Products in the contents of marketing does not necessarily refers to the physical object but the set of tangible and intangible attributes including packaging, colour, price and so on.

In other words, a product consists of the actual physical object, its package and its other attributes of colors, brand, image, design and so on.
The inability of a given product to yield the desired profit as usually recorded by the manufacturer and distributors calls for the need to either phase it off or ra ther innovate. On the other hand, a new product could be seen as either a product that is purely and currently introduced to the market for the very first time. Its existence in the market is very new for it's either introduced from its original or that; it is newly re-branded and renovated from an already existing product. Consumers of no doubt remind the king of all produced economic goods and as such, any commodity that falls under the reach of consumers is likely to record huge losses.

- To finally effective positively the use of market research before embarking on product introduction.
1.4 Research Questions
The following researched questions were considered adequate as regards to the success of the project.
