3 Ways To Create A Spectacular Brand

Your brand represents a unique promise that you make to every single one of your clients and potential clients. It’s the consistency of this promise that will encourage your clients to be loyal to your brand. Getting your clients to become loyal to your brand is the only real way to make your brand successful.

But for your promise to be effective and spectacular, it must be distinct and clearly distinguishable from the many other promises your potential clients will encounter.

  • What kind of promise is your brand making?
  • Who is your brand making this promise to?
  • Why is your brand’s promise different from everyone else’s?
  • Why should anyone believe your promise?

At a glance, the task of defining your brand may appear quite simple but please don’t be fooled. The golden arches of McDonald’s and the Nike swoosh didn’t become what they are in a day. These and other successful brands are the product of careful research, distinctly defined boundaries and a comprehensive Marketing strategy.

The result of all this hard work is that each client and potential client knows exactly what these brands represent. Have you ever walked into McDonald’s to order a Pepperoni pizza? Would anyone in their right minds drive to Nike to pick up a pair of ruby red stilettos?  Of course not! That’s because these brands have carefully made sure we know exactly what to expect and what these brands can deliver.

Clients are far more likely to be loyal to a brand that sends a clear message or has a distinct voice.

Let’s cover the 3 Ways To Create A Spectacular Brand with starting with … What Is Your Business Good At Doing?

You can make use of S.W.O.T analysis to outline the major strengths and weakness of your business. It goes without saying that your brand should represent the strengths or core functions of your business.

This will require some amount of honest self-evaluation. Some entrepreneurs fall into the trap of aiming to be good at everything or doing too many things at the same time. Even worse is trying to make a ‘universal’ product or service that has no specific target audience.

The result of this kind of strategy would be a brand that is not well defined and will not encourage brand loyalty.  Trying to target everybody and doing everything will force you to spread your resources too thin. Choose The Right Marketing Tools. The marketing tools that you choose to make use of should then emphasize the core focus of your business. In doing so, your marketing strategy should also emphasize what your business is not and thus make your clients see that your focus is not on getting their money.

This is an easy way to highlight the difference between you and the competition. A memorable brand is not worth the effort if you are not earning any money and the easiest way to make money is to be better than your competition.  Three Simple Words That Represent What Your Business Does Well.

Think of it this way, which three words would you want your clients to use to describe your brand if your brand was a person? This will require that you and your team carefully define the mission and vision statement of your business as well. Your next move should be figuring out how to communicate these attributes to your target audience with the utmost simplicity. One core principle that never fails is to focus on quality and convenience.

The identity of your brand should be carefully tied to adding value. Make your clients think of your product or service as being of the best quality, the easiest to use, the most affordable or even the most durable. Selling hype will not get you very far.  Finally, remember that your aim is to give your brand a pleasant voice and a distinct identity.

The aim is to get the voice of your brand off the website into the mind of your target audience. Your message should make such a deep impression on your target audience that purchasing your product or service should seem like the only sensible choice.
