Similar to how desserts are made,
products undergo
5 levels of development
to ensure customer satisfaction
Level 1: Core Benefit
www.jeandeguzman@blogspot.com
www.jeandeguzman.blogspot.com
-the fundamental need or want that consumers
satisfy by consuming the product or service
-similarly, desserts also need
a CORE ingredient
Level 2: Basic Product
www.jeandeguzman@blogspot.com
www.jeandeguzman.blogspot.com
-a version of the product containing only those
attributes or characteristics absolutely necessary for
it to function
-before an apple
can become a dessert, it will
need BAKING
Level 3: Expected Product
www.jeandeguzman@blogspot.com
www.jeandeguzman.blogspot.com
-the set of attributes or characteristics that buyers
normally expect and agree to when they purchase a
product
-after baking,
what we can expect to see is
an apple pie that looks and
tastes pie EXCELLENT
Level 4: Augmented Product
www.jeandeguzman@blogspot.com
www.jeandeguzman.blogspot.com
-inclusion of additional features, benefits, attributes
or related services that serve to differentiate the
product from its competitors
-what can set our pie
apart is if we serve it ALA
MODE
Level 5: Potential Product
www.jeandeguzman@blogspot.com
www.jeandeguzman.blogspot.com
-all the augmentations and transformations a
product might undergo in the future
-Why stop at a pie
when you can make a
CUPCAKE?
