The difference between a standard USP and a WOW factor is often in the way it is phrased. For example:

Standard: This product is designed to overcome the tangles that make your hair pull and snarl with a vengeance.

Wow factor: (testimonial) I can comb right through my hair with no snarls and pulling. (product) makes my hair combing ouchless!

Find the benefit then phrase it as a remarkable benefit in some way...not just a standard, blah, this does this and will do that for you. Make your copy sing to the reader.

Hope this helpful.
