Every single day companies fight for their share in the marketplace. Look around you. You can see that there are a lot of businesses that sell the same products as their competitors.

In a mall, you will see various shops located side by side that sell clothes. What draws you to a specific store?

The strongest brands know the exact formula on how they will be known in the market, who their target market is, how they can reach their customers, and how to get the loyalty of their customers.

These companies do not stop at the top. These powerful brands know that there is always room for growth. To stay ahead, they must keep themselves abreast with technology.

BUILDING A STRONG BRAND

1. Research

Find out how similar businesses are currently doing. Understand the data. The failures and successes of your competitors can help you come up with the right strategy on how you can put your brand successfully on the market.

2. Personality

This is the impression that your brand will make on people. It means creating a distinguishable character apart from similar companies.

3. Market field

If you are selling clothes, for example, are your designs intended for use by teens or will they be more appreciated by older individuals? Set the cost of your products: will it be affordable for middle income earners or will it be classified as high-end? You should also consider the location of your store.

Your brand should also anticipate growth as trends will change in the next five years. It should be something that can retain its identity in the market, but at the same time, can evolve with the changing trends.

4. Brand Positioning

Consumers should easily identify your brand when they think of something they need. Example, when they think of the happiest place on earth, people think of Disneyland. If they are looking to purchase less expensive products, they would think about Target.

5. Experience

This is how your brand stands up to the promise it made to consumers. Relay a constant voice by clarifying what you offer to your customers.

6. Identity

This refers to the color, font, sound, and tagline. You will notice that each company has its own way of presenting itself. A golden arch means McDonald’s or a smiling bee in red and yellow is Jollibee.

SPREADING THE WORD

1. Marketing Events

Joining business events will let people know your brand. Exchanging business cards is one way of widening your network as well.

2. Social Media

Social media has become extremely significant to businesses. Building your online presence allows you to be known by people within your location, as well as a much wider market.

3. Search Engine Optimization

Websites are not merely for display. They should provide the information that consumers need by using appropriate keywords that can easily direct consumers towards their website.

It is possible that what you offer to the public is already in the market. The challenge for you now is how to gain leverage and to stress how you are different and better than others.
