Limitations of the PLC
1. The life cycle concept applies best to productforms rather than to classes of products orspecific brands.
2. The life cycle concept may lead marketers tothink that a product has a predetermined life,which may produce problems in interpretingsales and profits.
3. It is only a descriptive way of looking at thebehavior of a product and the life cycle cannot predict the behavior of a product.

Decreasing the Product Line
• Product Line Contraction: – Firms must consider deleting products
when:
• They are not successful.
• They reach the decline stage of PLC.
• Long product line marketing costs are
too high.
