Assignment • Create 10 Flash cards based on the following concepts • Product Width: Contraction • Product Width: Expansion • Why would a company want to narrow its products? • Product Depth: Shallow • Product Depth: Expansion • Product Item • Trading Up • Trading Down • Alteration • Product Positioning

  19. Product Mix Example

  20. Product Mix • Product Width is either narrow or broad • Narrow Product mix occurs when a company offers a limited number of product lines • Also known as Contracting • Why would a company want to narrow its product mix? • Easier on management • Cost effective • Simplicity • Consistency

  21. Product Width: Narrowing • In 2009; General Motors (GM) filed for bankruptcy protection • They were told they needed to cut back • GMC • Cadillac • Buick • Chevy • Pontiac • Saturn • Saab • Hummer

  22. Product Width: Broadening • Companies seek to expanding their product width by making it broader • Expanding allows you • Reach more markets • Gain a competitive edge • Example of product width is Red Lobster • Specialize in seafood • Sell pasta, chicken, & steak to broaden product mix

  23. Product Depth: Expanding • Product Depth expandswhen more product items are added to a product line • Why would you expand on a product line? • Wider Variety • Greater Quantity • Dillards choosing to sell more colors, sizes, styles of Levi Jeans

  24. Product Depth: Shallow • A shallow product depth occurs when there are less products offered in a product line • Why would you contract your product depth? • Cost Effective • Example would be Red Lobster selling chicken on its menu • Usually only 2-4 menu options • Not cost effective to offer a wider variety

  25. Product Mix Strategies • Companies devise strategies for their products so that they are profitable • Existing product strategies • Alteration • Trading Up • Trading Down

  26. Product Mix Strategy: Alteration • Alteration occurs when an existing product is altered • Improve an established product with new design, new package, &/ or new uses • Example: Jeep Company

  27. Jeep Changes Over Time

  28. Product Mix Strategies • Trading Up • Occurs when a company adds a higher-priced product to a line • Trying to attract a higher-income market • Want to improve the sales of existing lower-priced products. • Prestige of high-priced item makes brand look better

  29. Product Mix Strategies • Trading Down Adding a lower-priced item to a line of prestige products to encourage purchases from people who cannot afford the higher-priced product, but want the status.

  30. Product Positioning • Positioning: actions marketers take to create a certain image of a product in the minds of the customers • In Relation to a Competitor • A common strategy when a firm is trying to solidify an advantage over another firm. • Example: Southwest Airlines promotes itself as the low-cost alternative • In Relation to a Product Class or Attribute (Features & Benefits) • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUNjCx7w11k

  31. Product Positioning • In Relation to a Target Market • Focusing on the unique characteristics of specific users can also be effective. • The …For Dummies series of instruction books are attractive to people who want to learn about a topic from a source that doesn’t assume any prior knowledge on the reader’s part. • By Price and Quality • Offer economy, mid-priced, & luxury lines • High Price = Quality Ford Mustang • Low Price = Greater Value Ford Focus • Difficult to change • Absolut Vodka • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL4EsZv_ltU • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt7eOs7iG2Y

  32. Class Activities • Flash Cards - After 10 minutes into a lecture or concept presentation, have students create a flash card that contains the key concept or idea.
