It is a very tight race, and your company is gaining. You may be new in the scene, but people are identifying with your brand. These days, that could spell the difference between survival and bankruptcy.
You want to maintain the interest of customers
It is evident you need a nudge to your intrinsic branding campaign. The goal is to make them remember the company’s name. Are you leaning towards distributing something with intrinsic value like a calendar? You can distribute flyers and calendars (for free), but it is almost the end of 2019.
It is not too late to rethink your branding strategy.
Brand exposure
If you go out there, you will meet many customers ready to buy your product. How will you find them? Your brand exposure strategy must be successful because failure means your fiercest competitor will bask in the spotlight. This mindset should drive your brand to the very top of the pack.
These days, companies are going out of their way to inform target audiences about their business. All sorts of gimmicks are being tried out just to get more local customers in the bandwagon. There are numerous avenues available. Aside from digital platforms, there is always the classic approach.
You can still put your logo on a keychain, t-shirt, or eco container or bag and hope for the best.
Winning a highly competitive race
Your brand should be more than enough to tell its own story. However, you must acknowledge the fact that there is always a more entertaining or surprising way to deliver the message. What could you do to earn a shortcut to the finish line – reaching it way ahead while everyone trails behind?
If, for instance, you can get 30 people to wear a shirt with your logo on it, will it be enough to make the world talk about your brand? Unfortunately, being ubiquitous does not necessarily translate to conversions and sales.
Even if you are an established brand, it will take more to convince present-day consumers to spend their money on your product.
How do you want to be remembered?
It all starts with brand awareness. Will potential buyers remember your brand when they think about something they need for themselves? The most recognisable brands have invested hours upon hours on brainstorming and product development.
This stage of the game can be simplified as a thoughtful process that takes into consideration what consumers remember about things they see and hear. The most unforgettable brands have made it a step farther. Confident that their product will turn heads, they proceeded to market it consistently and sincerely.
The last thing you want to do is confuse the people you are trying to convince. With a reputable identity and a consistent campaign that stands out, your company can sell anything.
Digital marketing can be a huge part of your branding campaign, but it would be a mistake to disregard other marketing platforms. Tell you a story in all the ways it can be told. An approach that features digital, print and customised items would prove effective in building a community of customers and potential brand ambassadors.
