created. For example, the core or generic function of
wristwatch would be “to tell time.”

effectively differentiate automobiles manufactured by
one company over those manufactured by others with
the same core or generic function.

This types of products/goods, particularly those that are
very expensive and have long service lives.
CLASSIFICATIONS OF PRODUCTS/GOODS
ACCORDING TO USE
Consumer Goods are goods that are purchased from
consumptions.
Industrial Goods are purchased in order to make other
goods to serve as a raw material or input in the production
of other goods.
ACCORDING TO DIFFERENTIATION
Undifferentiated goods are products whose physical
characteristics are so identical, that it would be difficult, if
not possible.
Differentiated Products are varied in their characteristics
and features that they are readily distinguishable from one
another.
ACCORDING TO DURABILITY
Consumables is a product whose benefit can be
only used by a consumer for only a short period
of time, sometimes on a few minutes.
Semi-Durable provides benefits to the consumers
for a longer period of time, usually spanning
several months.
Durables are products that are manufactured to
last a long time. They are capable of providing
consumers with years of beneficial use.
ACCORDING TO TYPE
Convenience goods are products that purchased
frequently, are usuallly inexpensive ,and do not require
much purchase effort and evaluation.
Shopping goods, on the other hand, are purchased less
frequently than convenience foods, are relatively more
expensive, and require some amount of information
search and evaluation prior to purchase.
Specialty goods, are goods that require unusually large
effort on the part of consumers to acquire.
Unsought goods, are goods that consumers seldom
actively look, rather than desire.
Marketing Services
Services are generally considered more difficult to market due to it’s
four major attributes.
• Intangibility - Physical products are tangible. As such, they
can be inspected by consumer prior to purchase. On the
other hand, services are intangible. It would, therefore not
be possible to “sample” a lawyer’s legal skill or a doctor’s
ability to handle a surgical operation. This is the first reason
that makes the marketing of service difficult.
• Variability – Because service are performed by human
beings, no service provider can render the same service
exactly the same way every single time. An OB-Gyne
likewise can’t perform ceasarian both sessions. If physical
products were variable, it is certain that a disturbing level
of purchase anxiety would be experienced by customers.
• Inseparability- Because service are rendered by
people, the service must be present each and every
time the service is provided. Services are rendered
and consumed and simultaneously. “consumed” by a
client. As a lawyer gives legal advice to a client, legal
service are being “produced” and simultaneously
“consumed”.
• Perishability- Unconsumed services can’t be sored or
warehouse. When a 40 rooms boutique hotel with a
restaurant on it’s ground floor operates in a particular
day, unconsumed or unused ingredients for food
production, unsold bottle of soda, or unused coffee
beans can be stored, available for use or sale the
following day.
NEEDS, WANTS, and DEMANDS
Needs are defined as physiological necessities required
for human survival.
Wants, are more psychological, indicating preferences
that can improve the consumer’s life condition.
