Marketing Major
Whether you’re going door to door to raise funds for a student organization or selling an item of your own to earn cash, you have to know who would want what you’re offering and how much they’d pay for it. When you know how to excite the right customers into making a purchase, the price is always right. Marketing is the business process that organizations use to link its goods, services and ideas to customer needs. Through this process, an organization determines what products it will offer, how to communicate information about its products and how to make its products available to customers. With a marketing degree from Salisbury University, you can greatly build on those fundamental skills.
