    • 1961, Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Bulletin, page 16:

      • 1859, Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities:

        Although Miss Pross, through her long association with a French family, might have known as much of their language as of her own, if she had had a mind, she had no mind in that direction […] So her manner of marketing was to plump a noun-substantive at the head of a shopkeeper without any introduction in the nature of an article […]

      • 1926, George Herriman, comic strip Us Husbands, June 12th, 1926 (reprinted in the back of Krazy & Ignatz, vol. 1922–1924, Fantagraphics, 2012, →ISBN, p. 223):
        [Wife to husband:] I'm going out to do my marketing – keep out of the kitchen, while I'm gone.

      • 2022 May 14, Fr. Roger Solis, SVD, The Word in Other Words‎[1], University of San Carlos:

    2. (dated) Attending market as a seller.

    • 2013 May 25, “No hiding place”, in The Economist‎[2], volume 407, number 8837, page 74:

      In America alone, people spent $170 billion on “direct marketing”—junk mail of both the physical and electronic varieties—last year. Yet of those who received unsolicited adverts through the post, only 3% bought anything as a result.

The newer sense of the gerund (promotion and distribution strategy, often across multiple markets) has largely displaced the older sense (attending street market as either buyer or seller), but readers who encounter the gerund in older texts should appreciate that the older sense was meant. In areas where it is common for a domestic helper to go grocery-shopping on behalf of their employer (e.g. Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines) both senses of the word may be used, depending on context.

(promotion of sales) advertising, branding, pricing, sales, promotion
