Can you tell me what is the exact difference between marketing and selling?

Question

This question is from marketing point of view

Answer 1

marketing is looking at a specific demographic group - while selling is just that

Answer 2

Marketing is creating awareness for your product or service. Selling is generating revenue from the product or service (i.e) convincing someone that it solves their problem and worth spending money for.

Marketing activities include builing a message, creating awareness (but putting out press releases etc.), creating a brand, finding what customers need, creating a PR campaign, setting the pricing, competitive analysis, positioning the product against competition etc.

Selling activities include cold calling or answering incoming customer requests for information and questions, helping customers make buying decisions, demonstrating products, closing the sale, collecting the money etc.

In a completely web based product line, the difference gets a little fuzzy.

Answer 3

marketing is the process of comeing up with the ads to place targeting whatever group you will sell to, You can have many different avenues to market your product, Television, radio, newspaper, flyers, word of mouth, and so on. Selling however is basically being the person with the product and trying to exchange the product for other goods, like cash, or other goods you think is a fair trade.

Answer 4

If you purchase 100 shares of stock at $3 per share, you can place a sell order in for $4 per share and walk away from your computer. If the stock goes up to $4, it will automatically sell. Say you are concerned that the stock will fall below $3 per share (while you are away) or further. If you don't want to wait and see whether the stock goes back up again and you want to assure yourself that your loss will be minimal, you could put a stop order in at $2.50 (for instance) and the stock will sell at that mark. This works well when you are spending a substancial amount of money in one stock and is used often by day traders who want to buy and sell the same stock in the same day. That is my understanding.

Answer 5

Marketing in executing a series of campaigns whose goal is to give exposure to company or product. It entails a plan to yield your desired results. For example, you want let the public know about your new product, the Super Widget. Because you don't have allot of money, your marketing plan has to be cost effective. First, you can launch a telemarketing campaign. Another cost effective method is to make postcards, acquire a listing a rich clientele, and mailing your postcards to this target the specific audience you want.

Sales utilizes the "hits" from your marketing plan and attempts to get them to buy your product. Some forms of sales can include Internet sites or door to door sales in your community.

Answer 6

Selling is only one part of marketing. Marketing includes advertisement, delivering products etc etc

Answer 7

To cut the chase, selling originates from the manufacturers; whereas marketing orginates from the end user i.e. understanding what customers want and delivering exactly the same.
