Time or Money spent? Which do consumers value most?

Alice LaPlante asks that question following a study conducted by researchers at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

So what about time saved? Is it as satisfactory? Do consumers value being able to do something fast so they can then quickly do something else? Or even do more of the same thing?

This is what Rich Internet Applications are all about: making the user experience as best as it can be, whether you are searching, learning or shopping. Good examples are RIAs built for eCommerce, to help consumers easily and quickly get what they want. The return is more conversions and loyalty, and less drop-off. Read this previously released white paper for more info.

I think that money and time are the same value. Without time can you not earn monay and wenn you have monay, you need time to spend it. They are both important.

They say time is money so I guess customers would like to save both of them. The ideal would be to get what you need quickly and without costing you an arm and a leg.

Yes, they are both important, and yes, in today's world, time "is" money... But when we are talking about buying products or services online, if we had a choice, would we rather save time and quickly find what we're looking for? Or spend more time looking for a better deal?

time has for sure more value. monay is not all in our life when you have no time to enjoy your life. that is my opinion. bye

I fully agree that I pad is jack of all and master of none. Lack of "Flash and Silverlight" support and I/O interfaces are some major things which reduce its applicability.

First time I came across your site.Really I find it very informative. So thanks for it..There’s much debate going on these days on who is the rightful owner of ‘multi-touch’ – a technology that has moved into many areas of our day to day life and become a pervasive part of our experiences.

nice post. Im still pretty sure that google's plan doesnt involve dominance in the os sector. since no matter what os people use, they end up using google in their online activities, so there's no need to further push dominance in that sector.
