Tools of marketing

Kotler coins the 3M’s which are major concepts and tools in marketing in this modern age. It includes the marketplace, the marketspace and the metamarket. Though these are all markets where products are sold and profits can be gained, these markets vary in scope. Many companies have embarked on these concepts and tools of marketing. Leaders in the field of metamarkets include innovative groups such as eBay. com, Yahoo Search Engines, travel companies such as Northwest Airlines and health and beauty shops such as Body Shop Inc.
