The term "marketing mix" became popularized after Neil H. Borden published his 1964 articles entitled the concept of the “marketing mix”.

It has to have the right features. For example, it has to look good and work well. It also has to be appropriate to the market segment the firm is trying to sell to.

Firms now tend to be market oriented. This means that they are flexible and adaptable to the demands of the market. They aim to change the product as necessary to satisfy their customers.
