Finding Your USPs

Table of Contents

What Are USPs?

A USP is a unique selling point or unique selling proposition – it’s the thing that sets you apart from your competition.

In reality, it doesn’t have to be unique, just a selling point, and pretty much anything about your clinic can be turned into a USP. For example, if you have online booking then a USP is the convenience of an online booking system allowing you to book your appointment quickly and easily at any time. If you don’t, then the USP is that you offer a personal reception service where all appointments are booked by hand, without the need to navigate an awkward online booking service. Whatever it is, there is a way of making it a selling point.

The goal of this section is to identify your USPs and add them to your clinic marketing guide along with your keywords and positioning information.

USPs fall into a few different areas. We have:

  • Treatment USPs
  • Practitioner USPs
  • Clinic USPs

We’ll cover each in turn. I also suggest you read both of these blog posts:

Even if you’re not a talking therapist, the second one also shows the process of taking your UPSs and putting them into prose, so is well worth a read.

Treatment USPs

These are USPs around your approach to treatment. For example you might say:

  • Highly experienced
  • Take a holistic/patient-centred approach
  • Provide a detailed treatment plan
  • Have the latest equipment

Practitioner USPs

USPs around the individual practitioner. For example:

  • Specialist in a particular treatment
  • Registered with a particular professional body
  • Specialist experience in certain hospitals, etc.
  • Trained in a certain method or approach
  • Listens and understands patients

Clinic USPs

How good your clinic or process is, e.g.

  • Easily accessible inner-city location
  • Easy online booking
  • Free parking
  • Comfortable reception / waiting area
  • Cancel up to 24 hours before appointment

Add to Your Clinic Marketing Guide

Brainstorm your various USPs and collate them, then decide which are the most powerful marketing messages.

You might want to ask some friends what they think would most influence them, or ask existing or previous patients what they like about you. Add your USPs to your clinic marketing guide, and they’re ready to be used in your clinic descriptions and elevator pitch.
