What marketing mix means in Social Media
Product defines what is being sold and what jobs it does for the customer — features, quality, branding, and positioning relative to alternatives. Price sets not just revenue per unit but perceived value and competitive placement; pricing strategy (cost-plus, value-based, penetration, skimming) is a positioning decision as much as a financial one. Place covers distribution — the channels through which customers can find and purchase the product, whether physical retail, direct-to-consumer ecommerce, or platform marketplaces.
