A market exchangeable (alternatively known as a marketable product or, simply, product; the exchangeable that has already been marketed is also called a marketed entity) is the component of market offerings that reacting customers perceive as valuable to be entitled to, to consume, to donate to, to earn, to hire, to own, and/or to trust to. These market offerings may increase or decrease the value of this exchangeable.

Benefit vs product

Frequently, marketables are called products and, sometimes, benefits. Although those three terms have a few interrelationships, their meanings are different.
Literally, product is anything that is produced. This term, product, has a wide range of applications:
In the overwhelming majority of cases, a marketable is a product; however, few marketables such as pets are not produced in some humanly-organized process and, literally, cannot be referred as products.
Similarly, marketables tend to represent benefits, but benefits are not necessarily marketables.
