There is one thing that makes customers make purchases from a certain business, something that motivates groups of people to continually shop from the same company, despite the hundreds of alternative products available on the market – something that makes that particular organization better than any of the rest, in the eyes of the consumers, and that’s the value proposition.
Having a great value proposition, oftentimes means increasing a company’s conversion rate and improving the marketing strategies that are already in place across all of the available channels. Furthermore, one of the most important marketing activities for businesses today is to have an efficient and compelling way to present the value of their products or the company itself.
The value proposition is whatever value the business promises to deliver to its consumers once they make a purchase. Put simply, it’s what makes that product attractive to the ideal target customer base. Furthermore, there are three criteria when making a compelling value proposition to customers – the benefits of the purchase are very specific. They are focused on solving an issue, and it’s very exclusive, which makes it desirable.
The value proposition should hone in on what the customers will get by making a purchase, and that should rarely focus on the product itself or the features. Instead, it should be all about how the business or its products can fix a pain point that’s meaningful to the consumers, how it can improve their lives, and the great way it will make them feel in the end.
The first step in creating a good value proposition is to interview some of the company’s customers or create a survey to better understand how they speak about the business – both to themselves and other people, like their friends and family. The customers tend to use certain words or phrases when talking about a business they enjoy shopping with, which means they can become common phrases or words.
This language can then be further used to make the entire value proposition as clear as possible. It should clearly state the product that’s being marketed, the target audience for the product, what improvements will consumers see when they get it, why that’s the best product on the market, and when the customers will receive that value. It should be a couple of sentences at most, and every word should be efficient.
Instead of focusing on superlatives, such as “this is the best product”, businesses should be focusing on the distinct benefits and the concrete values that their product delivers to their customers.
Finally, there are different value propositions that a business can use, such as a company, a category, a homepage, or a product value proposition, which is the one we’ve narrowed down here. Each one fits on the respective website pages, and each one should be differently worded in a way that highlights the benefits that the consumers will get from the products or the company itself.
