  1. Clean water is worth twice the money.

  2. It’s easy to sell at low prices. The best price wins when a client is cost conscience. It’s harder to sell value. You need to look for ways to get the prospect to understand your value. Obviously in this case, clean water should command a premium, and will show the true value.
    You can buy a bicycle at $39 and ride it for one year, or you can buy a bicycle for $89 and show a track record of it performing well for 5 years.
    What separates your product from the pack?

  3. Value is determined when the percieved benefits outweigh the perceived price or the perceived emotional cost.

    The picture shows that the benefit of drinking lemonade made with clean water is more important than the lower-priced competition that has all the fancy accoutrements.

  4. There are a couple of things that are going on here:

    1) Price does not necessarily mean value. Value is in the eyes of the beholder.
    2) The girls have positioned themselves nicely with “clean” water which distinguishes them from the competition.
    3) The girls also have positioned themselves as an artisanal lemonade which is specially made and in short supply.

  6. Good piece of writing. Keep up the first rate work.
