What ’s Your USP?

: How To Stand Out In Any Market

To succeed in business, you have to show people why they


should buy from you. What is it that makes you the best choice
for your customers? That reason is called your Unique Selling
Proposition, or USP.

The best USPs explain how your business uniquely benefits your
customers, in just a few words. Since a USP is so powerful, you
should incorporate it into as many marketing activities as you can.

Now that we’re clear on what a USP is and why it’s valuable,
let’s start creating one for your business. Below you’ll find a
simple 3-step process to help you craft your USP in a clear and
concise way.

Let’s get started!

STEP 1:
ANSWER THE BELOW QUESTIONS RELATED TO YOUR BUSINESS
1. Differentiator / Market Gap

Some examples…

• FedEx: Overnight shipping, great customer service, reliable international


shipping

• Domino’s Pizza: Fast pizza delivery, hot pizza every time, cheap prices

• M&M’s: Bite-sized chocolate that doesn’t melt in your hand, keeps clothes and
kids clean, easily transportable

market face that your product/service can solve for them?

cold pizza.

STEP 2:
COMBINE YOUR ANSWERS ABOVE INTO ONE STATEMENT
You can use the below template if it helps. Your answers might overlap, so
try to rewrite it so that it makes sense.

I provide (differentiator / gap) ________________________,


to (target / problem) ________________________.

Some examples:

• FedEx provides fast overnight shipping with great customer service for
people who need to ship things quickly and hassle-free.

• Domino’s delivers pizza in 30-minutes or less (or it’s free) for people who
love inexpensive pizza and hate waiting for it to arrive/hate cold pizza.

• M&M’s provides a way to eat chocolate on-the-go for candy lovers who
hate melted candy that makes a mess.

STEP 3:
EDIT YOUR STATEMENT TO CREATE YOUR USP
Now, take your results from Step 2 and condense it. You want your final
USP to be as specific and simple as possible.

Great USP’s are crystal clear in their message. That means as soon as you
hear them, you know exactly what they’re saying. The way to make this
happen is to do a few drafts until you arrive at your final USP.

Examples:

• FedEx: “When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.”

• Domino’s Pizza: “We deliver hot, fresh pizza to your door in 30 minutes or less,
or it’s free.”

• M&M’s: “Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.”
