📖 Section Overview

Perceived Value is the gap between what your offer costs and what it feels worth to the customer. Two identical products can sell at wildly different prices depending on how well value is framed. Elevating perceived value means customers feel like they’re getting 10x what they pay for.

<aside> 💡

Why It Matters

• Pricing Power → Higher perceived value = higher prices you can charge.
• Conversion Lift → Customers buy faster when the deal feels irresistible.
• LTV Expansion → Strong value perception increases upsell/cross-sell success.
• Category Differentiation → Compete on value, not discounts. </aside>
