Brand building

Branding is the process of creating a visual identity for your company or product. The brand represents the values and personality of your business. If you’re just starting out, it can feel like an enormous task to build a brand from scratch. You might be wondering how you can get your business noticed in the cut-throat world of online shopping and brick-and-mortar stores. But there are plenty of simple ways to build your brand that don’t cost a fortune. From unique logo designs to creating memorable catchphrases, here are some tips for building your brand from scratch.

Create a unique and recognisable logo

A logo should convey the message of the product, and it should also be easily recognisable. A good logo will be a reflection of your product, and it will be able to stand on its own without any additional copy or text. There are many logo design tools available, from simple templates to more feature-rich platforms. If you have a specific design in mind, you can also hire a graphic designer to create it for you. Keep in mind that logo design services can get quite expensive, but you may be able to find an inexpensive logo design service that can deliver quality results. If you’re looking for free logo design services, you can try searching online to see if you can find any reputable logo design contests. Logo design contests are often hosted by startups and small businesses that don’t have the budget to hire a graphic designer.

Here is some example logo designer websites:

My own logo was  created with the help of a free logo design tool. But after downloading it I had modified it myself with image editing software. But as you can see, they generate pretty good logo ideas by themselves.

Develop a brand voice

The brand voice is the personality of your brand. You can use the brand voice to help create a strong connection with your customers. The best way to develop a brand voice is to use some creativity. Write down some ideas on what you think your brand is all about. Brainstorm as many ideas as you can, and try to write them down in a way that is engaging and easy to read. You can use these notes to create a brand voice that resonates with your customers. As you develop your brand voice, you’ll begin to notice common themes. You’ll start to see certain words or phrases popping up again and again. These are the words that best represent your brand. Make a note of these, and use them to create a consistent brand voice for your company.

Host an event to build your brand and reach new customers

Using event marketing to create brand awareness and increase brand recognition is a smart way to get your name out there. Start by researching events happening in your city or industry. Look for events that aren’t too costly to attend. You want to make sure that the investment is worth it in the long run. Once you’ve found an event to host, create an online marketing campaign to promote it. You can create a landing page on your website, or you can use a tool like Facebook to create an event. Make sure that the event is well-planned and you know what your end goal is. What are you hoping to achieve by hosting this event? Who are you trying to reach? How will hosting this event help your business grow? These are all important questions to consider when hosting an event. The event should be tailored to your ideal client. This will help you reach new customers and help you build your brand in the process. 

Produce quality content with a video ad campaign

Video marketing is a great way to build your brand. Create a series of short videos that highlight the benefits of your product. If you have a physical store, you can also create video content that features the store and staff. You can distribute the videos to various video networks. You can also partner with video networks and exchanges that let you pay for ad space with a video rather than cash. You can also create a series of banner ads and display them on various websites. These can be simple images or videos. Another option is to create sponsored posts. Sponsor posts are a great way to build your brand by creating high-quality content that is related to your industry. This content will help your brand become more visible, while also providing value to your customers.

Build an email subscriber list

Email marketing is a great way to connect with your customers and build your brand. Start by creating a sign-up form that can be placed on your website. Ask your customers to sign up to receive updates about new products or sales. You can also create a series of emails that are sent out periodically. This can be as often as once a week or once a month depending on your business. You can also partner with other brands and send out an email to your customers letting them know about the partnership. This can be a great way to build relationships with other businesses in your industry. You can also take a more ambitious approach by hosting an email marketing contest. Create a prize for the person who signs up for your email list, and you’ll be able to connect with many new customers at once.

What is marketing?

What does it mean?

Marketing is a tool to sell stuff. As a tool, you can use it good or wrong. The way you use it will make a difference for your business. So if you have a product or service, marketing will help you sell it. Marketing has all kinds of fields, but the main thing is that you should know what you are selling, and answer these questions:

Who will buy it and why? What is the reasonable price in exchange for it? What are the competitors do? Where will they buy it? Why will the customers repurchase it?

How can you reach your potential customers? Where can you ask them about your product? Was it profitable for you?

Digital marketing

Like many things, marketing has evolved and changed in the last 20 years, thanks to the digital online revolution. Of course, the basics do not change, but nowadays we can reach the potential customers many many ways not only on TV, radio or in newspapers.

We will discuss it later, but first, we answer the above questions, and you might have an idea…:)

So how will marketing help you?

Who will buy your product? Marketing research is about getting to know your customers. What age group is your average buyer belong to? Where do they live? Why do they need your product? Why is it better than others?

Woow wait! These are not answers but more questions to figure out.

Now you understand:). Marketing is, in my opinion, to have the right questions, understand all aspects of it, and then answer it. You might have more answers, and hopefully, you will test many different solutions before you find it out, so you will have a lot of experience along the road:).

We will discuss the potential answers to those questions focusing on small companies and digital solutions in the following posts. I plan to write posts about exact digital marketing strategies for restaurants, webshops, and many more. I also would like to give you some additional questions: what kind of data should a small company use and measure to optimize their digital marketing?
