After all, sales is part of the marketing mix and cannot be seen separately from any special product features.<br \/>\nWhilst companies tended to rather make <strong>either-or-decisions<\/strong> in the past, more and more <strong>take-both-decisions<\/strong> can be seen: do one without leaving the other!
