We live in a cutthroat world where competition is fierce. As the old adage goes: you snooze, you lose! Business owners typically find themselves competing with many other companies also offering the same products & services, or the best they can do is compete on a price war strategy, ie if you drop your prices, I will too, which is not a smart strategy, as you end up\u00a0 devaluing your products\/services or tarnishing your brand image. Therefore,\u00a0business owners must learn to create a Unique Value Proposition (UVP) for their target customers to gain an edge over their competition.<\/strong><\/p>

As a multi-award winning\u00a0Digital Marketing Agency in Sydney<\/a>, at Clixpert, we\u2019ve helped thousands of businesses identify and leverage their UVP, and convey this message through the marketing campaigns we manage for our clients.<\/p>

Read on to discover how your business can benefit from creating and integrating a Unique Value Proposition into your marketing efforts.<\/strong><\/p>

What is Value Proposition?<\/h2>

\"How
How to determine your brand\u2019s Value Proposition<\/p>

\u00a0A Value Proposition is a promise that you make to your target customers on the value they will get from purchasing your products or services.<\/strong>\u00a0It is the main benefit that your customers will get when they become your customers.<\/p>

Your company\u2019s Value Proposition should answer the question, \u201cWhy should your customers choose you over your competitors?\u201d Likewise, a value proposition should convince potential customers why your products or services will give them more benefits than choosing what other companies are offering.<\/p>

What is Not a Value Proposition?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>

A Value Proposition is the promised value that your customers will get when they become your customer.\u00a0<\/strong>However, most people get confused about a Value Proposition and cannot distinguish it from buyer incentives and company slogans. To help clarify what a value proposition is, it is best to first understand what it is not. A\u00a0Unique Value Proposition<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is not the same as the following marketing tools.<\/p>

Incentives<\/strong><\/p>

Incentives are instant rewards that prospective customers will receive once they engage with your brand and become your customers. An example of an incentive is offering a discount on their next purchase or giving them one month free upon paying for a year\u2019s subscription.\u00a0While an incentive creates a positive motivation for your site\u2019s visitors to act immediately, they should not be confused with value propositions.<\/strong>\u00a0A Value Proposition informs your target audience of the benefits they will get in becoming your customers. However, it does not incentivise them to make a purchase right away.<\/p>

Catchphrase, Slogans or Taglines<\/strong><\/p>

Catchphrases and tag lines are soundbites from commercials that help in brand recognition. Likewise,\u00a0they are pieces of marketing copies written to briefly let people know what your brand is about and what you want your potential customers to know about your company<\/strong>. However, tag lines, slogans, and catchphrases should not be confused with value propositions since they do not communicate what sets your brand apart from your competition.<\/p>

For example, Nike\u2019s \u201cJust do it\u201d tagline does not communicate what benefits you will get when you engage with the Nike brand. However, this tagline is compelling since people can instantly recall Nike\u2019s brand when they hear or read these three words. On the other hand, the Value Proposition of Nike is that it inspires anybody to become an athlete because of its superior athletic products. Therefore, Nike\u2019s value propositions revolve around the concepts of accessibility, innovation, customisation, and status as the benefits that their customers will get.<\/p>

Positioning Statement<\/strong><\/p>

While positioning statements emphasize the benefits of purchasing a brand for a specific customer persona, they should not be confused with value propositions that give you the larger sum of the value you would get from a specific brand.\u00a0In a nutshell, a value proposition tells the target audience the whole range of benefits that a brand offers<\/strong>, while positioning statements are subsets of the value proposition created to communicate these benefits to a highly specific customer persona or segment.<\/p>

Nike\u2019s value proposition of accessibility, innovation, customization, and status offers the whole picture of customers\u2019 value when they choose Nike. In addition, however, marketers can create positioning statements focusing on customisation, specifically targeting runners who need customizable running shoes based on their pronation or the natural movement of their foot when they run.<\/p>

Why are Value Propositions Important?<\/strong><\/h3>

1. Convinces Customers to Choose Your Brand<\/strong><\/p>

\"Make
Make Your Brand More Desirable with a Unique Value Proposition<\/p>

A Value Proposition is important because it communicates what benefits your customers will get when choosing your brand.\u00a0<\/strong>Likewise, value propositions explain to your customers why working with your brand is one of the best decisions they will ever make. Finally, a value proposition will let your clients determine how your products and services offer solutions to their problems.<\/p>

2. Makes Your Brand Stand Apart from Your Competitors<\/strong><\/p>

\"Make
Make Your Brand Stand Apart with A Unique Value Proposition<\/p>

Likewise, a value proposition will set your brand apart from your competition. This statement will make your products and services stand out from others that are similar. Therefore, your brand\u2019s value proposition needs to be at the front and centre of all your marketing campaign efforts.<\/p>

Your visitors should find your\u00a0Unique Value Proposition\u00a0<\/em>on your company\u2019s homepage (or slogan, or in its marketing headline) and every common entrance point of your site\u2019s visitors, including blog posts, landing pages, and product pages.<\/strong>\u00a0A well-written unique value proposition will not be effective in driving sales if potential customers cannot see it.<\/p>

What are the Common Mistakes People Make in Creating a Unique Value Proposition?<\/strong><\/h3>

A well-written and effective Unique Value Proposition should answer the question, \u201cIf I am your target customer, why should I choose your brand instead of your competition and what\u2019s unique about your business that no other business can offer?\u201d While this may seem like a simple question to answer, most companies struggle to sum up their answers in one simple statement.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

The main reasons why companies have difficulty in Creating their Unique Value Propositions are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>

Not Having Proof<\/strong><\/p>

Companies may have not yet identified what sets them apart (makes them unique) from their competition and what value they could give their customers<\/strong>. Likewise, companies do not have proof to substantiate their claims of offering unique value to their customers.<\/p>

Using superlatives such as \u201cBest Ever\u201d or \u201cThe Most Effective\u201d is not a good way to start your value proposition if you do not have the statistics to back your claims. Zoom, for example, can write a value proposition as being the top video conferencing platform since a Gartner analysis backs their claim.<\/p>

Not Being Clear<\/strong><\/p>

The company is ineffective in communicating the value they are offering to their target customers. You know what your products and services can offer people, and you believe that customers can benefit and find value in what you are offering. However, are you communicating these benefits to your potential customers? Most often than not, when your company does not communicate your brand\u2019s selling points and why customers should choose you, these customers will likely find a company that does.<\/p>

Not Testing<\/strong><\/p>

The company is not testing or measuring the effectiveness of its Unique Value Proposition. You may think that you have created an Effective Unique Value Proposition; however,\u00a0when you do not test it, you may find out too late that the language you use does not resonate with your target market.<\/strong>\u00a0Therefore, it is vital to test the keywords you will use in writing the propositions to make your target audience understand them better.<\/p>

How to Effectively Write a Unique Value Proposition?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>

A strong Unique Value Proposition is a statement that will articulate your brand\u2019s benefits, advantages (which must be unique) over your competition and explains why choosing it is the best decision for your customers. However, Writing A Value Proposition is not as easy as it seems. You will need to conduct extensive research and brainstorm ideas to develop an effective value proposition that will drive sales, and essentially one that no other competitors are offering in the marketplace.<\/p>

Here are some of the steps to form a Unique Value Proposition for your brand.<\/strong><\/p>

Go Back to Your Brand Identity<\/strong><\/h4>

It is best to always refer to your company\u2019s mission and vision. However, if your mission and vision statements are vague or poorly worded, you will find it difficult to identify the values that you can offer your target market.<\/p>
