The Recent acrimonious debate has focused on the argument of whether logistics and marketing is friend. Marketing is defined as the management processes of individuals and groups create the demand and meet the demand. (Kotler et al. 2013). Converse (1954) made a speech at twenty-sixth Boston Conference on distribution. He claims that the process of selling goods and the process of satisfying consumer’s needs is closely related to logistics. Christopher (2011) states that the performance of marketing is to depend on logistics supply chain. There is no doubt that the logistics is a close link to marketing, in other wards, the logistics is the best friend for marketing. Madhani and Pankaj (2012) claim that the main task of supply chain is to optimize the process of production and distribution in order to control the cost. In contrast, marketing is meet customers’ need in order to maximize profits. As a result, supply chain and marketing work independent, both of them are enemies. However, logistic has a direct and positive decisive influence on the marking in terms of product value, marketing mix and customer service.
