7. There are four components of a product
The innermost core represents the generic product. This component is the
rudimentary item (tangible or intangible) without which there would be no
product
The expected component of product concept represents customers’ minimal
expectations that exceed the generic product itself. The generic product cannot
be sold unless those expectations are met.
These factors are variables of the product that are “must-haves”. They do not
motivate the sale of the product itself, but lack of them can “demotivate” the
sale.
