She then spoke briefly about the 4 Ps concepts about which management students were already familiar.

Her next level of discussion touched upon some specific topics relevant to the topic of discussion. The first of those was – marketing mix. She then introduced the students to some new concepts like DINK which elaborates as Double Income No Kids. DINK are a specific group of working married couples who are yet to have children & are thus free to lavish money on luxuries of their choice. The MNCs particularly target that group during their promotional activities. She also spoke about the relationship between the DINK group & particularly the FMCG industry.
