called market research and involves finding
out what types of products are wanted
(product policy) and what prices consumers
are prepared to pay.
-Helping to produce the right product at the
right price.
-Persuading customers to buy it – by means of
advertising and packaging.
-Getting the product to the customer in the most
convenient and efficient way – distribution.

that customers recognise the ‘brand name’),
how to package it, and what guarantees to
offer.

Product
policy in marketing involves:
-Finding out what people want in a particular
product and what they use it for.
-Deciding what the product should look like: this
involves making sure that the design is not only
up-to-date but that it is suitable for people to use.
-Making sure that the price is right for the people
who the company thinks will be likely to buy the
product.
-Getting the ‘slot’ in the market right with regard to
other factors such as status.

Product
life cycle
Almost all products have a lifetime during which
they are used.
-Firstly, the product will be very new to the market
and only a few people will know about it.
-After a while the product will become widely
known and, its producers hope, popular.
At the end of a product’s life it will become less
popular and will be replaced by other newer
products.

The
product variation is a change of the product
properties in timing, i.e. an "old" product is changed and
replaced by a new.

"differentiation") is the process of distinguishing the
differences of a product or offering from others, to make
it more attractive to a particular target market. This
involves differentiating it from competitors' products as
well as ones own product offerings.

Costs
Direct
costs are costs to make the product including
such things as raw materials, pay and energy (these can
also be called Variable Costs). The direct costs increase
as the amount produced increases and decrease as the
amount decreases.
Indirect costs (or fixed costs or overheads) are costs to
provide the firm in which the product is to be made or,
simply, for the firm to remain in existence. Indirect costs
consist of rent for offices and factories, management
salaries, and administrative costs. They are usually the
same however many units of the product are made.
