Define the terms of consumer market and business-to-business market. Differentiate the contrast between the two types of markets! #
Answer:
The consumer market deals with the consumer who buy products for their use and not for resale. However, the habits and choices of consumer can vary. In business-to-business, market goods and services are not sold to public. Rather, the goods are sold to other businesses. It is also termed as industrial market. The major difference between the consumer market and business-to-business market is that business-to-business market sells good to businesses and consumer market sells goods to consumers (MCHUGH, 2016).

What is the concept of a product life cycle and how does the theory work? (Minimum of two paragraphs) #
Answer:
The product life cycle describes the overall period of the product from its production or manufacturing to the market. It describes the production phases of the product and its arrival in the market. It also describes the removal of the product from the market (MCHUGH, 2016).
The product life cycle has four stages. These include introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. The theory starts from the introduction phase. It is that phase when a product enters the market. Second phase is the growth phase when the product starts its marketing and starts making place in the market.
Next come the stage when the product becomes mature in the market and makes its place and name in the market. The last stage is the decline stage when the market rejects the product or ask for change and replacement (KENTON, 2018).
