PACKAGING āPā AND MARKETING MIX
PACKAGING “P” AND MARKETING MIX
Packaging, often considered as one of the “P” in the marketing mix (7Ps), traditionally pertains to physical products. However, in the context of service-selling industries, the concept of packaging can be extended to cover the aspects of how we present our service, how we deliver it and what overall experience of the service being offered.
While the tangible aspects of packaging, such as physical materials and design, may not apply directly to services, the broader concept of packaging remains crucial. In service industries, packaging can encompass elements such as branding, presentation, convenience and perceived value.
For example, in industries like hospitality or tourism, the way a service presented and delivered – from the quality of interactions with staff to ease of booking and the ambiance of the environment – can greatly influence customer satisfaction and repeat business.
Similarly, in sectors like consulting or professional services, packaging can involve aspects such as the expertise and professionalism of the staff, the clarity and transparency of the service offering, and the effectiveness of communication throughout the engagement.
In essence, while the concept of packaging may manifest differently in service-selling industries compared to product-selling ones, its importance remains undeniably high. Effective packaging enhances the perceived value of services, strengthens customer relationships and contributes to overall business success.
