  11. Why does he choose specific products/services? Because they help me • Do something (Functional) • Express myself with others (Social) • Experience something enjoyable (Psychological) (c) 2014 Prof. Mary Caravella

  15. Your product is a tool to help customers create value for themselves. The more you understand customers and what they value the more likely you will create value (c) 2014 Prof. Mary Caravella

  16. Functional value: helps solve a problem or achieve a goal • Social value: connects with or distinguishes from others; expresses something about self to others • Psychological value: interesting, enjoyable, anxiety-reducing, satisfying (c) 2014 Prof. Mary Caravella

  17. The sensors found in smart phones and Nintendo Wii controllers have migrated into Black & Decker’s cordless 4v MAX Gyro, billed as the world’s first motion-activated screwdriver. Tilt it right by a mere quarter of an inch and it screws clockwise to tighten; left, and it turns counterclockwise—all thanks to an internal gyroscope that senses wrist motions, which are measured by a small microprocessor that turns those movements into changes in the drill’s speed and direction (c) 2014 Prof. Mary Caravella

  18. Now that we better understand WHY people choose what they do, we turn to HOW they do it (c) 2014 Prof. Mary Caravella

  25. We’re opening a deli, we’d like Sam to find us “I need lunch” (c) 2014 Prof. Mary Caravella

  26. Sam likes to get outside of work during his 30 minute lunch break. He usually walks with a few of his coworkers to one of the nearby fast food places, but lately has been packing lunches– he’d like to eat healthier, but doesn’t want to make his friends change their lunch routine. What is Sam’s “decision journey” (DMP)? (c) 2014 Prof. Mary Caravella

  27. Identify key decision criteria • When Sam chooses a place to eat for lunch… • What is non-negotiable? (“must haves”) • Can get in and out in 30 minutes • What other things does he consider? (potential “differentiators”) • Healthy food • Friends can get food they like too (c) 2014 Prof. Mary Caravella

  30. Some direction.. • Will what we design create value for customers? • Work to understand all the dimensions of customer value: functional, social and psychological, that customers evaluate against costs • Understand which product attributes are must haves and which are differentiators • Use brands to signal (and deliver) intangible benefits • How will customers find us? • Work to understand the customer decision journey (DMP) • Understand what is most likely to trigger a search, where they are most likely to search and what causes them to stop searching • Use brands to create mental shortcuts related to your positioning (c) 2014 Prof. Mary Caravella
