For a Premium Price you need…

A Premium Product or Service

  • Unique in the marketplace

  • Top quality construction

  • Top quality materials

  • Top quality delivery

  • Every detail taken care of

  • Designed to meet that premium standard, not a price point

Across all industries, perceived quality affects customer advocacy more than any other element. Products and services must attain a certain level, and no other elements can make up for a significant shortfall on this one.

Premium presentation

  • Beautiful imagery

  • Immaculate visuals

  • Presented to reflect the right outcome, mood or lifestyle

Premium information

  • Full specification

  • Assume your customer knows a lot and pre-empt any questions they ask in their head and give the answers with the product

  • Don't make the customer have to ask any questions

Premium positioning

  • Associations with other premium things

Proven and Proveable Credibility

  • You can't charge a premium price without the credibility to do so (i.e. appropriate qualifications are experienced, reviews)

De-risking your customers’ spend

  • Return Policy

  • Warranty guarantee

  • Prove your confidence in your premium product by taking on all the risk and not making your customer take any of it

Free Extras that naturally complete the package

  • Don't charge for small additionals (I expect towels in a premium Airbnb, or a glasses case for premium sunglasses)

  • The customer does not expect to have to ask whether these are included or to pay extra for them
