Practical Principles Of Product Branding Strategies

By Stacey Burt


Today's business world is very competitive and only allows those who take steps to stay ahead of the competition to survive. Good product branding strategies enable a business to stay ahead of others in the competition. The term "product branding" usually describes what is produced or service the company wants to communicate and for whom this communication is intended. It also considers when this communication is supposed to get to the target of communication and how this is supposed to be done.

Consistency is important in every aspect of life, including the business life. When the communication structure of a product is consistent, it is easier for customers to identify. Employees of the business also become familiar with the objectives of the brand if they see consistent information over a long time frame. This makes them better understand their role in projecting the brand strategy.

The brand communication being sent should also be one that customers can connect to emotionally. No matter the type of product offered by a business, there is always a message that can be appealing to the customers' feelings. It has been proven that most people choose one service brand over another based on their feelings. The message should make the customers feel a part of and identify with the brand. This is a very important strategy for staying ahead of the competition.

Customers should be treated as brand ambassadors and appreciated as such. This is because customers recommend goods they love to their friends and family. It is important to thank them for this added role by calling them to thank them or sending them thank-you messages. A little gift to these customers would go a long way in giving them a good impression of the company. These gifts can come in the form of discounts on their expenditure on the business's products or branded gifts.

Helping customers with extra services that they do not have to pay for is also a great principle to consider in product branding. A brand is not just the company logo or the catchy name; it is customers that make a brand. The branding strategy, if blended well with the mission statement of the business helps because this statement is usually customer oriented. A retail shop selling electronic equipment, for example, can make customers happy by providing a customer care line that is tollfree.

The fact that a branding strategy was well planned before rolling out does not mean it will work. Measurements should be taken of the various marketing metrics to know if the strategies are working or not. These metrics should be measured before the implementation of the strategy, as well as periodically after implementation to see how effective they have been. This would alert the business to any progress being made and whether it is time to re-strategize.

A branding strategy does not have to be rigid and followed strictly. There should be allowances for flexibility. As trends change, the strategy should be capable of changing with them without the need to go back to the drawing board. One marketing message, for instance, can be interpreted in many different ways to suit different audience groups.

It is also important to keep competing brands in sight while developing branding strategies. The business and its competitors are all after the same customers, so watching what competitors are doing differently can help the business strategize better. In spite of this, a business should not blindly copy whatever the competitors do.
