Building a formidable brand that can stand the test of time is more than coming up with a logo and color palette. It is more than that, and getting it right ensures you forever rent a space in the mind of your target audience.
Think about it— you feel connected to people you identify with. The same is true with brands. It is that feeling that the brand ‘gets’ you, and you’re likely to interact, buy, and even become an ambassador.
To create such a brand, some questions will gear you toward the right path, and they include:
Before launching your brand, you’re expected to have developed a buyer persona or customer biodata. This is vital information about your ideal customers that will shape almost every aspect of your brand identity.
Knowing your target market goes beyond knowing their age, location, or income. It involves understanding their pain points, what brings them joy, and what makes them proud.
Your brand has to be relatable to your target market if you want to drive them to take action. A brand with a strong personality will always resonate with its audience.
Take a look at some household names and think about the personality associated with them. This will help you craft a personality that best fits your business and target audience.
Unless you’re a monopolist, there are going to be some players offering the same products and services. By knowing who your competitors are, you can develop a marketing strategy that converts.
Having competition isn't a bad thing. In fact, it can help you create a stronger brand identity by building on what already exists and improving upon it.
Humans are naturally wired to love stories since they engage special areas of the brain. Stories foster a greater sense of connection, triggering oxytocin and strengthening relationships.
Your brand story could be how or why you were founded and the role you play in the lives of your customers. The goal is to make your customers the heroes of your brand story—because, ultimately, it’s all about them.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of similar brands out there. Why should your target audience trust you over others?
Sometimes, you might not know why your customers choose you, and interviews can be a great tool to discover their reasons. Your brand’s unique trust factors could be transparency, flexibility, or expertise.
