First things first…..
What makes your business different from your competitor? This is called Unique Value Proposition (UVP). Identifying your UVP will further help create a marketing plan that is unique to your business and sure to captivate prospects.
Important: Note Logos (fonts, formats, colors)
Understanding this concept will require you to truly know the ins and outs of your brand and what is driving new business. This can be done with a survey to your target audience.
By capturing the uniqueness of your brand, your business can thrive when it comes to being unique (branding) and building brand awareness.
Brand Awareness is releasing all things about your brand to the public, in a way that is different from your competitors. Beyond the process of what we do, is the process of how we do it. We must understand that branding is not about what we do, but how we do what we do.
For example: Chipotle is known for their food packaging and low carbon footprint. Having small aspects of your business that others don’t have will help build the uniqueness and demand of your brand.
Answering these questions is a great start to separating your brand from your competitors.
- What is your brand tone of voice?
- Which target audience is interested in your brand?
- Does your logo represent the best version of your brand?
