Christmas lights | Wool Yarn |
Q 2: Try to give a professional argumentation for your choice | The product is new introduced in the shop, has low sales because of the high cost, and has no competitors since it’s the only product of that type in the shop. | This product fits with “growth” because it has good rapidly rising sales and is well known by the customers. It is of good quality and the price is average, thus resulting in a lot of buyers. It’s a product that is always available in the Big Bazar store and has growing competitors. |
| The product has low costs, but the sales keep declining since it’s not used as often as many years ago. And basically, the profits are going down. The main customers are old people. |

Augmented: Standart warranty, no other benefits offered such as installation or free delivery. | Core benefit: Effectively cleaning laundry, tailored for specific cleaning purposes Actual: Popular brand with loyal customers, attractive design and packaging, good quality product with effective features for low price Augmented: no benefits offered, such as a warranty, free delivery, installation, maintenance | Core benefit: decoration for Christmas: lightens up the mood Actual: Brand name: HPL, quality low since it’s made in China; packaging appropriate for said product; features: round, shiny. Augmented Product: warranty given just like any other product. No extra warranty available. No after sales service, delivery, or product support. | Core benefit: Making clothes, blankets, carpeting etc. in your own way in your own style.
