<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinalising the Product<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Before you can even start marketing your brand, you first must establish exactly what your product is. You should ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- What exactly are your promising to your audience if they invest<\/a> in your product?<\/li>
- What is the main ethos surrounding this product?<\/li>
- How is your brand unique from other products on the market?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you feel like you can\u2019t answer these questions simply and succinctly, perhaps time should be invested on product-development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imaging and Messaging<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Once the product has been finalised, you can then start to build some of the initial branding. This includes (but is not limited to):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Name. <\/strong>This should be memorable and easy to search.<\/li>
- Logo.<\/strong> Again, this is something that is memorable and eye-catching. Try to avoid using colours or images that are associated with other brands. <\/li>
- Website.<\/strong> Make sure the site is fast and responsive before it\u2019s launched to the public. Poor page response can affect conversion rates.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
While it\u2019s possible to do A\/B Testing on some of these assets, it\u2019s important to remember not to change your name or logo too many times so as not to confuse your customers. Consistency is key. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- Always make sure the product can speak for itself.<\/em> You can have a tight marketing strategy, but it will be close to useless if the product can\u2019t hold up. <\/li>
- Try to tell a story with your branding.<\/em> Creating a narrative that customers can place themselves in helps to generate interest in your product. <\/li>
- Keep your branding consistent. <\/em>Establish a strict colour scheme and font usage<\/a>. If customers saw your logo from a distance would it be easily recognisable?<\/li>
- Build a brand that is accessible<\/em>. Use language that is easily understood by your target demographic. Try to avoid flashing graphics or hard-to-read text that could make your website inaccessible to potential customers. <\/li>
- Highlight why your brand is different from other brands. <\/em>It\u2019s okay to use other companies to help your customers familiarise themselves with your product. But remember, you\u2019re trying to convince people to choose your brand, not remind them why they like a different one. <\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
