Marketing management philosophy as a mother has five children. The first one favors the availability of himself – and is named the Production Concept. The second one focuses on his characteristics and performance – and is named the Product Concept. The third one focuses on his promotion – and is named the Selling Concept. The fourth one focuses on the satisfaction of customers – and is named the Marketing Concept. The fifth one considers the society’s long-run interest – is named the Societal Marketing Concept.

We live on the edge of the world where we continuously glue our eyes onto different kinds of screens, starting from the mini smart watch screen to the giant screen in the street. But mostly, the cell phone and computer screen are in the front row. The rise of the internet has also given a new taste to this recipe. Even entertainment through television has decreased hugely due to the intensification of the digital world.

Nowadays at the digital pace, information is abundant and freely available. Even happens when we are encountered with so much information and we have little attention to focus on a particular thing. On the other side of the coin, here comes the opportunity. Business organizations now compete to get the customer’s attention rather than selling that information which are easily available.

As a theory of adjustment, every organization practicing marketing activities is going to adjust to digital marketing to the required needs, wants, and demands of its customers since digital marketing is going to shape the future of marketing.
