How we can help

Elements of Value®

Understanding what your customers truly value can have big benefits: clearer differentiation, more pricing power and bigger market share. Elements of Value^® provides a framework and empirical basis to identify—in B2C or B2B businesses—what really matters to your customers and how to deliver it most effectively.

Why Bain

Why Bain

We’ve researched consumers and observed their behavior for 30+ years, and our research has been featured in Harvard Business Review.
We’ve done groundbreaking research on value, both in B2B and B2C.
We’ve identified 30 distinct B2C elements of value and 36 distinct B2B elements of value — and quantified their linkages to growth, Bain's Net Promoter Score® and repeat purchasing.
