It’s Called “Marketing.”

It’s Called Marketing
“Marketing is the process of communicating the value of a product or service to customers. Marketing might sometimes be interpreted as the art of selling products, but selling is only a small fraction of marketing. As the term "Marketing" may replace "Advertising" it is the overall strategy and function of promoting a product or service to the customer.” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing
