P3 Marketing mix of the Wilkinson and difference between another company and Wilkinson's
marketing mix
Marketing mix is about putting the right product or a combination thereof in the
place, at the right time, and at the right place. In the competitive market, to grow, a business
need to provide consumers what they want, at a price they are satisfied with, when they want it
and make a profit for the organisation. Wilkinson Found that their main factor of marketing and
growth can be in student sector. Through this not only covered the particular needs of its target
group[, but also linked closely with the company's total goals, and objectives. The key elements
that require to be in place for business planning are: Aims, It is explain the total goals of a
business, Objectives, This is the step which managers decide requirement to be taken for achieve
the total aims (Terho H. and Böhm E. 2017). Planning and strategy is master plan which focus on

internal and external target. Main and important part of the Wilkinson are aims, objectives,
strategy and tactics. These all actors plays the valuable role in the Wilkinson organisation. It is
the music company and there are lot of competitor in the market, but Wilkinson is the best music
company in the industry (Kiel I. H. 2014). It gives fun and soul to their users. When people listen
their music, they lost in themselves, because of different types of music. Strategies may be to
combat competition, to improve the position of the Wilkinson in the industry or market to grow
the business. Marketing plans may focus on the development of the goods and services. Doing
more of what a business already does carries least risk developing a completely new product for
a new people carries the most risk both in term of time and costs. Wilkinson's marketing
strategies are as good as their music which listed by the audience. There are some marketing mix
