Marketing Concepts
1. Marketing Concepts
There are various philosophical aspects which can give conceptual orientation to marketing personnel s approach.
1.1 Selling Concept
The selling concept assumes that the consumers will either not buy or not buy enough of an organization s products unless the organization makes a substantial effort to stimulate their interests in its products. This becomes all the more relevant when the organizations are functioning in a rich environment of competitors.
1.2 Product Concept
Product Concept in marketing philosophy assumes that the consumers will favor those products that offer best quality for the price, while production conceptassumes that consumers will favor those products which are available and affordable. An organization s task, therefore, should be to serve target markets in a way that produces not only want satisfaction, but long-run individual and social benefit as the key to attracting and holding customers.
