Individuality aside, every project relies on the same
principle to communicate its message and validity.
Successful technical,
commercial, and literary works depend on a USP:
Unique Selling Point/Unique Selling Proposition.
Now, there will always
be a group advocating art over commercialization. And we
are not dismissing the value of art or art for art's
sake...
The hidden truth, however, is that
the same goal that determines success is shared
by: classical books, software manuals, television
commercials, feature films, avant-garde poems,
and classified ads.
Just about any form of expression
you can think of boils down to one overriding purpose.
That purpose is
to project a thought and receive a desired
response.
You are persuading an
audience to look at what you show them and to listen to what
you are saying. Your objective is to get them to
respond accordingly.
A USP does not
mean sellout. It
means sell-for,
tell-for, and
show-for:
- "I want to
sell you this for..."
- "I want to tell you this for..."
- "I want to
show you this
for..."
The
USP is the focal point to identify your product and to
present an opportunity.
- What are you
offering?
- What will they
gain?
Are
you making their life easier... better? Are
you saving them money... time? Are you giving them
something they can not get anywhere else?
What are you providing?
Information? Services? Merchandise? Entertainment?
It doesn't matter. And... it doesn't
matter if it's a free offer or an expensive
luxury...
You are still selling why it should be part of a
person's life.
- Why they want it
- Why they need it
- Why it deserves their time
- Why it deserves their interest
- Why it deserves their
positive response
How will the audience ultimately
benefit from what you offer? Is it for
them?
Provide the answer they will respond
to.
How will you benefit from what
StreetCorner Press offers?
You will save time. You
will save money. You will escape the path of trial and
error.
Eliminate the learning curve to
master correct writing styles, formats, and editing. Save the
cost of research and reference materials. Reduce the cost
of software with the time spent learning how to use
it.
Receive the rewards of your
message's extra effect and power plus the positive
responses.
StreetCorner Press provides writing
and editing that effectively unites what you want to say
and how you want to say it.
Don't risk letting your readers, clients,
or audience be distracted by typos, grammatical errors, or weak
communication. Prevent undermining your message, advertisement,
or story. Make sure your voice is heard and understood.
Each project requires an individual
approach while keeping the focus clear. A short message for an
advertising postcard requires different treatment than a novel
recounting adventures in far off lands. A client-sensitive
letter needs tact that wouldn't be used in a press
release. An article for a travel magazine is
not approached like a script for a radio ad.
StreetCorner Press treats and
delivers your writing, editing, or publishing project so you'll
present it with pride and confidence.
(In other words: Take care of other
business. Take a trip. Relax on the beach. Enjoy a round of
golf! ...We'll take what you want to write and make it
right.)
