Creating a compelling value proposition can feel like a daunting task for startup founders.
It's the cornerstone of your marketing and defines how you present your product to the world.
The Ad-Lib Value Proposition Template is a simple, yet powerful tool to help you get it right.
It guides you in crafting a clear and concise value proposition.
This template ensures you cover all the essential points.
The structure is straightforward:
Let’s break it down step-by-step:
Our [product/service]: Clearly state what your product or service is.
Helps [customer segment]: Define the customer segment you're targeting.
Who [statement of the need or opportunity]: Identify the problem or need your customer has.
By [statement of benefit]: Highlight the main benefit your product provides.
Unlike [primary competitive alternative]: Compare with the main competitor to show how you stand out.
Here’s an example using Airbnb to illustrate how it works:
Our innovative online travel marketplace helps conscious travellers who want more authentic travel choices at a better value, by connecting them with private hosts to provide healthy travel that is local, authentic, diverse, inclusive and sustainable. Unlike Vrbo, our product offers a much broader range of options, including shared spaces, glamping, and other unique stays.
And we'd be remised if we didn't do one for foundercentre:
Our free-to-use platform helps first-time founders and early-stage startups who want to give their startups the best chance of success by providing them with a space to showcase how their startup operates and connect with like-minded founders. Unlike LinkedIn, our product helps you build a supportive community to help your startup grow regardless of size or stage.
