Text 2 product General characteristics of a product
Of all controllable factors (four Ps: production, price, plaсе, promotion) product is predominant. All products have a "product life cycle". The stages of the cycle are: introduction, growth, maturity and decline. The length of a product life cycle depends on the intensity of the competition, extent to which the new product is an innovation, a modification of an existing product, introducing timing of technologically superior products, and marketing techniques.
Visual acquaintance with the product can be effected through dealers' show rooms, directly from the factory, catalogues, direct mail coupons, telemarketing with telephone sales people, computer shopping services. Describing the product one should give the main qualitative characteristics of the merchandize, the advantages of its design, and even its packing peculiarities. In the product description section of a business plan one should also describe the organisation of services.
