Benefit vs Feature – Make Your Copy Sell!
Here’s a quick fact: It’s easier to distinguish your business from a benefit and service point of view than from a product or feature angle.
For example, if you sell telephone headsets, perhaps you can distinguish your product by saying it has a mute button, comes in 5 colors, and is lightweight.
So what? What benefit is that to me as a customer?
But from a service/benefit aspect, you can offer these benefits, which are MUCH more interesting to me:
· In stock or it’s FREE
· We never close
· 4-hour guaranteed repair
· Trade up when you outgrow your system
· Order 24 hours a day
· Choose from 100 different systems
· Same-day shipping — only $15
· Order by midnight and get same-day shipping
· Prepayment discounts
· FREE technical support
· Toll-free ordering hotline
· Priority-member ordering hotline
· Order over the Web from your own computer
· Money-back guarantee
· Saves you at least $10,000.00 a year in productivity or your money back
· FREE report with any purchase
· No minimums
· Guaranteed everyday low prices
· Business leasing — $0 down payment
· Expert sales consultants
· And much, much more
So tell your customers about the Benefits, not the Features of your service or product – and don’t be shy!
