6. Marketing of services refers to the set
of activities and strategies used by
businesses and organizations to
promote and sell intangible offerings
known as services, as opposed to
physical products.
DEFINITION:
DEFINITION:
7. Services are characterized by their
intangibility, inseparability (being produced
and consumed simultaneously), variability
(due to the human element involved), and
perishability (inability to be stored).
The primary goal of marketing services is to
create awareness, generate interest, and
ultimately attract customers to avail themselves
of these intangible services.
9. WHAT IS A SERVICE ?
SERVICE IS "A DEED,
A PERFORMANCE,
AN EFFORT"
(RATHMELL 1966).
This definition aligns with
the core concepts of services
marketing, emphasizing that
services are not tangible
products but rather the
result of specific actions or
efforts aimed at satisfying
customer demands.
10. EXAMPLE OF A SERVICE :
A haircut is an intangible offering. You can't
touch or hold a haircut; it's an action or service
provided by a hairstylist.
the service is the act of cutting and styling hair
to meet the customer's needs and preferences.
The hairstylist's expertise and the customer's
involvement in the process are crucial aspects
of the service experience, making it a clear
illustration of a service in the context of
marketing.
11. CHARACTERISTICS OF
SERVICES :
SERVICES ARE DISTINGUISHABLE FROM
PHYSICAL GOODS BY SEVERAL
CHARACTERISTICS. THE MOST EASILY
RECOGNIZABLE OF THESE IS THE
INTANGIBILITY OF SERVICES. SERVICES
ARE ALSO PRODUCED AND CONSUMED
SIMULTANEOUSLY,LACK
STANDARDIZATION, AND ARE
PERISHABLE. ALL OF THESE
CONDITIONS SET SERVICES APART
FROM PHYSICAL GOODS.
12. Most services cannot
be produced and
stored before con-
sumption. They exist
only at the time of
their production
It is hard for a service
organization to
standardize the
quality of its service
performance.
For most services,
the production and
consumption of the
service occur
simultaneously.
A service cannot
be seen touched,
held, or put on a
shelf.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SERVICES :
Intangibility
Simultaneity
Heterogeneity
Perishability

26. The services can be categorized
based on the types of customers
they serve into two primary
classifications: Consumer Services
and Business-to-Business (B2B)
Services.
28. Nature: Consumer services are typically
open to the general public and cater to the
preferences and needs of individual
consumers
Examples:
Consumer services cover a wide range of industries
and include services that are prominentlyvisible in
communities, such as banks (retail branches),
schools,hospitals,gyms, and more.
30. Examples:
B2B services encompass a broad spectrum of service
providers that offer essential services to other
businesses, such as professional service firms (law firms,
consulting firms), and more.
Nature: B2B services often operate behind
the scenes and are less visible to the
general public compared to consumer
services. They focus on meeting the specific
needs and requirements of businesses
rather than individual consumers.
31. Consumer and B2B services play
crucial roles in the economy, and the
strategies and approaches for
marketing, customer engagement,
and service delivery may differ
based on these classifications
33. CHRISTOPHER
LOVELOCK
Christopher Lovelock was a prominent
expert in service marketing and a
renowned academic born on November
21, 1935, in Great Britain.
One of Lovelock's most notable
accomplishments was co-authoring the
widely acclaimed textbook "Services
Marketing:
People, Technology, Strategy" with
Jochen Wirtz.
34. LOVELOCK'S CLASSIFICATION OF SERVICE MARKETING
Lovelock proposed a classification system for services
marketing based on six criteria. Two main aspects of this
classification system are:
The Nature of the Service Act and to whom the
service is directed
THE NATURE OF THE SERVICE ACT
Tangible Services: Physical actions perceptible
through the senses where there is a visible
effect on the customer's body or appearance.
Such as health or personal care
Intangible Services: Lack physical presence,
focus on providing knowledge, expertise, or
experiences such as online education.
35. To Whom the Service Is Directed
Tangible Acts on a Person: entail
physical interactions directly impacting
the customer's body or appearance.
Such as vacations, and airlines.
Intangible Acts on a Person: these
services are directed at individuals but
do not involve physical contact. They
impact the customer's knowledge, skills,
emotions, or mental state. Examples
include online education and
legal consultation.
36. Tangible Acts on a Thing:
Physical actions on possessions, such as repairs.
Intangible Acts on a Thing: Actions on non-evident items, such as
financial consulting
Intangible Acts on a Thing:
These services involve actions on customer possessions or
physical items that are not physically evident or tangible, such
as insurance services.
37. As a result , Lovelock's classification system provides a
framework for businesses and service providers to tailor their
strategies and operations to meet the specific needs of their
service offerings

services firsthand.

services as products
are the ones we
directly enjoy , while
facilitating services are
the behind-the-scenes
services that make the
main services possible .
Both are importanat in
ensuring a smooth and
enjoyable customer
