I just want to ask something because last Monday, we took our prelim exam. In our part 2 of the test, we are instructed to identify whether the following scenario or product are FEATURES, ADVANTAGES, and BENEFIT. Those questions are very difficult. I could write FEATURES but I have doubt with my answer. Can you explain me the difference among these three? Please site me an example.
Features are product characteristics such as size, color, horsepower, functionality, design, hours of business, fabric content, and so forth.
Benefits answer the customer’s question: Why would I want to own it? For example you can buy PC instead of Laptop so why should you waste extra money and buy a laptop?
Whereas advantage refers to the the quality of having a superior or more favorable position as compared to the substitute products. For example; you have decided to purchase a Laptop, now you have different choices i.e. you can buy laptop from IBM, Apple, or Dell. Each purchase decision has different sets of advantages attached to it. so basically products are competing on the basis of related set of advantages e.g. Dell products are reliable, long lasting, user friendly etc.
