If you are a product marketing manager in charge of digital marketing it’s easy to fall into the trap of talking about company or performance value. It’s easy to talk about the ROI of a product or that it will double leads. A better method is to present identity value.
Identity Value
Marketing Identity Value allows you to make a more personal relationship. With Company Value marketing you are talking about “my company”. With Performance Value marketing you are talking about “my work”. With Identity Value marketing you are talking about “my work”. With this approach you are much more human and real. Here are characteristics of Identity Value.
- Pride in Work
- Respect from others
- Career advancement
- Belonging
- Popularity with team
- Helping others
- Happiness about work
Working with a given product or service you work through, what it is, to what it does, to what it means, to how it feels. When you are able to communicate how it feels to clients you are able to affect them on a personal level.
