TERM : 4 P’ S OF MARKETING
• The 4 p’s of Marketing The term "marketing mix" became popularized
after Neil H Borden published his 1964 article,
• The Concept of the Marketing Mix. Borden began using the term in his
teaching in the late 1940s after James Culliton had described the
marketing manager as a "mixer of ingredients". The ingredients in
Bordens marketing mix included product planning, pricing, branding,
distribution channels, personal selling, advertising, promotions,
packaging, display, servicing, physical handling, and fact finding and
analysis.
• E. Jerome McCarthy later grouped these ingredients into the
four categories that today are known as the 4 Ps of marketing
