3Unit 2 Product Life Cycles The traditional product life cycle consists of five stages. introduction growth maturity decline decision point

4Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Introduction Stage When a product is first introduced a product launch occurs. It may occur regionally, provincially, or nationally, depending on predicted demand.

5Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Introduction Stage Launching a new product is very expensive, so initially the price is high. Costs involved include: machinery, set-up, training, promotion, storage, packaging, market research. – PS3 during the introduction stage was $900 – Microwaves when they were introduced cost $999

6Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Introduction Stage Who buys at this stage? Curious people, those who always want new things first: -early adopters -trendsetters.

7Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Introduction Stage Main purpose of marketing is to inform the consumer about new products and to establish the value equation as early as possible. – Communicate the benefits that this product/service will offer you

Product Life Cycle Products currently in introduction

Growth Stage growth

10Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Growth Stage After adopters find and use a product, others will follow. The product is visible, consumers see/hear others use it. Reputation spreads through word of mouth and advertising.

11Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Growth Stage Manufacturers advertise heavily—will the product profit or fail? The product may even be scrapped at this stage. If it is and it has lost money, it is called a bust.

12Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Growth Stage The faster a product reaches the growth stage, the sooner it starts making a profit. The first company to enter a market will pay the most for development and advertising, but it will have a major advantage: no competition.

Growth Stage

14Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Growth Stage As competitors enter the market, companies strive to maintain their market share: the company’s sales as a percentage of the total for the market.

15Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Growth Stage Factors preventing companies from realizing profit are called barriers to entry. – These may include: small market size cost of R&D ad expenses equipment costs...

16Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Growth Stage Eventually only the most competitive products remain on the market. Competitors stimulate market growth through advertising and wide distribution.

17Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Growth Stage A company may produce a low-priced version of a product to establish a minimum price for a specific line, called a low-end product. Usually not sold under a well-known brand name.

Growth Stage

19Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Maturity Stage The period during which sales start to level off maturity

20Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Maturity Stage Marketers keep the brand name in front of consumers. Often the success and longevity of the product is highlighted.

21Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Maturity Stage Because major costs have been recuperated and the cost of sales and distribution is low, products usually make large profits during this stage.

22Unit 2 Product Life Cycles Maturity Stage Often times companies will take this profit to develop new products and product launches. EXAMPLE: Disney took profits from its amusement parks to launch a cruise ship line. This also expands their brand name into a new market.
