• Start from a concrete idea
• Continue until you are at a location where
you have been already (vicious cycle!)

feel uncomfortable if all their
friends know that they use
your product/service ?
Does your product/service
remember previous use of a
user? (eg. memory card)
Can the user receive a higher
status by using the product?

Do you want to offer a
product/service to people
that can't afford it?
Would users value the possibility to
share the product with their peers?
Would the status only be relevant
amongst the user base of your product?
Hmmm...
Making money on your product seems to be a tough one.
Get out of your comfort zone! It's innovate or die.
Answer quick! What comes to mind
first is the right answer. Here we go:
Will the majority of users pay for
your product?
Will users have to give their
personal details in order to use
your product/service?
Is it your goal to have
direct revenue from this
product/service?
Do you believe other companies
would have interest in targeting
your user base?
Do you generate user-data
relevant for others?
Are there any complementary
services/products to your offer
that your users expect?
Is the variabel cost per extra user
non-existent or negligible?
Can you think of features that only
part of your user base would pay for?
Does your product need a critical
amount of users to show it's value?
Do your users have non monetary
resources the company (or other
users) normally would have to pay for?
Did you develop a feature/product
significantly more convenient than
the best alternative users have?
What about offering a
box without telling
what's inside?
#Awesome! You have some
options that your users
might be willing to pay for.
23. Crowdfunding
Do you want the user to own the
product once they pay?
Would you like proof of
interest from your users
before you launch?
Do you think the user might
have trouble paying the entire
product at once?
Do your users want to
pay every time they use
your product/service?
Yes!
Damn right
about that!
We will launch
anyway!
Yes!
Yes!
Will the user have the
exclusive right to use
this product?
Not
nessecarely!
Not really!
Nope!
Yes!
No, let's give
it for free!
Yes!

It's not about the
ability to pay. I'm

pay otherwise?
Not relevant

Obviously...
Not relevant!

devastated if
their user data

Middle Ages anymore!
Charity?
No thanks!
Ever played Monopoly?
Go back to start!
High chance that you'll
find more reasons for
users to pay!
No!
Don't forget
to check this
one as well!
Can one product
be shared amongst
different users?
Yes!
Could you introduce physical
consumables to be used
together with the product?
Nope!
No!
Good
idea!
Crowdfunding is
only the beginning...
No, but we do
have a recurring
cost in mind!
Cool! You just

24. Add-ons
Do you see the
option to sell
something extra
to part of your
customer base?

As an agency specialised in business model innovation, we support
our clients to develop sustainable new revenue streams. By asking
the right questions, different options to ‘cash in on your new idea’ will
arise. Unfortunately, we can’t be everywhere at the same time. That’s
why we made a flowchart to help you and your team to discuss the
alternative monetisation tactics & pricing options.
This flowchart will be most effective in one of the following 2 use cases:
• You have a new idea and you are wondering if you can monetise it.
• You already developed your business model and you would like to
challenge your current monetisation strategy. 

Note: This is not a scientific tool. Don’t expect the ultimate solution.
Why did Board of Innovation
make a tool to explore ways to find new revenues?
When should I use it?
Rules of the game:
• Check cards to understand the
monetisation principle if you need some
clarification or examples.
• It’s totally ok to peak into the revenue
cards that you didn’t have as an outcome
from the flowchart ;)
Rules of the game:
• Take all outcomes into consideration
• Translate the theoretical outcome
into concrete ways to earn money
• Ask all team members to come up
with their own translation

requesting a more luxury interior, extra options or some extra
horse power, you will have to pay extra. An Audio R8 full option
would cost you more than €250k.
Wordpress is a free open-source DIY website platform. If you
need a more custom solution or if you do have some trouble,
you can pay for a support service.

How it usually works - General visualisation
Nespresso doesn’t earn (much) on their coffee machines (they
don’t even make them themselves). All of the money comes
from the pads. Interesting fact: Dyson chose for the opposite
strategy by taking away vacuum cleaner’s bags.
“An update is still cheaper then a new GPS system, right?” This
is exactly how Tomtom and Garmin made big money for years.
Users choose to either pay or use outdated maps.

  • 1. Revenue Model Options curated by @arnevbalen 27 flickr cc 59937401@N07 boardofinnovation.com B2C
  • 2. Download all files for free: www.boardofinnovation.com/FindNewRevenue Rules of the game: • Start from a concrete idea • Continue until you are at a location where you have been already (vicious cycle!) • Check all answers before choosing a path • Don’t judge yet, seriously! Do you think your users could feel uncomfortable if all their friends know that they use your product/service ? Does your product/service remember previous use of a user? (eg. memory card) Can the user receive a higher status by using the product? 1. Early Exit 2.Tip jar/donation3. Barter 4. Freemium 6. Vanity/ Reputation 7. Loss/Aversion 8. Privacy/ Anonymity 9. Mystery/Surprises 16. Data Resell 20. Leasing 21. Pay-per-use 5. Pay-what-you- want 10. Convenience/ Shortcuts 11. Helping peers/ Gifts 12. Exclusivity/ Limited Availability 22. Fractional Ownership Free! For the user. Paid! The user = Client Third party pays the bills Monetization driver (How to cash in) 18. Flat rate (one-time-fee) 19. Subscription (time related) 13. Get one - Give one 14. Advertising Do you want to offer a product/service to people that can't afford it? Would users value the possibility to share the product with their peers? Would the status only be relevant amongst the user base of your product? Hmmm... Making money on your product seems to be a tough one. Get out of your comfort zone! It's innovate or die. Answer quick! What comes to mind first is the right answer. Here we go: Will the majority of users pay for your product? Will users have to give their personal details in order to use your product/service? Is it your goal to have direct revenue from this product/service? Do you believe other companies would have interest in targeting your user base? Do you generate user-data relevant for others? Are there any complementary services/products to your offer that your users expect? Is the variabel cost per extra user non-existent or negligible? Can you think of features that only part of your user base would pay for? Does your product need a critical amount of users to show it's value? Do your users have non monetary resources the company (or other users) normally would have to pay for? Did you develop a feature/product significantly more convenient than the best alternative users have? What about offering a box without telling what's inside? #Awesome! You have some options that your users might be willing to pay for. 23. Crowdfunding Do you want the user to own the product once they pay? Would you like proof of interest from your users before you launch? Do you think the user might have trouble paying the entire product at once? Do your users want to pay every time they use your product/service? Yes! Damn right about that! We will launch anyway! Yes! Yes! Will the user have the exclusive right to use this product? Not nessecarely! Not really! Nope! Yes! No, let's give it for free! Yes! Maybe It's not about the ability to pay. I'm just not sure if everyone will pay! In fact, yes! Not at all, they already use everything they have! Exactly! Check! Ads, are you crazy? Not really... Shht... user data is our competitive advantage! No! My product is all they need! Yes! It's not about the money! Of course! Definitely! Nope, no critical mass needed! That's why we make software! Yes! We do have some extra costs... Afraid that you won't receive enough donations? Didn't I say I don't want them to pay? No! Of course! How can I let them pay otherwise? Not relevant for my product! Obviously... Not relevant! They would be devastated if their user data was lost! Nope!Absolutely! No! Amongst everyone! Yes, they would love it! No, it would lower the value! No... Hell yeah! Not knowing what's coming is always kind of exciting! Sounds like gambling! F*ck off! That's how it works! Nothing better than the smell of fresh money in the morning... Close... but yet so far... 25. Razor-blade Do you want more than one contact moment with your user? Not necessary! Yes, that would be useful! Seriously? We are not living in the Middle Ages anymore! Charity? No thanks! Ever played Monopoly? Go back to start! High chance that you'll find more reasons for users to pay! No! Don't forget to check this one as well! Can one product be shared amongst different users? Yes! Could you introduce physical consumables to be used together with the product? Nope! No! Good idea! Crowdfunding is only the beginning... No, but we do have a recurring cost in mind! Cool! You just teleported yourself here! Your journey requires a teleportation! Find the exit... 24. Add-ons Do you see the option to sell something extra to part of your customer base? Harder, better, faster, stronger! You can probably make even more money on this! Just give it a try! Remember: You can only walk this road once! 15. Affiliate/ Referral 17. Matchmaking platform Do you want to have an integrated solution that seems to be your own offering? Advice to trusted partner is fine! Yes, Integrated Solution Do you dream of making even more money with this idea? Hint >You might find gold at the other side of this tunnel You won't regret this! High chance that you'll find more reasons for users to pay! Find new revenue models for your idea Start here! What about these colours?

 10. Convenience/ shortcuts What wou for yo Try to What wou for yo Try to What wou for yo Try to Step 3: Brainstorm template As an agency specialised in business model innovation, we support our clients to develop sustainable new revenue streams. By asking the right questions, different options to ‘cash in on your new idea’ will arise. Unfortunately, we can’t be everywhere at the same time. That’s why we made a flowchart to help you and your team to discuss the alternative monetisation tactics & pricing options. This flowchart will be most effective in one of the following 2 use cases: • You have a new idea and you are wondering if you can monetise it. • You already developed your business model and you would like to challenge your current monetisation strategy. 
 Note: This is not a scientific tool. Don’t expect the ultimate solution. Why did Board of Innovation make a tool to explore ways to find new revenues? When should I use it? Rules of the game: • Check cards to understand the monetisation principle if you need some clarification or examples. • It’s totally ok to peak into the revenue cards that you didn’t have as an outcome from the flowchart ;) Rules of the game: • Take all outcomes into consideration • Translate the theoretical outcome into concrete ways to earn money • Ask all team members to come up with their own translation Step 2: Revenue Cards Step 1: Flowchart
  • 3. Allowing customers to distinguish themselves from other customers will make them feel important. Often used in gaming! #1 Vanity/Reputation Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic Pro and Business versions of Windows do not differ that much in features, while Pro is priced much higher than the basic version. But wait… Do you want to be the one opening your ‘Windows Home Edition’ with a new client? 1. Windows 8 Pro 2 Examples to turn theory into practice Gamers of World of Warcraft often pay to fit in, for exclusivity, to show commitment or simply to show off to the starters (aka .#noobs) in the game. It’s all about perception! 2. Reputation in games
  • 4. A technique used by drugs dealers for many years and also known as locking-in customers: give something for free (or cheap) and provide lots of hassle (€ or effort) when they want to change to a different alternative. #2 Loss/Aversion Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic Dropbox is the most expensive player in the cloud storage market, but they were first and everyone integrated 3rd party services with their dropbox account. Who knows what might stop working once you switch to an alternative? Seven is a fitness app with a goal to workout each day for 7 months. If you miss a day, you lose a heart. Once you lose your 3 hearts, you have to start again from zero. Expert tip: Extra hearts can be bought ;). 2 Examples to turn theory into practice 1. Dropbox 2. Seven

 #3 Privacy/Anonymity Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic Anonymity is crucial when you want to hide what you are doing. DateMeKenya has the anonymity feature only available for their paying members. You don’t want your husband/wife to find out that you are dating, right? Vanilla Visa is a gift or reward card that works the same as a normal creditcard but without identification. Fees are higher than regular credit cards but the money is untraceable.Expert hint: Extra hearts can be bought ;). 2 Examples to turn theory into practice 1. DateMeKenya 2. Vanilla Visa
  • 7. Giving people a reason to believe that they might win a lottery creates customer experience. Not knowing what’s coming can often be exciting! #4 Mystery/Surprises Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic Birchbox is a subscription service that sends you (or someone that received it as a gift) a monthly box full of cosmetics. You won’t know what’s inside until you open it and that’s why it’s so much fun to find in your mailbox. No payment trigger that the gaming industry doesn’t use! In this mystery crate you have a (small) chance of finding rare items (eg. crystal sword). You might call it a virtual lottery. 2 Examples to turn theory into practice 1. Birchbox 2. Mystery in Gaming
  • 8. Delivering a product/service that is more convenient/easy to use compared to existing alternatives is worth paying for! #5 Convenience/ Shortcuts Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic You want to send a camera to your brother abroad but you hate the hassle with sending? Shyp will be your best friend! You simply take a picture of the camera, choose the destination and Shyp comes to pick it up within 30 minutes. The power of ‘Zynga-like’ games is the simple choice e.g. when you want to grow a plant you can: grind (click 5000x), spam (invite 50 friends for double speed) or pay (#coins). 2 Examples to turn theory into practice 1. Shyp. 2. Zynga Games

Giving something valuable to someone you care about creates satisfaction. #6 Helping Peers/ Gifts Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic A small world is a social network for the #UltraRich. If you are not part of it, you wont be ‘one of them’. To get access, you need an invite. To get an invite, you need to pay. Get it? You check Baekdal Plus, a website full of in-depth research articles and you find a highly relevant article for your colleague. Baekdal Plus lets you share that $20 article for free if you have subscription ($9/month). Great deal, isn't it?! 2 Examples to turn theory into practice 1. A Small World 2. Baekdal Plus
  • 10. Having something with a certain exclusivity is a certain show-off. It has always been like that and it will always be the case. The more people have access to the product, the harder it gets to use this as a value perceiver. #7 Exclusivity/ 
 Limited Availability Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic Vertu offers a phone for a stunning €12 000 and you know what? People pay! The reason: it’s your key to exclusive services (e.g. a concierge to call in any circumstance) and events. Instead of selling copies to all their fans, Wu-Tang Clan released just one copy of its secret Album. Musea can rent the album to offer fans to listen the album once for $40/time. 2 Examples to turn theory into practice 1. Vertu 2. Wu-Tang Clan
  • 11. There is no such thing as a free lunch! Apart from direct revenue, companies launch products/services for other reasons: user base, prestige, contact details, etc. #8 Non monetary Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic How it usually works - General visualisation Mobile messaging with friends all over the world is becoming more popular than social media. WhatsApp had 450Mio users (and their address book) when acquired by Facebook for $16Bio. Fact: WhatsApp had no revenue model at that time. The world's first crowd-speaking platform. At time of writing (March 2015), over 3 million people have donated their social reach for ideas and causes that matter. The service given to the users in this case is ‘reputation’. 1. Whatsapp 2 Examples to turn theory into practice 2. Thunderclap IncIncHQHQ MyStartup.com Consumer Service 5 Lower price than service cost (often free) Data, the right to use data or something else non monetary and valuable for the MyStartup.com
  • 12. Some products need a lot of users to function appropriately. Some people will highly appreciate what they get. Giving these people a chance to show this appreciation in a gift (€) is a tip jar/donation. #9 Tip jar/Donation Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic How it usually works - General visualisation Wikipedia’s sole revenue stream is donations from users that love the online encyclopedia. When you have (and need) a huge user base, some of these users will be willing to help. Amazon uses donations as a sneaky loyalty scheme. With every purchase, Amazon Smile donates 0.5% of the purchase price to a cause of your choice. 1. Wikipedia 2. Amazon Smile 2 Examples to turn theory into practice IncIncHQHQ MyStartup.com Consumers Information 5 Donation
  • 13. Receiving products/services you want in return for another good or favour. Most barter are triangle deals! #10 Barter Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic How it usually works - General visualisation Home exchange is a website that allows you to exchange your own home with other travellers for a limited amount of time (aka. your holiday period) in return for a $9,95/month subscription fee.

Swap your car 2 Examples to turn theory into practice IncIncHQHQ MyStartUp.com Consumer Consumer Consumer Product Product Product Platform 5 Commission
  • 14. Segmenting your user base in users that get the service for free and users that pay, is called a freemium business model. The paying customers usually have access to superior features. #11 Freemium Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic How it usually works - General visualisation Free users of Spotify receive advertisements every 20 minutes, paying users don’t. Nothing more nothing less, it doesn’t have to be complex all the time. Dropbox gives more online space to their PRO users that paid for the service. Meanwhile, Business users have unlimited space and extra services for teams to collaborate. 1. Spotify 2. Dropbox 2 Examples to turn theory into practice
  • 15. Similar to donation but with a stronger focus on revenues, not users. Here you get to choose what you pay for the product. Only works when variable costs are negligible (e.g. music, games, virtual books, software, etc.) #12 Pay-what-you- want Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic How it usually works - General visualisation Humble Bundle offers book and game bundles for a price that you choose yourself. If you are one of the top payers, you receive limited bonus books/games. Offer what you want for their services and they pick the offers they like. Apart from money, value drivers for 8k could be: availability of their designers, big brands for their portfolio, etc. 1. Humble Bundle 2. 8k design agency 2 Examples to turn theory into practice IncIncHQHQ MyStartup.com Consumers Information 5 Money
  • 16. Sometimes you want to target a user segment that simply can’t afford your product in any way. The decision to make another segment pay double has been made for charity: laptops, flash lights, etc. #13 Get one-Give one Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic How it usually works - General visualisation For every laptop bought in the US and Europe, one of these laptops was sold to charity organisations for highly deducted prices. Fact: the low tech of these laptop triggered the notebook trend (9” laptops) in the US and Europe. For every coffee bought, Starbucks donated 25 cents to Oasis, an organisation helping locally based family organisations worldwide. 1. One Laptop per child 2. Starbucks campaign 2 Examples to turn theory into practice

The desired result is to drive consumer behaviour with respect to a commercial offering. #14 Advertising Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic How it usually works - General visualisation Metro is free around the world. Their goal? To reach as much commuters as possible. The more eyeballs they keep rolling, the more companies will pay for ads in these newspapers. Pinterest is a great way to integrate advertising in behaviour that people choose to keep doing: finding inspiration - clothes, furniture, moodboards, etc. 1. Metro News 2. Pinterest 2 Examples to turn theory into practice
  • 18. When referring your customers to another company, you are driving their sales. Depending on the product and program, 5-10% of the product price, is a good indicator of the lead fee you’ll receive. #15 Affiliate/Referral Third Party pays the bill Free! For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic How it usually works - General visualisation FindGift helps people to find the right gift. Once the service guided you to what you want to buy, you will be directed to the website of their partner. If you buy, FindGift gets paid. ASAP54 is the Shazam for fashion.

For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic How it usually works - General visualisation PatientsLikeMe offers a valuable (and free) P2P service for people searching for the best treatment of their disease. Anonymous data is sold to Pharma, so they can come up with better treatments. The money saved by not providing a free service could be given to the users willing to share their data.

For the user. Value Proposition Pricing tactic How it usually works - General visualisation Airbnb is a travel service that links people with space available to people searching for a good place to stay (with locals).
