About Marketing

Marketing is a central function of business management. It is particularly concerned with the needs of (potential) customers. The aim is to include their wishes and expectations in all company decisions, and in this way to achieve certain company goals. The purpose behind this is to increase sales, i.e., to sell more of a product or service. Marketing is therefore also closely linked to the analysis, planning, implementation and control of corporate activities. The so-called marketing mix, which consists of product policy, pricing policy, distribution policy and communication policy, represents an important instrument for the marketing strategy of a company.
