Let’s look at our 1st “P”...............
“PRODUCT”
![Page 4: Product Development & Planning. After we have: Come up with a conceptual product idea Profiled our target market (“customer”) It is time to move on to](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081816/5697c0201a28abf838cd27ab/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• “new” products are created as the result of an idea or perceived “gap” in the current world
• it usually arises from a need or want that can’t be immediately filled and leads to the question:
“Why don’t I create and sell that product?”

• In order for a new product idea to succeed, it must
be or have:
• Desirable attributes for their target market
• Be unique
• If the new product isn’t, it is doomed to fail
![Page 7: Product Development & Planning. After we have: Come up with a conceptual product idea Profiled our target market (“customer”) It is time to move on to](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081816/5697c0201a28abf838cd27ab/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• When a new idea is generated, the next stage is to do some research…
This research will focus on answering:
• “Can we produce it?”
• “Can we sell it?”
![Page 8: Product Development & Planning. After we have: Come up with a conceptual product idea Profiled our target market (“customer”) It is time to move on to](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081816/5697c0201a28abf838cd27ab/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• When a “new” product idea is created, the “new” idea or product is either an “invention” or “innovation”
1. “Invention”
2. “Innovation”
• New devices , methods or processes developed from research and experimentation
• An original solution (product / service) that hasn’t existed up until you created it
• A product or service that that is new to the market, yet it arises as a result of changing / improving an existing product / service
![Page 9: Product Development & Planning. After we have: Come up with a conceptual product idea Profiled our target market (“customer”) It is time to move on to](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081816/5697c0201a28abf838cd27ab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
“Feasibility Research”
• Research conducted to determine if a business idea or opportunity is possible, practical and viable
• “can it be done and is it worth it?”
• Each element of the new idea must be thought through in order to determine if the idea should be acted upon
• All ideas need to go through this research….but to differing levels
![Page 10: Product Development & Planning. After we have: Come up with a conceptual product idea Profiled our target market (“customer”) It is time to move on to](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081816/5697c0201a28abf838cd27ab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
STAGES OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
• This process involves 8 stages that every product needs to go through in order to “be brought to market”:
• If the “feasibility research” finds that the idea is worth pursuing and is “doable”, the product development process begins
![Page 11: Product Development & Planning. After we have: Come up with a conceptual product idea Profiled our target market (“customer”) It is time to move on to](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081816/5697c0201a28abf838cd27ab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• An invention or innovation as a result of a gap in the current market
• An idea to produce a product or service not currently available
• Not all ideas are good ones (ie – New Coke, McPizza)• Marketers need to test consumer reaction to their idea before
they continue• Throw the idea around and see what people think
1. Idea Generation
2. Idea Screening
![Page 12: Product Development & Planning. After we have: Come up with a conceptual product idea Profiled our target market (“customer”) It is time to move on to](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081816/5697c0201a28abf838cd27ab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3. Concept Development

optimally sell them your product
![Page 13: Product Development & Planning. After we have: Come up with a conceptual product idea Profiled our target market (“customer”) It is time to move on to](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081816/5697c0201a28abf838cd27ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
5. Feasibility Analysis / Study
• At the end of the day, is it “doable” and worthwhile?
• Ie:» Materials / labour required» Price of production» Distribution channels» Cost of promotion
This analysis will simply answer the following question:
“Can we make and sell this product and make money doing it?”
• Often done at the same time as the product design and market strategy stages
• Many questions are answered in this stage
![Page 14: Product Development & Planning. After we have: Come up with a conceptual product idea Profiled our target market (“customer”) It is time to move on to](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081816/5697c0201a28abf838cd27ab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• What the product will look like• The design will depend on what it does and what the target
market want
7. Test Marketing
6. Product Design
• Test acceptance of the product• Usually occurs by offering the product to a random sample of
your target market• Customer feedback is used to improve the venture and determine
whether the product should “go to market”
![Page 15: Product Development & Planning. After we have: Come up with a conceptual product idea Profiled our target market (“customer”) It is time to move on to](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081816/5697c0201a28abf838cd27ab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
8. Market Entry
• The product is officially “in the market” and being sold to all• The “Product Life Cycle” begins and it’s life will be determined
by the consumer market, competition and further product advances
![Page 16: Product Development & Planning. After we have: Come up with a conceptual product idea Profiled our target market (“customer”) It is time to move on to](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081816/5697c0201a28abf838cd27ab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• As a result, “new” products are being continually created as the result of new ideas
• In order to ensure success, marketers must perform a “Feasibility Study” and use the “Product Development” process to create, plan and test their ideas before committing them to market
• Following this process provides a new product with a much better chance of success
