producto gancho

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Marketing / Market Research Getting into new markets
SPAIN. I know what they mean here (in fact I already have one idea of my own so far), but I'd like to see what our colleagues come up with.


"El primer producto de esta línea es SSEUG, un producto gancho para entrar en el mercado de la distribución masiva por sus características."

Thanks everyone for helping out I'm choosing Lisa's answer because of all the helpful links she provided. However, I had more or less decided to use "gateway product" as my translation before posting the query to see what our colleagues would suggest.

The touch also helps drive iTunes revenue; however, iTunes, has a very low operating margin. • Most important is the touch’s role as an **entry product** into Apple’s iOS family. Approximately 60 million iPod touches have been purchased, out of 160 million iOS devices. Apple is using iOS to drive its growth, and the touch is a major contributor. • TBR views the iPod touch as a youth product, geared toward younger demographics. The device offers customers the same messaging, video chatting with FaceTime and Skype, and gaming capabilities as the iPhone without requiring customers to purchase an expensive data plan. As such, we believe the device is a strong entry-level product.** It can hook customers on SOURCE**: APPLE iOS, providing Apple with cross-selling and upselling opportunities across its product portfolio.21 Apple 4Q10 | Computer Business Quarterly ©2011 Technology Business Research, Inc.

Gimmick

I used "Gancho" as "Gimmick" in a book I am translating...

"It is one of those stores with a gimmick... The idea is that you add the ingredients you want to your loaf of bread and come back half an hour later to pick up your loaf"

Igual te puede servir...

Si no, "hook" o "bait" might work...

lure

Let's see if we can work around this: I don't like it as a noun/adjective so there'd be some rewriting to do.

Or maybe, going a bit further away, "a product to introduce clients/users to the market", if "luring them in" sounds to brazen.

Would it something of a *beacon*, to get people interested in this kind of product? I'm sure there are lots of alternatives if that is the direction you want to go in. *Flagship* even....

Gateway would certainly get my vote! I was thinking about products which open doors, entry products, etc, and that sounds much the best.

I've decided to call it a "gateway product", unless someone comes up with something I like better.

gateway

Possible negative connotations (the association with "gateway drugs") but it might fit in with the notion of "para entrar en el mercado ..."
Note from asker:
This is what I used in the end. I think it's the best option.
The gateway drugs canard is old hat and long discredited. I'm quite happy to use the term metaphorically in this context :-)

loss leader

Cabe en el concepto, pero por ser un producto que se vende sin utilidad o con algo de pérdida a fin de atraer al público y que el cliente gaste en otras mercancías que sí dejen ganancia.

Sin mayor CONTEXTO, no sé si será aplicable o no.
