Abstract

Discloses that the concept of the unique selling proposition (USP), as defined, means every advertisement has to propose a specific benefit to the consumer, that competition could not or did not offer. Warns it is much more difficult nowadays than 40 years ago to maintain a product difference or benefit. Looks at differentiators — some that don’t work and some that do. Examines the four steps to differentiation stating differentiating ideas must be simple, visible and delivered again and again.
