Product development starts with customer’s need.
Product Development = Existing Market + New Product
It may be a consumable product or service.
It is 3D:
Discover
Develop
Deliver
By Philips Kotler
Idea Generation: The Basic idea is created and described
Idea Screening: The costs, Profits and potential sales of the offering are calculated at different price levels. Also check the competitive strategy
Features Specification: Its features and pricing are established. Detailed specifications of the Product are developed
Development: The actual offering is designed
Testing: The offering is tested, first in the lab and then with real customers
Commercialization (Launch): The offering is made available to the customers
Evaluation: The offer is evaluated as to whether it is delivering the appropriate value to consumers, as well as meeting the firm’s business goals

It is not necessary that every product follow this Life Cycle. (e.g. Style, Fashion)
Product Development: Sales are zero + Investment costs are high + Profits are negative
It is started when the company develops a new product idea
Introduction: Low sales + Negative Profit + Little Competition + Innovators are targeted + High cost per customer acquired
Marketing Strategies: Product + Price + Place + Advertising + Sales Promotion
Growth: Rapidly Rising Sales + Rising Profit + Average cost per customer + Early adopters are targeted + Growing competition
Maturity: Sales peak + Low cost per customer + High Profits + Middle Majority are targeted + competition begins to decline
Marketing Strategies: Product + Price + Distribution + Advertising + Sales Promotion
Decline: Decline Sales + Low cost per customer + declining profits + Laggards are targeted + declining competition
Marketing Strategies: Product + Price + Distribution + Advertising + Sales Promotion

Product Class (Soft Drink)

Marketing is nothing but to build a profitable customer relationship.
Marketing is the methodology of communicating the value of a product or service to customers, for the purpose of selling that product or service.
1. Brand platform is the excitement and adventure of the outdoors + Customer’s expectation with a servant’s spirit
2. An electronics website might want to create a “place” for customers to discover and be delighted by innovations
3. The objective is to identify the different experiences the organization delivers and to articulate the requirements and objectives of each
4. Different target segments have different needs — some customers may value convenience over price, others may be looking for an entertaining experience — so their desired experiences vary. Describe each segment with a profile and a needs inventory, including key drivers of purchase decisions and brand perceptions.
5. Prioritization criteria include profit potential, fit with long-term strategy, competitive advantage and differentiation, resource requirements, and how the experience affects and/or reinforces brand values and brand position.
6. All the levers of customer experience — product, service, content, channels, touch points, pricing, facilities, sensory engagement, etc. — should be considered and described in the design.
7. Now the architecture is ready to be inspected for integrity and coherence. Is the brand platform expressed throughout every experience? Do the discrete experiences contribute to the overall customer experience strategy? Do experiences complement and enhance each other, or do they conflict or detract from each other?
Tip#08
There is never an absolute in business no matter what industry you are in and no matter how much money you have made. And that is why Buffett has been so successful. Nothing is ever certain, the market is always changing and there is NEVER one business, one industry, one investment, one strategy or one system that will always work.
Keep your eyes open to what works, takes smart risks, keep a balanced approach and know that there are many failures on the path that leads to success!
