Completing the Definition of Marketing by Inserting the Given Verbs in the Gaps

[ design | develop | identify | influence | modify | persuade ]

  • Marketers have to identify or anticipate a consumer need; develop a product or service that meets the need better than any competing products or services; persuade target customers to try the product or service; and, in the long term, modify it to satisfy changes in consumer needs or market conditions.
  • Marketers can design particular features, attractive packaging, and effective advertising, that will influence consumer’s wants. Marketing thus begins long before the product or service is put on the market; it combines market research, new product development, distribution, advertising, promotion, product improvement, and so on.
