Developing a Unique Selling Proposition that Customers Remember
Research that Fuels a Defensible USP
Customer Interviews that Surface Non‑Obvious Value
Interview loyalists, switchers, and skeptics. Probe moments of purchase and regret. RiverLeaf learned apartment dwellers valued tiny storage footprints most. That beat generic eco claims. Post your top three interview questions, and we’ll suggest refinements.
Competitive Teardown Without Tunnel Vision
Map competitor promises, proof points, and blind spots across channels. Notice sameness and missing angles. If everyone shouts “premium,” own measurable convenience. Screenshot three competitor headlines, highlight overlap, and comment with the whitespace you can claim.
Data You Already Own
Mine support tickets, search queries, and return reasons. Patterns point to what people truly value. RiverLeaf’s late‑night chats spiked around laundry room schedules, revealing convenience anxiety. Commit to reviewing one neglected dataset this week and share what surprised you.
Storytelling Your USP So It Sticks
Distill your USP into a one‑line narrative: a relatable problem, the distinct shift your product creates, and the reason to believe. RiverLeaf’s line: cramped laundry rooms to tidy, plastic‑free loads, proven by fast‑dissolving strips.
