SERVICE MAKETING
What is service marketing?
“Services include all economic activities whose output is not a physical product or
construction, is generally consumed at the time it is produced, and provides added
Value in forms (such as convenience, amusement, timeliness, comfort or health) that
are essentially intangible concerns of its first purchaser”.

The Special Characteristics of Services

�Intangibility:-
Lack of tangible assets that can be seen, touched or smelled prior to the purchase
eg.food at restaurants

�Inseparability of production and consumption

Simultaneous production and consumption of a service
Eg.The restaurant prepares food for customer when it is ordered .the customer
consumes the food at restaurant and the customer’s perception of quality will be
partly due to the interaction of the customer with the restaurant employees.

� Variability
Unwanted or random levels of service quality customers receive when they
patronize a firm.Eg.the quality of service will depend on how well the food is
prepared b the cook. Even the same may not prepare the food exactly same way
each time

� Perish ability
Inability of service to be inventoried or stored
Eg.the food is prepared when the customer places the order. Some food may be
cooked in advance, but the actual order is prepared only after it is ordered, it cannot
be inventoried or stored for a later time.

 Product
 Price
