Frequently asked questions

What are the four characteristics of services?

Services are intangible, so they cannot be seen or touched before purchase. They are inseparable from the provider, variable in quality depending on who delivers them, and perishable because they cannot be stored for later sale. Each feature creates its own marketing challenge.

What is the difference between search, experience and credence qualities?

Search qualities, such as colour or price, can be judged before buying. Experience qualities, such as the taste of a meal, can only be judged after purchase. Credence qualities, such as the skill of a surgeon, are hard to judge even after the service is consumed.
