4 Examples of Presenting Product Life Cycle by PPT Diagrams
The concept of the product life cycle is widely known among business theoretics and practitioners. Such PLC analysis, if done properly, can alert a company as to the health of the product with the market it serves.
Transform your business presentations with our expert resources. Discover more on our business performance presentations webpage.
This blog is aimed to show various ways to present the concept of this life cycle to the audience. From the simplest matrix to a metaphoric chart, as well as overview examples of particular lifecycle stages.
You can find all the icons and slides Product Life Cycle Curve (see details by clicking the pictures).
Let’s start our journey through the Product Life Cycle illustrations examples. See how you can show it in a creatively engaging way.
#1: Big Numbers Matrix with an Arrow
You can notice the word ‘cycle’ is neatly placed in the middle. With a little effort, you can recreate a similar 2-by-2 matrix yourself, too. The numbers behind every cell will help your listeners to focus their attention on one or another point.
#2: Illustrating PLC Stages with Icons
On this matrix and chart examples, every stage is presented by a symbol: a rocket, charts, going up and down, and a medal. On every slide sample, you have a place for a short description so you can mention the details of each step.
#3: Four Product Phases Represented by Age Groups
This is my favorite slide 🙂 because of mapping product maturity stages to human life metaphor. We all can easily refer to it.
Here, every part of the curve is illustrated by people’s icons of different ages: from a sweet little newly-born child to an aged man.
#4: Bottle Life Cycle as Timeline
We added an example of a bottle life cycle. Starting from the very start product stage – acquiring raw materials, to the last one – segregating waste and recycling.
In overall, this diagram infographics shows seven stages of the product lifecycle – an extended version of the standard 4 stages.
Why use PLC concept visualization by diagrams?
For companies interested in continued growth and profits, a successful new product strategy should be viewed as a planned totality that looks a few years ahead. A product strategy should try to predict the character, and timing of competitive and market events.
This I see as the main values of the life cycle visualization – analysis and clear communication of all product stages. Read more in the Exploit the Product Life Cycle article.
