To understand benefit-driven strategies, you must first know the difference between a feature and a benefit.

Features are the technical specifications, facts, and tools of your product.

Benefits are the actual positive outcomes, emotions, and solutions those features deliver to the customer.

For example, a smartphone feature is a “5,000 mAh battery.” The benefit is “you never have to worry about your phone dying during a long workday.” Features speak to the product; benefits speak to the person. Why Benefits Win Hearts and Wallets
