Product and Sustainability
- A product can be tangible (physical object) or intangible (service) offered to satisfy a customer's need or want.
Levels of Products

- Augmented product: includes the image and service features, emphasizing intangible benefits.
- Generic product: emphasizes the impact on the consumer, signifying the purpose of its existence.
Types of Products
- Goods: physical products sold to the consumer or final user.
- Durable goods: long-lasting, expensive, and high-quality (e.g., steel, stainless, appliances).
- Non-durable goods: quickly consumed, inexpensive, and easily damaged (e.g., plastic, cartons, paper).
- Services: intangible products measured by future preferences (e.g., salon and spa, education).
- Characteristics:
- Intangibility: cannot be displayed, transported, stored, packaged, or inspected before buying.
- Inseparability: service provider and service cannot be separated.
