AHP is a method used by many decision-makers to solve Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problems. Because of its simplicity and flexibility, AHP is frequently used to solve other problems. The General Manager and Manager of Marketing of the company are asked to give their judgment on the pairwise comparisons between each P of the 4Ps marketing mix, considering their impacts on sales. The result shows that Place has the highest important weight. Price is more important than Product, and Promotion is the least important. The study suggested the company to broaden its network, by adding more kiosks.
