| Description: | Have you ever thought about where the products you buy come from? Who determined the brand name? Who set the price? Why are they available on line as well at retail stores? A marketer made these decisions. Marketing involves learning about and understanding consumers, and then developing and implementing a plan that delivers products/services that meet the needs of those consumers. A marketing plan also involves setting the prices for the product/service, deciding where and how it will be sold and how it will be promoted. Students who take courses in this area soon discover that the exciting field of marketing encompasses much more than sales and advertising. They learn about marketing research, consumer behaviour, branding, international marketing, marketing of social issues, etc. |
