Description

Product description with feature and benefit analysis This section of your marketing plan has THREE parts, both of which are required. Part One - Product Description Describe your product or service concisely, but specifically, in no more than three (3) double spaced pages and written in formal business style. The most important requirement for this assignment is that after reading it your instructor has a clear understanding of your product/service/non-profit, what it does for the consumer and how it works or functions. This is NOT a sales pitch. Do not use this section to promote or advertise your product. Product descriptions which do so will be penalized in grading. Rather, this is a factual and objective description of your product. Some information you typically include:  The name of your product  What it does  How it works (functionality).  What it looks like  Key design elements  What makes it special or unique Note: for services you should adapt the above list to fit an intangible product. Your concentration will be what services you provide for your customers.

The product i chose to write about is Teen Tracking Driving Device

Example: Product Description with Feature and Benefit Analysis NOTE: This example is for a dog training device called Invisible Leash. Your description and FAB chart may vary depending on your product or service. Note the formatting and double spacing. Problem The active dog owner has a number of options when selecting a dog training or containment system that best fits their needs. Do they want a physical leash? Are they concerned about harming the dog? Is the product as mobile as they are? Dog owners want the comfort of knowing that wherever they are, they can still have control of their dog. They want to jog at the park and take their “best friend” on trips with them. To this end, we believe that although the many invisible fences available fulfill a niche on the market, research suggests that our product is better equipped for a mobile, active person. Team Dog Collar recognizes that our product will not replace the traditional leash. Therefore, we will focus our promotion on people with active lifestyles, early adopters and “techies”. Since we are a providing a unique product in a broad market, direct competition is limited. “Invisible Leash” will, however, be up against higher end pet products that compete for the consumer’s pet related discretionary dollars. The specifications of The Invisible Leash, such as weight, quality, and ease of use are of prime importance to our customers. Our customers are active people and want a small, sleek, quality device that will fit into their active lifestyle. The Invisible Leash will be of top quality, in workmanship and choice of materials. The product will not be limited due to the nature of the building materials. Product quality control will be implemented from the initial design of the product to production. The Invisible Leash will have a product warranty on all parts and labor. Product Functionality and Design The product consists of two components. The human element is a phone-sized unit that functions as the control and the pet attachment is an electronic collar similar to those employed by existing pet management products. The control unit offers settings that allow the owner to set the “roaming distance” and the desired reinforcement, either a sound or, for more stubborn breeds, a mild electric shock. The control unit can also be set for an audible tone or vibration. When the pet strays more than the proscribed distance the unit signals the collar, executing the reinforcement and alerting the owner. Both units are available in a number of colors and sizes to fit any breed and compliment the owner’s personal style. We also offer a smart phone app that tracks the use of the unit, how far the dog has traveled in a day and other functionality that might be typically expected in an app. It is compatible with most major platforms, including many tablets. Invisible Leash is, of course, a product both newly designed and new to the consumer. Consequently, there are limited current issues of any significance with regard to product performance, customer satisfaction, market presence, or warranty concerns. Team Dog Collar has completed the design of Invisible Leash and is in the process of securing patents for both the design of the overall product and for the EPROM that contains the firmware used in the core functionality. Additionally, the product name has been Trademarked and the tag line “The Only Thing Visible About Invisible Leash… Are The Results” has been copyrighted. The core competency of the company and its staff is sales, marketing, and product innovation. Consequently, most other functions have been contracted to third party providers. Manufacturing will be outsourced to a Mexican firm, Matamoras Electronic Manufacturing, who has significant experience in small item consumer electronics. The firm has a good reputation for quality and there is substantial American investment and oversight. MEM is also equipped to package the product on sight.

Part Two - Features and Benefits You will find an in-depth introduction to features and benefits in Module Three. You MUST read this before attempting this assignment. Using a chart, similar to the one in the example below, list no less than FIVE features of your product with at least TWO customer benefits for EACH of the features.

Introduction
Teens have been reported to be the cause of most rods accidents in the country. It results from
high-speed driving and doing other activities when driving like operating a mobile phone. About
14% of the road accidents in the country are caused by the teens, aged 16 to 20years, resulting in
about 5000 casualties every year. Parents, therefore, are very cautious when they allow their
children to drive. They want to monitor their actions and minimize the exposure to road
accidents, as well as theft as carjacking is also a trending issue in the country. They, therefore,
put a tracking device in the vehicles their children drive, and get updates of the activities their
children engage in like the speed of driving, use of the mobile phone when driving and the exact
location the vehicle is at every time. Trackmo is, therefore, a brilliant tracking device they can
use since it offers all these features and give a report to the parents’ mob...
