What is Marketing

Marketing is Derived from the Latin word “Mercatus” which means Marketplace. Marketing is the process of identifying the customer’s needs and wants and delivering the products and services to satisfy their needs.

Role of Marketing in Day to Day Activities

In the minds of commoners, marketing is all about selling products to customers. But, It happens with day to day actions of people.
Communication, exploration, and delivery are some parts of marketing. But What they don’t know is the underlying factor behind sales which is time and emotions. For example, A beggar has his technique for making money. He is not just looking at you. Wondering how? Yes. He sells his own emotions. Because he knows emotions are an undeniable part of human life.
Marketing commences once we enter this world. A newborn unaware of this world knows how to seek attention from the mother. It is what is called the purpose of advertisement in marketing. The role of marketing commences here.

Real Understanding of Marketing

Marketing is not just a promotion or conveying information. It also explores, creates, and delivers the needs of the market. Our ancient past shows records of the barter system.
A few years ago, people bought goods directly from the shop. Nowadays, buying and selling have become serene through online platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Zomato, etc. So marketing reduces the physical gap between the market and customers. It gives the customer 24/7 facility to shop at their doorsteps. It is not only to buy a product but to raise queries about the dissatisfaction/ obstacles while owning a product or service.
In this fast-moving world, we search for instant remedies to satisfy our daily needs. The field of marketing delivers the same on time. We can conclude that what we see, buy, and own are all the by-products of marketing. We see a movie, cry, have fun, buy popcorn, and move on. Here the movie is a product. The actors are raw materials. Theatre is a product. Popcorn, screen, and chairs are the raw materials.

Need for Marketing

Marketers do not sell products but instead solutions in the name of saving time. Let us discuss the marketing needs. Sold is the Need, not the product. From morning to night, we make decisions about our daily needs. It includes questions like, where should I go? What should I buy? etc., these questions look very simple. But attracting people to sell answers to them becomes the real challenge in marketing.
Take a situation, for example. A man standing on a highway during lunchtime finds a local shop on one side and a subway on the other. He will think of various factors like the quality of the food, trustworthiness of the shop, taste, cost, etc.
Based on it, he will conclude. Here we see, Brand recognition and Brand awareness play a vital role in these decisions.

Upgradation of Marketing

After the advent of social media, marketers make people talk about products and make advertisements. Understanding the demand of the customer becomes simple through the internet.
If a customer requires something, he immediately searches for it. Surfing the internet has become common. So in the field of digital marketing, the marketer can easily catch the mindset of the people. It is possible by monitoring daily activities and searching history.
These recent trends in marketing activity made the market function easy for marketers and customers.
