The marketing mix is flexibleand can be adjusted on a frequent basis to meet the changing needs of the target group and the other dynamics of themarketing environment. It is important to understand that the Marketing Mix principles are controllable variables. Thedimensions of marketing mix go a long way towards the product management, customer data base, segmenting,targeting and positioning, which will be the main topics of this paper.
