Service marketing
1.
2. a service as an act or performance that one
party can offer to another that is basically
intangible and does not result in the
ownership of anything. Its production may or
may not be tied to a physical product.
Services are activities, benefits or
satisfactions which are offered for sale or
are provided in connection with the sale of
goods.
3. The American Marketing Associations
defines services as “(1) activities, benefits
or satisfaction which are offered for sale,
(2) are provided in connection with the
sale of goods”. The services described in
the second half of the definition are those
included in the sale of goods to the
customer, viz., pre-sale and after sale
services, e.g., services on installation of
machinery, its maintenance and repairs,
credit and delivery services etc.
4. There are two main segments in the consumers
market. One is the ‘products segment’ and the
other one is the ‘services segment’. The
products segment is the basic and old and hence
well-known and understood by its consumers.
for the services sector, the marketing concept
was not recognized earlier due to following
reasons not warranting the needs of marketing
efforts:
i. Services sectors were initially in the limited
areas like, Banks, insurance, hospitals,
ii. These were mostly in government sectors,
iii. Number of players was very small; hence
there was no competition environment.
5. The most comprehensive definition of a
service has been given by Philip Kotler, who
defines a service as an act or performance
that one party can offer to another that is
essentially intangible and does not result in
the ownership of anything. Its production
may or may not be tied to a physical
product.
6. Intangibility(there is no tangible product
that the customer can be seen or touched )
Perishability:(services can not be saved,
stored, resold, or returned)
Inseparability:((simultaneous activity of
production and consumption being
performed)
Variability:(can not be uniform )
Involvement(a service can not be
separated from its provider, but neither
can it be separated from its user.)
