Explanation:

In marketing, several concepts explain how businesses position their products and communicate their value to consumers. These concepts, such as Category, Segment, Added Value, and Functional Value, have direct real-world applications that illustrate their importance.

For example, the Category concept refers to the broader group to which a product belongs. Breakfast cereals fit into the category of food products and target various consumers. Segment, on the other hand, refers to a specific part of a larger market. For instance, a sweetened breakfast cereal targets a segment of consumers who prefer sweeter options in their breakfast choices.

Next, Added Value refers to the additional benefits a product offers over similar products. A logo of ‘Bata’ represents the added value of brand identity, offering customers more than just footwear—it’s about the trust and recognition that come with the brand. Functional Value focuses on the practical benefits a product provides. For example, painkiller ‘SS’ offers relief from pain, fulfilling the functional need for health care.

In summary, these concepts help businesses to strategically position their products, ensuring they meet the varying needs and preferences of consumers. By understanding the practical examples, we see how these abstract ideas come to life in the marketplace.
