USP

Unique Selling Proposition

Definition

The specific thing that makes your business different from every competitor, the reason a customer should choose you over anyone else.

Why it matters

Without a USP, you compete on price, and price competition is a race to the bottom. Your USP is your defensive moat.

Example

"We ship every order within 24 hours, guaranteed. If your order is late, you get it free." Speed and a risk reversal, a specific, provable USP.
