A. Shopping goods aren't bought very often, are bought only
after the consumer has compared their features with those of competing brands,
and are found in only a few stores in one area. These goods usually have a
higher unit price than convenience goods, and an individual salesperson, rather
than a cashier, may be needed to sell them. Examples of shopping goods are
automobiles, furniture, men's suits, ladies' wear, shoes, and major
appliances.B. Specialty goods like prestige automobiles,
photographic equipment, fine jewelry, and high-fashion clothing and furniture
are bought by consumers after a special shopping effort. They are bought
infrequently and are generally available only in exclusive outlets. They're
usually high-priced, but price isn't the main consideration of a consumer buying
them. A consumer is often willing to go out of the way to find a certain
brand. Specialty goods prove the point that goods are often
considered not just for their physical qualities but also for the economic
utility, ego enhancement, status, and satisfaction they carry with them. For
example, when people buy a new car, they may want it not just for basic
transportation but also for recognition, status, or prestige.
You've probably figured out that this classification of consumer goods is
far from rigid. It may differ according to buyers' intent or wishes. As
consumers' incomes and buying habits change, or as prices drop, goods shift from
one classification to another. Usually they shift downward, from the specialty
to the shopping, or from the shopping to the convenience goods category.
Television sets became shopping goods years ago. When microwave ovens first came
on the market, they were regarded by many as an expensive new toy a kind of
specialty goods-for the rich. Now they're considered indispensable shopping
goods by working couples and single people who buy them to save cooking
time.C. Durable goods can be further classified as either
consumer goods or industrial goods, each of which requires a different set of
marketing strategies. Consumer goods are used by the consumer or household that
buys them and come in a ready-to-use form that calls for no further industrial
or commercial processing. On the basis of how much effort a consumer takes to
obtain them, consumer goods can be further subdivided into (1) convenience
goods, (2) shopping goods, and (3) specialty goods.D.
Durable goods have physical qualities and uses that permit them to last a
relatively long time, even while being used. They're designed to be used up over
an extended period of time and are made of materials that will take considerable
wear and tear. For example, you probably own such durable goods as a car, tape
deck, cassette player, TV set, or stereo that should remain usable for several
years—or at least until the warranty runs out. Houses are built to last thirty
to fifty years or more. Refrigerators and mattresses both have a life expectancy
of about twenty years, and quality jewelry, silverware, china, and furniture are
frequently handed down from one generation to the next. The fact
that a product is durable influences its whole marketing strategy. Obviously,
goods like these are packaged differently, sold more personally and
aggressively, and priced higher than a tube of toothpaste or a bottle of
shampoo.E. Instead of being bought by the ultimate consumer,
industrial goods are used by businesses to produce other goods or to provide
services to consumers. These goods are usually bought by institutions such as
manufacturers, utilities, government agencies, contractors, wholesalers,
retailers, hospitals, and schools that use them in producing their own products
or services. Buyers of these goods usually provide prospective suppliers with a
description of the product or service and request that bids or price quotations
be submitted. The buying decision is usually based on technical performance,
cost, or expected monetary gain. There are many types of
industrial goods, but the most common ones are (a) raw materials, (b) component
parts, (c) installations, (d) transportation systems, (e) tools, (f) equipment,
(g) materials, and (h) supplies.

填空题{{B}}PART ONE{{/B}}·Look at the statements below and the article divided
into five extracts about setting customer expectations on the opposite
page.·Which extract (A, B, C , D or E ) docs each statement 1-8 refer
to?·For each statement 1-8, mark one letter (A, B, C , D or E ) on your
Answer Sheet.·You will need to use some of these letters more than once.
{{B}}A
Extract 1{{/B}}You are not providing
product or service to yourself, so even if you are convinced that you have your
finger on the pulse of the buying public, you must remain objective in your view
of how others see you. How do you do this? Simply ask your customers and
prospects! Most of them will be happy to tell you how they feel about dealing
with your business. However, if you can't find the time or wherewithal to ask
customers directly, then enlist the assistance of a third patty to collect this
information for you. But once you have this information, turn it into
knowledge by using it to improve your customer interactions!{{B}}B
Extract 2{{/B}}If there are any difficult
but necessary policies or procedures that your customers must navigate through
in order to do business with you, don't sugarcoat it by pretending that it's
simple or nonexistent. Instead, take some time to come up with a well
thought-out explanation of the issue, and provide clear, detailed, and easy to
find directions for addressing the issue. Usability testing for any automated
system is a must!{{B}}C
Extract
3{{/B}}Not to be condescending, but many times we axe so familiar with our
product or service that we unconsciously feel that everyone has the same
understanding we do. Assume that explanations and definitions are necessary, and
then provide customers the option of passing them by when they are not needed.
Web sites am great for this, as terms and phrases can be presented in hypertext,
where a user can click on the text and a definition or example can pop up in a
new window. Don't make your customers have to seek out understanding of
your product or service. Many of them will not pother with the effort, and
simply move on to a competitor who provides a clearer presentation of what they
do, and the benefits therein.{{B}}D
Extract
4{{/B}}You and your competition are going after the same market. Obviously,
some of that market is choosing a competitor instead of you. Why is that? What
is it that the competitor is doing to present itself, its business, and its
benefits, which appeals to certain segments of the market? Identify, understand,
and utilize these things to your advantage. If there are aspects of your
competitors’ business that can improve your offerings, then borrow them and make
them your own. If you can do them better, by all means, do them and let
customers and prospects know. You are never the only game in town; your market
knows that, and you need to know it, too.{{B}}E
Extract 5{{/B}}Be specific when you promise something, and by all means,
deliver on that promise. If something prohibits you from delivering on that
promise, you need to notify the customer as soon as possible, be upfront about
why you cannot deliver, and inquire as to what you can do to make amends. Your
business's credibility is at stake, so do not take this lightly. Otherwise, the
expectations that you've set for your customers will be one of disappointments,
which is a surefire way to kill your business.
