1. PROJECT REPORT ON MARKETING MIX
2. INTRODUCTION OF MARKETING MIX Marketing mix is a business
tool used in marketing and by marketing professionals. It is a set of
actions, tactics that a company uses to promote its brand or product
in the market. The term Marketing Mix was developed by Neil
Borden who first started using the phrase in 1949. “An executive is a
mixer of ingredients, who sometimes follows a recipe as he goes
along, sometimes adapts a recipe to the ingredients immediately
available, and sometimes experiments with or invents ingredients
no one else has tried." Definitions: According to Philip Kotler , “ A
marketing mix is the mixture of controllable marketing variables
that the firm uses to pursue the sought level of sales in the target
market.” According to Neil H. Borden,” The marketing mix is the set
of marketing tools that the firm uses to pursue its marketing
objectives in the target market.”
3. TARGET MARKET OF DELL Dell Currently Target Two Markets:
Large To Mid-size Business: 1. 36 to 50 year old 2. Upper Middle To

4. TYPES OF MARKETING MIX
5. MARKETING MIX OF DELL AND APPLE
6. Dell first logo from 1984 to 1989 Dell traces its origins to 1984,
when Michael Dell created PC's Limited while a student of the
University of Texas at Austin. The dorm-room headquartered
company sold IBM PC- compatible computers built from stock
components. Dell dropped out of school to focus full- time on his
fledgling business, a"er getting about $300,000 in expansion-capital
from his family. In 1985, the company produced the first computer of
its own design, the Turbo PC, which sold for $795. PC's Limited
advertised its systems in national computer magazines for sale
directly to consumers and custom assembled each ordered unit
according to a selection of options. The company grossed more than
$73 million in its first year of operation.

areas served Headquarters Current CEO Revenue Profit Employees
Main Competitors Dell Inc. Computer hardware, Computer so"ware,
IT consulting, IT services Worldwide U.S. Michael Dell $ 63.07 billion
(2012) $ 3.49 billion (2012) 110,000 Apple Inc., Samsung Electronic
Co., Ltd., Lenovo Group Limited, Hewlett- Packard Company, Sony

interact with community. It’s the way we interpret the world around
us- our customer needs, the future of technology, and the global
business climate. Whatever changes the future may bring our vision
– Dell vision – will be our guiding force. So Dell needs full customer
satisfaction. In order to become the most successful computer
company, they need the newest technology and loyal customers.

computer company in the world at delivering the best customer
experience in markets we serve. In doing so, Dell will meet customer
expectations of : . Highest quality .Leading technology .Competitive
pricing .Individual and company accountability .Best-in- class
service and support .Flexible customization capability . Financial
stability
9. MARKETING MIX OF DELL Product: Dell believes that, ‘Marketing
is not about providing products or services, it is essentially about
providing changing benefits to the changing needs and demands of
the customer’. Dell designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells,
and supports a wide range of products that in many cases are
customized to individual customer requirements. A few examples of
products for individual and professional customers are Dell
Precision workstations, Dimension desktops, and Latitude
notebooks. Price: Pricing strategies usually change as the product
passes through its life cycle, because there is constrains on the
company’s freedom to price a product at di!erent stage. The main
objective of Dell is to produce the low price and profitable PC for the
customers. For the above reason Dell’s product pricing reflects the
a!ordability of the local consumers. Because Dell products are so
customizable , the price is largely dependent on the options and
services added to the product. Dell is undercutting competitors in
price to rapidly gain market share.
10. Place: Place is also known as channel, distribution, or
intermediary. It is the mechanism through which goods and/or
services are moved from the manufacturer / service provider to the

available at the nearest dealer’s customers develop trust for the
“local Dell” thereby achieving the objective of gaining their trust in
Dell products and services, and forming a large and diversified
consumer base. Promotion: Another one of the 4 P’s is promotion.
This includes all the tools available to the marketer for ‘marketing
communication’. Dell in the past have not concentrated on extensive
marketing campaigns but these revolutionaries in 1999 when Dell
changed its tactics by engaging in extensive marketing campaigns.
Dell markets its products primarily by advertising on television and
the Internet, advertising in a variety of print media, and mailing or
emailing a broad range of direct marketing publications, such as
promotional materials, catalogs, and customer newsletters. Dell has
recently started promoting its products through retailers like Best
Buy, Staples, Wal-Mart, GOME, and Carrefour.
11. People: People refer to all people directly or indirectly involved
in the consumption of a service, example employees or other
consumers, Physical Evidence: Physical evidence that related to the
environment in which the service is delivered, and the tangibles that
