The "Elevator Test"

The “Elevator Test”
Fill in the missing items in:
“[Product] is a [2- or 3-word description] that [delivers what main function or benefit]. Unlike [competing alternatives], [Product] [differentiating benefit].”
For example: “ZoomMail is a weekly, electronic newsletter that highlights significant events and overlooked products for Internet users. Unlike paper-backed publications, ZoomMail delivers thoughtful articles on a timely basis.”
The elevator test gets its name from the fact that it is short enough to answer someone’s query about your product during an elevator ride.
