3. What is a Product?
• A product is anything that can be offered to a
market to satisfy a want or need, including
physical goods, services, experiences, events,
persons, places, properties, organizations,
information, and ideas.

component and Every Service have product
component.”
– Doctor: Medicine

Bases of Service Differentiation
Ordering

12. The Product Hierarchy
Item
Product
Type
Product Line
Product Class
Product Family
Need Family
The product hierarchy
stretches from basic
needs to particular items
that satisfy those needs.
We can identify six levels
of the product hierarchy,
using Cooker as an
example
Cooking
Cooking Utensils
Boiling Utensils
Cooker
Nonstick Cooker
Prestige Omega

13. Product Systems and Mixes
• A product system is a group of diverse but
related items that function in a compatible
manner.
– For example, the extensive Nokia Lumia 530 product
system includes headphones and headsets, cables,
cases and car accessories it is Product System for
Nokia Lumia 530.
• A product mix (also called a product assortment)
is the set of all products and items a particular
seller offers for sale.
– A company’s product mix has a certain width, length,
depth, and consistency. These concepts are illustrated
Product Mix of AMUL.

15. • Product Line: A group of Product offer by single seller, to
single target customer, to satisfy same kind of need,
through same supply chain, at relatively same price is called
product Line.
– Amul have Different Product line Like Milk, Paneer, Ghee, Dahi,
Mithai, Beverages etc.
• Product Mix Width: Number of Product line offer by seller.
– Amul have 8 Product line so, Product Width = 8
• Product line Length: Number of Item in each Product Line
– Amul have 6 Item For Milk category so, Product line Length of Amul
Milk = 6

16. • Product Mix Depth: refers to how many variants are offered
of each product in the line.
– Amul offer 4 Kind of Flavored Milk.
• consistency of the product mix: Describes how closely
related the various product lines are in end use, production
requirements, distribution channels, or some other way.
• Product Mix Assortment: Total Number of Product in
Product Mix.
– Amul have totally 33 Product in it’s Product Mix.

17. Product line Decision
• Line stretching: occurs when a company lengthens its product line beyond
its current range, whether down-market, up-market, both ways and Line
Filling.

18. • Line Modernization: In rapidly changing
markets, modernization is continuous.
– Companies plan improvements to encourage
customer migration to higher-valued, higher-
priced items.
– It’s important to time improvements so they do
not appear too early (damaging sales of the
current line) or too late (giving the competition
time to establish a strong reputation)
– Samsung came up with new version of android,
Processer in it’s smart phones over period of time.

19. Product Mix Pricing
• Product mix pricing is setting price of Product as Part of
Product Mix.
• Objective is to set prices that maximizes profits on the total
product mix.
• Difficulty arise because of demand and cost interrelationships
and different degrees of competition of products.
Pricing Strategy
• Product line pricing: Price of whole line is set to establish
perceived quality differences that justify the price differences.
Low Price –
low Quality
Average Price – Average
Quality
High Price – Superior
Quality

20. • Optional-feature pricing: Many companies offer optional
products, features, and services with their main product.
Mostly seen in Automobile industry.
Maruti Suzuki Ritz
Models
Price (Ex. New Delhi)
[in Lakhs]
Lxi 4.39
Vxi 4.79
Zxi 5.03
vdi 5.79
Zdi 6.38
• Captive-product pricing: Base product price is lower where
Captive Product price is High.
Printer is Base Product
Cartridge is captive product for Printer so,
it’s price is high relative to printer price.

21. • Two-part pricing: Service firms engage in two-part pricing,
consisting of a fixed fee plus a variable usage fee.
– Eg. Hospital have Fix room charge and extra charge for Doctor’s
Visit, medicine, Food etc.
• By-product pricing: in certain Production Process by Product is
resulted from production of main product.
– Eg. Molasses By-Product of Sugar so, Price of Molasses is lower
than price of Sugar.
• Product-bundling pricing: Sellers often bundle products and
features. Pure bundling occurs when a firm offers its products
only as a bundle.
– Eg. Multiplex provide bundle of Film Ticket + Coke + Popcorn at
lower price than price of each products individually.
