Their products can function as revenue generators
Promise of the wise home has tantalized businesses looking to capitalize on the dynamics of connected technologies in the home, calling and managing the needs of the occupant entirely without human interaction. Yes, the wise house is here to a certain extent, but experts predict the truly interconnected smart home, where devices and appliances can speak to each other may still be a decade away. There are important problems like data protection and interoperability between devices to address. The challenge until then for producers and service providers is how to maximize the revenue potential from stand-alone, pointed appliances and apparatus using smart home technologies that offer added-value to homeowners. Bright companies today understand that traditional models of one-time market through of goods, or standalone products that may not be monitored intelligently provide little or no chance to create a connection with customers and establish brand loyalty. They also realize that in today's market, their products can function as revenue generators together with the information they gather depending upon a homeowner's energy usage, safety connectivity and/or home entertainment preferences. One thing that will remain constant in the future of smart house technologies is that firms must be ready to create a special user experience through engaging content and social media. Using data accumulated by a product, more opportunities exist for companies to craft messaging, also deliver product and service information that is specific to the user's tastes, past buying habits and product utilization. Companies can offer access to social network-powered communities which generate positive experience feedback and share helpful tips and product recommendations. Even though smart home technology is in its infancy, one thing is now clear: consumers are more than happy to assign routine and repeated purchases of product accessories for their machines. People today lead busy lives and allowing a dishwasher order more soap or a coffee maker order more legumes saves time.
More impressively, the smart Appliance can even complete the transaction without any human input by simply accessing account information. Although these kinds of behaviors will need a while to be fully adopted due to safety concerns or pure distress, they can significantly increase the long list of conveniences provided by the smart home.
Products are being commoditized daily. Over the last decade, the-as-a-Service" model or subscription model has changed the way people buy everything from the music they listen to, the movies and sporting events they watch at home as well as the programs they use on mobile devices.
It now appears consumers are willing to use that same model when it comes to making smart home purchases. As opposed to simply making a purchase and having a device until it becomes obsolete or breaks down, they can elect to sign a monthly service agreement that provides for product use and upgrades as smart technology continues to evolve.
This business model provides Consumers with the connectivity and technologies they are growing to expect and offers services to make family life more comfortable and secure, while generating a predictable, monthly revenue stream for businesses.
Besides the subscription Business model, highly disruptive organizations are transforming their product management approach, and finely parsing solutions like the base offering might be free, and a cross-sell/up-sell motion with new offers each month are continuously delivered to the user.
Product managers should change from Long, drawn out BIG goods with lots of features, to a lighter “foundation" offering, parsing out attributes into “options" that may be up-sold later.
According to Research, the most sought after smart appliances by consumers provide increased Energy efficiency and increased home security. Today's consumers want thermostats that not only regulate temperature in the home, but could also make energy purchases in their when prices are lowest. They want security systems which can be monitored remotely and extend connected movement detectors, surveillance cameras, automated door locks and other security system components that create a safer home. With any new technology, the growing pains of development can present obstacles, which informed business people realize are chances. This is particularly true around interconnectivity. Developing products that can drive technology to closer interoperability between appliances, through improvements in hub devices or those that further the evolution of smart home homeowner recognition (voice, iris or face) can help businesses stand apart from their rivals.
Another issue that will probably Offer unique opportunities is trade integration where companies can create innovative payment adventures, especially when purchases are initiated by numerous smart appliances and all of them can be managed in one place.
Although there are a variety of Emerging devices and companies that are using parts of these elements in their business models, it's not hard to envision a not-so-distant future.
Think about a subscription coffee by seizing on the possibilities generated through the integration of smart house technologies and improving on the current revenue model for a coffee machine, the future could bring us coffee machines which communicate with the user. From routine maintenance tips to updates about automatic ordering, your coffee machine could evolve to know your tastes in caffeine levels, how hot you like your beverages and even the precise time of day or year you prefer certain flavors.
These advancements are not limited to Major manufacturers in CPG and others are exploring opportunities to develop more meaningful relationships with their consumers by connecting smart packaging solutions to smart home devices.
For example, what if your detergent's Packaging could talk to the washing machine? They could communicate about what sorts of substances are in a load, identify the right pour or volume of detergent and like the coffee machine, auto-replenish by ordering your go-to detergent when supplies are low. Well, then the opportunities are endless.
Regardless, it’s important to note that while there can be vast opportunity in the wise home market, the user experience must always be at the middle of it. While solutions like the ones we discussed may be key to “locking in" customer loyalty, we must also recognize that it cannot exist without stellar customer experiences.
Big data and traditional blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum can't accommodate this, but new protocols that are being examined this year such as Dxchain will be able to get this underway.
A radical transformation is occurring in the way that businesses are incorporating smart technology into home Products that cater to the needs of their customers. With the growing Acceptance of smart appliances by consumers arrive heightened expectations for convenience and functionality.
