Do your customers have a reason to believe?

Positioning against the right customer value state is what separates generic brands from essential brands.

Psychological

Psychological value taps into our emotions, desires and sense of belonging. Luxury brands might evoke feelings of sophistication and exclusivity. Automotive brands might elevate our sense of individualism or prestige. By creating physiological connections, brands can foster loyal and devoted followers, and often command a premium.

Functional

Often pragmatic or utilitarian, functional value is related to the benefits and costs of an offering based on its performance. De-commoditizing and creating competitive differentiation are what separate generic brands from trusted brands. Dyson and Maytag are purely functional, yet they own a leadership position by delivering a consistently differentiated value proposition across every channel.

Monetary

Monetary value isn’t just about price, it may include incentives, discounts, contests, preferred loyalty rewards etc. When used as part of a larger promotion or marketing strategy, monetary value can be a key influencer in demonstrating the value your brand provides to the customer and help drive lead generation, customer acquisition and retention.
