A unique selling proposition (USP) is a statement that defines how your business, product or service is different from the competition. It's a promise you make to your customers while explaining what makes you unique. You probably know some very powerful USPs:
- Nike: Just do it.
- Bounty: The Quicker Picker-Upper
- Domino's Pizza: You get fresh, hot pizza delivered to your door in 30 minutes or less or it's free. (No longer used, but a great example!)
Writing a USP is an excellent exercise for all small business owners, and your USP can be used in a number of ways. In fact, having a solid USP can help you become more successful in business. Not convinced? Here are four reasons you should take time to write or improve your USP today:
