Religious View on Marketing
Marketing facilitates exchange, and exchange creates
wealth and a higher standard of living
D&C 104:16, 17 . . . .; and behold this is the way that I, the Lord, have decreed to
provide for my saints, that the poor shall be exalted, in that the rich shall be made low.
For the earth is full, and there is enough to spare; yea, I prepared all things, and have
given unto the children of men to be agents unto themselves . . .
Helaman 6:8,9 . . . The Lamanites did go whithersoever they would, whether among the
Lamanites or among the Nephites; and thus they did have free intercourse one with
another, to buy and to sell and to get gain . . . And it came to pass that they became
exceedingly rich, both the Lamanites and the Nephites; and they did have an exceeding
plenty of gold and silver, and of all manner of precious metals . . .
Jacob 2:19 And after ye have obtained hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek
them; and ye will seek them for the intent to do good--to clothe the naked, and feed the
hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted.
Role of Marketing

Exchange Process
SYNERGISTIC RESULT OF
EXCHANGE

(UTILITY)
 COLLECTIVE UTILITY (SATISFACTION) OF SOCIETY IS
RAISED BY INDIVIDUAL EXCHANGES
BUYER SATISFACTIONS

 OWNING (POSSESION) CAN INCREASE SENSE OF
WELLBEING

SELFISH
