marketing
(noun)
Marketing is the process of communicating the value of a product or service to customers.
Examples of marketing in the following topics:
-
Market Share
- For a very basic example, let's look at the market for baubles.
- Market share is the percentage of a market (defined in terms of either units or revenue) accounted for by a specific entity.
- Market share is a key indicator of market competitiveness—that is, how well a firm is doing in terms of its competition.
- However, increasing market share may be dangerous for makers of fungible hazardous products, particularly products sold into the United States market, where they may be subject to market share liability.
- Although market share is likely the single most important marketing metric, there is no generally acknowledged best method for calculating it.

Local, regional, national, international, and global marketers

- Naturally, the total potential market is limited.
- This type of marketing offers tremendous profit potential, but also exposes the marketer to new, aggressive competitors.
- As the US market becomes more and more saturated with US-made products, the continued expansion into foreign markets appears inevitable.

Digital Marketing
- Internet marketing, also known as web marketing, online marketing, webvertising, or e-marketing, is referred to as the marketing (generally promotion) of products or services over the Internet.
- Internet marketing is considered to be broad in scope because it not only refers to marketing on the Internet but also includes marketing done via e-mail and wireless media.
- Email, text messaging, and web feeds can also be classed as push digital marketing when the recipient has not given permission for the marketer to send the marketing message.
- Push digital marketing technologies are more proper when done with prior permission—a concept called permission marketing.
- This enables a marketer to benefit from both types of digital marketing .

- One of the inevitable questions that surfaces concerning global marketing is: how does global marketing truly differ from domestic marketing, if at all?
- A standardized marketing model utilizes the same functions in all markets.
- Conversely, a customized marketing strategy adheres to the needs and wants of a particular target market.
- An important decision that international marketers must make is whether to utilize standardized marketing, treating all markets in the same manner, or customized marketing, adhering to local customs and traditions for greater effectiveness.

- Marketing is an individualized and highly creative process.
- Each business must customize its marketing efforts in response to its environment and the exchange process.
- Consequently, no two marketing strategies are exactly the same.
- This requirement of marketing to play slightly different roles, depending upon some set of situational criteria, has in turn provided us with a division of marketing into a number of different categories.
