The service or benefit the customer is really buying.
◦Example: The need of a customer to get from one place to another
Core benefit
SAPNU
4
The basic product that might satisfy the inner needs of the customer.
Example: A car
Basic product
SAPNU
5
A set of attributes and conditions buyers normally expect when they purchase this product.

6
Product that exceeds customer expectations
◦ Example: any brand (for example, a Ford) that is in fully working condition, has an attractive design, passed all safety tests, built-in alarm and air condition, etc. The car is also accompanied by other benefits such as warranty , instalments, etc.
Augmented product
SAPNU
7
Encompasses all the possible augmentations and transformations the product is offering might undergo in the future
◦ Example: the car is much safer than the competitors’ products; it tends to break down less frequently than other cars, has the best mileage, etc.
Potential product

Durability and tangibility◦ Nondurable goods – are tangible goods normally
consumed in one or a few uses.◦ Durable goods – are tangible goods that normally survive
many uses◦ Services- are intangible. Inseparable, variable, and
perishable products that normally require more quality control, supplier credibility, and adaptability.

Features – most products can be offered with varying features that supplement their basic function.
Customization – marketers can differentiate products by customizing them.
Performance Quality – the level at which the product’s primary characteristics operate.
Product Differentiation

errors by the seller or customer and can mostly be eliminated with improved handling or storage, better packaging, etc.
◦ Uncontrollable returns – result from the need for customers to actually see, try, or experience products in person to determine suitability and can’t be eliminated by the company in the short run.

Design
• totality of features that affect how a product looks, feels, and functions to a consumer• offers functional and aesthetic benefits and
appeals to both our rational and emotional sides
MUNGCAL
34
a very data-driven approach with three phases: observation, ideation, and implementation
requires intensive ethnographic studies of consumers, creative brainstorming sessions, and collaborative teamwork to decide how to bring the idea to reality
Design thinking
MUNGCAL

stretches from basic needs to particular items that satisfy those needs
composed of six levels
Product hierarchy
MUNGCAL
36
1. Need family◦ the core need that underlies the existence of a
product family
2. Product family◦ product classes that can satisfy a core need
3. Product class or product category◦ group of products within the product family
4. Product line◦ group of products within a product class
5. Product type◦ group of items within a product line
6. Item or stock-keeping unit or product variant◦ distinct unit within a brand or product line
Levels of Product Hierarchy
MUNGCAL
37
group of diverse but related items that function in a compatible manner
Product system
Product mix or product assortment• set of all products and items a particular seller offers for
sale• consists of various product lines• has four dimensions: width, length, depth, and
consistency
MUNGCAL
38
1. Width◦ number of product lines the company carries
2. Length◦ total number of items in the mix
3. Depth◦ number of variants each product has
4. Consistency◦ how closely related the various product lines
are
Dimensions of Product Mix
MUNGCAL
39
In offering a product line, companies normally develop a basic platform and modules that can be added to meet different customer requirements and lower production costs.
Sales and Profits Companies should recognize that items can differ in
their potential fpr being priced higher or advertised more as ways to increase their sales, their margins, or both.
Product Line Analysis
MUNGCAL

Market Profile
◦ The product line manager must review how the line is positioned against competitors’ lines. Product map
shows which competitor’s items are competing with the other companies’ items
identifies market segments
Product line analysis provides information for two key decision areas – product line length and product mix pricing.
MUNGCAL
41
Company objectives influence product line length. To induce up-selling To facilitate cross-selling To protect against economic ups and
downs
High market share and market growth: longer product linesHigh profitability: shorter product lines
Product line length
MUNGCAL
42
Reasons why product lines tend to lengthen over time Excess manufacturing capacity Customer satisfaction
A company lengthens its product line in two ways: line stretching and line filling.
MUNGCAL
43
Line stretching lengthens its product line beyond its
current range has three kinds
1. Down-market stretch◦ Middle-market companies introduce a lower-priced
line.
2. Up-market stretch◦ Companies enter the high end of a market or simply
position themselves as full-line manufacturers.
3. Two-way stretch◦ Middle-market companies stretch their line in both
directions.
MUNGCAL
44
Line filling lengthens its product line by adding more
items within the present range
Motives for line filling1. To gain incremental profits2. To satisfy the customers3. To utilize excess capacity 4. To become the leading full-time company5. To keep out competitors
| MUNGCAL
45
Line modernization, featuring, and pruning
Product lines need to be modernized. The product line manager typically selects
one or a few items in the line to feature. The company may try to boost demand
for slower sellers. Product line managers must periodically
review the line for deadwood that depresses profits.
Multibrand companies all over the world try to optimize their brand portfolios.
MUNGCAL

Product Mix- also known as product assortment- refers to the total number of product
lines that a company offers to its customers

maximizes profits on the total mix
