+ar'eting %ix
The term "%ar'eting %ix" was coined in 1953 by Neil Borden in his American Marketing
Associationpresidential address. owe!er this was act#ally a re$orm#lation o$ an earlier idea by
his associate %ames lliton who in 19'( described the role o$ the marketing manager as a
"mixer
o$ ingredients" who sometimes $ollows recipes prepared by others sometimes prepareshis own recipe as he goes along sometimes adapts a recipe $rom immediately a!ailable
ingredients and at other times in!ents new ingredients no one else has tried. A prominent
marketer ). %erome Mc&arthy proposed a Four Pclassi$ication in 19*+ which has seen wide
#se.
,our Ps
)lements o$ the marketing mi, are o$ten re$erred to as the "Four P's" a phrase #sed since the
19*+-s

ser!ice based like the to#rism ind#stry2 the hotel ind#stryor codes/based prod#cts like
cellphone load and credits. Typical e,amples o$ a mass prod#ced tangible obect are the

:obert @. a#terborn proposed a $o#r &s classi$ication in 1993. The @o#r &s model is more
cons#mer/oriented and attempts to better $it the mo!ement $rom mass marketing to niche

romotion is tr#e that prod#cts are man#$act#red to satis$y the needs o$ the cons#mers..
B#t alone is not eno#gh. Today the responsibility o$ the man#$act#rers does not cease with
