The recipe for building a modern brand relies on several key ingredients. However, there can be no doubt that reaching out to the right audiences is an integral feature.
It may seem like a daunting prospect, especially for a startup. While a structured strategy will be required, the good news is that building it isn’t as hard as many fear. Focus on the six simple steps below and you won’t go far wrong.
This is a contributed post. Please refer to my disclosure for more information.
Master Your Packaging
Before a customer uses a product, they will interact with the packaging. If your business is a winery, for example, you can design and order wine labels that help your brand stand out from the crowd. Meanwhile, eco-friendly brands can focus on using greener packaging materials. This could mean using wooden boxes and corrugated cardboard for wine bottles.
In truth, though, companies across all sectors can benefit from revamped packaging choices.
Utilize SEO
Digital marketing is now essential for all modern businesses. Your brand will need to find the PPC, social media ads, and other campaigns that deliver positive ROIs. However, virtually all companies will benefit from a strong search engine optimization strategy. This means your site will appear at the top of relevant Google searches, thus gaining you a lot of traffic.
Crucially, the clicks come from people actively looking to buy. So, sales figures should soar.
Know Your Audience
When marketing your business, it’s important to build a sense of connection with your audience. If the brand does not resonate with them, they will not want to purchase the products. Once equipped with clear insights into your demographic, it’ll be easier to find the right trade shows and know where to place ads. The tone of your brand will change too.
If nothing else, you’ll be ready to act with far greater confidence.
Know Your USPs
As well as knowing your audience, you need to know your company and what makes it stand out. This will go a long way to helping you resonate with your target market. Whether it’s celebrating your company’s commitment to going green or providing affordable products doesn’t matter. Anything that will make your target audience love the brand is perfect.
In addition to building your authentic voice, it’ll help your brand stay consistent.
Use Target Marketing Tools
Rather than focus on reaching the largest possible audience, you should focus on reaching the most people in your target market. Thankfully, there are many tools that make this easy. Using target marketing tools on social media will ensure that your ads focus on users who meet your specifications. This could be based on age, location, gender, or more.
Tracking data points will provide even greater clarity about who those people are.
Embrace Existing Customers
When reaching out to new customers, it’s likely that they will be people who are similar to your existing clients. So, why not take advantage of this? An affiliate scheme or referral program will encourage happy customers to bring new people through the door. They know the people who would love your products and the USPs that would make them tick.
In many cases, it encourages the original customer to make further purchases, too.
