II. CONCEPT NOTES

PRODUCTS VS. SERVICES

While a product is something that can be measured and counted, a service is less concrete and
is the result of the application of skills and expertise towards an identified need. A product is something

1
you can point at, whereas a service, as The Economist defines it, is any activity "you can't drop on your
foot".
One thing to keep in mind is that products and services are closely aligned. In fact, a majority of
products carry with them an element of service. For example, when a consumer buys a car, the product
comes with a lot of other service responsibilities, such as tune-up and maintenance.

PRODUCT- is a tangible item that is put on the market for acquisition, attention, or consumption
Examples: foods, tools, gadgets, fruits, vegtables, furnitures,appliances, etc.

SERVICE- is an intangible item, which arises from the output of one or more individuals
Examples: cleaning, cooking, teaching, painting, washing, etc.
