How to Create the Best Brand Awareness for Your Business

Your products, your services, and your business all revolve around your brand. It is the key defining factor of a company and one that can either make or break a business. It is imperative that you know how to create the best brand awareness for your business – and here’s how you can do it.

Promote Your Brand in the Best Light

Does a struggling salesman start turning up to work on a bicycle? No, he turns up in a newer car; brand awareness is all about perception. Whether it’s using digital film for a televisual marketing campaign or B1 format printing in a print media campaign, it is vital that you always use the best tools at your disposal when creating brand awareness.

Finding Your Brand’s Voice

Customer loyalty is vitally important to almost all businesses. It is a phenomenon that allows a company access to people who will act as free marketing brand ambassadors. Additionally, loyal customers will provide you with honest, quality feedback. It is a factor that also helps to insulate a business from price competition. However, customer loyalty rarely happens by accident; it is something that a brand has to work at.

One of the reasons that customers remain loyal to a brand is because they feel like they relate to it. This may be through shared moral values or a shared sense of humour; whatever it is, the importance of it is that it keeps customers coming back.

In order to ensure that you are able to achieve a high level of loyalty among your consumer base, you must be consistent with the values and tone of your brand. If the Sun newspaper suddenly changed its stance from a reactionary redtop to a left-wing broadsheet, it is very unlikely that brand loyalty alone would allow the publication to keep its readership. In much the same way, if you fail to be consistent with the tone and value of your business, you will struggle to reap the rewards associated with customer loyalty.

Although you want your brand to have its own clear voice, you should be careful not to be too extreme with your values; otherwise, you could reduce your potential consumer base, which would impact negatively on your business.

Build a Multi-Platform Brand

Just because your company produces toilet roll, this doesn’t mean that you need to limit your brand to this one area of business. Try thinking outside the box and consider the other areas in which you could expand your business.

Innocent, a company that is perhaps best known for its range of pulped fruit drinks, also produces a range of recipe books and writes a popular blog. These are both ways that the company creates brand awareness through diversification.

A toilet roll company might do the same by authoring a series of short stories or producing a range of toilet cleaning supplies. The idea is to increase awareness about your brand in as many relevant ways as possible.
