The 8 ways to improve your brand’s appeal in 2020
(1) Focus on your website
Your website is where your customers are looking for information, content and value.
A website is your publishing engine and conversion funnel system. It’s where a significant amount of leads come from and people visit, to see if you’re the right solution for them.
It’s, therefore, important to dedicate time and effort to revamp your website’s:
By focusing on improving your website’s content, your customers will love it and so will Google from a website SEO perspective too!
(2) Bigger, better content
They want blogs to learn, eBooks to read, videos for entertainment and podcasts to listen to on the go. Content Marketing is still a rapidly growing area and the demand for content is only increasing.
Will you meet your customers’ needs? Or let your competitors do it?
Remember – fresh new content opens up opportunities to build brand awareness and trust.
So, put quality content creation on your plan in 2021 to increase your brand’s appeal.
(3) Revisit your Marketing Plan
Now’s the perfect time to have a look through them and see if your brand is still on track. Does your direction still answer your vision and mission? Is it achieving those objectives?
This will help unite your activities in the new year with your Marketing Plan and keep your strategies aligned for the year ahead.
(4) Up the creativity!
A brand can get such a powerful reinvigoration when the brand guidelines get reinvented and your branding style guide gets some much-needed attention.
Again, it’s not necessarily a rebrand – but perhaps try adding some fresh new images, a new execution, a wider colour pallet or a more modern look and feel.
It may be as simple as anew slogan or a new tagline that keeps true to the brand, but still gives it a touch of new to pique people’s interest.
(5) Ask yourself: why not?
A great idea is to challenge the current status-quo. Sure, there are some things you can’t change and non-viable options, but what if you said: “why not?” to more things this year?
Give something new a go in 2021. Perhaps your brand could try Augmented Reality, adopt more AI Marketing or try interactive content?
What about Voice Search Content?
Don’t just shut things down. Your audience is embracing new approaches to marketing – your brand should too.
Customers and clients adopt innovation faster than brands can keep up. So, this year, say: “why not?” instead of a default “no.”
Your audience is embracing new approaches to marketing – your brand should too.
(6) Check the customer data
Try conducting a bit of research and data analysis to reassess your knowledge and not simply rely on assumptions.
From simple internet research and speaking with your Sales and Customer Service teams, all the way to Marketing Analysis, it will be worth the time and effort to keep your brand on track and appealing to the right target audience – simply because you understand them much better.
(7) Refine and develop your brand’s voice
In response, we re-evaluated the core brand identity and then evolved their brand’s voice across their website and all of their marketing. Suddenly, they were different again – in a good way.
Is it time your brand got a personality upgrade? It shouldn’t be a complete overhaul that will confuse people – but enough to create intrigue.
Most organisations know their brand, but just don’t know how to communicate them.
So take the time to redefine your voice and evolve to speak in a relatable way to your customers this year.
(8) Launch a new campaign
This campaign can present a unique new angle from your brand that can refresh your image across platforms and increase your brand’s allure.
