Requirements for Marketing to Occur
For marketing to occur, at least 4 factors are
required:
1.
Two or more parties (individuals or
organizations) with unsatisfied needs,
2.
a desire and ability on their part to be satisfied,
3.
a way for the parties to communicate, and
4.
something to exchange.

The Target Market
Because the organization
obviously can’t satisfy all
consumer needs, it must
concentrate its efforts on
certain needs of a specific
group of potential consumers. This is the
target market -- one or more specific groups
of potential consumers toward which an
organization directs its marketing program.

Relationship Marketing
Relationship marketing is linking the organization to
its individual customers, employees, suppliers,
and other partners for their mutual long-term
benefits.
Mutual long-term benefits between the organization
and its customers require links to other vital
stakeholders-- including suppliers, employees,
and “partners” such as wholesalers or retailers in
a manufacturer’s channel of distribution.
A marketing program is. . .
a plan that integrates the
marketing mix to provide a
good, service, or idea to
prospective buyers.
