Customer Value
Value of a product within the context of marketing means the relationship betweenthe consumer's expectations of product quality to the actual amount paid for it. It isoften expressed as the equation :
Value = Benefits / Price
There are parallels between cultural expectations and consumer expectations.Thus pizza in Japan might be topped with tuna rather than pepperoni, as pizzamight be in the US; the value in the marketplace varies from place to place as wellas from market to market.
For a firm to deliver value to its customers, they must consider what is known asthe "total market offering." This includes the reputation of the organization, staffrepresentation, product benefits, and technological characteristics as compared tocompetitors' market offerings and prices. Value can thus be defined as therelationship of a firm's market offerings to those of its competitors.
Value in marketing can be defined by both qualitative and quantitative measures.On the qualitative side, value is the perceived gain composed of individual'semotional, mental and physical condition plus various social, economic, culturaland environmental factors. On the quantitative side, value is the actual gainmeasured in terms of financial numbers, percentages, and dollars.
For an organization to deliver value, it has to improve its value : cost ratio. Whenan organization delivers high value at high price, the perceived value may be low.When it delivers high value at low price, the perceived value may be high. The keyto deliver high perceived value is attaching value to each of the individuals ororganizationsmaking them believe that what you are offering is beyondexpectationhelping them to solve a problem, offering a solution, giving results,and making them happy.
