and conditions buyers normally expect when they purchase the product

• Design is the totality of features that affect how a product looks, feels, and functions to a consumer.
• Design offers a potent way to differentiate and position a company’s products and services
• Design offers functional and aesthetic benefits and appeals to both our rational and emotional sides
• Examples:– Kotler example: Hewlett-Packard PCs– Local Example: Magnum Cafe– Medical application: GE healthcare electronics
Concept 6
Product design
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
• Product mix - set of all products and items a particular seller offers for sale– Width - how many different product lines the company carries– Length - total number of items in the mix– Depth - how many variants are offered of each product in the line – Consistency - how closely related the various product lines are in
end use, production requirements, distribution channels, or some other way
• Examples– Kotler example: Proctor & Gamble Products– Local example: Johnson & Johnson– Medical example: Hi-Precision Diagnostic Laboratory
Concept 7
Building and managing product mixes and product lines
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
• Product Line Length– Line stretching - occurs when a company lengthens its product
line beyond its current range, whether down-market, up-market, or both ways
• Down-Market stretch• Up-Market stretch• Two-way stretch
– Line Filling - adding more items within the present range – Line Modernization, Featuring and Pruning
• Examples - – Kotler example: Starbucks, BMW, Nike Air Force 1 basketball shoe– Local example: Sinangag express, CBTL, Limited edition Swiss
watches– Medical example: Subspecialty consultations
Concept 8
Building and managing product mixes and product lines

• Co-branding - two or more well-known brands are combined into a joint product or marketed together in some fashion
• Examples– Kotler example: Jointly owned Pizza Hut, KFC and
Taco Bell– Local example: SMART and Sun cellular– Medical Example: Mount General Memorial
Hospital and FiTs club
Concept 9
Combining products

• Ingredient branding - creates brand equity for materials, components, or parts that are necessarily contained within other branded products.
• Examples– Kotler example: Dolby noise reduction technology– Local example: Tide with Downy– Medical Example: Buscopan Venus
Concept 10
Combining products

• Packaging - all the activities of designing and producing the container for a product
• Examples:– Kotler example: Cool water cologne– Local example: Coca cola soft drinks– Medical application: Multivitamins
Concept 11
Packaging, Labeling, Warranty and Guarantee

Packaging, Labeling, Warranty and Guarantee

• Product is the first and most important element of the marketing mix • Five levels of the product: the core benefit, the basic product, the
expected product, the augmented product, and the potential product • Products can be nondurable goods, durable goods, or services. In the
consumer-goods category are convenience goods (staples, impulse goods, emergency goods), shopping goods (homogeneous and heterogeneous), specialty goods, and unsought goods. The industrial-goods category has three subcategories: materials and parts (raw materials and manufactured materials and parts), capital items (installations and equipment), and supplies and business services (operating supplies, maintenance and repair items, maintenance and repair services, and business advisory services)
Summary (p.349)
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
• Brands can be differentiated on the basis of product form, features, performance, conformance, durability, reliability, repairability, style, and design, as well as such service dimensions as ordering ease, delivery, installation, customer training, customer consulting, and maintenance and repair.
• Design is the totality of features that affect how a product looks, feels, and functions.
• A product mix can be classified according to width, length, depth, and consistency.
• A company can change the product component of its marketing mix by lengthening its product via line stretching (down-market, up-market, or both) or line filling, by modernizing its products, by featuring certain products, and by pruning its products to eliminate the least profitable.
Summary (p.349)
www. facebook.com/v65ASMPHMarkma
• Brands are often sold or marketed jointly with other brands. Ingredient brands and co-brands can add value, assuming they have equity and are perceived as fitting appropriately.
• Physical products must be packaged and labeled. Well- designed packages can create convenience value for customers and promotional value for producers. Warranties and guarantees can offer further assurance to consumers.
