Six steps to building your brand 

1) Define Your Brand 

Decide your brand's strengths by taking an honest look at your company and assessing what you’re doing better or different from your competitors. Decide on your core values too, what do you stand for and what do you represent? Are you an ethical brand? A family-owned business? When you understand what makes your brand unique, you can start brainstorming ways of communicating 

this to potential customers. 

2) Create a solid brand value proposition 

There’s so much competition out there and one of the major challenges for any brand is getting heard above all the noise. Demonstrate why customers should choose you, by highlighting the benefits of choosing your product or service. Identify your ideal customer avatar, then write down how your product solves an urgent problem for them or taps into a desire they have. Once you’ve done this, you can design a marketing strategy that conveys this to your audience. 

3) Build, build, build 

Building a successful brand doesn’t happen overnight, you need to put in consistent, regular effort and apply solid marketing strategies. One of the keys to growing a brand is raising customer awareness, so use every opportunity to tell the right people about what you do. Blogging, social 

media and advertising can help you reach out, but don’t just push your products, as you need to build trust first. 

To win customer trust, you need to show you add value. Create informative, useful social posts and blogs that are relevant to your audience and post regularly to keep them engaged. 

When you are ready to promote, you won’t just be screaming into the wind, you’ll be promoting to a high trust audience. To help build your authority, you can show testimonials from your satisfied customers, as people love before and after stories. Storytelling is a superb way to show potential customers how they’ll benefit when they purchase your products and services. 

4) Unify your brand voice 

All your content should be consistent, and that includes your graphic design, copywriting, and ads. 

You need to communicate your brand voice strongly in everything you put out online, so it is instantly recognizable. The goal here is to distill the essence of your brand so that people know immediately what it stands for. Great brands can make their customers feel like they are part of a 

tribe, by evoking aspirational feelings in their customers that make them want to purchase.

5)Encourage Interaction 

Make things personal by encouraging your customers to interact with your brand, whether that’s by giving feedback, co-creating products, or sharing their experiences. If you can make your following feel their voice matters, you’ll be able to develop customer loyalty and a much stronger connection to your brand. 

6) Adapt to thrive 

Monitor your marketing and branding approach so you can quickly adapt to changes in consumer demand. Tracking your performance and making tweaks can also be used to overhaul struggling brands if you are prepared to take an honest look at where your weaknesses lie. 

You can use social media analytics tools, Google Analytics tools, and Heat Maps to evaluate your sales copy, website, and blogs, to see what’s working and what isn’t. This will help you to finetune your marketing and pick up on opportunities to raise brand awareness.
