The main aim of this paper is to introduce three classes $H^0_{p,q}$, $H^1_{p,q}$ and $TH^*_p$ of $p$-harmonic mappings and discuss the properties of mappings in these classes. First, we discuss the starlikeness and convexity of mappings in $H^0_{p,q}$ and $H^1_{p,q}$. Then establish the covering theorem for mappings in $H^1_{p,q}$. Finally, we determine the extreme points of the class $TH^*_{p}$.
