INTRODUCTION
Marketing is defined by American Marketing Association [AMA] as “the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.”
Broadly “marketing is a social and managerial process by which individuals and organizations obtain what they want through creating and exchanging value with others.”
Marketing has always been one of the most important and decisive tool in determining the sales and success of a particular company.
