What are the Objectives for Product Development?
Objective #1
To increase market share by developing new products.
The primary objective of product development is to increase market share. This can be done in a number of ways including:
Developing a new product or service category. Then, Develop a new product in an existing category. Creating a better product in an existing category. Leveraging technology to develop a better product or service.
This post will discuss each of these objectives and know how each works for product development.
Objective #2
To develop products that are innovative, unique, and differentiated from competitors’ products.
Secondary to the primary objective of increased market share is the objective of developing products. These are innovative, unique, and differentiated from competitors’ products. The key to building a successful company is to be the first in a new industry.
And to have the first product – and then make it better than your competition. This can be through innovation and differentiation on both the functional and emotional levels of design.
Objective #3
To maintain current market share with existing products by improving them in some way.
The third objective of product development is to maintain the current market share. Also, with existing products by improving them in some way.
This can be improving performance and services. Or quality in an existing category but keeping the basic product structure the same.
For example, if you are selling an existing product you might add a new feature that makes it more appealing to certain segments of the market or you could reduce costs by reducing materials and labor associated with manufacturing the item (see Associated Engineering).
Another way to maintain your current market share is to develop or expand distribution channels for your current business.
Objective #4
To improve distribution channels for existing products in order to increase sales volume without significantly increasing costs associated with production or distribution channels.
The fourth objective of product development is to improve distribution channels for existing products in order to increase sales volume without significantly increasing costs associated with production or distribution channels.
This could be leveraging existing distribution channels that are not currently being used to their full capacity or by opening new distribution channels that are not currently being used.
For example, if you’re selling a product through a wholesale distributor, you might decide to sell the product directly through your own retail outlets.
It could also mean that you open up a new retail outlet to sell your product in order to reach more customers than you could otherwise.
Objective #5
To create a brand name and image for a company, its products, or its services.
The fifth objective of product development is to create a brand name and image for a company, its products, or its services.
This is similar to the “Product Differentiation” objective discussed above except that it deals specifically with the company as a whole instead of an individual product line or service offered by the company.
In this case, the objective is about building and maintaining an image for your business that is unique from your competitors in the marketplace. This can be done through marketing and public relations campaigns.
