14. Challenges of Service Marketers
How would you define and improve service quality- exact definition not there
Eg. Services provided by a dentist is difficult to define. Likewise, it is difficult to
compare services provided by two different doctors.
How would you design new service and how can one test when it is not there.
Eg. The high price at KFC might not attract general income earners although it is a
multinational company.
One can’t store and one cant always match demand and supply and bring it in
equilibrium
How can one set up price when it is difficult to determine the actual cost of
production
Eg. It takes years and years, huge amount of money to be a dentist. If the dentist
charges Rs.5000 to his/her patients, then people might not visit him/her
because it is too expensive. But for dentist, it might be a fair price as he/she has
completed dentistry devoting his/her time and huge amount of money.
15. Challenges of Service Marketers
Service can’t be patented
One cannot communicate your service
It is always difficult to motivate and select right worker
How would you set up standard
One cannot expect services to be good all time
