Kotlers Five Product Levels Model Kotler changed the way marketing was viewed by contending that it was not a singular department, separated from all the others, but that marketing as an activity was an organization-wide responsibility. He asserts that the definition of a product goes far beyond being a physical object or a service. Kotler s Five Product Levels Model includes: Core Product Benefit The basic need or want that the customer satisfies when they buy the product. Generic Product - A basic version of the product made up of only those features necessary for it to function. Expected Product - Features that the customer expects the product to have. Augmented Product Any product variations or extra features that might help differentiate the product from its competitors Potential Product - All improvements the product might experience in the future. 1 Want more best practices?
