Majorly, all the firms and companies are already using traditional marketing strategies for their businesses for the purposes like manufacturing, product selling, advertising, etc. In order to sustain in this business and in the market, many spend thousands of dollars in hiring marketing talent. Thus, marketing plays an important role in every business, irrespective of their revenue, size and nature of business. We all have heard different definitions of Marketing.
What is Marketing?
To put it in a simple way, I define Marketing as a phenomena or a process to convince a customer or a consumer to buy or purchase a product or service offered in the market, keeping in mind what the customer wants and making sure that your services or products solve the issue or meet their expectations.
Not always does the customer buys the product right away. Sometimes, he doesn’t even buy it at all. But, with good marketing and the right set of strategies, everything is possible and achievable. In a team of professionals working in a firm, it is common that every individual will address the problem differently and will come up with the solution in their own individual ways. Thus, it gets difficult sometimes to agree on a method that works for them, for their firm. The final method, after discussions and agreement, will always lead to the right approach for their business. The method of approach actually gives a framework to work on the requirement or need of a customer, which makes it of utmost importance as the data analysis is determined from this method.
Since 1995, the number of Internet users has increased drastically and this rise has marked the online marketing development. Everyone today, can do pretty much anything and everything online, from researching, e-commerce, virtual reality, to communication. This huge increase of internet users today shows the need of firms and companies to present themselves in the market.
No matter what type of organization you run, email marketing can help you connect with and grow your audience and convert prospects into loyal customers – at a fraction of the cost of most other marketing channels.
