Enhancing the value of the project:

Value creation is creating a positive perception in the public mind about a product or service, with the aim of attracting more customers and improving sales.

The concept of "valorisation covers a a range of strategies and tactics intended for highlighting unique and differentiating qualities of a product, service or even an entire brand. This action goes beyond simply selling something; it's about showing the target audience why they should be interested and is therefore offered and how it could benefit yous in ways they may not have considered.

Key Aspects:

  1. Clarity and Transparency: It is not just about highlighting positive features, but doing so in an honest and transparent way to build trust with the customer.
  2. Identification of Unique Value Propositions: Every product or service has something that makes it unique. Valorising means identifying this element and communicating it effectively to the potential customer.
  3. Contextualisation: Depending on the target market, a feature may have more or less value. Knowing the audience and adapting the value proposition to their specific needs is crucial.

  5. Client experience: Value is not only about the product or service itself, but also about how it is delivered and the customer service that accompanies it. A good experience can significantly increase perceived value.
  6. Effective Communication: This involves the strategic use of different communication channels, from digital marketing to direct sales, to get the message to the customer.

Example:

Imagine a company that sells high efficiency hoovers. While its product can be more expensive than others on the market, the company decides to "showcase" its hoover by demonstrating how its superior filtering technology can contribute to a healthier home environment, removing allergens and particles that other hoovers cannot. They publish studies, testimonies and comparisons to support its value proposition and thus appeal to a market segment willing to pay more for additional health benefits.

In this sense, "to put in value". functions as a lever which helps changing customer perception about the product, aligning it more closely with the advantages and benefits that the product or service really offers. This change in perception can be instrumental in increase competitiveness, attract more customers and ultimately, boost sales and profitability.

  1. Content Generation: It can help in creating relevant content such as blog articles, whitepapers, or even product descriptions that highlight the unique features and benefits of your proposition.
  2. Communication Strategy: It can provide ideas for marketing messages that highlight the most valuable aspects of your product or service, thus assisting in the creation of an effective narrative that attracts more customers.
  3. Competitive Analysis: It can provide a framework for analysing the competition and highlighting the elements that make your offer unique, thus enhancing its perceived value.
  4. Pricing Consultancy: Provide guidance on how the perception of value can affect your pricing structure, and how pricing strategy can in turn affect the perception of value.
  5. Decision Support: Help you weigh different aspects of a value proposition to decide which is most critical to your target customer, and how to communicate it effectively.
  6. Sales Training: It could generate scripts for the sales team, focused on highlighting the value of the product or service during conversations with potential customers.
  7. Customer Service: It can be programmed to provide highly informative and helpful customer support, which in turn increases the perceived value of your service or product.
  8. Market research: Although it cannot browse the internet, artificial intelligence can help you design surveys or questionnaires that help you better understand what your customers value most, so you can put those elements at the heart of your value proposition.
  9. Feedback and Continuous Improvement: It can help you collect and analyse customer feedback to continuously adjust and improve your value proposition.

By using artificial intelligence in these ways, you will be able to improve the way in which communicate the value of your product or service, which could result in a increased sales, higher profit margins and better customer retention.

They worked on analysing her value proposition and how to "value it" to attract more customers.
