What makes a brand?

After all, there are plenty of companies out there who know they need a brand to connect with their audience, drive profits and maintain an effective reputation. Unfortunately, only a handful of those people understand what true branding is all about.

First, Create a selection of in-depth user personas to guide your decisions.

Do your homework and find out everything you can about the people most likely to buy products and services.

  • Where do they live?
  • How old are they?
  • Which other companies do they like?

Second, A vision statement clearly communicates your company’s objectives and provides you with a crucial compass for future branding decisions.

Lastly, Have a brand story. It’s important to have a background story that your customers can get behind. Ask yourself where the idea for your product or service came from.

  • How does it help your customers?
  • What can you offer that no-one else can?

Brand Essentials: 

  • Brand Personality & Values
  • Brand Positioning
  • Brand Image
  • Brand Equity
  • Brand Message and Voice
  • Brand Purpose

Use your brand essentials correctly, and you’ll develop a strategy that helps you to sell more of your products or service, outshine your competition, and even earn the long-term loyalty of your target audience.
