The marketing mix that I would propose is;

price- is how much does the product cost. Sellers want to charge as much as possible, and buyers want to pay as little as possible. pricing a product needs to strategic; not too low and not too high. consider the following;

  • Is there high consumer demand? Demand drives price
  • What are your competitors charging, and do you want to charge more or less?
  • What does it cost to produce and distribute your product? At a minimum, you don't want to charge less than what you're spending.

product- this is what the company is selling, in this case, a product. KOKO will have to evaluate

  • the experience that the customers have with its product
  • what problem does it solve
  • what attracts the customers to the product

promotion-  Promotion covers all the communication tactics that you use to tell people about your products. Factors to consider are;

  • Who is your target audience
  • What medium is your message in
  • What channel are you using to get your message out
  • When will all this happen

promotional activities also encompass more than just marketing. Promotion might also involve the sales process, public relations, and advertising.

place- From the marketer's perspective, it's where you'll be distributing your product, Place is where your buyers can find your product;

  • whether that's a brick-and-mortar location or an online shop.
  • Will you be selling directly to consumers or wholesalers?
  • How will customers find what you are trying to sell?
