Also, my five star Amazon-rated book, Small Business Marketing: A Guide for Survival, Growth, and Success, covers more detail regarding Kotler’s marketing definition.  If you’re looking for a good business book to read, my book can help.  It’s key that one knows how to turn the definition of marketing into revenue.  This book covers internet marketing including SEO and elements that make a good website, social media marketing, marketing time management, green marketing, and much more.

I was raised on marketing with Dr. Philip Kotler.  In fact, the first marketing class I took in graduate school used this text book.  In many respects, Kotler is my marketing hero, as he is for many who have read his work.  Your thoughts on Dr. Kotler’s definition of marketing?  Does this 1991 definition apply to current social media trends?  Social media did not exist when he wrote this definition.  It exists now.  Traditional principles apply to the present as well as the future.  Old rules applied to new tools.

Now go define then refine your marketing.  Remember: Marketing Is A Verb…
