Marketing is defined using Kotmer\u2019s famous definition as\u00a0“Human activity directed at satisfying needs and wants through an exchange process.”<\/em>\u00a0The needs of a consumer can also be described as feelings of deprivation, and marketers make consumers aware of these needs that they are being deprived of. Marketers can also influence a consumers wants. A person may need transportation, but marketing makes them want a Mercedes-Benz.<\/p>\n

The most important part of Marketing is the exchange process. For an exchange process to occur, five conditions must be met: There must be at least two parties, each party has something that could be of value to the other, each party is capable of communication and delivery, each party is free to accept or reject the offer and each party believes it is desirable to deal with the other party. If all conditions are met then an exchange process can occur. In our fair market system, the exchange process is the desired method.<\/p>\n
