Marketing - Selling

We have finished all the course material for the year.  The last major topic we cover was Marketing.  As a class, we broke down each of the 4 P's of Marketing in detail; Product, Promotion, Place and Price.

Which P do you find the most interesting? Why? Describe some of the important business activities or decisions that need to be completed relating to your selected "P."

Looking back at the entire semester, consider all of the topics we have learned about. Perhaps look back at all of the questions you have answered on the blog. What topic was your favourite or did you understand the best?  Why?

After considering each of the five and their different components, which of the tasks is most important in order for a business to be successful. Select the one, explain it fully and why in your opinion it's the most important?
