Maximize the consumption of goods. The marketing job is to stimulate greater product consumption. Greater production requires the consumption of material inputs and more goods in the market that create more employment. More jobs are created, and more people enjoy economic wealth. Maximum consumptions generate economic development for the nation.
Maximize consumer satisfaction. The customer may be satisfied with the product the marketing people produce but it may create pollution to the environment. Plastics are good packaging materials for consumer goods but they create flood and environmental pollution. Cars and other vehicles using gas serve the convenience of the riding public, but they create global warming that result to environmental imbalance.
Maximize choice of goods and service. Development of new products needs research but that will mean time and costs. Maximizing consumer choice entails cost as the economies of scale do not operate in the production of goods. Consumers must spend time studying the benefits of the production of goods.
Maximize the quality of life. The quality of life is difficult to measure. Life satisfaction is more than the physical comfort. The impact of electronic radiation has created health problems among the many users of modern gadgets. People in the previous generations lived longer because they lived a simple life. They ate unadulterated food and lived free from pollution and radiation.
