4A in marketing

The 4A model refers to a marketing strategy that determines whether a product or service is worth offering to a group of customers. The first point is affordability, which is primarily seen from the customer's point of view.The second is availability, which is the overall accessibility of how advertising can help the brand reach the customer. The next point is awareness, which refers to how well known the product is. The final point is acceptability, which is either awareness of the product or willingness to try the product or service.

 

Acceptability:

Acceptability refers to the extent to which a product or service meets the needs and expectations of the target audience. It is the degree to which a product or service is perceived as valuable, relevant, and satisfactory. Acceptability is influenced by factors such as product features, quality, and performance.

Affordability:
