In the world of marketing, the good news is that marketing takes a day to learn. The bad news is that it takes a lifetime to master. Explain?

GOOD ONE RAAFAT,,,, YES THATS RIGHT,,, DAY TO DAY CHANGE IN MARKET DEMANDS , CHANGE IN MEDIUM OF MARKETING ,,,PRESSURE IN COMPETITION,,, DEFINATION & MEANINGS ARE GOING TO BE CHANGE========== IN MY MBA CLASSES BACK IN1995 ,,, NOW ALL THE TERMS HAS BEEN CHANGED============= NOW WE HAVE TO COPE UP ON DAILY BASIS,,, GOOD DAY

Successful Marketing means if you have been able to feel the pulse of market and customer and transform it into sales of the product.The Marketing has to be in vogue with the demand of customer and has to be updated and tailored as per the need of the customer and one marketing strategy cannot last life time.

I just want to add marketing is applied science and each indevidual has his own style. Each persons style is independent. When I was into venue selling my manager would tell me to memorise the points of benifit of the resort and say it is a sizzling way as if I was there enjoying in the resort. There would a light music and dim lights. I would just speak of waht hapened at the resort. How every one was having fun and my manager told me do not make up anything as you are not good at that do not tell the prices just say what u feel. Acording to him i had an innocent face and the guests would trust me. I did as I was told to do and20-30 mins letter the manager would take over and close the sale with the credit card no.

Marketing is generally viewed as having a low threshold; anyone can do marketing, seemingly. But not anyone can do good & effective marketing.

It's a dynamic discipline that is changing every now and then, new strategies are born and old ones are either changed or abandoned.

"Lifetime mastery" of marketing in my view only relates to the ability to adapt quickly, appropriately & effectively to changing environments, and does not necessarily mean the memorization & application of clear cut rules. As a matter of fact, anyone can make their own (new) rules and make them a new set standard for others as long as it works in a given context. 

Marketing is an art and mastering a complete knowledge of art not possible. A person never ceases to be knowledgeable as long as he continues to learn. But when he ceases seeking knowledge, and thinks he has sufficient knowledge and doesn't need more, then he is in the most ignorant state he can be.

a product is like a human being with complete lifecycle at each stage different marketing strategy is needed to move the product forward... consider the VHS OR BMW CAR each year the company strive to redefine the product for better satisfaction in order to retain their market.. or face being faced out of the market through innovation like VHS... marketing is a long life process it lives along with the product from birth to development maturity decline or death...

Successful Marketing means if you have been able to feel the pulse of market and customer and transform it into sales of the product.

Marketing is the sea can not end it ... every day there is something new about it.

That's my thinking about it...

Thank you for the invitation 

We learn every day in the field of marketing experience and wishes of different customers, so you can put the marketing strategies appropriate for each individual product as well as each market and unreasonable policy marketing for a product successful in the market on the other product market last Each product or market strategy and mix marketing appropriate HE administration and marketing are available at the success of the product in the market

Agreed to Zafar and Virandavan. Already a pointed answer no need to add more.

I said  before in a similar  question  that  marketing  includes  all the activities  needed  to  complete  the  exchange  between  the  marketer  and  buyer so its important  to  konw  daily  all changes relating  to the product  market , consumers , competition ..etc

Simply  marketing is every  thing for all  different  kinds of  organizations, even  for   that  which  do not care about  profit.

Thank you Raafat
