The 5 New Ps of Marketing That Drive Digital Transformation- The Power of Personal Touch

    Marketing, Digital Transformation

    Being market ready for a digital transformation strategy means going beyond the traditional 5 Ps that the last few decades swore by. The original 5Ps still hold, but for the modern business scenario, the criterion has changed.

    The 5Ps were the marketing commandments for an entire generation (maybe two) of marketers. They helped the professionals to place all bits of information on a marketing puzzle, creating a complete framework for setting up a business.

    But with the world going increasingly digital, these five Ps are rapidly becoming a tad irrelevant, though not completely useless. The question of warranties, prices, deals, product positioning, and selling is still the uppermost.  Then what has changed? A new paradigm has been added. The Ps stay, the meanings have changed. Replacing the product, price, place, promotion, and people, are five new Ps. Arriving with the new technologies, new business paradigms and new market challenges, these new Ps will evolve and grow to fit the challenges marketers face in the brave new digital-first world.
