PRODUCT

The business has to produce a product that people want to buy. They have to decide which 'market segment' they are aiming at - age, income, geographical location etc. They then have to differentiate their product so that it is slightly different from what is on offer at present so that people can be persuaded to 'give them a try'.

PROMOTION

Customers have to be made aware of the product. The two main considerations are target market and cost. A new business will not be able to afford to advertise on national television, for instance and would not wish to because its market will be local to start with. Leaflets, billboards, advertisements in local newspapers, Yellow Pages and 'word of mouth' would be more appropriate.

PRICE

The price must be high enough to cover costs and make a profit but low enough to attract customers. There are a number of possible pricing strategies. The most commonly used are:

  • PENETRATION PRICING - charging a low price, possibly not quite covering costs, to gain a position in the market. This is quite popular with new businesses trying to get a 'toehold'.
  • CREAMING - the opposite to penetration pricing, this involves charging a deliberately high price to persuade people that the product is of high quality. Luxury car makers often use this strategy
  • COST PLUS PRICING - this is the most common form of pricing. Costs are totalled and a margin is added on for profit to make the total price.

PLACE

The business must have a location that it can afford, and that is convenient and suitable for customers and any supplier.

What is the difference between branded and unbranded products?

Branded products are more renowned than unbranded eg u go to the market to buy a PHILIPS pressing iron or a DELL laptop, note that PHILIPS and DELL are brands. u might as well get similar products without these names attached to them, u could get a pressing iron or a laptop which would perform the same functions without bothering about the brand name associated with it. It might interest u to know that terms differ when it comes to buying branded or unbranded products depending on whose brand you are patronising...... for more info pls call 2348064315872 or send me a mail to laxy220@yahoo.com
