buying. It consists of the core, problem-solving

benefits that customer seeks.

• Actual product represents five characteristics: a

quality level, product and service features, styling

(design), a brand name and packing that delivers the

core benefit to the customer.

• Augmented product represents additional customer

services and/or benefits of the actual product.

bundles of benefits that satisfy their needs.

• When developing a products, marketers must

first identify the core consumer needs that the

product will satisfy. They must then design the

actual product and finally ways to augment it

in order to create the bundle of benefits.

• Today most competition takes place at

augmentation level.

• Augmented benefits soon become expected

benefits.
