attention, acquisition (buying), use or consumption and that
might satisfy a need or want.

anything.

someone by offering something in return.

owning and using a product compared to the cost of

MARKETING & SELLING.
MARKETING is the process of determining
customer wants and then developing a
product to satisfy that need and still yield a
satisfactory profit. It is externally focused.
SELLING is producing a product and then trying to
persuade customers to purchase it in effect,
trying to alter consumer demand. It is
internally focused.
