CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
The people understanding of marketing have in most times been
restricted to marketing of tangible products. Taking marketing to only
applying to distributive trade and those activities that are involved in the
marketing and distribution of manufactured goods.
However, broader strategic and conceptual philosophy recognizes
and sees marketing to also applying to services firms like laundry hospitals,
banking, insurance, legal services, as well as hotel
Due to greater changes needs of man. The urge for
acquisition of tangible products has not been dominating in the satisfaction of
human wants or needs. There has a greater demand for services which helps
to sustain the life of man, the need for legal services, entertainment,
transportation etc.
This has also given rise to the establishment of many firms to
take care pf these needs.
For the greater satisfaction of human needs and maximum profit for
service industries, there is need for these companies to understand that their
survival is based o effective and efficient satisfaction of their
consumers. The needs and wants, attitudes and life style must be well
understood so as to bring about a better operation in their work.
Service companies
should also understand their “Services account for close to on behalf of the
consumer expenditure” and that also even firms themselves spend most of their
working capital on services like maintenance, credit service
These Therefore mean that
service firms would recognize the
essence of marketing to be able to
satisfy the customer need
There is need at this stage to explain what marketing in services
industries.
Marketing has been defined as “The set of activities that
facilitate exchange transactions involving economic goods and services” service
industries must therefore recognize the idea.
But due to the nature of services the only thing that should be
understood is that although marketing is everything the application to services
industry will take a different farm only that the aim still remains the same,
the customer satisfaction profit motive and proper co – ordination of the
marketing related activities.
Service industry are firms that engage in creating
satisfaction through , offer of non – tangible things.
Most of these firms have practiced marketing without knowing what
they are doing, The emphasis should be that these firms should understand
that there is a great need for them to identify and bring in marketing to their
activities in a more sophistical and outward manner.
According to Philip Kotler in his books marketing management,
analysis, he defined marketing “as a social process by which individuals and
groups organization obtain what they need through creating and exchanging
products and services with others
From all the above definitions, we can understand
the core marketing and his functions
The satisfaction of customer is regarded
as supreme management of services firm should
therefore not just know that customer’s are
very important in the operation but should
see marketing as one of the most
important management function needed for survival
and growth.
The study should therefore concentrate on the place of marketing
in the service industries but with emphasis on hotel business the laundry and
dry cleaning firms in Enugu.
