Reviewed by: Steve Vorster

Published

A Unique Selling Point (USP) is a distinctive feature or benefit that makes a product stand out from its competitors. It is a crucial concept in marketing, as it helps businesses attract customers by highlighting what they offer that rivals do not. A USP can be based on product quality, price, functionality, or any unique attribute that adds value to consumers.

By clearly identifying and promoting their USP, businesses can differentiate themselves, create a strong brand identity, and build customer loyalty in a competitive marketplace.
