Meaning &
Definition of Services
♠ The American Marketing Association defines services as - “Activities,
benefits and satisfactions which are offered for sale or are provided in
connection with the sale of goods.”
♠ According to Philip Kotler, “A service is any act or performance that
one party can offer to another that is essentially intangible and does
not result in the ownership of anything.”
♠ The Service Industries Journal Defines “Services as any primary or
complimentary activity that does not directly produce a physical
product, this is the non goods part of transaction between
buyer(customer) and seller (provider).

Nature and Scope of Services
1. Intangibility—Customers can’t see, touch, or smell
a. Intangibility signifies inability of seeing, feeling, touching and weighing, services are intangible and do not have a physical
existence. Therefore customers can’t see, touch, or smell service.
b. This is most defining feature of a service which primarily differentiates it from a product, in case of tangible products a
customer can inspect and judge the product, however this may not be possible in case of services.
SERVICE
HOW IT IS DONE? (BY DEVELOPING ABSTRACT IDEAS)
Banking
Anticipate consumer needs, simplify the experience, and learn from every interaction and maintain
customer’s trust and belief.
College
Education
By providing a conducive learning environment in terms of Library, Computer Labs, Interactive Learning,
Recreational Facilities, Hostel facilities, Classrooms and Lectures.
Movie Theatre
Offer a exceptional consumer experience through state of the art projection and sound systems, unique
ambience, e-booking, specialty food, which can be ordered and delivered on ones seat!
Credit Cards
By offering services and benefits based on customer lifestyle
Insurance
Developing trust, offer the best value for money, and set the standards in dealing with customers.
In order to demonstrate the tangibility of a services firms assess the customer's
perception of an experience and derive a clear picture of customer expectation
from the service and also craft a set of enforcements and provide physical cues to
reassure the customer experience.
Nature and Scope of Services
2. Perishability—Customers have to use it or lose it.
Christopher H. Lovelock well know author of
Services Marketing says, “Lost opportunity in a
service business is rather like having a running tap
in sink with no plug. The flow is wasted unless
customers or their possession that require
servicing are present to receive it”.
a. Perishability refers to feature of a service
that makes it impossible store, return or
resell, thus services are highly perishable
compared to physical products.
b. The perishable nature of services creates
difficulty for both customer and marketers.
2. Perishability—Customers have to use it or lose it

Nature and Scope of Services
3. Variability—Lack of consistency in service performance
a. Variability characteristic of a service explains inability of services providers to offer same level of service consistently, this
means that even the same service performed by the same individual for the same customer can vary.

rendered by counter staff it may vary.

content. Sometimes students backgrounds and interests also comes into picture, the lecture that you find
fascinating might put your friend to sleep.
Thus element of variability in services is quite common on account of a large measure of the “human element”

3. Variability—Lack of consistency in service performance
Nature and Scope of Services
The following are some of the measure to overcome service variability
Strategy 1
By adopting good human resource management practices
• The personal interaction between consumers and service providers is the heart of most service experiences.
• Therefore it is important to recruit right candidates and also adequately provide training, commission based salaries to develop
customer orientation in employees.
Strategy 2
Standardizing service delivery:
• The standardized service delivery involves use of successfully designed principles and practices that focuses upon improved output.
• This involves use of strategies like First time right, flowcharts and standard operating procedures to guide service providers in offering a
uniform level of service and guaranteed results.
Strategy 3
Understanding customer:
• It is important for marketers to carefully understand all relevant buyer behaviour and service usage characteristics.
• Understanding customer and responding to their needs is the heart of the servicing process, Marketer should be highly concerned about
customer satisfaction.
Strategy 4
Feedback and Follow up:
• In order to understand the perception of customer about the service offered, customer’s views about service performance has to be
collected through surveys and feedback.
• The outcome of response collected from the respondents (Customers) can be represented in form of a graph, chart or map which will
help marketer to understand satisfaction level of the customer and take appropriate actions.
Nature and Scope of Services
4. Inseparability—Produced and Consumed simultaneously
a. The characteristic of a service that means that it is impossible to
separate the production of a service from the consumption of that
service.
b. On account of technological advancement the skill and expertise of
doctors, cooks, beauticians, lecturers and the other service provider
can now be detached—meaning they can made available on
internet, phone etc.

service.
Augmented services:
• The Augmented service is a
supportive benefit provided to
enhance the value of core service.
2. On the basis of inseparability:
Inseparability of service means service provider and consumer must interact or meet a specific
time and place mutually agreed upon in order to derive the benefits of the services.
Inseparable services:
Semi-separable services:
• This includes services that cannot be
separated from the service provider,
These services are produced and
consumed simultaneously.

society without any intension of return from the
beneficiary, a good portion of services are
represented by non-marketable services.
4. On the basis of people orientation:
Customers' expectations play a critical role in their service experiences and evaluations, in order to meet
these expectation personal interaction between consumers and service providers plays an important role.

Conceptual Framework: Market Mix
 The term "marketing mix" became familiar after an article written by Neil H. Borden published in
1964, Borden began using the term in his teaching in the late 1940's after he learned about it from
an associate, James Culliton, who had described the marketing manager as a "mixer of ingredients".
 This ingredients consist of planning, pricing, branding, distribution channels, personal selling,
advertising, promotions, packaging, display, servicing, physical handling, and fact finding and
analysis.
 Edmund Jerome McCarthy an American marketing professor in 1960, reduced the Marketing Mix
concept & grouped these ingredients into the four elements:
 Product
 Price
 Place and

management
• This involves generating ideas for new products on the basis problems faced by consumers or based on
customer needs. These ideas come from customers, distributors, people within the company, and research
conducted by the company.
• This involves studying the competition, industry and overall business environment and finally preparing
SWOT analysis.
• The creation of products with new or different characteristics to meet the needs of the customers.
• This involves managing the product throughout its product life cycle. Life cycle of product includes various
stages like introduction, growth, maturity and decline stage.
Product imitation involves
reproducing similar products
existing in the market, even if
they do not exactly compete
within the same market
sector. The general rule is
that imitation is lawful unless
products protected by
exclusive rights are imitated,
that is unless trademarks or
trade names or industrial
designs are imitated.
Marketers must differentiate
claearly between imitation
and copying.

increase sales by offering a product or service that will meet the demands of almost any consumer.
2. Product Line

characteristics, manufactured by a single company. The objective of having product lines is to ensure that all
products within a line are purchased by all kinds of consumers.
3. Product mix width
The number of different product lines a marketer produces, a marketer can expand its operations by adding more
product lines to its product mix and also reduce the risk of putting all its eggs in one basket by developing several
different product lines.
