What is Marketing?
• The American Marketing Association defines
marketing as the “process of planning and
executing the conception, pricing, promotion and
distribution of ideas, goods and services to create
exchanges that satisfy individual and
organizational objectives”
• Often the career path to top management is
through marketing management -- Why?
Because marketing products and services is how
companies generate revenues
• Whatever your particular set of skills, you can find
a marketing related position that “fits” with you

More On Marketing…
• Marketing involves the conception, promotion, and physical
distribution of good and services to satisfy the economic needs of
society
• While it is easy to visualize those employed in wholesale and retail
establishments as engaged in marketing, employees of other firms
primarily engaged in manufacturing and services also perform
marketing functions
• Marketing is an important area of activity in financial institutions, public
utilities, and insurance and some not-for-profit organizations
• Representing more than fifteen percent of all persons employed,
marketing plays an ever-increasing role in our economy
• Employment opportunities in any phase of marketing--advertising,
selling, buying, financing, or merchandising--are varied, attractive, and
limitless
• An education in marketing is broadening and cultural, as well as
specialized

Areas within Marketing
Marketing is often divided along two lines and your career
path could include parts of both:
• Sales -- identifying customer needs and helping to
deliver existing products and services to the customer
• Marketing -- assessing customer wants and helping to
plan and promote products and services to satisfy
those wants (often to well-defined groups of customers)
Sales and marketing both attract professionals who will
perform many specialized functions and build expertise
in many specialized fields and industries

Marketing More Specifically
Marketing’s diversity is one of its many attractions to students and
practitioners alike
Sales and Customer Service
This field is possibly the most diverse and difficult to classify. Here,
opportunities are available with manufacturers as well as wholesale and retail
firms. One also might consider a wide range of products and customers since
college graduates can be found selling products ranging from massive
computer installations to women’s apparel. A career in sales or customer
service affords a college graduate an almost infinite variety of duties as well
as opportunity for promotion to managerial positions.
Product Development
Many companies have given managers and their subordinate’s major
responsibility in the determination of customer needs, and the translation of
these needs into a combination of goods and services designed to satisfy the
demands of their market. In this area of marketing, people work closely with
engineers, manufacturing executives, or others concerned with the product
offerings of the firm.

More Areas in Marketing
Marketing Research
This field has grown rapidly in importance over the past
decade. Specialists in this field gather, from a variety of
sources, information needed by management relative to the
marketing environment within which the firm operates, as well
as data necessary for internal control.
Advertising and Sales Promotion
These areas are concerned with the employment of news
media, such as television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and
other devices, to present goods or services to the potential
market and to supplement the work of the personal sales force
by reducing initial buyer resistance. Careers in advertising may
be pursued both within independent agencies as well as within
advertising departments of manufacturing, wholesale, and retail
firms.

What are Marketing Salaries Like?
Salaries often depend on the industry you are in as well as
the type of position
If salary is important to you, you should realize that while
entry-level salaries are mid-range, over the long term, it is
the potential for significant salary increases that will matter
most
This is because your salary (especially in sales related
positions or positions where you income is dependent on
the product’s success) can be determined by a ratio of
fixed salary, commission, and bonuses
Consequently, don’t just look at starting salaries, look at a
professional’s salary 5,10 or 15 years into the future
