WHAT IS MARKETING

Marketing is very general in daily life. From ancient time, we human are part of the marketing system. It is the system that made life easier for people. How does it happen? It is simple. Marketing people bring all the required things to the general people with a price (This price was the exchange of goods). Later on, when currency trends become popular, sharing of the goods become a profit-based business that happens on some marketing demands over a while. It evolves in the marketing culture or tradition. The world becomes small as traders spread across the globe.

But in the global period where people are purchasing a lot of stuff, it results from high-quality sales techniques with the resourceful marketing executive's help. There is a lot of tells in this segment. You need to keep some passions. I believe that you might be interested to know. Isn’t it?

According to the encyclopedia “Marketing is advertising, like those false or deceptive ads on television that try to get you to buy something that you don’t really want.”

In the other example of the same “Marketing is like those pushy car salespeople or those salespeople that come to our front doors selling overpriced vacuum cleaners.” it could be American or some other country examples, here I would like to give the simple example form India. “ A man who is definitely salesmen who come with the beautiful scheme that is 2000 rupees five electronic gadgets or the water purifier, washing powder (surf)or papers or pickles. if washing powder came in my mind who can I forget to tell you the “Nirma” most famous advertisement?

“I hate those rude telemarketers calling at all times of the day and night.”

Marketing is the skilled-based methods required the special methodological techniques? It is not easy for everyone to do the job? Many people say that marketing involves deceptive, high-pressure tactics to buy something they do not want. It is not agreeable. While marketing usually involves advertising or personal selling, marketing — practised correctly — should not try to get people to buy things they do not want, nor should marketers use deceptive or pushy tactics to get people to buy. marketing is the unique methods through that a good marketer is creating the trust of the customer with he highly satisfied methods with the proper pricing, promotion, and distribution.

The fundamental aspect of marketing is to satisfy the customer. A satisfied customer is an asset to the company. They are an indirect representative of the products or services. For example, the film “Rocket Singh: Salesmen of the year” is presented very well. How much customer satisfaction matters for the product or services? This film also shows that the market is shifting a lot, and it is required to change according to its trends.

Also, satisfied customers are more likely to purchase products repeatedly. Furthermore, satisfied customers are more likely to relate positive word-of-mouth to friends and acquaintances, increasing the chance to turn into sales to say that they will buy the firm’s product. Indeed, marketing is a process of developing and maintaining long-term exchange relationships with customers. Nevertheless, companies have not always practised this philosophy. But those who have some certain practices are in a win-win position.

Shifts on the digital platform

In the earlier period, there were multiple scopes to connect with people directly. Modernity and tech-friendly global period changed everything. People got so busy, and they are not easily available or accessible to reach directly due to none availability. Digital platforms or virtual platforms come with the evolution of the social digital platform that makes it easy to access them. According to digitalDeepak(Ref:https://digitaldeepak.com/about/ ), a new generation will use the only digital platform in his talk. Traditional techniques won’t be that effective as the target audience will completely disappear except few. But few are not in the considerations, as the wide range covers most of the vital/active customers that are highly sufficient for market demand. TV ads, radio advertisement and other old techniques shifts on the digital platform. What do we observe nowadays on the digital platform? Most of the ads are coming on social media or other platforms. Isn’t it?

Newspaper, tv program and others are full of advertisement that loss of customers interest. It is hard to find the right content that we are looking for? It represents that customers are interest-specific. For examples

Does this person want to buy the trimmer?

Of course!!! Yes. What AI thinks? Why does it think? There is nothing important about what we are looking for if we are looking for something. It means that we are interested in that thing, maybe now or in the future. It is a simple logic that the viewer has the interest to purchase in future. Here algorithm plays an important role. It shows, again and again, this segment of ads until the product is not purchased or the interest list is not changed. It is the simple AI marketing techniques where the system analyses the customer interest and save it in the database for future reference. The second step reminds the customer until the product is not sold or something like that product, it is what we may call an interest list.

What do you understand from these ads techniques?

AI (Artificial Intelligence) has an interest in our interest, means to say that AI is working as an observer to know whatever interests us, means to say that it follows us. Now, the Marketing agencies or benefactor play a crucial role here, and they are paying a lot for their ads on this platform. Even some agencies are creating content for people entertainment so that they can generate traffic. Also, most of the big venture do have their algorithm for the sales to its consumer. An example is above mentions where ads come to Sourrunded the content.

“Sales executive knows that when talking to a potential customer, they should be thinking from the perspective of the buyer’s journey, rather than their own seller’s process. However, not enough sales reps take it a step further by thinking about the buyer’s journey through the lens of the buyer’s thought process and psychology. In truth, the buyer psychology of how purchase decisions are made — why people buy — can be very enlightening and help a sales rep be more empathetic and, ultimately, more successful at their job.”

Free content and paid content :

Free Content :

Free Content, or free information, is a kind of work, artwork, or other creative content that does not have many legal restrictions about how people can use it. People have the liberty to use the content for personal use.

Paid Content:

The paid content, or paid information, is a kind of work, artwork, or other creative content with lots of legal restrictions about how people can use it. People have the liberty to use the content for personal use, but payment is required to use the service—examples of cable connection, books, etc.

Why there is a lot of traffic on the free content?

Bingo !!! Free,

It is free, then let’s try it. The general human assumption, free, people rush to get it. It is a simple human behaviour to get whatever even it is not important or useful to us. it is the same thing that is happening with “bumper Sales.”

Do you think free is available?

“In this world nothing is free.” By Narendra Singh / Naren (chercheur)

It is my personal opinion; there is a price for everything. A false assumption about the “price” that is stick with our brain. We are calculating with only money. Of course! It is the medium of trade. If you are not paying, then someone is paying for it. Now the question is, who is ‘someone’? It is a nice question. The answer is a benefactor who is going to pay for it. example: Doordarshan ads

How many people remember Doordarshan ads that used to come on the 80th-90th period?

It is a uni-directional advertising method, followed by the companies. Customers are always watching television or listening to the radio program. With the program, there is always some advertisement is coming. It’s completely free for the customers, but sales companies invest a huge amount in creating them and funding the tv entertain program too get the people's attention. It is monitored by the Doordarshan board, which manages all the advertisement activity.

What are marketers doing on the free content platform?

It is a play ground with with the huge amount of traffic “ people”. These marketros are here with the skillful techintiques forsales. It’s a open ocean with all type of people. Here, Marketing Executives or companies needs to do a simple task that is “catch a fish ”, means find a right person for the sales of product or services. Also, if the customer is so needy of such products or services will come to you automatically that’s calls “today seeds grows into fruit for tomorrow” means previous hard efferts will bring the fruitful result for tomorrow.

By
Narendra Singh/Naren(chercheur)

These are marketers looking for a potential customer for the sales, and they are paying for it. For example, Youtube ads, a video that has high traffic get more advertisement.

PMS( project management system):

Now, it is interesting to know what it is? It is a platform that the project organizer can manage with the help of a few technical teams. It can be possible on the digital platform. It is convincible that shifting to the digital platform is become more effective to manage multiple things on the same platform. For example, digitaldeepak/ Deepak kanakaraju (reference https://digitaldeepak.com/), the pixel track owner, uses the LMS (Learning management system) for teaching and managing the assignment for all the students. This particular technology made him a “one-man army” who can perform multiple tasks by himself at the same time.
