 The Marketing Mix

Think of a cake

All cakes need 4 things- floor, egg,

sugar, milk

However, you can play with the

flavour of your cake by changing
the ingredients slightly

- Example:
sweeter cake- add more sugar

The Marketing Mix

Another way to think about the

Marketing mix is to use the image
of an artists palette

The marketer mixes the prime

Colors (Mix elements) in different
quantities to deliver a particular
colour.

Every hand painted picture is original

in same way, as is every marketing mix
