@copyhackers thanks for taking the time to respond in such detail. This has helped greatly!
I can see how I can modify the value proposition benefit as the user continues through the stages of the buyers journey on my site! Copywriting K.O on the way :)
Have purchased your starter bundle and learnt so much already!
Still a bit confused about value propositions though.
There seems to be a lot of conflicting information online about what a value proposition should and shouldn't include.
For example Step 5 of http://conversionxl.com/landing-page-optimization/ states that a value proposition should:
Directly address who the customer is.
State what the product does
Tells why your unique
Shows the end benefit
...yet even the examples for each one don't do all of these.
Should a value proposition do all of these or just some of these and how do you prioritize which to include in headings/subheadings?
In regards to benefits, how do you know when to use a direct benefit or a larger indirect benefit? (i.e "saves you money on hotels" vs. "spend more on experiences rather than hotels".)
I've also read http://nathanbarry.com/step-by-step-landing-page-copywriting/ which recommends talking to the users problem in the headline rather than the benefit. What do you think of this approach?
