Without a doubt, the foundation of awesome commercial success is the quality of what’s on offer. However, did you know that the absolute must-have for building skyward from there is branding?
Yes, if you think about it, a business without great branding is like Elvis without his amazing outfits and signature hip swivel. Sure, he would have probably done great things, but would he have become the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll? Probably not, and here’s why.
Brilliant branding helps businesses—and rock stars—connect with their audiences and tell their stories like nothing else. Over time, that branding comes to symbolize and trigger memories of everything they stand for in the minds of their customers and beyond.
Most importantly, when branding is thoughtfully tailored towards the right demographic, that’s where the magic really happens. There’s no better way to find your people than to develop an epic brand identity and make sure they can see it loud and proud! So, let’s jump into some tips for building a brand your audience will love.
Get to Know Your Target Demographic
When it comes to building a business, there are two places to start. The first is creating a fantastic product or service and then identifying it’s aligning audience. The second is discovering a common need and creating a product or service to satisfy it.
Whichever the direction of your business model, you can never know too much about your demographic. The more insight you can uncover about their pains, wants, and dreams, the better you can tailor your offering and branding accordingly. So don’t skimp on doing your research—it’s a must for building a brand that hits the ground running!
Cultivate the Right Brand Identity
With a strong sense of who your brand will cater to, you can begin sculpting a brand identity that aligns beautifully. Some aspects of this endeavour will come in the form of things like choosing the right logo, the right colour scheme, the right font, and the most stylish branded workwear. However, all of these things contribute to something overarching, and that is storytelling.
Outstanding branding does the heavy lifting of creating a stellar first impression and even drawing an emotional response from customers. When you make the stories that you tell not only about your journey but also about your customer’s journey—including what they aspire to—it is sure to really resonate.
Consistency Is Key
Once you’ve got your key branding elements in place, it’s time to double down on consistency. Visibility is essential for building brand awareness, customer loyalty, and market authority. Happily, there are plenty of places where you can apply your branding to keep your business at the forefront of people’s minds.
From the look of your marketing to the voice you use to speak to your customers, commit to being consistent across your digital presence and out here in the real world too.
Online means consistency for your website, advertising, and social media presence. In-person means things like kitting out your team with comfy and chic branded workwear and rewarding customer loyalty with fun and functional branded merchandise.
