2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.1 What is a Product?

A product is anything that can be offered to a market for attention,


acquisition, use, or consumption that might satisfy a want or need.

8.1 What is a Product?

Services

Services are a form of product


that consists of activities,
benefits, or satisfactions
offered for sale that are
essentially intangible and do
not result in the ownership of
anything.
10 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.1 What is a Product?

Products, Services, and Experiences

A companys market offering often includes both tangible goods and


services.

At one extreme, the offer may consist of a pure tangible good, such
as soap or toothpaste.

11 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.1 What is a Product?

Products, Services, and Experiences

At the other extreme are pure services, for which the offer consists
primarily of a service.

To differentiate their offers, marketers are creating and managing


customer experiences with their brands or company.

12 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.1 What is a Product?

The Product Experience

When you buy an iPad, you are buying


more than the physical product. You are
also buying the experience of using it,
as well as the emotion associated with
it.

8.1 What is a Product?

The Serving Experience

Keeping in touch with


changing trends,
McDonalds in Malaysia
differentiates itself from
other fast-food restaurants
by providing an
atmosphere that
encourages people,
especially youngsters, to
spend time there while
enjoying the restaurants
food.

8.1 What is a Product?

Three Levels of Products

15 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.1 What is a Product?

Levels of Products

Product planners need to think about products and services on three


levels.
Core customer value, which addresses the question, What is the
buyer really buying?
Actual product.
Augmented product, which is created around the core benefit and
actual product by offering additional consumer services and
benefits.

16 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.1 What is a Product?

Levels of Products

People who buy an iPhone are buying more than


a wireless mobile phone, email and Webbrowsing device, or personal organizer. They are
buying freedom and on-the-go connectivity to
people and resources.

17 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.1 What is a Product?

Levels of Products

When developing products, marketers first must identify the core


customer value that consumers seeks from the product.

They must then design the actual product and find ways to augment
it in order to create this customer value and the most satisfying
customer experience.

Product and Service Attributes

Developing a product or service involves defining the benefits that it


will offer. These benefits are communicated and delivered by
product attributes such as quality, features, and style and design.

40 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.2 Product Decisions

Product Quality

Product Quality is creating customer value and satisfaction.

Total quality management (TQM) is an approach in which all the


companys people are involved in constantly improving the quality
of products, services, and business processes.

41 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.2 Product Decisions

2 Dimensions of Product Quality

Product quality has two dimensions: level and consistency.

The quality level means performance quality or the ability of a


product to perform its functions.

Quality conformance means quality consistency, freedom from


defects, and consistency in delivering a targeted level of
performance.

42 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.2 Product Decisions

Product Features

Product Features are a competitive tool for differentiating the


companys product from competitors products.

The company should periodically survey buyers who have used the
product and ask these questions: How do you like the product?
Which specific features of the product do you like most? Which
features could we add to improve the product?

43 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

Product Style and Design


Product Style and
Design is another way
to add customer
value.
Style describes the
appearance of a
product. Design
contributes to a
products usefulness
as well as to its looks.

45 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.2 Product Decisions

Product Style and Design:


Samsung versus LG

Design is the battleground that Samsung and


Lg are facing off on. Both are using design to
keep them within the top three of the global
mobile phone market. Formerly, Lg generally
concentrated on originality, sometimes being
quite eccentric, while Samsung focused on
understated minimalism. However, of late,
Samsung has been placing more emphasis on
style and fashion. Its galaxy S and Tab have been
lauded and met with success. This orientation
towards design has extended to consumer
durables. Lg revamped its frost-free refrigerators
to include stylish diamond cuts, sleekly-designed
handles, a dual-tone finish, and linear colors

46 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

designing and producing
the container or wrapper
for a product.
53 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.2 Product Decisions

Innovative Packaging

This can give a company an advantage over


competitors and boost sales. When Heinz
inverted the good old ketchup bottle, sales grew
at three times the industry rate the following
year.

Support services
Companies

must continually assess the value of current services to obtain


ideas for new ones. They also need to develop a package of services to satisfy
customers and provide profit to the company.

services that will both delight customers and yield profits to the
company.

58 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.2 Product Decisions

Support services

Samsung goes the extra mile in services for its


high-end products.
59 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.2 Product Decisions

Support services
Many companies are now
using a sophisticated mix of
interactive technologies to
provide support services that
were not possible before. For
example, at the Scion Web
site, clicking the Scion Chat
button puts you in real-time
touch with someone who can
answer your questions or help
you design your own
personalized Scion.

Product Line/Mix
A product line is a
group of products
that are closely
related because they
function in a similar
manner, are sold to
the same customer

Some analysts see brands as the major enduring asset of a


company.

Brands are thus powerful assets that must be carefully developed


and managed.

77 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Brand equity

Brands are more than just names and symbols. They are a key
element in the companys relationships with consumers.

Brands represent consumers perceptions and feelings about a


product and its performanceeverything that the product or service
means to consumers.

The real value of a strong brand is its power to capture consumer


preference and loyalty.

78 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Brand equity

Brands vary in the amount of power and value they have in the
marketplace.
Some brandssuch as Apple, Nike, Harley-Davidson, and Disney
become larger-than-life icons that maintain their power in the
market for years, even generations.
These brands win in the marketplace not simply because they deliver
unique benefits or reliable service.
Rather, they succeed because they forge deep connections with
customers.

79 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Brand equity
Brand Equity is
the differential
effect that
knowing the
brand name has
on customer
response to the
product and its
marketing

80 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Brand equity

A brand has positive brand equity when consumers react more


favorably to it than to a generic version of the same product. It has
negative brand equity if consumers react less favorably than to an
unbranded version.

Brands vary in their power and value in the marketplace. Not only do
strong brands like Coca-Cola, Google, YouTube, Apple, and Wikipedia
deliver unique benefits, they forge deep connections with customers.

81 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Brand equity

Consumers respond to the brand; they know about and understand


it.

That familiarity leads to a strong, positive consumerbrand


connection (see Real Marketing 8.1).

85 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Competitive advantages of a strong brand equity:


High brand equity provides a company with many competitive
advantages.
1. High

level of consumer brand awareness and loyalty


2. More leverage in bargaining with resellers
3. More easily launch line and brand extensions
4. Defense against fierce price competition
5. Forms the basis for building strong and profitable customer

86 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Customer Equity

The fundamental asset underlying brand equity is customer equity


the value of the customer relationships that the brand creates.
A powerful brand is important, but what it really represents is a
profitable set of loyal customers.
The proper focus of marketing is building customer equity, with
brand management serving as a major marketing tool.
Says one marketing expert, Companies need to be thought of as
portfolios of customers and not portfolios of products.

Brand Positioning
Marketers can position brands at any of three levels.
1.They

can position the brand on product attributes.


2.They can position the brand with a desirable benefit.
3.They can position the brand on beliefs and values.

90 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

The strongest brands go beyond


attribute or benefit positioning.

Brand Positioning

Procter & gamble understands


that especially to Chinese
parents, a babys brain

Pampers sleep longer than
babies who dont.

92 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Brand positioning- mission, vision and promise


When

positioning a brand, the marketer should establish a mission for


the brand and a vision of what the brand must be and do.
A brand is the companys promise to deliver a specific set of features,
benefits, services, and experiences consistently to the buyers.
The brand promise must be simple and honest.
A motel, for example, offers clean rooms, low prices, and good
service but does not promise expensive furniture or large bathrooms.
In contrast, The Grand Hyatt offers luxurious rooms and a truly
memorable experience but does not promise low prices.

Desirable qualities for a brand name include the following:
1.It should suggest something about the products benefits and
qualities.
2.It should be easy to pronounce, recognize, and remember.
3.The brand name should be distinctive.
4.It should be extendable.
5.The name should translate easily into foreign languages.
6.It should be capable of registration and legal protection.

95 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Challenges of using global brands in foreign countries:


Suzuki

sounds like lose all your money in Hokkien, a Chinese

dialect.
Hyatt

does not translate easily and confers no meaning in China. So


the company used the name Yue ( ) which means Imperial, an
identification which many Chinese aspire to be aligned with. It then
came up with courtly variations to match its sub-brands: Kai Yue (
), Jun Yue ( ), and Bo Yue ( ) for the Regency, Grand, and
Park Hyatt respectively

Brand Name Protection


Once

chosen, the brand name must be protected.


A brand name cannot be registered if it infringes on existing brand
names.
In China, Starbucks successfully won the copyright battle against a
Chinese chain, Shanghai Xingbake Coffee Company ( ),
which copied its logo and name. Xing Ba Ke sounded phonetically
similar to the pronunciation of Starbucks in Chinese.
Xing means star in Chinese and Ba Ke is the phonetical
equivalent of bucks. Shanghai Xingbakes green-and-white logo was
also very similar to the Starbucks design

Brands becoming generic

Many firms try to build a brand name that will eventually become
identified with the product category.

Brand names such as Kleenex, Levis, Scotch Tape, and Ziploc have
succeeded in this.

However, their very success may threaten the companys rights to


the name.

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Brands becoming generic


Many

originally protected brand namessuch as cellophane, aspirin,


nylon, kerosene, yo-yo, trampoline, escalator, and thermosare now
generic names that any seller can use.
To

protect their brands, marketers present them carefully using the


word brand and the registered trademark symbol, as in BAND-AID

Brand Sponsorship
A manufacturer has four sponsorship options.
1. The

product may be launched as a manufacturers brand (or national


brand).
2. The manufacturer may sell to resellers who give it a private brand
(also called a store brand or distributor brand).
3. The manufacturer can market licensed brands.
4. Two companies can join forces and co-brand a product.

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Manufacturers Brands versus Private Brands

Manufacturers brands have long dominated the retail scene.

In recent times, an increasing number of retailers and wholesalers


have created their own store brands (or private brands).

Recent tougher economic times have created a store-brand boom.

Battle of the Brands


In the battle of the brands between national and private brands,
retailers have many advantages.
a) Retailers

often price their store brands lower than comparable

Licensing

Most manufacturers take years and spend millions to create their


own brand names.

However, some companies license


names or symbols previously created
by other manufacturers, names of
well-known celebrities, or characters
from popular movies and books.
For a fee, any of these can provide
an instant and proven brand name.

Co-branding

Co-branding occurs when established brand names of two different


companies are used on the same product.
For example, American Express co-branded with Singapore Airlines
to create a card for the latters
Singapore-based PPS Club members.
In most co-branding situations, one
company licenses another companys
well-known brand to use in combination
with its own.

Advantages of Co-branding

The combined brands create broader consumer appeal and greater


brand equity.

Co-branding also allows a company to expand its existing brand into


a category it might otherwise have difficulty entering alone.

112 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Limitations of Co-branding

Such relationships involve complex legal contracts and licenses.

Co-branding partners must carefully coordinate their advertising,


sales promotion, and other marketing efforts.

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Multi-brands
Companies often introduce additional brands
in the same category. Thus, Procter & Gamble
markets many different brands in each of its
product categories. Multibranding offers a way
to establish different features and appeal to
different buying motives. It also allows a
company to lock up more reseller shelf space.
LOral markets at least 14 different brands in
China, grouping them in various pricing bands.

118 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Limitations of Multi-branding Strategy

A major drawback of multi-branding is that each brand might obtain


only a small market share, and none may be very profitable.

The company may end up spreading its resources over many brands
instead of building a few brands to a highly profitable level.

These companies should reduce the number of brands they sell in a


given category and set up tighter screening procedures for new
brands.

Managing Brands- Positioning

Companies must manage their brands carefully.

The brands positioning must be continuously communicated to


consumers.

Major brand marketers often spend huge amounts on advertising to


create brand awareness and to build preference and loyalty.

120 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Managing Brands and Internal Staff

A brands positioning will not fully take hold unless everyone in the
company lives the brand.

Therefore, the company needs to train its people to be customercentered.

Better yet, the company should carry on internal brand building to


help employees understand and be enthusiastic about the brand
promise.

8.3 Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands

Managing Brands and Internal Staff

Many companies go a step further


by training and encouraging their
distributors and dealers to serve
their customers well.

Managing Brands The Brand Audit

Companies need to periodically audit their brands strengths and


weaknesses. They need to examine the following:
Does our brand excel at delivering benefits that consumers truly
value?
Is the brand properly positioned?
Do all of our consumer touch points support the brands
positioning?
Do the brands managers understand what the brand means to
consumers?
Does the brand receive proper, sustained support?

that need to be dropped, or brands that must be rebranded or
repositioned because of changing customer preferences or new
competitors.

inseparability means that services cannot be separated


from their providers, whether the providers are people or machines.
