Brand marketing isn’t always easy, but there are some powerful techniques you can implement to promote your brand. Although these may seem easy on the surface, if you dig deep when you implement these strategies, you’ll see better returns.
1. Strong Branding
A lot can be said for strong branding. It’s a big part of building brand recognition and fostering brand loyalty. Display Advertising Agency suggests consistency with your brand’s color palette, shapes, styles, and fonts in everything you share, including business cards, social media templates, brochures, flyers, etc. Other ways to increase brand messaging include placing your logo on promotional materials and products.
2. Build a Social Media Presence
Potential customers will look for two things when attempting to research your brand: your social media profiles and your website. A strong social media presence will give you access to your target market and allow you to interact with them engagingly. You can also use social media to identify pain points, customer needs, and new markets.
3. Build a Website
Building a website is a great way to establish an online presence. One of the first things people do when they hear about a new business or product is do a quick Internet search. If someone searches for your brand, you want them to be able to find you. You want your site to answer basic questions (like business hours and location, product and service offerings, etc.), be visually appealing, and have good SEO.
4. Giveaways
Incentivize customers with giveaways. Giveaways are fun and increase your visibility. You can offer something from your own business or something else. The choice is yours. Giveaways can be a gift with purchase or they can be a contest. When hosting a giveaway contest, you can set the parameters. You can ask for an honest review, references, or ideas. Be sure to structure your giveaway so that it helps you reach your business goals.
5. Networking
Attending workshops, conferences, flea markets, and other events is a great way to network and get noticed. The only caveat to networking is that you attend events that align with your brand identity. Doing so will help you get closer to the customers and vendors you want to work with. You’ll have a chance to educate people on your product or service, meet competitors, and learn from other businesses.
6. Tell a Story
Get personal and go for your target market’s emotions. By implementing storytelling in your marketing, you will better connect to your customers and help them invest in your brand’s story.
7. Help Others
No one wants to feel used, and that’s what customers feel like when you’re constantly bombarding them with salesy content. It’s nice to break up your obvious marketing with subtle and helpful marketing. Provide your audience with useful information that is engaging, interactive, and convenient. Some common options for helping others with your business are to host a blog or podcast, offer online webinars, and create ebooks.
Now that you’ve got some ideas of how you can give your brand a boost, it’s time to decide which to start with and begin brainstorming ways to implement them.
