Explanation:

A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.

A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.

Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;

1. Introduction.

2. Growth.

3. Maturity.

4. Decline.

Maturity is the stage in which product experiences a peak in sales growth and then eventually slows as the product reaches more customers, and lastly price competition is fierce.

Promotional expenses that are incurred at the maturity stage of the product life cycle are often designed by marketers to maintain market share. This is usually achieved through further product differentiation and finding new buyers (consumers).
