Marketing 2.08 2.08 Analyze product information to identify product features and benefits

What is a Feature? “What is it?” A feature is a physical characteristic or quality of a product. It is something the customer can touch, feel, smell, see, or measure It helps describe the product. A feature answers the question, “What is it?” Ex: color, style, size

What is a benefit? What’s in it for me? the personal satisfaction or advantage that a customer wants from a product. It is how the feature helps a particular buyer For customers, it answers the questions: How will I benefit? What’s in it for me?

Feature/ benefit chart

Feature/Benefit T-chart 2 products, 2 charts 5 features 5 benefits

Obvious benefits Advantages that need little explanation by the salesperson. Ex: Neutral colored carpeting What is the obvious benefit? Even if benefits are obvious, salespeople should still point them out and use them to prove the value of the product to customers

Unique or exclusive benefits Advantages that are available only from your product or business. Ex: a car that “parks” itself is a novelty Offers a huge benefits to customers that have trouble parallel parking Ford Focus

Hidden benefits Advantages that cannot be seen or understood without the assistance of a salesperson Ex: buying a pair of shoes You can see the color and style You can not see how comfortable they are until persuaded to try them on Ex: purchasing a computer Warranties/24-hour helpline

Feature-benefit charts Step One: Find your product’s FEATURES Construction and materials: What is the material? Who makes it? How is it made? What’s the difference between these two items? Appearance and style Appearance is a dominant factor in many buying decisions Customers consider color, line, and design in everything they buy – cars, clothes, accessories, appliances, furniture, etc.

Feature-benefit charts Step one cont’ Unique or novel features Having desirable features that your competitor does not have Durability How long a product will last and give dependable service Product uses What the product will do and how it can be used Service and warranty Especially important when selling products such as appliances, electronics, and cars

Feature-benefit charts Step two: Know where to get facts about product FEATURES The product itself Use the product and information provided Customers Testimonials Manufacturer’s brochures and publications Other sales personnel Promotional materials Product bulletins Catalogs/manuals

Feature-benefit chart Step Three: create a feature-benefit chart After you know what type of information you need and where to obtain the facts about your products, prepare a feature-benefit chart List all the product’s features, beginning with the ones that a customer or client will see first List the less-obvious or hidden features For each feature that you identified, ask, “what does this mean for the customer?” Write each benefit beside its feature A feature can provide more than one benefit
