Wonderful article, Sarah.

I'm one who DOES believe in "features". Let me use the classic power drill as an example. Maybe the power, voltage, RPM's, torque, chuck & bit diameter DO matter. Maybe it's not just about the hole it makes. I also need to know how it feels in my hand - how it fits, are excess vibrations damped, etc - but this I have to see for myself in person, not online.

(I've seen the "drill" bit so many times I thought a rebuttal was in order - this is not a jab at your article - it's a jab at the features/benefits argument.)

Hi Duncan,

Hey, jab away! I did describe it is a 'classic marketing example' after all. Of course people are interested in features but only they understand how your product or service is going to be of benefit. I do find when I'm speaking about features, it's all about me (or my client). When I'm discussing benefits, it's all about you. That's exactly where you want to be in your content.
