MARKETING
“Marketing is not only much broader than selling, it is not a specialized activity at all.
It encompasses the entire business. It is the whole business seen from the point
of view of the final result, that is, from the customer's point of view. Concern and
responsibility for marketing must therefore permeate all areas of the enterprise.”
~Drucker
“This customer focused philosophy is known as the 'marketing concept'. The
marketing concept is a philosophy, not a system of marketing or an organizational
structure. It is founded on the belief that profitable sales and satisfactory returns
on investment can only be achieved by identifying, anticipating and satisfying
customer needs and desires.” ~Barwell
Best Practice Approach is to supplement
your Marketing Program
with DECA!
MARKETING AND DECA—CO-CURRICULAR
DECA:
Mission: Prepare emerging leaders and
entrepreneurs in marketing, finance,
hospitality and management.
By leveraging their DECA membership, members can become:
ACADEMICALLY PREPARED for college and careers in marketing, finance,
hospitality or management
COMMUNITY ORIENTED by gaining an appreciation for the benefits of service
and their potential impact on the community and world
PROFESSIONALLY RESPONSIBLE with ethics, integrity and high standards
EXPERIENCED LEADERS by practicing key leadership skills such as goal setting,
consensus building and project management.
High school chapters are recognized and chartered by the state or provincial
association and must be authorized by the local school and advised by a faculty
member responsible for course content in one of areas identified above.
