marketing mix and is an integral part of a service blueprint
design. The service marketing mix consists of 7 P’s as compared
to the 4 P’s of a product marketing mix. Simply said, the service
marketing mix assumes the service as a product itself. However
it adds 3 more P’s which are required for optimum service
delivery.
The product marketing mix consists of the 4 P’s which are
Product, Price, Place and Promotion.
