Why should anyone care about your brand?
That's the question you need to answer, quickly, on your Shopify store.
But, how do you do that?
First you need to understand that every consumer is selfish. Not because they're a terrible person. But because it's human nature.
We know the consumer is selfish. We also know people buy to solve a problem.
So then we know our store needs to convey why our product is best at solving a specific problem for a specific person.
And you do that with a USP.
A USP or unique selling proposition, is the reason someone should buy from you, and not from your competitors.
USPs are not just for big corporations. Every brand needs to quickly convey why they're different and better (in their target market's eye).
A great USP will make someone think - wow, this brand gets me.
A USP calls out the exact problem your brand solves and why that's different than another brand.
How do you write a USP? Answer these two questions:
- What is your customer's problem?
- How are you solving it differently than your competitor?
