Goods are those tangible products that consumers can physically possess. Services are intangible products involving a deed, a performance, or maintenance that can not be physically possessed. Take an automobile for example; when a consumer purchases a car, he takes ownership of a physical item. But the warranty associated with the purchase is the service. The basic concept of services is to satisfy customers’ needs. In other words, the seller must provide the right service for the right people at the right place and at the right time. The seller must also communicate with consumers to make them aware of the services available to them. To understand the question of services, it is necessary to make clear the characteristics of services. Services have four basic characteristics: Intangibility, inseparability of provision and consumption, perishability and diversity. Intangibility stems from the fact that services are performances. They can not be seen, touched, tasted or smelled, nor can they be possessed. Related to intangibility, is inseparability of production and consumption. Services are normally produced at the same time they are consumed. Because provision and consumption occur at the same time, services are also characterized by perishability. Finally, because most services are labor intensive, they are diversified. That’s to say, there are maybe variation from one service to another or from day to day.

But you’ll be more impressed by our after sale service.
How is it?

How long will you get your products repaired in case of any trouble?
We can deal with it properly. Repair’s taking maximum of three days.
