The method

Check user value in partnerships

A partner's willingness to promote is not evidence that users want the promotion.

When to use it

  • Platform partnerships, notifications, or monetization.

Ask yourself

  • A partnership brings traffic. Should we accept it?

Put it into action

  • List each party's gain and the user's attention and interaction costs. Test recipients' actual benefit and willingness.

Keep these limits in mind

  • User value must be considered alongside sustainable business and delivery conditions.
