So, Like, What Is Marketing?

By: Allison Nazarian | Posted: 07th July 2006

According to Webster's, marketing is:



1. The act or process of selling or purchasing in a market.

2. The process or technique of promoting, selling and distributing a product or service.

3. An aggregate of functions involved in moving goods from producer to consumer.



As you know, marketing comes in many forms and formats: advertising, public relations, even blogging. When you use words to promote your company, product or service, you're marketing. And remember that your message – and how you put it together – is the key to your potential customers' opinions and actions.



In other words, marketing = selling. Without the right message and words, there is no sale!
