Respuesta

I know that the question may sound obvious, but it is very important to think about the
definition of a product to understand what it requires in order not to fall into oblivion.
According to the marketing mix concept, introduced by Philip Kotler, a product is a good
that is intended to satisfy the needs, intentions, or problems of a consuming market. The
definition encompasses many kinds of items, doesn't it? chairs, candy packs, cellphones,
Computer programs, and many more. If today you had to choose between a typewriter and
a computer to write content, which would you choose? Unless you collect heirlooms, I
imagine the computer would sound much better to you. The comparison between these two
products tells us something about their cyclical nature. Until computers emerged, the
typewriter was the main device for writing documents, messages and texts of all kinds.

we can venture to present the most satisfactory and appropriate actions for each moment.
The effort to extend the relevance and usefulness of the product requires an integration of
the various sectors of the company that manages it. The Sales team's pitch, for example,
should ensure that prospects are made aware of the innovations made by the IT
professionals in the product. To ensure that transition, the Marketing team is in a very
valuable position. It is essential that this department closely monitors the life cycle of the
product, since the message that it will send to the market changes according to each stage.If
you want to know more about the importance of integrating the actions of the Marketing
and Sales departments, check out this e-book that we prepared on the concept of
Ventarketing.

As we recommended before, you can launch an MVP so that people have a first experience
with the simplest version of the product. At this time, leaving an investment margin for
promotions will be essential as the price becomes attractive for the initial purchase. In
addition, the communication actions must accentuate the innovative nature of the product.
we offer something totally unpublished, the content that will be produced will focus on its
originality.
