2. Where the usual
marketing mix focuses
on the product the
extended mix is more
about the customer
service.
3. Customers expect reliability and efficiency
when receiving a service.
e.g. Fast food restaurants with “drive thrus”
need to ensure the waiting time is as short as
possible.
Businesses are also looking to find new ways
of providing a good service to customers.
e.g. Apps for smartphones and tablets allow
businesses to monitor and update information
when required.
4. Hiring the right employees and providing
training to ensure the consumer is
receiving a high quality service.
Rewarding staff is important to encourage
hard work.
5. This is the furnishings and look of the
premises consumers enter.
In a coffee shop, everything from signage
down to the position of the seating has
been thought out to give the feeling of a
“third meeting place”.
