While posting a notice of a house for sale, publishing the yellow pages, or putting a sign outside your business with the name on it is marketing, it can be reasonably done by nonprofessional marketers.
It is the nonfunctional uses of marketing typically done by those in the profession I take issue with.

It's absolutely marketing.
Try selling your house some time without doing any marketing. It won't sell, because nobody will even know it's for sale.

I said it is marketing, but your example if how it won't sell in a field dominated by marketing doesn't make the point you think it does.
If your plumbing is leaking, how are you going to find out what plumbers are available nearby to fix it?
How are you going to determine which movie at the cineplex you prefer to see? How are you even going to find out what's playing at the cineplex? Or even if there is a cineplex and where it is?
