The Product Life Cycle shows how sales are likely to be generated throughout the market life of a product
Developement Significant time, money, and energy must be spent making sure that a product is ready for market Because no sales will be made at this stage, the cash flow will be negative
Introduction When the product is launched Focus is needed on the promotional part of the marketing mix, especially in consumer markets, to get the product onto the shelves and into consumers’ minds In this stage, often times the cash outflows are greater than the cash inflows
Growth When sales start to take off Different pricing strategies can be used depending on the market and the product being sold EX) new technology such as new computer software or game consoles will start out with higher prices but some other products will need to start out at a lower price in order to attract market share quickly In this phase, the cash flows will be turning positive and the product will start to make a profit as promotional costs are being spread over many more units
Maturity Sales stabilize and the product has reached its level in the market Because the product is now well known less money will be spent on promotion and the business can benefit from repeat business by satisfied customers Cash inflows usually exceed the cash outflows at this stage Here the business take the profits of its earlier spending
Decline Sales start to fall, possibly from newer or better products coming into the market Businesses must decide whether to let the product die or to prolong the life of the product by using extension strategies
