    • QUOTE: Product differentiation is a marketing process that showcases the differences between products. Differentiation looks to make a product more attractive by contrasting its unique qualities with other competing products. Successful product differentiation creates a competitive advantage for the product's seller, as customers view these products as being unique or superior.

      Product differentiation can be as simple as packaging the goods in a creative way, or as elaborate as incorporating new functional features. Sometimes differentiation does not involve changing the product at all, but creating a new advertising campaign or other sales promotions instead.
      Product differentiation determines what sets one product apart from other similar products, and it uses that difference to drive consumer interest. Product differentiation is often subjective, aiming primarily at altering customer perspective on one item when compared to another, even if the actual differences are minuscule or entirely aesthetic. Ideally, it demonstrates that the product cannot only do everything the competitor items can, but that there is an additional benefit, such as additional features, higher overall quality or a lower cost.
