Marketing textbooks call it Product Differential.

How are we doing?

At UncleMaxSays(UMS) we convey our Product Differential in several ways:

To separate ourselves from the corporate image we created a unique logo for business advice. We put a suit and tie on the photo of a monkey wearing glasses.

The name "UncleMaxSays.com" sounds a little offbeat or off-center, it doesn't meet the naming criteria of describing the nature of the product but, it does differentiate us from the competition.

The internet is loaded with serious textbook-style material with a lot of superfluous narrative. UMS uses a more familiar uncle-to-nephew tone.

The messages are directed to the owner/manager of a small enterprise. This market has been sorely neglected for years. It certainly has been addressed but, not always supplied with practical solutions to the problems facing the manager of a business employing less than 50 employees and with annual revenues of less than five million.

Most instructional materials prepare the reader with a story. UMS stories follow the lesson. Perhaps this will work for busy viewers who like to get the key information in one screen. If these busy managers want a story to illustrate a concept or stimulate ideas, they will scroll down for a story.

Does this work for you?
