marketing planHow to zero in on your unique selling proposition (USP) to set your business apart from the competition

Successful businesses know what makes them special to customers or their market and they “own it”.

As a small business you are often facing strong competition from your local market and from the big brands. If you offer a product or service that may seem like a commodity to some, it can be even more important to differentiate your business from competitors.

That’s where your unique selling proposition (or USP) comes into play. The USP is a simple way to answer the question:

“Why should prospects chose you over the competition?”

You should be able to easily answer the question affirmatively, and you should be using it at the core of your marketing messages and selling techniques.

I think a first important step to building a strong brand is identifying your business niche in the boating industry. What unique offering does your product or service deliver that no other company can match? You need to carve out your niche in the market and take ownership of it.

That niche may be an entirely new product or service, a new way of doing business, special unique services, or maybe a special focus on a specific segment. For other companies, their niche simply becomes as aspect of their business that they do really well, and it makes them stand out from the competition.

Whatever your niche, you need to stake your claim on it to build your brand positioning and your unique selling proposition.
