Regardless of the
field you want to pursue, studying marketing can complete or bring new life to
your career path.
Marketing studies
gives a unique competitive advantage: You can learn how to promote yourself and
your work. After all, marketing studies helps you understand the true meaning
of value: The value of the product and the value of the person or brand that
delivers said product.
While trying to
make it as a young professional, standing out can be challenging; this is where
marketing studies takes the lead. The set of skills you can develop while
studying marketing can give you more confidence and turn you into a more
in-demand professional that can present yourself and your product or service in
a way nobody else can. Self-promotion is crucial to success.
Therefore, through
marketing studies, a young professional can understand the way competitors and
already established professionals perceive value in their field and use that to
their advantage to bring value to themselves and their skills.
After all, marketing
and marketing actions bring forth the standards that something — a product, a
service, anything — needs to meet to be successful, and create better
consumers. The same principle applies to professionals of any kind.
Consumer psychology
is the study of all the variants that influence a prospect's decision-making.
Since young professionals "sell" their skills, a prospect can be
anyone from a hiring manager to a classroom, if the person in question is a
teacher — a career path that is as far away from marketing as possible, in
everyone's mind.
Prospects make
decisions based on what they perceive as truth. A marketer in the making or
someone that has studied marketing can figure out the reasons behind that
decision-making process and go more in-depth, perhaps go beyond profit and help
others truly flourish.
Marketing studies
can help you understand how prospects go about making decisions about a product
or a service. These decisions are not based on the truth in and of itself, but
a version of the truth the prospects can grasp in relation to the product and
how it can better their lives.
Understanding that
perception allows you to use it to your advantage, as you can self-promote and
show the prospect why their services are useful. Even more so in a way that
they will welcome and understand, based on their lifestyle habits.
There is no field
that doesn’t use some marketing principles, especially in today's digital
world. From administrative positions to business management, marketing studies
are needed for various reasons that have nothing to do with
self-promotion.
Marketing is what
brings consumers and products together. Therefore, it can control the way an
organization or business functions. Since marketing skills are as versatile as
they are, companies look for them for their employees.
Business executives
need to know how to conduct marketing research that makes sense. Also,
salespeople need to understand why their product is good enough to stand out,
out of the variety of products out there that serve the same purpose. Even
those into product development need to understand core marketing principles, to
prioritize the needs of a new product and the features they will need to create
first.
Marketing is not
only advertising, after all. As evident by PLNU's business administration
program in marketing, marketing skills can be beneficial both to natural-born
communicators and to one's day-to-day life. Marketing skills are highly
transferable, and people who have them can apply them to all situations.
