The 4 Ps vs. The 4 Cs The 4 Ps [old] The 4 Cs [new] Product Consumer Price Cost Promotion Communication Place Convenience © Copyright 2011. CMarie Marketing Studio. C: COMMUNICATION Marketing in the new economy is much more about creating a dialogue with your potential customer, rather than selling and marketing to a “prospect.” It’s about inviting feedback, creating a dialogue, being receptive to ideas, and responding to needs; then presenting your product or service in response to what you have learned through these various interactions. © Copyright 2011. CMarie Marketing Studio. SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING The marketing mix has moved from a monologue to a dialogue. Activities that integrate technology, telecommunication, and social interaction. A way to exchange information through the use of clicks and uploads. The connective tissue of society. No one activity is effective by itself; choose the ones that make sense for your business, then integrate them. © Copyright 2011. CMarie Marketing Studio.

Example: Grobanites for Charity Began as a group of Josh Groban fans on Facebook. A fan had an idea to “pass the hat” and collect money for a birthday gift for Josh Groban. The gift was to donate the money to a charity in his name. It’s now an official charitable organization that has raised almost $1 million since its inception in 2002. http://www.grobanitesforcharity.org/ about/funds.html Operated completely by volunteers; 100% of donations go to the charities.
