Introduction to Marketing
Marketing employs strategies to identify and communicate the value of a product or service to meet the needs of an audience while making a profit. Marketing strategies are constantly happening all around us—when you receive an email about a seasonal promotion, when you see a 30% discount at your local supermarket, or when you use your loyalty card to collect a free gift.
In a world full of advanced technology, businesses and companies need to keep on trend more than ever. In order to do so, they have to come up with creative marketing strategies that are not only relevant to today’s audience, but with the ever-evolving trends that will determine the success of their efforts.
Does organizing events excite you? Are you passionate about sharing your creative ideas? Can you come up with a description interesting enough to sell a product on the spot? Do you often come up with the craziest, wackiest ideas on how to attract attention?
Marketing may be the course for you!
