18. Tiering Service Products with Branding
18
• Branding is not only used for core services, but also to clearly differentiate different
service levels.
• Often based on offering several price-based classes of service concept, each is based on
packaging a distinctive level of service performance across many attributes.
• This phenomenon, known as service tiering, is particularly evident in industries such
as hotels, airlines, car rentals, and computer hardware and software support.

25. • Six key components of Brand Equity
• .
• Company’s presented brand — Mainly through advertising, service facilities, and
personnel.
• External brand communications — From word-of-mouth and publicity. These are
outside of the firm’s control.
• Customer experience with the company — What the customer goes through when
they patronize the company.
• Brand awareness — The ability to recognize and recall a brand when provided with a cue.
• Brand meaning — What comes to the customer’s mind when a brand is mentioned.
• Brand equity — The degree of marketing advantage that a brand has over its competitors.
Building Brand Equity
• It is the value premium that comes with a brand. The additional amount that customers
are willing to pay for a branded service over a similar service that has no brand.

• Not every core product is surrounded by supplementary elements from all eight
clusters.
• The nature of the product helps to determine which supplementary services must be
offered & which could be added to enhance value & help the organization to do
business.
• Customer-processing services tend to be the most challenging in terms of
supplementary elements especially hospitality, since they involve close customer
contact.
• The Flower of Service and its petals discussed afore can serve as a checklist in the
ongoing search for new ways to augment existing core products and to design new
offerings.
SIDDHARTH TIWARI 2018BA_03

34. Conclusion
Designing a service product is a complex task that requires an
understanding of how the core and supplementary services should be
combined, sequenced, delivered, and branded to create a value
proposition that meets the needs of target market segments.
