Actionable Insights

Run pricing audits against your top competitors.

More than 70% of customers switch over price—don’t assume you’re in range.

Highlight product quality in your messaging.

Quality is the second most common reason people switch, so make it visible.

Stop over-prioritizing loyalty perks.

They help, but they’re not deal-makers when price or quality fall short.

Improve delivery speed and communicate it clearly.

Faster fulfillment can close the gap when you’re not the cheapest.

Focus less on ethics messaging and more on core value.

Sustainability and social impact are appreciated but don’t override value-based decisions.
