Discover The USP Of Your Business in Just 5 Mins. Guaranteed

Seriously! You need to answer just 3 simple questions

A business without a clear USP is bound to fail, sooner than later.

(Let's give your business a distinct USP in 5 mins or less)

Ready?

First things first, let's get this simple fact out of the way.

Why does your business NEED a well-defined USP?

Long story short, USP tells your customers, the market, and the competition why and how are you different.

Customers prefer selecting a brand, when they know they're getting something peculiar/ distinct as compared to other brands.

A USP makes you stand out among the crowd of brands within the same industry.

You won't compete with a market leader, unless you have the capital and the capacity to defeat a behemoth, right?

Similarly, your USP makes you a behemoth in a specific slice of the market, and when you treat that slice of the market well, chances of your competition entering your territory are minimised.

Now let's talk about HOW to create that edge in the market and clearly define your USP?

Let's start by answering 3 questions:
01. What is it that others are not providing or are failing to service from existing customer needs?

02. How does your business service that gap? and

03. How is your product/ service slightly different from all other options, available in the market.

There are multiple ways to stand out and offer a slightly different product.

For example: a cafe can serve vegan/ Jain/ vegetarian/ eggs/ non-veg food options. You can also add a layer of organic or responsibly sourced to add to the mix.

Depending on how mature your industry is, the need to add multiple simple layers of differentiating factors become inevitable.

But that doesn't mean you have to complicate your product offering in anyway.

Identify your target customers and create a product that they crave/ will appreciate, and the incumbents are failing to provide (since they're committed to their USP).

An existing burger joint can't declare it's going to cater only to vegetarian customers from next week/ month, but if you feel a vegetarian burger joint will do good business in your market, you can start that business from day 01 and that will become the USP of your business.

The most effective way to decode the USP of your business is not to complicate it and keep things clear and simple.
