The 4Ps of Marketing:

The 4Ps of marketing has been propounded way back in the 1950s by E. Jerome McCarthy that came to be recognized as the most long-term of the marketing-mix frameworks. McCarthy regrouped the Borden's 12 elements into product, price, promotion and place. This is the most popularly acclaimed concept in marketing, thereby giving a central organized structure or the foundation for marketing activity. Every one of these elements can in its turn be regarded as a mix for instance a product mix, promotion mix and so forth. Initially MacCarthy defined marketing mix as a blend of all the factors at the control of the marketing manager in order to satisfy the marketing manager. Further, Baker in 1988 vied that it is the efficient management of the elements within the marketing mix which generates a strategic framework for marketing. In the opinion of Yudelson in 1999, the 4Ps of McCarthy gave a suitable nomenclature for the study and analysis of marketing. But in the present era which is marked by the proliferation of marketing beyond business to consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) into services and concept, an apprehension arose that the 4Ps was unable to relate to services.

It was Magrath who in 1986 was the first to hypothize that the 4Ps must be broadened to include personnel, physical facilities and process management. But, as shown from the above list, the 4Ps can be widened to include the factors whish is able to bind the 4Ps of a service orientation. According to Rafiq and Ahmed who have come with the suggestion that the most powerful till date the alternative frameworks is considered to be the Booms and Bitner's 7Ps of marketing. The 4Ps have been expanded by them to take into account participants who are frequently referred to as people, physical evidence and processes. In their initial article, Booms and Bitner had in mind that the additional three Ps to be limited to service marketing. But, Levitt in 1972 recommended that some industries are existent whose service element are greater or lesser compared to other industries.

Enis and Roering have suggested that a product is defined as a package of benefits that possesses tangible and intangible components and thus the frequently cited call for a unique service marketing strategy is dependable with such a definition of a product. In this case, the explanations of the expression 'product' are frequently regarded as interchangeable with service. Film marketing comes under the broad category "The arts." Under these categories are included pop and rock groups, discos, various music initiatives, symphony orchestra, artists, film and television production companies, movies, television serials and radio programs. All of these require promotion or marketing often in a B2B or B2C settings. For instance a production company shoots a television series and then markets it to the television companies which are the B2B component which thereafter is marketed to the viewers, who might then purchase in on DVD media which is the B2C component.
