Applying the Marketing Mix All four elements of the marketing mix work together as a team. It is often suggested that one weak element in the marketing mix can have a significant impact on marketing success. In other words, a marketing mix is only as strong as its weakest link. Companies that provide a clear and unique selling proposition from their competitors often achieve success.
