A strong UVP is crucial as it communicates the specific benefits that your solution offers, which are not available elsewhere. It helps potential investors understand the competitive advantage of your startup and can be a key factor in their decision-making process.
WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED:
Key Benefits: Highlight the most compelling benefits your product or service offers.
Differentiators: Specify what sets your offering apart from existing alternatives.
Market Niche: Identify the specific market segment or niche that you are targeting, which may be underserved by current solutions.
TIPS
Focus on Customer Needs: Align your UVP with what your customers value most. Understanding customer pain points and how your product resolves them is key.
Be Specific and Concise: Avoid generic phrases that could apply to any company. Be specific about what makes your product unique.
Empirical Evidence: Support your UVP with data, customer testimonials, or case studies that validate your claims.
EXAMPLES
Evernote: "Remember Everything." Evernote’s UVP lies in its ability to help users capture and organize their thoughts and information across all devices, something that traditional note-taking solutions could not offer.
Dollar Shave Club: "Shave Time. Shave Money." This clever UVP not only plays on words but also highlights the brand's main benefits—cost-efficiency and convenience, differentiating it from traditional razor brands.
Slack: "Be Less Busy." Slack’s UVP focuses on reducing clutter and streamlining communication, addressing the common pain points in workplace communication and collaboration tools.
