What's In it For ME? Focusing on Benefits vs. Features
About this episode
On Christmas Day, I wrote a poem. Not to be confused with a Christmas poem, it was a poem about a zipper. An underrated, underestimated piece of fashion, function, and form, and all it has to offer the world.
A series of events around the poem is where I got the idea for THIS episode on Features vs. Benefits and why focusing on the benefits is important!
In the episode:
- What's the difference between a feature and a benefit?
- Product features vs. service-based business features
- Product benefits vs. service-based business benefits
- Why benefits
- 3 Benefits of focusing on the benefits in your content and marketing
- An activity to try right away to discover hidden benefits of anything!
- And more!
