    what is Product Attributes?"Attributes" are simply properties of a given product, brand, service, advertisement or any

    object of interest. A product can have many attributes including cost, value for money,

    prestige, taste, usability, liking ("affect") and a wide range of image or personality attributes.

    Product Orientation:

    Product orientation is where the main focus is the product and not the market. A product ismade so that it meets its own needs and not that of the markets, the needs of the customers are

    secondary to that of the products. A good example could be the buggati veyron, it was only

    created to prove it could be done and the market is so small that looking at that is irrelevant.(www.tutor2u.net )

    Market Orientation:

    Business approach or philosophy that focuses on identifying and meeting the stated or hiddenneeds or wants of the customers, through its own or acquired products.

    (www.businessdictionary.com)

    Marketing orientation is the most outward oriented out of these three, towards the customers.

    Needs, perceptions, values of customer play greater role in decision making for thesecompanies.

    (www.marketingprofs.com)

    Sales orientation:Sales orientation focuses on their sales force, its ability, capacity to sell, costs of sales

    operations rather than customer needs.(www.marketingprofs.com)

    Production orientation:

    Production orientation pertains to mental model of top executives of any company whichattempts to sell what they can produce. Here the focus is on production and production

    capabilities rather than on the customer needs
