BE DIFFERENT: THE EQUATION TO CREATE A KILLER BRAND
Hey guys Promise here!!
As the owner of a web design company, I not only get to help people launch what they love on a daily basis, but I get to see and experience a lot of different brands.
The most successful? The brands that are DIFFERENT!
They stand out and attract attention because of how unique they are. To have a brand that makes a splash in this digital age you can’t just copy your competition and plan to one-up them in some way. Instead you have to be different by offering something that no one else is offering to a targeted specific group of people.
You might be thinking, “How am I supposed to come up with something that no one else is offering?” Well, this may sound geeky, but it’s something that I actually really LOVE to think and brainstorm about. My personality thrives on being unique and so I get a kick out of helping others think outside the box. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, you just have to put a new spin on it.
I’m in the process of doing a LIVE four-week experiment with Jasmine Star and last week we dissected 3 businesses that were doing all of this really well. Something that I noticed was that the differentiating factor in each of these three business models stemmed from either the Founder’s passion, hobby, strength, or style. I’ve been playing around with this simple equation that can kick off a killer brainstorming session for creating a brand that’s DIFFERENT.
Your expertise (product or service) + your secret sauce (passion, hobby, strength, style, demographic, timeframe or a way to give back) + demand in the market place = a stand out brand
You’ll need to come up with several different lists, and then mix and match because some of them obviously won’t work…but over all this proves to be an effective brainstorming tool.
