One bite of the apple

Most marketing professionals would recommend the following steps for creating your marketing and brand strategy:

  1. Service/product definition :
    For example: you create exclusive silk scarves.
  2. Market description:
    For example: your ideal client is more influenced by Sarah Burton than Vivienne Westwood.
  3. Market needs analysis:
    For example: your exclusive handmade silk scarves are the finishing touch to your clients’ designer clothes collection.
  4. Competitive analysis:
    For example: try Googling “exclusive silk scarves” and see how your competitors sell their products.
  5. Positioning.
    For example: What is unique about your silk scarves? Why should your potential clients buy from you rather a chain store?

Once you have completed this process, you have a sound foundation to build a strong brand that truly reflects you, your business and your services.

The next post will look at identifying the unique voice for your brand.
