Services have four mojor characteristics.This major characteristics are considered by a firm when designing marketing programs.These 're-

1. Service intangibility:  Service intangibility means that it can't be seen , felt, heard, smelled, tasted before they're bought by a consumer. For example:  airlines travels,its passengers have only ticket & promised their luggage will arrive safely at the destination.

2. Service inseparability: It means that service can't be separated from their providers.When a employee provides service then the employee becomes a part of the service.

3. Service variability:  It means that service quality depends on who provides them as well as when, where & how they' re provided. For example: Arong have reputations for providing better service than others .It provides better quality, design, features, efficient, & customer loyalty.

4. Service perishability: It means that services can't be stored for later use or sale. For example: a patient needs treatment immediately then the doctor can't keep on waiting the patient. Another example is fire service can't wait for sometime for providing their services.
