What Is a Product?
Product is anything that can be offered in a market for attention, acquisition, use, or consumption that might satisfy a need or want- include services, events, persons, places, organizations, ideas, or mixes of these.
Services are a form of product that consists of activities, benefits, or satisfactions offered for sale that are essentially intangible and do not result in the ownership of anything.
To differentiate their offers, marketers are creating and managing customer experiences with their brands or company.

Chapter 8 - slide 6Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Product levels• Core benefits represent what the buyer is really buying.
• Actual product represents the design, brand name, and packaging that delivers the core benefit to the customer.
• Augmented product represents additional services or benefits of the actual product.
• When developing products, marketers first must identify the core customer value that consumers seeks from the product. They must then design the actual product and find ways to augment it in order to create this customer value and the most satisfying customer experience.

Product Line Decisions
Chapter 8 - slide 30Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Product and Service Decisions
Product line length is the number of items in the product line. • The line is too short if the manager can increase profits by
adding items.• The line is too long if the manager can increase profits by
dropping items.• Product line length is influenced by company objectives and
resources.– upselling.– cross-selling – protect against economic swings.
Product Line Decisions
Chapter 8 - slide 31Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Product and Service Decisions
• Product line stretching occurs when a company lengthens its product line beyond its current range.
– Companies located at the upper end of the market can stretch their lines downward.
– Companies at the lower end of a market can stretch their lines upward.
– Companies in the middle range of the market may decide to stretch their lines in both directions.
Product Line Decisions
Chapter 8 - slide 32Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
• Downward product line stretching is used by companies at the upper end of the market to plug a market hole or respond to a competitor’s attack.
• Upward product line stretching is by companies at the lower end of the market to add prestige to their current products.
• Combination line stretching is used by companies in the middle range of the market to achieve both goals of upward and downward line stretching.

•Product mix length is the total number of items the company carries within its product lines.
Chapter 8 - slide 36Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Product and Service DecisionsProduct Mix Decisions
•Product line depth is the number of versions offered of each product in the line.
•Consistency is how closely the various product lines are in end use, production requirements, or distribution channels.
Chapter 8 - slide 37Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Chapter 8 - slide 38Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
The company can increase its business in four ways

• The company can lengthen its existing product lines to become a more full-line company.
• It can add more versions of each product and thus deepen its product mix.
• It can pursue more product line consistency—or less—depending on whether it wants to have a strong reputation in a single field or in several fields.
Chapter 8 - slide 39Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

A line extension involves extending a current brand name to new forms, colors, sizes, flavors, etc. in one of the company's existing product categories.
– Microwave Quaker oatmeal, Skippy low fat peanut butter, and Kleenex facial tissue with lotion.
Brand Strategy DecisionsBrand Development Strategies
Chapter 8 - slide 52Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Reasons• low-cost, low-risk way to introduce new products.• consumer desires for variety• use excess capacity• command more shelf space from resellers.Risks. • An overextended brand name might lose its
specific meaning, • Consumer confusion or frustration• Sales of an extension may come at the expense of
other items in the line. (cannibalization)
Chapter 8 - slide 53Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Brand extension extends a current brand name to a new or modified product in a new product category.
– Apple’s iPhone, Quaker oatmeal breakfast squares, and Arm & Hammer carpet deodorizer.
Brand Strategy DecisionsBrand Development Strategies
Chapter 8 - slide 54Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Benefits• instant recognition and faster acceptance for new
products• Saves high advertising costs Risks• The extension may confuse the image of the main
brand. • If fails, may harm consumer attitudes toward the
other products carrying the same brand name. • A brand name may not be appropriate to a
particular new product, even if it is well made and satisfying.
Chapter 8 - slide 55Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
• Multibrands are additional brands in the same category.
– Procter & Gamble markets many different brands in each of its product categories.
Brand Strategy DecisionsBrand Development Strategies
Chapter 8 - slide 56Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Multibranding offers a way to establish different features and appeal to different buying motives. It also allows a company to lock up more reseller shelf space.
Drawback • Each brand might obtain only a small market
share, and none may be very profitable. The company may end up spreading its resources over many brands instead of building a few brands to a highly profitable level.
Chapter 8 - slide 57Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
• A company might believe that the power of its existing brand name is waning and a new brand name is needed.
• Or a company may create a new brand name when it enters a new product category for which none of the company’s current brand names is appropriate.

New-Product Development Process
• Standard test markets – Small representative markets where the firm
conducts a full marketing campaign– Uses store audits, consumer and distributor
surveys, and other measures to gauge product performance
– Results are used to • Forecast national sales and profits• Discover product problems• Fine-tune the marketing program

before introduction
Test Marketing
Chapter 9- slide 89Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
New-Product Development Process
• Controlled test markets – Panels of stores that have agreed to carry
new products for a fee– Less expensive than standard test markets– Faster than standard test markets– Competitors gain access to the new
product

Product life cycle (PLC) is the course that a product’s sales and profits take over its lifetime
Chapter 9- slide 95Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
• Product development – Sales are zero and investment costs mount
• Introduction – Slow sales growth and profits are nonexistent
• Growth– Rapid market acceptance and increasing profits.
• Maturity – Slowdown in sales growth and profits level off or decline
• Decline– Sales fall off and profits drop
Product Life-Cycle Stages
Chapter 9- slide 96Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
• The PLC concept can describe a product class (gasoline-powered automobiles), a product form (SUVs), or a brand (the Ford Escape). – Product classes have the longest life cycles.– Product forms have the standard PLC shape. – Product brand PLC can change quickly because
of changing competitive attacks and responses.
