Whether you are creating or maintaining your brand image there are certain “rules” to follow to ensure the success of your brand.
Patience:
Consumers do not recognize brands overnight. Unless your brand has been around for years, it will take time to develop.
Focus:
Focus your brand and know your limits. Do not try to please the masses. Consider your intended target audience and go from there. A brand loses its strength when it is not consistent. Consistency helps you build a lasting relationship with your target market.
Difference:
Stand out amongst the competition. If there are multiple other products/services out there similar to yours, what makes your brand different? Focus on these differentiators when marketing your brand.
Public Relations:
Use PR to build your brand, and then use PR to maintain it.
Be Social:
Utilize social media to create conversations around your brand. Being found on social networks gives your audience the ability to build relationships with you.
Customer Service:
Make the consumer experience positive. Focus on customer service, first impressions and the quality of your product or service.
