The job of every single business on the planet is to do just one thing—to make people happy. When you find ways to do that, you win. The two most important things we can do are to allow ourselves to be seen AND to really see others.

Putting people at the center of your marketing efforts ensures that your messages resonate on a human level. It’s about being relatable and approachable. 	“The best marketing speaks to the human, not just the consumer.”

Human-centered

Empathy drives innovation in marketing. By understanding and empathizing with customers’ needs, you can create products and campaigns that truly resonate. 	“Empathy is the key to unlocking innovative marketing solutions.”

Empathy

Trust is the currency of modern marketing. Brands that earn and maintain their customers’ trust will thrive, while those that lose it will struggle to survive. 	“Trust is earned in drops but lost in buckets.”

Trust

Listening to your customers is more important than talking at them. Understanding their feedback and acting on it shows that you value their input. 	“Listening is the most underrated skill in marketing.”

Listening

Your brand narrative should be compelling and cohesive, telling the story of who you are, what you stand for, and why customers should care. 	“Your brand’s story is your most powerful asset—tell it well.”

Brand Narrative

Perception shapes reality in marketing. How your brand is perceived by the public can be more important than the reality of what you offer. 	“Marketing is the art of creating the right perception.”

Perception

Authenticity is critical in marketing. It’s about being true to your brand’s values and showing customers the real you, not just a polished façade. 	“Authenticity is the most powerful marketing tool because it builds trust.”

Authenticity

The future of marketing lies in personalization and human connection. As technology evolves, so too will the ways brands interact with their audiences. 	“The future of marketing isn’t about more technology; it’s about more humanity.”

Future of Marketing

Simplicity in messaging and design can be incredibly powerful. It’s about cutting through the noise with clear, straightforward communication. 	“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

Simplicity

Marketing isn’t just about transactions; it’s about forming emotional connections. People remember how a brand makes them feel, and those feelings drive their purchasing decisions. 	“People don’t buy products; they buy the emotions those products evoke.”

Emotional Connection

The small details in how you present your brand and interact with customers can make a big difference. Paying attention to these nuances can set you apart from the competition. 	“Success in marketing often comes down to sweating the small stuff.”

Small Details

In today’s crowded market, it’s not enough to offer a good product. You need to create meaningful experiences that enrich your customers’ lives and leave a lasting impression. 	“A memorable experience is the difference between a one-time purchase and a lifelong customer.”

Meaningful Experiences

Brands that stand for something bigger than their products connect more deeply with customers. Purpose-driven marketing is about aligning your brand with a cause that matters. 	“When you stand for something, your customers will stand with you.”

Purpose-driven

True marketing success comes from deeply understanding what your customers need and desire. It’s about empathy—putting yourself in their shoes to better serve them. 	“When you know what your customers really want, you don’t have to sell to them—they’ll come to you.”

Customer Needs

Craft your brand’s story to resonate deeply, connect emotionally, and build lasting loyalty. (The real author name is Bernadette Jiwa).

Marketing is the process of communicating the value of a product to customers, for the purpose of selling that product (goods or services). Another simple definition of "marketing" is "managing profitable customer relationships".Marketing can be looked at as an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, delivering and communicating value to customers, and customer relationship management that also benefits the organization. Marketing is the science of choosing target markets through market analysis and market segmentation, as well as understanding consumer behavior and providing superior customer value. From a societal point of view, marketing is the link between a society's material requirements and its economic patterns of response. Marketing satisfies these needs and wants through exchange processes and building long term relationships.Market and Marketing1.1 Meaning of market1.2 Marketing1.3 Objectives of Marketing1.4 Importance of Marketing to the Society1.5 Merchandising1.6 Selling1.7 Distribution1.8 Goods1.9 Services1.10 Modern Marketing1.11 Features of Modern Marketing2 Marketing System2.1 Definition2.2 Marketing ProcessEssentials of MarketingMarketing Functions3.1 Classification:4 Pricing4.1 What is Price?4.2 Pricing Objectives4.3 Procedure for Price Determination4.4 Price Leader4.5 One price or Variable Price4.6 Resale Price Maintenance5 Branding and Packaging5.1 Branding5.2 Packaging6 The Promotional Programme6.1 Forms of Promotion
