THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS
OF MARKETING
Marketing serves as a bridge between the
customer and the seller of products and
services.
Marketing makes buying easy for customers.
Marketing creates new and improved products at
lower prices.
Utility
The functions of marketing add value to a product
The added value to a product is called Utility
Utilities are the attributes of a product or service
that satisfy consumer’s wants and needs
There are five (5) utilities involving products
Form
Time
Place
Possession
Information
Form Utility
Involves changing raw
material; or putting
parts together to make
them more useful
Form Utility includes
making or producing
items
An Example of Form Utility
A Tree
In its original state it has value as an object of beauty,
supplies oxygen, prevents soil erosion, and
provides a home for animals.
When a tree is cut down and used in making other
products its usefulness changes. The raw material
becomes part of a new product that has a different
value.
Form Utility also takes place when a manufacturer
assembles parts into a product pieces of wood
assembled into furniture.
Place Utility
Time Utility
Having the product available at a
certain time of the year or a
convenient time of day
The value of the product is
increased by having it available
when consumers want/need them
Time Utility requires the marketer
to plan ahead in order to have the
right product at the right time
Toy companies introduce new toys
for Christmas every February at the
Toy Fair in New York City
Possession Utility
The exchange of a product for some
monetary value
Alternatives to cash may be accepted
In business to business situations, companies
grant customers credit
-- Credit Cards
-- Checks
-- Installment Plans
-- Layaway
Possession Utility is involved every time
legal ownership of a product changes hands
Information Utility
Involves affective communication with the
consumer about products or services
Examples of sources for information:
Sales Associates
Packaging
Tags and Labels
Advertising
Owner’s Manuals
Internet Sites
Telephone Customer Service
Benefits of Product Utility
 Added value increases demand, increased demand
allows manufacturers to produce in larger
quantities, therefore, reducing the cost of each item
 When a product becomes popular, the number of
merchants offering the product will increase, thus
increasing competition and reducing price
 Competition causes manufacturers to improve
products to better satisfy customer wants and needs
