Activity or benefit that one party can offer to another that is essentially intangible and does not result in the ownership of anything. Its production may or may not be tied to a physical product.

Specific Characteristics of Services

7 Ps of Services Marketing

Marketing services is different from marketing goods, and the marketing tools and practices developed for goods marketing are often not directly transferable to the marketing of services. There are several major differences, including: * The buyer purchases are intangible * The service may be based on the reputation of a single person * It 's more difficult to compare the quality of similar services * The buyer cannot return the service
4 P 's product promotion placement and price
The differences have resulted in a divergence in the education of services marketing versus regular marketing. Apart from the traditional "4 P 's," Product, Price, Place, Promotion, there are three additional "P 's" consisting of People, Physical evidence, and Process.

Product

Product refers to the creation of a service concept that will offer value to target customers and satisfy their needs better than competing alternatives. This consists of a core product
