The process of the exchange requires:  a search for buyers, identification of their needs, design of appropriate products, promotion them to the market, storage, transportation, pricing, service organization, and advertising.  The role of marketing in the economy is the growth of its commercial and operational efficiency [1].

Marketing is one of the fundamental disciplines of the market for professional workers, such as retailers, workers in advertising, marketing researchers, heads of production of new and vintage items, etc. They need to know how to describe the market and divide it into segments, how to assess the needs, demands and preferences of consumers in the target market, how to design and test the product with the right for this market, consumer properties, either through the price to the consumer to bring the idea of ​​the value of the goods, how to choose a skilled intermediaries in order the product was widely available, well presented, how to advertise and sell goods to consumers in a way that they wanted to buy it.

The role of marketing in the economy lies in the fact that it is designed to bring production in line with demand. The efforts of marketing services designed to create a range of products that would meet public demand. Much attention is paid to the appearance of the goods, consumer characteristics, after-sales service. At the same marketing efforts should be aimed at convincing the buyer that the product is the best, to create a "commitment" to the buyer's brand [3].
