Services
Service - any activity or work that one party can offer the other, characterized by the absence of the proposed material tangibility of such activities and not expressed in possession of something.
A service from the point of view of marketing is a sale object in the form of an artist’s action, bringing benefits to the consumer or a useful result. In the process of providing services, a new, previously non-existent material product is not created, but the quality of an existing, created product changes. These are goods provided not in the form of commodities or exchange, but in the form of activities. The very provision of services creates the desired result for the consumer.
Services have four main characteristics that significantly affect the development of marketing programs:
- intangibility - it is impossible to demonstrate, see, try, transport, store, pack or study. All this is possible only in relation to the final result (it was - it became);
- inseparability - a service can be provided only when an order arrives or a client appears, i.e. services are provided and consumed simultaneously;
- variability (non-standardization) - customers are direct participants in the service process and affect its final result;
- impossibility of storage - unlike tangible goods, they cannot be made for future use.
