Fun Friday

There are exactly 8 words related to Business Branding in this puzzle, can you find it?

You never know, winners gets a prize

Price is powerful. but it is not the whole game.

The brands customers keep coming back without being asked, the ones they defend in conversations they didn't start , didn't win on price alone

They won on feeling.

And that feeling didn't happen by accident. It was built intentionally, through every touchpoint, every interaction, every experience.

That is emotional territory and it is the most valuable real estate your brand can own.

Most small businesses try to compete with Big Brand on budget but fail to realise it's not the only way to build a brand people trust.

When it comes to gaining market share, one of the greatest advantage a small business has is that it can compete on experience

That feeling travels

It turns one customer into ten, ten into a hundred. a hundred into thousands, and it costs nothing but intentionality.

This is how small Business Brands can gradually gain market share

Most Business owners never pay attention to their mission

They focus so much on the product until market changes grounds them

Your product can be copied but a brand built with a mission elastic enough to grow, pivot when needed is what gives the edge

Helping businesses understand their true mission is one of the things we do at brandingschool.ng

Send us a message if you need clarity on how to position rightly with an elastic mission

Branding is the game of building trust and multiplying trust. If trust is not being built, reinforced and multiplied, then your investment in branding is a waste.

Therefore we can say you should forget about branding and just focus on building trust and increasing it, and at the end of the day, everything you do to achieve that can still be called a branding move.

So, these are the five things you must always have at the tip of your fingers in conversations, presentations, gatherings and even on your social and web platforms?

Anywhere you have interactions with your target audience, be in via print media, digital media, one-to-one interactions, these five things must be handy if you want to quickly gain the trust of people.

The question is, 'Do you satisfy all the five requirements right now?'

Four things to regularly pay attention to while building a brand:

1⃣ The problem: Your brand is only as relevant as the tangible problem the business is solving. No matter how sweet your communication is, if it can't clearly paint the picture of the problem the business solves, it will fail. So, you can never over-ask the question of 'What problem are we solving?'

2⃣ Proud moments: Your proud moments are those moments when you see your mission being fulfilled in the lives of your target customers or clients. Those moments when they come back with gratitude for the transformation you've caused for them. You always need these moments to validate your mission.

3⃣ Not-so-good moments: These are periods of uncomfortable truths. These are periods when you face the truths about areas you still have work to do. Taking time to ponder on them would reveal to you what to do to arrest such events from reoccurring.

4⃣ Industry trends: Never be so busy attending to customers/clients that you have no time set apart or a routine of unplugging yourself to see the bigger playing field. Always stay close to where recent conversations are happening around your industry. Your brand needs you to be abreast with these things.

Now, even if you can't do all this weekend, plan to do at least two out of the four. Do have a beautiful weekend ahead.

The hallmark of building a solid brand is that you've made it easier for those who don't need your kind of value to know they don't need it.

The more difficult it is for people to ascertain whether they need you or not, the more difficult it will be for you to make a single sale.

Why? Anytime people aren't clear about something, the default response they give is 'NO'. The several NO's you've, been getting may be as a result of your confusing marketing communications.
