The USP must be a feature that highlights benefits that are meaningful to your target market.
Your business could base your USP on a variety of issues – such as product attributes, price, placement strategy, or promotional strategy. These are the 4 “P’s” and it is the manipulation of these elements that sets you apart from your competition.
If you have a meaningful USP then you have:
- A better chance to be successful
- You are ‘better’ than the competition
- You have a ‘peg’ to hang your advertising and marketing activities
- You can make your business more profitable
- You can ensure your customers stay with you
