FIVE PRODUCT LEVELS
Philip Kotler defined five levels to a product. These are described in the following slides.The customers choose a product based on their perceived value of it. Satisfaction is therefore the degree to which the use of a product matches the perceived value the customer had when it was purchased. The customer is satisfied only if the actual value is the same or exceeds the perceived value.
