Have you already experienced being given a task to ‘market’ a certain product? Remember, marketing is not selling. Marketing is a different thing from selling. Selling is offering to exchange something of value for something tangible or a service (intangible). That something else, typically money, is most often seen by the seller as being of higher worth or appeal than the item being traded. Marketing, on the other hand is the method used to determine what products or services may be of interest to customers, and the strategies to make successful sales, communications with customers, and development of the business. It is very important to these companies to have a healthy communication and relationship with their clients. Basically it’s like trading skills and abilities to meet customers’ needs or wants and getting appropriate value in return.
In summary, selling is trading, usually money in exchange to an item where the buyer thinks that the value of the item is greater than the value of money he or she is giving to the seller. Marketing is more about indirectly reaching out to all consumers or end clients where the target is to make a product well-known for the purpose of attracting possible buyers. The end result would be a purchase from a store.
