Need, Want or Both

A product or service that fulfills a need is not necessarily an instant winner because the market doesn’t always recognise needs as important, exciting, or there is very little loyalty to brand when the need is immediate.

 

A product or service that only appeals to a want, but has no intrinsic value may win over the short term, but will probably die the death of a fad.

 

It takes effort, thought and resilience to educate the market and transform a product or service that fulfills a need into something that your customers actually want.

 

Beware of settling for the boring obviousness of a need or the glitzy emptiness of a fad.
