{ Determine services to provide for customers When a business determines which services to offer its customers, it should consider: The nature of the product What its customers want or need If the business has the available resources (e.g., personnel, financial) to provide the service the costs associated with providing the service

Customized services are services that are developed to meet individual customer's needs and wants. However, offering customized services does not save a business time. In fact, customized services take more time, not less. Standardized services are services that are as homogeneous as possible. Determine services to provide for customers

Services have the ability to enhance the customers' overall satisfaction levels with the business. When satisfaction levels are high, the business is most likely to gain repeat business. Increased sales volume, higher profit margins, and increased customer satisfaction are benefits associated with providing services to customers. Reasons for providing services for customers

Businesses must determine how much each service they provide to customers will cost the business to provide. Customized services are more expensive to offer than standardized services. Businesses charge higher prices for customized services, which can lead to higher profit margins. Determine the costs associated with providing services for customers

Example: When a business extends its operating hours, it must pay the employees to do the work. Therefore, the cost associated with extending business hours is the payroll expenses. Determine the costs associated with providing services for customers
