Many
thanks to 2Brothershosting / Webgatorz
for a job well done! By sheer luck we
were recomended by a friend, & on
that note put our trust in them. we were
amaized by the quality, & value for
money. I only gave Chris@2Brothershostings
a few surgestions of what our requirements
were, and he did so much more which has
made our website what it is today. Do
bare in mind we are a new company on a
budget, just imagine what they could do
for you, & your buisness! Take a few
minutes of your time to look threw our
website, & judge it for yourself.
We
were quoted by one company £11,000 for the website we wanted, I know it's
a big website, but I just about fell over.
But then WebGatorz gave me a quote of
just £1,040.
I don't have to tell you, who we went
with.
Many
thanks again for your cooperation and input,
keep up the good work. I feel you will do
well at this web site stuff. Because your
prices and quality are far better than anybody
else.
Here
are the phases in the life cycle of a product.
• Introduction
• Growth
• Maturity
• Decline
The rate at which a product goes from the early stages
of introduction to the final days of decline can vary
dramatically.
Eight track audiocassettes passed through this cycle
rather quickly. Vinyl records lasted much longer but
they have now become almost totally obsolete, as compact
disks have emerged as the dominant form of audio reproduction.
In the same way, the DVD is starting to replace VHS
videos.
The automobile, on the other hand, has been solidly
in the maturity stage for decades and is likely to
remain there for quite some time to come.
The product life cycle influences many of the decisions
made by both manufacturers and retailers.
Manufacturers must seek new products just entering
the introduction phase to replace the dwindling revenues
from the products in the decline phase. Similarly,
retailers must make their product selection decisions
with an eye toward where products are on the curve.
They must also choose between investing promotional
expenditures in products that may be starting to show
a diminishing return as opposed to channeling the
money into new products that have not yet been embraced
by a wide segment of the consuming public.
There are risks involved either way and some retailers
are more open to giving new products a chance than
are others. Often, the decision is heavily influenced
by the broader position of the product category in
general rather than a specific product offering within
the category.
While a specific product might be quite new, the overall
category into which it fits might be solidly into
the maturity stage of the product life cycle with
strong consumer awareness and a healthy level of regular
sales.
But, regardless of the overall time involved, every
company knows that it must always be alert to new
product opportunities to bring into the cycle to replace
those approaching the decline phase.
This need to identify new product opportunities has
become even more significant in recent years as more
consumer product segments reach maturity and become
saturated.
We must also define what we mean by “new” product.
This term is generally understood to encompass products
that are truly new inventions, formulations, designs
and technologies.
However, the term also includes introductions that
entail the repositioning or repackaging of an existing
product. Slightly more than half of the products included
in the “new introduction” category are, in fact, original
products not previously offered on the market.
A little more than one-third of the products are classified
as repositioned products and slightly more than one-tenth
represents new packaging developments.
