Dipping a bit into psychology here: 1. Highlight the unique: what makes your fish swim faster, glow in the dark, or maybe even sing opera? Exaggeration draws attention. 2. Storytelling Spectacle: did your product fend off a pirate attack or was made by mermaids? A backstory entertains. 3. Humor over Hype: instead of shouting, "We're the best!" whisper, "Everyone else is just copying us." Different is easier to spot. 4. Be the Underdog: if you're smaller, use that, "We're not the biggest fish, so we try harder." We're primed to root for the underdog. Make your messaging visible and unforgettable because being memorable is your lighthouse in a sea of sameness.
