Very long and confusing first sentence
editThe first sentence is over 100 words long, contains lots of jargon and is difficult to read. Can we break it up into smaller sentences or have each sub clause separated into bullet points? General Nelkers (talk) 13:15, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed, and it looks like OR. It might be best to revert to the version here, and restore what's appropriate for the lede of this article based upon the overall article. --Hipal (talk) 19:06, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- The 104-word opening sentence list was added in October 2021 by User:Beland with a summary of
rephrase definition to avoid jargon and be more concrete, add lots of detail
. The MOS:FIRSTSENTENCE sentence should definitely not have "lots of detail". I've restored the previous as suggested above. --Belbury (talk) 11:47, 8 October 2023 (UTC)- Wow, that sentence I added really was out of control. "Engage", "create value", and "capture value" in the previous version are marketing terms that are not helpful in defining the term for a general audience. They also don't follow the cited source particularly well. I changed the definition to this instead, closely following that source:
- Marketing is the process of identifying customers and "creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging" goods and services for the satisfaction and retention of those customers.
- I do think it's important to explain what concrete things marketing actually entails; otherwise many readers will come away from the intro not knowing what marketing is. But cramming it all into the first sentence is not good, so I'll add it later on in the intro. -- Beland (talk) 19:15, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
