How are your products or services perceived?

Finding out how your customers perceive your products or services could be the difference between success and failure for your small business.

Kyle B. Murray (University of Western Ontario) and Gerald Häubl (University of Alberta) examined a theory of cognitive lock-in centered around the notion of skill-based habits of use, that is, how using or purchasing a product becomes easier with repetition. In a series of experiments, they find that people are more influenced by their perceptions of ease-of-use rather than how objectively easy a product is to use.

It is imperative for small business owners to project a perception of ease-of- use.

Key lies in creating that perception.
