Value propositions are more than quick elevator pitches and clever taglines on business cards.

Value propositions DEFINE who you are, what you do, and what you CAN do for customers.

Let’s talk about how to formulate value propositions, and share ours with the #print community – and MILLIONS of timelines!

PLEASE RT THE CHAT QUESTIONS! Engage with your followers, help expand our community – It’s good for #print and good for you!

EVERYBODY READY???????? Don’t forget to use A1, A2 etc when answering Q1, Q2 etc!

Q1: How are adding value and providing a service different? How can this distinction be made in marketing messaging?

Q2: Do all value propositions HAVE to benefit the customers you serve? Examples of others?

Q3: Should businesses have one overall value proposition for their services, or as many as needed? How do you decide?

Q4: What descriptive words should be included in #print business (or related biz) value propositions?

Q5: WITHOUT mentioning price, quality and service – would your value proposition change? Should those words be avoided?

Q6: What is the value proposition of your current company? How and where is it communicated?

Q7: What is YOUR value proposition – why should I work with YOU regardless of where you work?
