When defining the actual product, pick ONE of the elements in the diagram - brand name, features, design, quality level, or packaging - and explain what you will offer through that ONE element. When defining the augmented product, pick ONE of the elements in the diagram-delivery and credit, after-sale service, product support, or warranty - and explain what you will offer through that ONE element.
