What Is A Value Ladder? (And Why You Need One In Your Business!)
Simply put, a value ladder is a series or range of products. These products ascend in price from the lowest (or free) offer to your highest priced premium or high-ticket product.
As the customer ascends through every stage of your value ladder. The value of your product(s) and/or service(s) increase. The value to your customer increases as well…
Value Ladder Structure
Let’s look at the structure or staging of a value ladder and how it can be best implemented in your business:
- Prior to creating the steps, you must understand that the first offer is usually priced at $0. It's primarily used as a “lead magnet” and it should not be a consultation or sales meeting
- The next offer should pretty much cover the cost of the initial free offer as well as itself. For example, if the free offer costs your business $10 and the first offer costs $30, then the sales price should be $40. Basically, all you’ve done is break even. But you’ve provided valuable products to your customer that they may not be able to get anywhere else!
- Each and ever offer subsequent to the 2 offers should provide your business with profit. They should also gradually increase in margins while adding yet more value!
EXAMPLE
Take a look at the example below based on a Personal Trainer business:
- Free training session with the personal trainer
- Paid training plan
- Paid meal plan including nutritional education
- Recurring paid training sessions
- Annual training sessions (discounted)
- Fitness training retreat (at an exclusive location)
A carefully planned and well-structured value ladder has the potential to exponentially transform your business if it’s implemented properly!
The initial offer (usually free) will drive more leads to your sales process. It will also build the size of your email list and create more brand awareness for your business.
Conclusion
So, as you can see, implementing this in your business can dramatically increase the number of sales. At the same time, it will provide more value to your customers.
Any business that doesn’t implement a value ladder in their business will truly be missing out on many potential sales.
Some business owners may not even know about the value ladder concept because they may not have invested in themselves or their business.
