During each stage, sales, profits, and required marketing strategies change. Not all products follow a classic bell-shaped curve, and there are alternative patterns. The stages are then described in more detail, focusing on introduction, growth, and maturity phases. Potential responses during maturity include market, product, and marketing program modifications. The decline stage is also briefly covered.
