"Marketing mix" is a general phrase used to describe the different kinds of choices organizations have to make in the whole process of bringing a product or service to market. The 4Ps is one way – probably the best-known way – of defining the marketing mix, and was first expressed in 1960 by E J McCarthy.

The 4Ps are:

• Product (or Service).
• Place.
• Price.
• Promotion.

product. place. promotion. price.

Product, Price, Placement and Promotion are the fundamentals of the Marketing Mix's Ps. But lately, updates have been made to this and People, Processes and physical environment been added to the list :) 

Some good direct answers here but i suggest it would have been nice for someone to point why these 4 PS are considered crucial in a marketing mix.

So in a nutshell, the four ps helps in meeting consumer needs effectively. When starting in business or amplifying your business, you have think about your customers before anything.
