Introduction of Study
Marketing involves the strategies and activities businesses use to promote, sell, and
distribute products or services to consumers. It encompasses market research,
advertising, branding, pricing, and customer engagement to attract and retain
customers. On the other hand, business development focuses on creating growth
opportunities through partnerships, expansion into new markets, strategic alliances,
and identifying new business prospects. Both marketing and business development
work together to drive revenue, increase market share, and foster long-term business
success.

OBJECTIVES
Research is an academic activity and such the term should be used in a technical
sense. According to Clifford Woody research comprises defining and redefining
problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting organizing
and evaluating data making deductions and reaching conclusions and at last
carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating
hypothesis. Research is thus an original contribution to the existing stock of
knowledge making for its advancement.
Selecting the problem:-
The research problem undertaken for study must be carefully selected. The task
is a difficult one although it may not appear to be so. Help may be taken from a
research guide in this connection. Nevertheless, every researcher must find out
his own salvation for research problems cannot be borrowed. A problem must
spring from the researchers mind like a plant springing from its own seed if our
eyes need glasses, it is not the
OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
What is marketing?
Marketing is a process that helps a business understand its brand or
marketplace from the perspective of its clients or customers, improving
the business and leading the firm to be successful in the future.
Successful marketing involves driving more customers to a company to
increase sales and leads.
Marketing professionals can help businesses identify potential new
customers and determine how to reach them effectively. Typically,
businesses work on developing marketing strategies after building their
development goals. To be successful in the field of marketing,
professionals must have a blend of creative and analytical skills as well as
the ability to advertise products and services in the right places using the
right tactics.
College degrees
Students who want to work in the field of marketing will often major in
advertising, marketing research, sales management or public relations.
Once they grasp marketing roles, they may choose a work specialty that
suits them and declare it their study area. Alternatively, students may
major in business management and choose marketing as their specialty.
Upon graduation, these students may apply for marketing roles.
To specialize in business development, students can pursue a bachelor of
science in accounting, business management, international trade,
communication management, advertising or a related major to increase
their business skills. Business development students may often take part
in events that help them gain development and management skills and
understand better strategies for managing customers. This may include
taking part in student organizations within the business development
department, student leadership and governance roles within the different
academic clubs.
Differentiation vs. connection
Marketing is about identifying your key differentiators to establish your
position within the market. The goal is to stand out to show how you are
different or better than your competitors. Whether you are working on
website content, promoting a specific event or drafting a press release,
creating high-quality messaging strategies can help you market the
company's services and products to new customers.
Business development, in contrast, is all about creating connections. It
builds upon the company brand that has been established through
marketing efforts to connect your audience to your services and products.
Its main focus may be networking events, getting leads and converting
those leads into customers via your sales team.
Creating relationships differently
Both the public relations and marketing team members need to create
relationships with their clients. The marketing team may develop
innovative ideas that connect them with customers and promote their
products and services through excellent relationships with their clients.
Integrating with many individuals in different areas can attract many
leads and increase company sales. For example, they can organize a
business development event that may incorporate other people and attract
them to the business.
Business development also requires you to interact with people and
partners while making connections. The way you interact with people
determines the relationships you make to attract leads. While you may
not get many opportunities to get into the field to connect with people
like the marketing team, you can develop strategies that connect you to
potential customers and improve your performance.
Timing of the impact
The marketing role is part of the day-to-day creation of revenue. As
inbound leads increase, the marketing team members send them to sales.
The sales team, in turn, review them and sends the best prospects on to
the company's best closers. This process happens daily to keep the
business operating. Most companies define marketing goals in quarterly
or annual terms.
Business development is more of a long-term project. This sector works
on strategic partnerships and new products that can take a year or more to
succeed. It may take months or years before a business development plan
begins to make a noticeable impact on revenue. It's essential to know that
business development focuses on the long-term future of the business.
Focus on current vs. future products
The marketing department focuses on the current products a company
offers. Its job is to sell customers products and services that can be
delivered to customers immediately. The business development
department uses technology and research to create future products or
alternative solutions for their customers.
The marketing department in a company that sells tools, for example,
would focus on marketing the current products and generating leads. The
business development department, meanwhile, would focus on improving
those products and creating new ones to offer in the future.
1. Generating Traffics and Good LeadsGenerating traffics and leads are the top
most crucial problems in marketing. When the day passes every time marketer
needs to find good leads and better traffics for the product & their services.So,
marketers are striving with producing and generating the traffic of interest for
their content whereas there are a lot of platforms for marketers to publish their
content and to promote the same.What could you do?When it comes to
producing enough traffic and leads, marketers should ask these two questions by
themselves
Are you truly creating high-quality content, for the type of content people would
pay for?
For example, HubSpot Research found that 43% of consumers wanted to see
more videos from marketers, while only 29% wanted to see only publications on
the blog.When you realize that you are creating the type of content your
audience wants, the focus is on promoting it so your audience gets to know
about the content. More than ever, people are flooded with content. Consumers
should not use a search engine to find answers. Instead, the articles complete
their news feed or buzz in their pocket by mobile notification.
4. Managing Website
Managing a website was the biggest challenge for marketers in 2016. And
chances are that the performance of your website is on the top of the list. This is
an asset that works 24 hours a day to attract visitors, convert them and help you
achieve your goals, after all.
Problems related to website management encompass various factors, from
writing and optimizing content to designing beautiful web pages. Here are a few
things that marketers can do to meet this challenge.
What could you do?
First, read this report to see how your website accumulates on more than a
million other sites. It also includes an in-depth analysis of the four most critical
elements of site performance and design, average load time and website
security, mobility and SEO.
If your main challenge with managing a website relates to the skills and
resources you have, you are not alone. This is especially true for small
businesses that do not possess all the talents needed to cover the content,
optimization, design and management of the website.
Marketing and business development, while crucial for organizational growth, face several
limitations:
Budget Constraints: Limited financial resources can restrict the scope and effectiveness of
marketing campaigns and business development initiatives.
Changing Consumer Behavior: Rapid changes in consumer preferences and behaviors can
make it challenging to predict and respond effectively.
Competition: Intense competition in most industries can make it difficult to stand out and
capture market share.
Data Privacy Concerns: Increasing awareness and regulations regarding data privacy can
limit the use of customer data for marketing purposes.
Short Product Lifecycles: Some industries experience short product lifecycles, requiring
businesses to constantly innovate to stay competitive.
Cultural and Regional Differences: Adapting marketing strategies to different cultures and
regions requires a nuanced approach to resonate with diverse audiences.
