Question

What are the unique challenges faced by service companies in marketing?

Service companies face unique challenges in marketing because their product is not a physical thing. Services are abstract and their effectiveness and value are hard to measure from a customer's perspective. This requires a completely different approach to marketing and selling than physical products. Service companies need to think differently and use effective strategies to grow their business.

Service companies often struggle with marketing efforts because their "product" is not a physical thing. Services are abstract and their effectiveness and value are hard to measure from a customer point of view. Harry Beckwith explains that marketing and selling a service requires a completely different approach than marketing and selling a physical product. Though contains "how-to" sections, such as "Quick Fixes", it is more of a "how-to-think-about book." Using entertaining and revealing stories from major corporations and artists to provide examples and drive home key points, Beckwith delivers effective tips and reminders that help service companies begin to think differently and grow their business.
