Customer Value Reflects Benefits and Costs Customer value concerns the difference between the benefits a customer sees from a firm’s market offering and the costs of obtaining those benefits. Costs Benefits The customer’s view of costs and benefits is not just limited to economic (or even rational) considerations--and a low price may NOT result in superior value.
Customer Value Costs Benefits • One customer’s view of the benefits and costs of a firm’s market offering may vary from another customer’s view, so firm may not be able to satisfy everybody with the same offering. • Customer value concept takes the customers point of view, but customers may not explicitly weigh costs and benefits and even if they do their view may not match some “objective” reality.
McDonald’s QSCV • Every day an average of 38 million people visit its 23,500 restaurants in 109 countries. People do not flock to McDonald’s outlets solely because they love the hamburger. Some other restaurants make better-tasting hamburgers. People are flocking to a system, not a hamburger. The system is called QSCV---quality, service, cleanliness, and value. McDonald’s works with its suppliers, franchise owners, employees and others to deliver high value to its customers. • What do you learn from the case?
What can we learn from customer value? • A consumer is likely to be more satisfied when the customer value is higher. • Low price and high customer value are not the same thing. • The customer value reflects a customer’s point of view which matters very much to a firm. • A manager should try to improve the benefits or to reduce the costs and thus satisfy the customers . • To improve customer value is an effective way to beat competition. • The firm should try to provide customer value before and after each purchase to build ongoing relationship with the customers.
