Itâs called Zappos. A couple of months later, the uber smart 27-year old Hsieh joined the company as its CEO and, well, the rest is history. Today, Zappos is a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon (having been acquired for $1.2 billion in 2009) and its roughly 1,500 employees, headquartered in Las Vegas, produce in excess of $2 billion in revenues annually.
The online retailer Zappos is widely known and admired for offering not only free shipping but also free return shipping. In other words, even though the companyâs product is shoes, its USP has to do with customer service. Your USP does not have to be universally unique, but only unique in your area, industry or market. If you are the only pet shop in your city that sells saltwater fish, thatâs a USP even if there are stores in other cities that carry similar items.
