Value Proposition
What value do we deliver to the customer?
Once you know who you are providing to, then you can appeal to them with a value proposition. This part goes further than just stating your product/service, by expressing why your product/service is valuable. Below are 11 elements that contribute to customer value creation. Select which one(s) pertain to your value proposition and reflect how:
Newness
Fulfills an entirely new set of needs that customers previously didn't perceive because there was no similar value proposition.
Performance
Improves product or service performance.
Customization
Tailored to the specific needs of individual customers.
Getting the job done
Helps customers get a certain job done.
Design
Stands out because of superior design.
Brand/Status
Stands out because of the popularity or respect of a brand/status.
Price
Offers a similar value but at a lower price.
Cost Reduction
Helps customers reduce their own personal costs they would take on without the product/service.
Risk Reduction
Offer customers a chance to reduce their own risks. (Ex. 1-year guarantee)
Accessibility
Provides to customers that previously lacked access to product/service.
Convenience/Usability
Provides customers an easier way to use a vital product/service. (Ex. iTunes)
