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.

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.
