Build Your Brand

All successful businesses have this in common: they have widely recognized brands. Building the brand is in fact one of the secrets to creating a successful business empire. Even companies that start small can build and grow into power brands.

What is exactly is a brand and how is it developed? A brand is your sales proposition; it is your identity. It is the message you give your clients about the reliability of your product. Home based businesses can benefit from brand building because one of the first goals of start-up companies is to build a network of loyal customers. Branding can help a company achieve this goal.

To create an image or to build a brand for your company, make sure you have specific goals, understand your product and know your target market. You create a marketing plan based on these pieces of information. You must understand your client demographic and understand what needs of theirs you are trying to fill.

All your marketing efforts must be consistent so that you can create brand awareness. You should be able to broadcast your message over and over until your clients learn to recognize you from these messages. Create simple trademarks and stay focused on broadcasting or portraying a specific, consistent image. You build customer loyalty by creating an impeccable image for yourself. Of course, building the brand without a worthy product will only result in your whole business failing. Your clients will find out sooner or later that it's just all hype. If you have a good product, then building the brand will help you gain good following. To build a respectable image, you must implement marketing promos and activities that are aligned with your goals. All sales and marketing efforts must be coordinated so that you don't send mixed, confusing messaged to clients. Everything from your logo, to your activities, to your pricing, you website, and packaging must be well thought-out.

One of the ways you can build your brand is to get endorsements from respectable individuals or companies. This method involves having to pay the endorser but if you create enough buzz around your brand, then they may be the best investment you'll make for your business. The bigger the buzz you create, the better. You can gain instant recognition when you create a huge buzz. People usually associate products with their endorsers so make sure you can get an endorser that matches your company's image.

Join events and activities that will get you connected with your target market. You don't have to join every event there is but choose wisely. Attend trade shows or niche conferences that target the same audience as you. These types of events will allow you to reach potential customers or suppliers. You can interact with prospects and continue building your network of contacts.
Remember, it's all about being consistent. Be very specific about the kind of value-proposition you will present and stick to it. Create marketing activities that revolve around this value proposition.
