Tag: USP

When promoting your product or service, it’s easy to miss a key trick by failing to make what you’re selling unique. The term ‘Unique Selling Point’ (USP) was first coined in the 1940s, and first defined in print by advertising executive Rosser Reeves in 1961. A good current example of a clear USP is the well-known brand Head & Shoulders’ "You get rid of dandruff."

Why should I buy from your business compared to any of your competitors? This is one of the most critical questions you need to answer if you run your own business. I am amazed at how many business owners aren't clear and concise in their response. But get this right and your sales and marketing worries will be over for good.
