Marketing

I believe that, even if you are not majoring in marketing or pursuing that as a career, a course in that field can be very helpful.  Marketing is a tool used anywhere and everywhere with any company that you can think of; marketing is the tool behind getting the product into the customers hands.  Degrees such as Art or Graphic Design use marketing.  For example, we have a student in my Management information Systems class that is trying to come up with a product and launch it into the market; marketing will be a big backbone in trying to do so.  This student will need to come up with a target market which he will be advertising his product to, ways to show these people his product etc.  These are all tools that marketing uses and that are helpful to any business.  I work at a hospital in the kitchen and the website for the hospital is always changing and updating what's going on so that people know, and are informed.  Marketing is used all over the world and, I think, that it is the backbone to any successful business.  What do you think of Marketing, do you think that a business could survive with little to no marketing going on?

Myself as a Product

Product: MCH Food Serverices, I'm a cook-supervisor at a hospital kitchen.  I do everything from prep-cook work to making dinner for staff/patients.  I am a hard worker and very charismatic; I take pride in the cooking that I do, always taking the time I need to so that it looks as best as it can.  My employers would give me a high recommendation.
Place: The hospital kitchen that I work in has extremely good food; the location isn't somewhere you want to come for dinner however since we are located in a hospital.  But, say you have an appointment, are visiting someone, come on down to eat a nice lunch or dinner.  The cafeteria is roomy and homy for a nice dinner while visiting a family member.
Price: We have a very reasonable price for the food that we offer.  We also always have a hot soup, a hot steam table that has multiple entree's and sides along with a full salad and deli bar.  Both the salad and deli are weighed at .33 cents an oz along with our delicious soft serve ice cream!
Promotion: We have a couple different promotions that we do.  The first promotion is that if you want to go in and see a family member you can get one meal for free with them.  The second one is a meal deal in the cafeteria, this usually consists of one of the entree's from that day, two sides and a large fountain soda.
I feel that the four p's here are very closely related to each other and that you must be able to use them all to be successful, do you agree?  Are the four p's even related at all?
