Definition of marketing by American Marketing Association:

Marketing is the process of planning and executing the pricing, promotion, and distribution of goods, ideas, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational goals.

Philip Kotler in his earlier books defines as: "Marketing is human activity directed at satisfying needs and wants through exchange processes".

Simply, if it doesn't facilitate a "sale" then it's not marketing."
