Elements of Value

  • Modeled after Maslow's hierarchy
  • Different pieces that customers all attach some value to
  • Customers generally need to have elements at bottom met before valuing ones at top
  • You can charge more for values closer to the top of the pyramid
    • Conversely, when charging more money, find ways to add value higher up
  • Quality (how good it does its job) affects loyalty more than any other value
  • After quality, the most important ones are industry-specific
