About the 4P Marketing Mix template
What is a 4P marketing mix?
A marketing mix comprises the elements an organization might use to execute a successful marketing plan. The term was coined in the late 1940s, and Harvard professor Neil Borden used it in his 1953 address to the American Marketing Association.
The 4P Marketing Mix Template allows you to map out four controllable factors affecting your company profits: product, place, promotion, and price. By deciding on the mix of these four factors, you can determine the ideal way to take a new product or service to market. Read on to find out more about how this template can help your team
What are the 4 Ps?
The 4 Ps stand for: Product, Place, Promotions, and Price. Let’s look at each one in more detail.
Product: is the tangible good or service that satisfies the target audience’s needs.
Place: refers to where and when the product is available.
Promotions: include advertising, digital marketing, PR, event marketing, direct marketing, personal selling, channel marketing, and alliances.
Price: consists of the policies regarding basic price, upgrades, discounts, coupons, distributor price, etc.
Benefits of marketing mixes
An effective marketing mix can help your business develop strengths and limit weaknesses, become more competitive, adapt to the market, and collaborate with partners. Specifically, a marketing mix can help your organization answer the following questions: Who is your customer? What problem do they have? What prevents them from solving it? How does your product or service solve that problem? How does your customer or potential customer feel about your competitors? How do they feel about your business? What motivates them to make a purchasing decision?
When to use a 4P marketing mix
Organizations can develop a marketing mix at any stage of growth. Once you’ve answered the questions above, you can begin to build your marketing strategy.

Cross Functional Flowchart
Works best for:
Org Charts, Business Management
Have a quick look at everyone on a project and see exactly what they’ll contribute. That’s the clarity and transparency a cross-functional flowchart will give you. These are also called “swim lane” flowcharts because each person (each customer, client, or representative from a specific function) is assigned a lane—a clear line—that will help you visualize their roles at each stage of the project. This template will empower you to streamline processes, reduce inefficiencies, and make meaningful cross-functional relationships.
Meeting Notes Template
Works best for:
Business Management, Meetings
When your meeting is a success (and Miro will help make sure it is), participation will run high, brilliant ideas will be had, and decisions will be made. Make sure you don’t miss a single one — use our meeting notes template to track notes and feedback in a centralized place that the whole team can access. Just assign a notetaker before the meeting, identify the discussion topics, and let the notetaker take down the participants, important points covered, and any decisions made.
Opportunity Canvas Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Decision Making, Strategic Planning
Features and capabilities — they make or break a product, which is why companies spend so much time and effort focusing on them. Sound like you? Try it with an Opportunity Canvas. This streamlined one-pager gives you and your team the power to improve your product by exploring the use cases, potential setbacks, strategies, challenges, and metrics. An Opportunity Canvas is ideal if you’ve already built a product, because you don’t need to consider the operational or revenue model.
Editorial Calendar Template
Works best for:
Marketing, Strategic Planning, Project Planning
If your company is like most, content is a big thing. You create more of it (and a lot faster) than you create almost anything else. It includes blogs, newsletters, social media posts, ads, and more—and it requires ideating, writing, editing, and publishing. That’s why every content team needs an editorial calendar. The template will let you easily create a calendar that empowers your team to plan strategically, keep things organized (by content type, writer, channel, and delivery date), and finalize/post all content on schedule.
UXD Empathy Map Template
