The basic instruments of the marketing mix are known by the acronym 4P production enterprises, ie 7p service enterprises. 4P acronym means combining the 4 instruments: product, price, promotion, distribution. While the acronym 7p refers to people, processes and physical evidence, and applies to service companies that have successfully managed the entire process of providing services to the people who provide those services that receive direct contact with customers, but also to care about things like interior, room arrangement, logo, trademark, uniforms etc.. that will make service recognizable and service overcome the inability to see, touch, etc..
