What are the 4 Ps of the marketing Mix
Product
Place
Price
Promotion
What does ‘product’ mean within the marketing mix
The Product should fit the task consumers want it for, it should work and it should be what the consumers are expecting to get.
What does ‘place’ mean within the marketing mix
The product should be available from where your target consumer finds it easiest to shop. This may be High Street, Mail Order or the more current option via e-commerce or an online shop.
What does ‘price’ mean within the marketing mix
The Product should always be seen as representing good value for money. This does not necessarily mean it should be the cheapest available; one of the main tenets of the marketing concept is that customers are usually happy to pay a little more for something that works really well for them.
What does ‘promotion’ mean within the marketing mix
Advertising, PR, Sales Promotion, Personal Selling and, in more recent times, Social Media are all key communication tools for an organisation. These tools should be used to put across the organisation’s message to the correct audiences in the manner they would most like to hear, whether it be informative or appealing to their emotions.

People
Processes
Physical Evidence
What does ‘people’ mean within the marketing mix
All companies are reliant on the people who run them from front line Sales staff to the Managing Director. Having the right people is essential because they are as much a part of your business offering as the products/services you are offering.
What does ‘processes’ mean within the marketing mix
The delivery of your service is usually done with the customer present so how the service is delivered is once again part of what the consumer is paying for.
What does ‘physical evidence’ mean within the marketing mix
Almost all services include some physical elements even if the bulk of what the consumer is paying for is intangible.
For example, a hair salon would provide their client with a completed hairdo and an insurance company would give their customers some form of printed material. Even if the material is not physically printed (in the case of PDFs) they are still receiving a “physical product” by this definition.
