Level of Products and Services
• Core benefits represent what the buyer is really
buying. It consists of the core, problem-solving
benefits that customer seeks.
• Actual product represents five characteristics: a
quality level, product and service features, styling
(design), a brand name and packing that delivers the
core benefit to the customer.
• Augmented product represents additional customer
services and/or benefits of the actual product.
Level of Products and Services
• Customers tend to see products as complex
bundles of benefits that satisfy their needs.
• When developing a products, marketers must
first identify the core consumer needs that the
product will satisfy. They must then design the
actual product and finally ways to augment it
in order to create the bundle of benefits.
• Today most competition takes place at
augmentation level.
• Augmented benefits soon become expected
benefits.
