- Customer can see product as a solution to his problem or satisfier to his need, so marketer must describe product in the term of customer’s solution (need) not in a physical attributes.
- Customer can see price as a cost, so marketer must make his product affordable and explaining the price for customer. He may also add values to his product to compensate high price.
- Customer can see place as convenience, Marketer must make his product available to customer and distribute it near to him.
- Customer can see promotion as a communication where he can get a lot of information about product features, benefits and usages. Marketer must provide him with regular information about his product.
