• Product concept is the understanding of the dynamics of
the product in order to showcase the best qualities and maximum
features of the product. ... Marketers will look into a product
concept before marketing a product towards their customers
• Here is an example of a product concept statement for a company
that is introducing a new in-cup tea brewing system: Example:
Many people enjoy drinking tea, but are concerned about the
environmental impact of discarding teabags, some of which are
made from bleached paper or contain non-biodegradable materials
13. • Selling Concept
• Put more stress on sales promotion efforts
• The selling concept holds the idea- “consumers will
not buy enough of the firm's products unless it
undertakes a large-scale selling and promotion
effort.”
• the management focuses on creating sales
transactions rather than on building long-term,
profitable customer relationships.
• In other words, the aim is to sell what the company
makes rather than making what the market wants.
Such an aggressive selling program carries very high
risks.

industrialist were following the production concept of more supply

marketing, it’s your goal to be the preferred option compared to
your competitors. Competitive advantage is key!
