Are you spending time marketing your product, but still not selling as much as you would like The truth is consumers have needs and steps that they go through and that persuades them to buy. If your marketing is not meeting those requirements it is probably the reasons your product is not selling. As consumers we are not just persuaded by the "price" of a product, we are moved by the benefits of the product and what it can do for us; that’s our reason for purchasing.

We’ve talked about benefits and perceived value, now let’s talk about needs. Do consumers know how your product meets their needs Does it make their life easier, save them time, and make them feel better What need does your product satisfy You have to tell consumers that, don’t make them guess or come up with the answer on their own, tell them and help educate them on why they need your product.
