Product means the coverage design, limits, service features and claims proposition customers evaluate. Price involves premiums, deductibles, underwriting terms and the balance between affordability and risk-adjusted economics, not an invented rate card. Place examines the channel choices through which prospects and policyholders can be reached, while Promotion considers clear, compliant communication of coverage, exclusions and service expectations.
