Those are very good points of business today. especially the place and price. in today’s economy you really have to evaluate your prices more often then you normally would to make sure your staying in the loop, and it’s about time for most if not all businesses to re-evaluate their geographic areas of marketing, because what once was not their area of choice…maybe should be today.

Besides helping grow your business, the 4 P’s sound like a great way to also reevaluate and adjust a business which might be in a slump because of the recession.

Looking at the way business are growing today, a fifth dimension – ‘Participation’ seems to become important.
It lets the business view its consumers not merely as ‘consumers’ but as active partners in promoting business and giving feedback in improvements.
