I think you hit on a good story in a response to someone else, about your alpha user who needed to scan a bunch of cards he collected at a conference.
Think about your (small set of) users so far. What's the coolest, most noteworthy thing someone has used your product for?
Find (or make happen) a human interest story. A bride who used the product to scan all of the business cards of all of the wedding-related vendors (florists, caterers, etc.) Someone who is using CardMunch to cure cancer.
"Accuracy" and "Ease of Use" are great-- the point is to find a narrative that gets the point across.
Tell me a "real world" story about a time when "a wrong contact was worse than no contact."
- iag 16y agoHah, CardMunch didn't cure cancer, but here's true story that people could relate to. I remember one day this beta user decided to send in a bunch of cards for process. It was nothing out of the ordinary except the stream of cards just kept coming. By the end of the hour, he had sent in 470 contacts. We completed them fairly quickly, but out of curiosity we calculated exactly how much manhours we spent processing his cards. 19.93 HRs. Arguably that's how much time he saved, because he didn't have to do everything on his own. It was pretty sweet. So maybe the title of the story would be: "how we saved one user 19.93 hours in one Friday afternoon"? Is that something you can relate to? :)
