Value Exchanges define the valuable contexts
What is value exchange in digital marketing?
Value exchange describes a transaction that can include but may not necessarily be financial in nature. Examples of value exchange between a brand and a customer can include The trading of money for goods or services (a straightforward financial transaction).
One of the best parts about digital marketing is that you can offer various value-exchange options for your customers. For example, saved lists and items are an easy way to provide them with extra perks on top of their subscription service by saving specific information such as coupons from brands they love (and never miss!). Another idea would be gifting cards with codes inside, so people who get one don’t need internet access! There are also early access services like release dates; these could happen before anyone else knows anything.
What’s important to remember is that the customer should feel like they are getting something of value in return for what they are giving up. For instance, with saved lists – if I’m already a subscriber to your email list, then every time one item goes off sale or becomes available again through said retailer’s site (e., stock levels), you send me an email letting me know so that way I have no excuse not too buys what might otherwise escape my notice thanks very much
