Product is your core offering.This is “the thing” that will fulfill the needs of your customer. If your product is faulty, every thing else fails.Price has a lot of impact on the service buyer’s satisfaction level. Often, paying a higher price makes a customer more satisfied. Price is often considered a proxy for quality.Place often offers a different side of value (utility) to the customer. Who would want to travel 10 miles to have a regular dinner, even if that is priced very competitively and has a super quality? Services are often chosen for their place utility. Closer to the customer means higher probability of purchase.Promotion plays a role in the perception the possible target audience may have about your service. There has to be a fit between the promotion and the positioning.People are crucial in service delivery. The best food may not seem equally palatable if the waitress is in a sour mood. A smile always helps.Processes are important to deliver a quality service. Services being intangible, processes become all the more crucial to ensure standards are met with.Physical evidence affects the customer’s satisfaction. Often, services being intangible, customers depend on other cues to judge the offering. This is where physical evidence plays a part.
Another P which has grown in significance in Services Marketing is the 8th P, namely Productivity and QualityIn services management, improving productivity is a requisite in cost management; but quality, as defined by the customer, is essential for a service to differentiate itself from other providers.So for services, a firm may greatly benefit through proper re-engineering of processes and remodeling the same if required to improve productivity at each stage.It has also been established in research that process improvements deliver better standardization and hence better quality in services. Quality perception is a crucial differentiating factor on services management and for long term sustainability of the same. Business Process Remodeling can lead to major process efficiency improvements which again can impact overall quality as is actually delivered by the firm and is also perceived by the customers / clientele .
