Study Notes
Understanding Lo-Fi Experimentation
- Essential to validate customer interest in a solution before full product development.
- “Lo-Fi Experimentation” involves creating “pre-totypes” to assess whether a solution should be built.
- Pre-totypes differ from prototypes by focusing on market validation instead of technical feasibility.
Characteristics of Lo-Fi Experimentation
- Low cost of implementation.
- Quick and easy to create and test.
- Provides valuable insights into customer reactions.
Techniques for Lo-Fi Experimentation
- Concierge Test: Wealthfront employed professional financial planners to work with customers before automating the service, gathering vital feedback on concept viability.
- Storyboarding: A method for visualizing customer interaction with a product by narrating a compelling story that highlights the customer’s problem, interaction, and eventual success.
Importance of Iteration
- Successful product development requires multiple iterations based on customer feedback until a true product-market fit is achieved.
Positioning Your Product
- A product’s positioning statement consists of customer value and differentiation, shaping how customers perceive the product.
- This statement should focus on marketing guidance and hone product communication.
Competitive Matrix
- Creating a competitive matrix compares your offering against others using x and y axes to represent different customer benefits.
- Proper positioning aims to place your product in the upper right quadrant, indicating superior benefits.
Writing a Positioning Statement
- Positioning statements include a target customer persona, the problem being solved, product category, and key benefits provided.
- Differentiate by noting primary competitors and how your product surpasses them.
Effectiveness of Positioning
- Clear and meaningful positioning offers distinctive benefits to the target audience.
- It should be owned by the brand and serve as a guide for decision-making across various departments like sales, marketing, and development.
