CRITICISM OF 4P’S
It is too product focused and doesn't translate well into the
growing service based economy we live in.
An equally relevant criticism is the internal focus
The traditional marketing mix is pushing product into the
marketplace and not pulling products out of the potential
suppliers based on these needs and wants through market
research.
So there have been attempts to develop an 'extended
marketing mix' to better accommodate specific aspects of
marketing.
in the 1970s, Nickels and Jolson suggested the
inclusion of packaging.
In the 1980s Kotler proposed public opinion and
political power
While, Booms and Bitner included three additional 'Ps'
to accommodate trends towards a service or knowledge
based economy, altogether they form the Extended
Marketing Mix

5.PEOPLE
People are the most important element of any service or
experience.
Services are performed by people whose performance
influences the quality of the service delivered and
perceived to be delivered.
Recruiting the right staff and training them appropriately
in the delivery of their service is essential if the
organisation wants to obtain a form of competitive
advantage.
Consumers make judgments and deliver perceptions of the
service based on the employees they interact with.
Staff should have the appropriate interpersonal skills,
aptititude, and service knowledge to provide the service
that consumers are paying for.
Some ways in which people add value to an experience, as
part of the marketing mix - training, personal selling and
customer service.

assist the organisation in
delivering the service

ordinated to improve the customer experience and
