Hello, #MedicalMoguls! It’s me Dr. Drai, Dean of Medical Moguls Academy. I help doctors JUST LIKE YOU who are stuck, stressed out, and overwhelmed build profitable businesses based off of their purpose so they can maximize their revenue in half the time. Doctors, it’s time for you to live in your purpose, create more profit, and have the time freedom that you deserve. Let’s discuss Business Branding Strategies. Employing proper business branding strategies could spell the success for your business. Although it might be an intangible aspect of your business, it is basically what convinces people to buy your products or services. And when you garner enough sales, then only then can your business thrive. You must have sales to be in business.
What is a Branding Strategy?
A brand is not just a logo or a name, it represents your business identity. A brand is the messaging, the visuals, and the experience that a potential customer has with you. Therefore, it is a crucial part of the startup process for any business. Branding strategies are employed to provide the fundamental steps and recognize the valuable tools that will help create a strong business brand. In general terms, a strong brand is one that people recognize and believe to deliver good quality. Have you ever found yourself at the grocery choosing one product over the other because it is the more recognized or trusted brand?
It is, therefore, a branding strategy’s objective to recognize what could turn your business into a trusted brand name. How can you make people trust your brand and its reputation? What should you do to communicate the objective and mission of your company? What is the message you are trying to send out to produce loyal customers? A sound business branding strategy will aim to find answers to these questions before you can establish a brand for your company that would excel in the market.
1. Target Audience
Knowing your audience is the basis of any successful business. Your target audience is the people that are attracted to your brand i.e. purchase your products and services.
2. Create Name, Logo, or Website
Coming up with a name for your business goes hand in hand with creating a logo that will identify your company. When it comes to logos, always opt for something unique. Logos will be utilized in your advertising and marketing campaigns, so it must be well-recognized.
For beginners, think of a logo that will readily hint consumers about the nature of your business such as whether you are in the food, medical, or fitness business. Hence, choose images that are associated with the nature of your business and the products they will be used to represent.
3. Slogan or Tagline
Once you have the logo that you want, you can think of a slogan that will reinforce the message you are trying to communicate to the consumers. As long as you keep this part brief and straightforward, then this can be an effective branding tool for your business. This tagline will serve as an added touch to the main message you are trying to give, thus giving you an edge over your competitors and highlighting the unique experience or service that consumers will be able to avail of.
One advantage that you can get with including a tagline is that it is not permanent, unlike the logo. Therefore, if your company wishes to employ a new marketing strategy, you can readily change your tagline to highlight this new marketing ploy. A tagline then opens up several opportunities to expand your marketing campaigns, as compared to the static nature of company logos because they are the ones more difficult to establish.
4. Colors and Images
As with logos, colors and images can be used to establish the identity of your business. Colors depict a corresponding set of emotions as well. Therefore, you need to carefully pick out exactly what type of color you are going to use in your logo in accordance with the image and personality of your business. Try to conduct a little bit of research about the different qualities of color types so you can determine exactly what best to use for your company.
5. Unique Product and Services
When communicating your company brand into the market, highlight the products or services that only you can offer. If you can guarantee a service that none of your competition can, then you create an edge on your customers over the same businesses. Then, you can use that as a chief marketing strategy to draw more people into your business. An example of this would be a time guarantee on your delivery services if you’re in the food business.
Learning how to effectively employ these business branding strategies will help boost your company’s campaign and be that much closer to your desired business success.
