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.

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.

• It can add new product lines, widening its product mix.
• 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.

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.

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.

• 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.
