Heuristic Marketing Concept is based on the development, design and implementation of marketing programs, processes and activated that recognizes their breadth and interdependencies. Holistic marketing recognized that everything matters in the marketing – and that a broad, integrated perspective is often necessary.
So this concept recognizes every aspect of marketing and its importance. It is further divided into 4 broad sub categories. These are:

1. Relationship Marketing
2. Internal Marketing

4. Performance Marketing

Relationship Marketing
Today in this competitive market, retaining customers is a major challenge. So every company keeps customer’s need and demand as their main priority. Companies try to establish a relationship with customers as well as its partners and suppliers which can be beneficial to the company.
Relationship Marketing aims to build mutually satisfying long-term relationship with key constituents in order to earn and retain their business.

Internal Marketing
Holistic marketing also identifies internal marketing to ensure that everyone in the organization embraces appropriate marketing principles. It includes hiring, training and motivating. It is very important to train internal people and make them able to provide world class services to the customers. Without smart and professional people in the people, marketing a good service or better product in the market is unworthy.
