In our video on Marketing Mix, the first of the 4 Ps was Product.
Product is the goods and services that you offer to your target customers. It needs to solve a problem, scratch an itch, or create desire in your customers.
So, this element of the marketing mix is about addressing what your customer needs, prefers, and desires… whether they know it consciously, or not.

LESSON NOTES
Differentiators among products are between:
• Consumer (or Retail) Products
• Business (or Trade, B2B) Products
and:
• Physical goods
• Services

Within each of these, there are many variations and categories.

Important parts of the Product component of the Marketing Mix are:
• New Product Development (NPD) [What is New Product Development (NPD)...]
• Design ethic and detailing
• Product Management [What is Product Management? ...and a ...]
• Product support
• The way you will package and sell the product

Important roles in Product Marketing are to:
1. Define customer needs or problems that the product should address, and therefore craft the messages that communicate your product’s benefits to the target market
2. Identify which market segments you will target in promoting your product.
3. Create customer personas that describe the personality, behavior, and desires of buyer types. These will feed into your promotional and advertising materials.
4. Carry out a competitive analysis to understand the range of offerings in the market. This helps determine which marketing pricing, promotion, and placing will work best to differentiate and sell your product.


RECOMMENDED EXERCISE
