Marketing is defined as the process of lecturing consumers why they should choose your product or service over your competitors. If you are not doing that you are not marketing. It’s really that simple! The key is finding the right marketing method and defining the right marketing message to use to educate and influence your consumers.Companies make the mistake of thinking that marketing is just “one” thing, but marketing is everything that the consumer encounters when it comes to your business, from advertising, to what they hear, to the customer service that they receive, to the follow-up care that you provide.It’s all marketing and creating the decision within the consumer whether or not to choose you initially or for repeat business.

Marketing is often confused with advertising and sales, but it is important to know the key differences. These articles will give you a better understanding of marketing, advertising, and sales roles:On the first day in many Marketing 101 courses, professors often define "marketing" as "all the processes involved in getting a product or service from the manufacturer or seller to the ultimate consumer." This includes creating the product or service concept, identifying who is likely to purchase it, promoting it and moving it through the proper selling channels. Marketing is identified using what are called the 4 P's or mix of marketing: Product, Price, Promotion and Place. Starting with products, companies have many procedures they must undertake to ensure their products are ready for selling. The first stage is called the "ideation stage", where the idea for the product is conceived.

Then, marketing departments usually test new product concepts with focus groups and surveys to ascertain interest levels among potential buyers. If the interest level is high, marketers may then sell products on a limited basis to track sales. If product sales are high, products are rolled out on a national level. Before products go to the market, companies must decide what styles, sizes, flavors and scents they should sell and the packaging designs they should use. Consumers have much input in these decisions. Price is also tested through focus groups and surveys. Companies must know the optimal price to sell their products to achieve maximum return. One way to determine price is to set it at a level comparable to competitors; that is if the company can recover all product associated expenses and still make a profit. If the company is introducing a new product that has never existed, they have to determine how much the consumer is willing to pay for it. Customers will pay so much for products.

Answer: When an application is pending a decision it means that your school has received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The admissions office may have reviewed your application package or may not have.

The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.

To avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
