Understanding the difference between a product and a service on Zealock

On Zealock, you have the option to list your offerings as either a product or a service. While the process of listing them is similar, understanding the difference is key to getting the right customers for your business.


What is a Product?

A product is any physical, tangible item that a customer can buy. It is something you can hold, see, and deliver.

Examples of Products on Zealock:

  • Clothing, shoes, and accessories

  • Electronics and gadgets

  • Food items, groceries, and drinks

  • Furniture and home goods


What is a Service?

A service is an intangible skill, task, or activity that you offer to a customer. It is something you do for them, not something you give them.

Examples of Services on Zealock:

  • Hairdressing and beauty services

  • Graphic design, web design, or copywriting

  • Plumbing, carpentry, and electrical work

  • Tutoring or professional consulting


Why the Difference Matters

When you choose whether your offering is a product or a service, Zealock's system helps you get the best results by connecting you with the right customers.

  • Better Search: Buyers specifically looking for a service (like a plumber) will be shown your listing, and those looking for a product (like a phone) will not be distracted by your service. This ensures you get more qualified leads.

  • Targeted Information: When you list a product, you can provide details like size or color. When you list a service, you can provide details like your availability or pricing models. This makes your listing more professional and helpful for customers.

  • Clearer Analytics: By separating your products from your services, you can easily track which type of offering is performing better and focus your efforts on what your customers want most.
