How to Build a Branding Strategy
Grounded in Your Values, Promoting Your Value.
Branding is creating a positive image of your company that builds a
loyal customer base. How do you build your brand? Let’s look at the
elments:
Your Market History
Do you understand your industry? Do you know where it’s been, where
it’s at, and where it’s going? Have you positioned your organization to
benefit from future trends and industry growth?
Your Market Position
The process of product branding is the development of a long term
marketing and communications strategy, based upon a relatively short
term investment. It is an extension of your core company values.
How do customers view your product or services? How do they view
your contribution to the industry? How do you want to be known?
Your Target Market
Who is your ideal customer? What are their demographics?
Psychographics? How can you tap into knowledge of your customer
base? You must position your message to provocatively attract this
group.
Learning to speak directly to the needs of your clients allows you to
craft a relevant and engaging message.
Your Brand Promise
What is brand promise? It is the basic assumptions people make about
your business’s offerings to the public. What is it that people are
saying about you? Exceptional service? Fast and friendly? Reliable?
The qualities most valued will vary between industries, but it all boils
down to what you can successfully deliver to your customers with each
contact you make.
Your Brand Identity
Your brand identity is who you are. Regardless of whether you have
developed a brand strategy, the public has already made emotional
connections between your business and the products or services you
provide.
Your Brand Message
A compelling, unique, and attractive brand message is integral in
communicating your long term marketing message. Above all, your
brand must communicate your unique position relevant to your target
market.
The key element to a successful brand strategy is successfully
establishing a relationship with your customers that provides
opportunities for them to have a positive and memorable brand
experience.
