Marketing is the total management procedure via which a product progresses from concept to consumer to satisfy and meet the needs and wants of customers. This involves addressing a number of key matters: what the company is going to produce, how much they are going to charge, how it is going to distribute its products or services to the customer, how it is going to tell its customers about its products and services, how the selling process actually happens, who comes in contact with customers and the layout of interface in which the company and customers interact.
