to a successful and profitable operation.
