Nobody cares about your product - everyone wants a solution to their problem!

I will say it straight:

Nobody cares about your products.

Zero. No one.

And no, it is nothing personal.

People do not want a drill. They want a hole in the wall.

When someone is looking for a drill, they do not have a collection on a shelf at home and they are not saying to themselves:

"Hmm, today I would buy another Makita, just for the fun of it."

No.

That person wants to hang a picture. Or a shelf. Or a TV.

And they need a hole in the wall.

The drill is only a means. A tool. A path. But not the goal.

Everyone is looking for a solution, not a product

When people come to your website, they do not care what your product is called, what model it is or how many features it has.

They care about whether it solves their problem.

And the first question they ask themselves (even if they do not say it out loud) is:

"Will this help me?"

If you do not answer it for them within a few seconds, they are gone.

An example from practice

I had a client who sold software for accounting firms.

On the website he had everything - logos, a colourful gradient, a modern font. But nowhere did it say what the software actually helps with.

We changed the main headline from:

"An innovative accounting platform for modern companies"

to:

"Save 10 hours a week with smart, paperless accounting."

The result?

40 % more people clicked the "Try it free" button.

Because we stopped talking about the product - and started talking about solving the problem.

How to use this in your marketing

1. Do not describe what you offer. Write what it means for the customer.
   • Not: "We sell heat pumps."
   • Yes: "We will help you cut your heating bills by 60 %."
2. Speak the language of pain and relief.
   • People do not respond to features, but to the result.
3. Test:
   • Look at your website.
   • If a competitor replaced your product and the text still made sense, your content is too generic.

Summary

The customer does not want your product. They want the result that your product brings them.

So next time, before you start writing text for your website or an ad, ask: "What is in it for my customer?"

And once you know that, you will sell more. Every time.

P.S. If you have a website that talks more about products than about customers, get in touch. I will help you rewrite the texts so they sell solutions - not things.
