Examples might be a trash service, emergency medical support, etc.

A product might be books on how to start a business or a service might be seminars on how to quit smoking. • Need for customization • Product/service examples are home decoration, fashion wear, personal portraits, etc. • Need for quality, durability, etc. • Product examples are mountain climbing gear, carpenter's tools, etc. • Degree of a product/service ingredient • Segmentation based on prospect preferences is common.
