Value is in fact what sells. It may even be a poorly made product and not work or have a appearance that's worth a damn - but, if it has value to a certain buyer - that product will sell...hense - the more buyers the more money exchanged. Great idea - but, a lot more is involved just like the writer has explained in the Starbuck's Experience. Starbuck's created an answer to a natural desire in people by recognizing that there is a desire in the first place. Starbuck's then figured out what that desire was - and created a product for meeting the needs of that desire. Parts of that desire are - a cozy place to get a flavorfilled coffee, sit, read, socialize and most of all - take time out of your day to indeed add a certain aire of quality to one's own life. That said - to take the burden of payment away for an overpriced product - Starbuck's then challenged itself to accomodate all its buyers by giving them the most effortless way of paying for the Starbuck Experience. Starbucks is probably in my opinion - the perfect model of a startup business. The buyer should only be required to carry the burden of looking up and - poof - the product in question is in front of them - ready to use. They shouldn't even have to think of paying for it. They should only have the thought process of the value and quality and pleasing nature of the product in their minds. I think the writer is correct. Value is in fact what sells.

I am surprised people think that simply doing something, no matter what, no matter for whom, no matter how can get them profit. And while, as you mentioned, the resources for value-driven businesses are freely available, it is even more astonishing not everyone knows how to market well. But again, mostly, only those who know about providing value notice those resources, right?
