Fix Your Marketing Workshops:
The 6 P's -- The Building Blocks of Marketing

Build a solid foundation for your organization's marketing efforts

The six P's of marketing are the updated version of the tried-and-true 4 P's. Understanding each of the 6 P's and how to use them can help your marketing results skyrocket. We'll cover each of the 6 P's:

  1. Product - What should or shouldn't you offer? What is your real product?
  2. People - Who uses your product? What do they care about?
  3. Price - Can people afford your product or service? How do they value it?
  4. Place - How do people get to your product? Where is it distributed? How is it delivered?
  5. Production - Can you do what you promise? Can you meet demand? Is your production flexible enough to meet changing needs?
  6. Promotion - How do you let people know what you have? How well does your promotion work?

From this workshop, you'll get a solid understanding of the foundations of marketing strategy and how the pieces fit together. Whether you have a product or service, are profit-based or non-profit, the 6 P's can put you on the right track.
