In a world where the access to resource platforms that allow us to tell our own stories and even the stories of others is easily available – the true message of one’s brand and what it considers its true identity can potentially get lost or be misinterpreted. A business’ desire to be perceived a certain way is not always fulfilled when it comes to the customer’s opinion of the brand.
To be painfully honest despite an organisations marketing efforts, consumers still have the inherit ability to decide how they see a brand or feel about that brand and its products. Fortunately, however, this decision can be influenced by strategic marketing with a clear identification of what an organisation wants their brand positioning to be.
Brand positioning is simply defined as what the organisation wants the consumer’s thoughts to be about their brand when they come across it, whether in conversation or on the market. These thoughts or ideas about your brand in a consumers mind is mostly based on what you as a business say and do – and partly has to do with a consumers brand preference. Because it is largely based on who an organisation says they are, organisations should pay special attention to the very last detail that consumers could possibly read into. This includes factors ranging from the actual product/service (and if it works the way the brand owners say it does) to your business name, tag line, the quality of your logo, website design, business cards, adverts and various multimedia.
At Jthoka & Co we put ourselves in the position of the consumer to determine what we think of your brand at first glance and from there help shape it to the desired brand positioning.
