use of this term comes in. The use of this term should be used after taking into consideration
type of offer you are giving whether it is attractive enough to prospective customers and

benefits he is going to get by using
product. We use products because of
utility we expect to derive from them and an explanation on what will be obtained from their use is important.

superiority of your products over you rivals' products. What features are more outstanding? Is
quality much higher? Are

uniqueness of your product you are very much likely to entice prospective customers to buy your products. This uniqueness may best be expressed by using
term "only" appropriately. This shows customers you have an edge over competitors, materials and products to delight their customers and stay ahead of
competition.
Please note that
use of these terms on their own will not make high sales without
presence of a valued product and
right mix of factors such as a strong distribution network, attractive packaging and branding, an effective and efficient friendly customer service among a host of other factors.
The whole business must be geared towards providing better customer service and care and continually improve its advertising materials.
Mere usage of terms without ensuring that your products meet
highest reputation,safety standards and customer expectations will not do much to improve sales. The company must develop mechanisms of measuring and meeting customer concerns and requirements if it is to keep within track of its goals.
