Every business is a marketing business. Agree? 🤔

Question

90% of everything a business does is marketing. If not, it has failed already.

Mayuri Maokar · Accepted Answer

I think there's a lot of truth to the statement that "every business is a marketing business." Even if a company doesn't have a dedicated marketing department, every interaction, product, and touch point contributes to how the business is perceived and communicated to the world.

In today's crowded and competitive landscape, effective marketing is essential for any organization looking to attract customers, stand out from the competition, and ultimately drive growth and success.

Answer

Marketing is definitely vital, but I think it’s also about creating a great product or service. Effective marketing can amplify success, but a solid foundation is what keeps a business sustainable.

Answer

I agree that marketing is essential, but I see it as a tool rather than the whole picture. It’s crucial, but it needs to be paired with a strong business model and customer focus to be truly effective

💯.. whatever you do or whichever manner you use to communicate the business to someone else , is marketing

Dev Leo · Answer

I agree that every business is a marketing business because no matter how good your product or service is, if people don’t know about it, it won’t succeed. Effective marketing is what drives awareness and growth. For example, when considering marketing packages for small business, it’s essential to tailor strategies that fit the needs and budget of smaller companies, helping them compete in the marketplace. In the end, marketing is the key to connecting with customers and building a sustainable business.

Muhammad Sheraz · Answer

Absolutely agree! Every business, regardless of industry, relies on effective marketing to attract customers and grow. Whether through traditional advertising or digital strategies, marketing is the engine that drives visibility and engagement. Investing in marketing packages for small business can make a huge difference, offering tailored solutions that help businesses reach their audience and stand out in a crowded market. Without marketing, even the best products or services can go unnoticed.

Answer

Absolutely, marketing is at the heart of every business.

However, the current scenario demands innovation on the marketing and distribution side of things. We like in a world of hyper-personalisation and unless there's communication about how 'great' the product is, there's no great product. I mean priming users about it being great makes the product great.

Yup. It's not the whole picture, just 90% of it is.
Remaining 10% is the product and the business model. Ironically, everyone is doing the opposite of this. 90% of people are spending 90% of everything on the product and honestly, what's unique today?

Answer

Marketing is definitely 90%+ of the game these days. Heck, even most products seem like they're mostly just vehicles for marketing campaigns and data collection to enable more marketing. If you aren't absolutely crushing it at marketing across every channel 24/7, you're toast. The product is becoming an afterthought. But maybe that means there's a big opportunity for the few who nail an amazing product that markets itself? Idk, just spitballing here, would love to hear others' takes!
