Use Your USP Consistently

Differentiate Your Business Model

In today’s world, being different is very important. You need to know what your customers like. Then, you must change your business model to be special. This is especially true for businesses that are not online. They need to work out how to stand out against online ones.¹⁹ Instead of thinking, “How can I beat this website?”, think, “How can I offer what people who want to deal with humans need?”

Online vs. Offline

There are big differences between doing business online and in a shop. By understanding these, we can find special ways to meet what customers like best.¹⁹ Online shops are good at being easy and growing fast. But, shops can offer personal services and a warm welcome. They can set themselves apart by doing things that digital shops can’t.

This might mean giving top-notch customer service in person. Also, making unique experiences. Trust and credibility grow thanks to physically being there.

Cater to Preferred Buying Experiences

It’s vital to know how your customers like to buy things. Some love the quick, easy way of shopping online. Others want the personal care that comes with buying in person.²⁰ Meeting these needs helps us be the chosen one. Our business becomes the top pick, whether for easy online shopping or a warm in-person experience.

Mixing online and offline strengths can create something that truly appeals to customers.¹⁹ It can be a mix or focusing on what we do best for our customers. The important thing is to keep eyes on what clients want, and always improve our model to stay in front.
