Does Your USP Work?

Perhaps rather than a Unique Selling Proposition you need a Decisive Power Point to separate your small business from your competition.

clipped from systematicdirectmarketing.com Why USPs Don’t Work   The USP (Unique Selling Proposition) is based on the assumption that if you can’t be better than the competition then being different will usually suffice. Finding your USP can be like the quest for the proverbial Holy Grail.

The quest to find ‘unique’ when ‘relevant’, ‘outstanding’ and ‘decisive’ are just as good can be frustrating and wasteful.
