Elaborate your Value Proposals
• Value proposals include products and services, which deliver value to a specific customers’ segment. This set of products and services motivates a customer to chose between an organization or another. A value proposal can for instance create an unique competitive position while proposing completely new products or services, or which have very innovating characteristics. One can also offer an added value while offering customers a supplementary service in comparison to its competitors. Example : “nature and culture” holidays for small budgets
• Promotion builds on Value proposals
