What a difference a value proposition makes!

September 9, 2009 by Charlie

From today’s Harvard Business Daily Stat:

76% of frequent fliers would switch airlines in order to have Wi-Fi access in the air, according to a new survey by Wakefield Research and the Wi-Fi Alliance. 71% would prefer Wi-Fi over a meal, and 55% would change their travel plans by a day to avoid being out of touch during the flight. 94% say Wi-Fi is “the best thing airlines have done” in the last three years.

OK, admittedly these are stated versus revealed preferences, but obviously, such behavioral change in a relatively short period of time requires a value proposition that is compelling and relevant.

Makes me wonder what value propositions we are putting forth in the green industry that would cause similarly stark behavioral change??? Could it be emphasizing the quality of life enhancements that we offer???

As usual, feel free to weigh in with your own thoughts…comments welcomed.
