Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between marketing and selling?
Selling focuses mainly on transferring title and possession of goods from seller to buyer, starting after production and aiming at maximizing sales volume. Marketing is a wider process that starts long before production, focusing on identifying customer needs and satisfying them to build long-term relationships.
What are the 4 Ps of the Marketing Mix?
The 4 Ps are Product (what you sell), Price (how much it costs), Place (where it is sold), and Promotion (how you communicate about it).
Why is labelling important on a product?
Labelling provides essential information to the customer such as ingredients, manufacturing date, expiry date, usage instructions, and statutory warnings, thereby ensuring consumer protection and aiding informed purchasing decisions.
