II. EXAMPLES AND DISCUSSION

Brand Name is a name, symbol, or other feature that distinguishes a seller's goods or services in the
marketplace. Your brand is one of your greatest assets because your brand is your customers' over-all experience of
your business. Brand strategy is a long-term design for the development of a popular brand in order to achieve the
goals and objectives. A well-defined brand strategy shakes all parts of a business and is directly linked to customer
needs, wants, emotions, and competitive surroundings

 Experts believe that a good brand can result in better loyalty for its customers, a better corporate image and a
more relevant identity.

As more customers continue to differentiate between emotional and experienced companies, a brand may be the first
step forward in your competition instead of price points and product features. The question is, can you build a brand
which truly talks to your audience?

Branding is a powerful and sustainable high-level marketing strategy used to create or influence a brand. Branding as
a strategy to distinguish products and companies and to build economic value to both customers and to brand owners,
are described by Pickton and Broderick in 2001.

Commonly Used Branding Strategy


1) Purpose
"Every brand makes a promise. But in a market in which customer confidence is little and budgetary observance is
great, it’s not just making a promise that separates one brand from another, but having a significant purpose," (Allen
Adamson).
How can you define your business' purpose? According to Business Strategy Insider, purpose can be viewed in two
ways:
a. Functional. This way focuses on the assessments of success in terms of fast and profitable reasons. For
example the purpose of the business is to make money.
b. Intentional. This way focuses on fulfillment as it relates to the capability to generate money and do well in the
world.

2) Consistency
The significant of consistency is to avoid things that don’t relate to or improve your brand. Consistency aids to brand
recognition, which fuels customer loyalty.

3) Emotion
- There should be an emotional voice, whispering "Buy me". This means you allow the customers have chance to feel
that they are part of your brand.
- You should find ways to connect more deeply and emotionally with your customers. Make them feel part of the
family and use emotion to build relationships and promote brand loyalty.

4) Flexibility
Marketers should remain flexible to in this rapidly changing world. Consistency targets at setting the standard for
your brand, flexibility allows you to adjust and differentiate your approach from your competition.

According to Kevin Budelmann, "Effective identity programs require sufficient consistency to be identifiable, but
sufficient variation to keep things fresh and human" so if your old tactics don't work anymore, don't be afraid to
change. It doesn’t mean it worked in the past it may still work now.

5) Employee Involvement
It is equally important for your employees to be well versed in how they communicate with customers and represent
the brand of your product

6) Loyalty
Loyalty is an important part of brand strategy. At the end of the day, the emphasis on a positive relationship between
you and your existing customers sets the tone for what potential customers can expect from doing business with you.

7) Competitive Awareness
Do not be frightened of competition. Take it as a challenge to improve your branding strategy and craft a better value
in your brand.
