product / service at the best price, anywhere you can, using suitable promotion or advertising.
Your existing and potential customers are referred to as your ‘market’
What is the ‘Marketing Mix?
The marketing mix or the 5 Ps of marketing are:
- Product: your product or service
- Price: the price you will charge
- Place: where you will sell your product / service
- Promotion: how you will promote your product / service to potential customers
- Packaging: your product packaging
Just like a cake, your marketing plan should be made up of different ingredients. For example, just as all cakes contain ingredients such as eggs, flour, milk, sugar – your marketing plan should contain all of your 5 Ps.

Most of you are probably using these already to communicate with your friends – why not do the same to communicate with your customers?
Some ideas to get you started:
Set up a website for your mini-company with a Bebo, Facebook, Google Pages or My Space page.
Set up a blog using Bebo or My Space blog feature, the Facebook ‘Notes’ feature or set up a separate blog on wordpress.com or blogger.com.
Upload photos of your product(s) to websites like Flickr, Slideshare and Ovi.
Make a short promotional video and upload You Tube. You can then embed this video on your Bebo, My Space or Facebook webpage.
