Marketing is a wider term than selling. Explain. |
|
Answer» Marketing is wider in scope than selling. Selling is a part of marketing. Marketing includes not only selling but also other activities such as Market research, product planning and development etc. Marketing starts before the product is produced while selling starts after the product has been produced. Selling ends with the sale of goods. Marketing continues even after sales, e.g., after sale services, study of future demand etc. Marketing focuses attention on product, promotion, pricing and physical distribution whereas selling just pays attention to the promotion. Selling aims at transfer of awnership of the product from the seller to the buydr whereas marketing aims at achieving customer satisfaction after the products has been transfer to customer. Therefore marketing is a wider term because it starts before selling and continues after the selling has been done. |
