The 6Cs of motivation is a recognised tool used in higher education and looks at ways to improve classroom motivation and student participation. In 2004 Dave Chaffey suggested the 6Cs of customer motivation in a world where the online offer was developing. The aim was that a model of customer motivation would help define the Online Value Proposition.
The 6Cs provide clarity when building or refining a website. You can use the template below to assess the benefits a website and online services offers online audiences, as well as those of your competitors.
‘Right content’ including more detailed product or service information or value-adding content ‘Right context’ of content for the site visit ‘Right media’ including interactive services and tools and video
Personalisation of content or products to individuals or groups
Customer forums such as for troubleshooting or exchanging tips
24/7 availability Turnaround time After sales service Refund Guarantee
Informed perception of lower-cost - no middle man Online exclusive pricing
Broader range of products / services Additional methods of payment Flexible delivery including ‘on-demand’ options for digital content Ease of return
