Study Notes
Unique Selling Proposition (USP) and Value Proposition (VP)
- Unique Selling Proposition (USP) defines how to sell products or services by addressing customer wants and desires.
- Value Proposition (VP) summarizes the reasons consumers should choose a product or service over competitors.
- Both USP and VP are vital for distinguishing products and offering compelling reasons to purchase.
Value Proposition (VP)
- VP consists of four core elements: target customer, needs/opportunity, product name, and enterprise name.
- Must be truthful and establish credibility to effectively attract consumers.
- Example: “Charing Sari-Sari Store, open 24/7” addresses the need for late-night convenience.
- Provides a competitive edge by highlighting unique operational hours compared to competitors.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
- USP focuses on the distinct characteristics of a product or service that offers a unique advantage.
- Effective USP requires market research to understand customer preferences and competitive dynamics.
- Tips for creating effective USP include identifying product uniqueness, being specific, and simplifying the message (KISS principle).
- Example: Jollibee's "Langhap Sarap" emphasizes unique Filipino flavor in its offerings.
Understanding the Market
- Market understanding is crucial for building a successful business model.
- Target Market: A defined group of consumers with shared characteristics that the business intends to serve.
- Segmentation methods include:
- Geographic: Based on location factors (climate, culture, density).
- Demographic: Based on consumer attributes (gender, age, income, education).
- Psychological: Focuses on customer attitudes, beliefs, and lifestyle.
- Behavioral: Assesses customer interactions and loyalty patterns.
Customer Requirements
- Customer requirements consist of specific needs from products or services, categorized as:
- Service Requirement: Intangible aspects like timely delivery and customer service experiences.
- Output Requirement: Tangible product specifications and characteristics that consumers expect.
Market Size
- Market size represents the total number of potential buyers and sellers in a market.
- Determining market size involves estimating potential customers, those likely to decline purchases, and analyzing competitor market shares.
- Accurate assessment of market size is essential for entrepreneurs seeking funding and launching products effectively.
