INTRODUCTION
PRODUCT
At the heart of a great brand is a great product. Product is a key element in the market offering. To achieve market leadership, firms must offer products and services of superior quality that provide unsurpassed customer value. A product is anything that can be offered to a market to satisfy want or need.

Marketing Insight
Manufacturers, service providers, and retailers seek new designs to create differentiation and establish a more complete connection with consumers. Holistic marketers recognize the emotional power of design and the importance of how things look and feel. Design is now more fully integrated into the marketing management process.
Examples
The Scandinavian company Finlands Nokia, is credited with taking a little black blob with tiny buttons and turning it into an object of desire. Nokia was the first to introduce user changeable covers for cell phones, the first to have elliptical shaped, soft, and friendly forms, and the first with big screens. In the early 1990s, Nokia controlled only 12% of the global market for cell phones. Today, it is the world leader in handsets, with 38% of the market.
Swedens IKEA has become one of the top furniture retailers in the world in part through its ability to design and manufacturing inexpensive furniture that doesnt seem cheap.
After seeing some of their brands lose share to competitors with stronger designs and aesthetics, Procter & Gamble appointed a Chief Design Officer in 2001 and now hands out an A.G. Lafley Design award each year.
Awareness!
Sonys e-Villa internet appliance was intended to allow consumers to have internet access from their kitchens. But at nearly 32 pounds and 16 inches, the mammoth product was so awkward and heavy that the owners manual recommended customers bend their legs, not their back, to pick it up. The product was eventually withdrawn after three months.
