Marketing Mix Definition
The Marketing Mix is the set of marketing tools often referred to as the four Ps: The Product, its Price, Promotion and Place, that the firm uses to achieve its objectives in its target market (McCarthy, 2001). In more recent times it has been expanded and called the 7 Ps - the four Ps with the addition of People, Process and Physical Evidence (Chartered Institute of Marketing, 2004).
