Levels Of Product and Services(Cont’d)• The most basic level is the core benefit,
which address the question what is the buyer really buying?
• At the second level, product planners must turn the core benefit into an actual product. They need to develop product and service features, design, a quality level, brand name, and packaging.
• Finally, product planners must build an augmented product around the core benefit and actual product by offering additional consumer services and benefits.
