The term developed from the original meaning which referred literally to going to market, as in shopping, or going to a market to buy or sell goods or services.<br /><br />Marketing practice tends to be seen as a creative industry, which includes advertising, distribution and selling. It is also concerned with anticipating the customers' future needs and wants, which are often discovered through market research. Seen from a systems point of view, sales process engineering views marketing as a set of processes that are interconnected and interdependent with other functions, whose methods can be improved using a variety of relatively new approaches. -<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing">wikipedia<br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/465278553424888563-6323331513196267028?l=imthebestmerchant.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Merchel Granthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06628108954430955288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465278553424888563.post-17109467569861432992009-05-13T19:00:00.000-07:002009-05-13T19:00:00.854-07:00<p>If you’re looking for an effective way to increase your customer base, then you should definitely consider accepting credit cards.

If they can purchase from you or request a service from you anytime they need, customers would most likely be making more purchases and requesting for more services from your business. If your customers feel that your business is a reliable establishment that accepts a business credit card at all times, they will never bother going to a different merchant.
