Positioning Your Brand For Greater Success

How To Position Your Brand For Greater Success!

Positioning your brand for greater success comes down to identifying the values you, your business, and your brand hold most closely to your identity, both personally as well as your business. Now identify the customer who also holds those same values. Once you have identified your mutual values, the next step is to position your brand for greater success by incorporating those values into your messaging. The final step is to demonstrate that match to your ideal customer. So how do you do that? With the rising cost of…well, just about everything, social media policies, algorithms, and platforms changing seemingly by the hour and becoming increasingly ineffective, you may be looking for some low-to-no cost ways to advertise and reposition your brand in front of customers who want to buy from you.

Quite frankly, that is a good approach while you are creating your marketing message, building your brand identity, and connecting with your ideal customer in your target market. If this last sentence feels a little confusing, don’t worry we got you covered. We are going to walk you through each step, but before we do we want to emphasize the importance of doing so only with your ideal customer in mind. Not whomever you think you can get, but rather your perfect, ideal customer that you would want to do business with over the long term. That is why we are going to think of them as we do in each of the following steps.

Position Your Brand by Identifying What Your Ideal Customer Values.

We need to take some time and answer two very important questions.

What are their dreams and desires, and what are they for?
What are their fears or concerns, and what are they against?

Using an example of an organic market, let’s ask ourselves these same questions and then we will apply them to our ideal customer. What are our dreams, desires, and what are we for? Our dreams and desires most likely include optimum health and vitality. We might enjoy yoga and daily meditation to help maintain inner peace and centeredness, which also adds tremendous health benefits. We are pro-organic food that comes to us as nature intended and probably use specific foods as medicine as well, when we are not feeling our best. We are also most likely very supportive of local family farms who provide organic and free-range products to local markets.

What are we against and what may be our concerns or fears? We are most likely against the use of toxic pesticides, additives, antibiotics, any artificial flavorings or ingredients, and preservatives in our food supply. We are against inhumane treatment of animals. We are against GMO products (genetically modified organisms). We don’t like scientists tinkering with our DNA or that of the things we eat. We are also against large corporations that squeeze out smaller family farms. What are we afraid of? Cancer diabetes, heart disease, and other deadly diseases caused by pesticides, toxins and other pollutants in our food system and environment.

Our ideal customer base shares these same values and concerns. They are the customers we want to attract. They are the focus of our brand positioning and market messaging. We won’t attract everyone and that is okay. Our goal is to demonstrate that we are congruent with those customers who believe what we believe and because of that, will want to buy from us. Remember, we are attracted to those who are most like us. Our customers buy from us not because of what we offer or the method in which we offer it. They buy from us because they believe in why we do what we do. They want to be associated with those who stand for what they personally stand for and are against what they themselves are against. This applies to any business regardless if you offer physical products and services, or all things digital. If your business is a traditional brick and mortar, solely online, or like most successful businesses any combination of these. We have congruently positioned our brand with that of our ideal customer.

Perhaps you may be looking for some low-to-no cost ways to advertise. Quite frankly, that is a good approach while you are creating your marketing message, building your brand identity, and connecting with your ideal customer in your target market. If this last sentence feels a little confusing, don’t worry we got you covered. To get your products noticed let’s start with three steps.

Step 1. Partner With Influencers to Build Your Customer Base.

Creating strategic partnerships is one of the most effective ways of directly reaching your target audience and establishing brand credibility. As you can see we have linked to some info that gives you more in depth guidance on how you can get get started today.

Step 2. Share Your Content to Build Your Customer Base

As you know, social media is changing almost by the moment and new platforms are poping up. What isn’t changing in the opportunity they provide in helping you get in front of your target market. You DO NOT need to be on every platform. You only need to be on the one your ideal customer is on. If you are not sure which one is right for you and your products let us know in the comments and we will help you out.

Step 3. Use Search Engine Optimization

This tool is more directed at your website. It is equally or perhaps even more effective in getting you in front of people who are looking to buy your products or services. We use a tool called Yoast and it makes thins soooo much easier for us. We are not an affiliate, we just really like their product and we think it might help you sell more of your products from your website.
