We seamlessly adapt to your existing strategy or propose a new, distinctive brand or product strategy. With the following 5 tips, you'll be ready to strengthen your organization with a powerful strategy!
Tip 1
Define your target audience
Based on worldviews
Segmentation is key to effectively reach your target audience. Sharpen your target audience definition and make bold choices. Build personas based on worldviews that reflect the mentality and vision of your potential customers. A worldview represents a collection of attitudes, values, and expectations about the world around us. With this set of information, we shape our thoughts and behaviors. By creating a comprehensive understanding of your target audience, you gain profound insights into their needs, desires, fears, and challenges. This segmentation approach allows you to build a marketing strategy that perfectly aligns with your target audience.
Tip 2
Category entry points (CEP's)
Define your domain
To stand out, you need to know where you stand and where you want to go. Define your domain and identify the category in which you operate. Make it easy for your target audience to recognize the category you belong to. Customers rarely think of a brand on their own; you need to evoke those thoughts. Use cues that trigger the right thoughts, known as category entry points (CEPs).
Tip 3
Solve your target audience's problem
Create clear propositions so that your target audience knows which problems you solve for them and when your product or service does that. By adding value, you enrich your customers' lives. Ideally, your strategy should include the crucial moments when your target audience thinks of you and how you ensure relevance at those moments. Add value at those moments to build a strong bond with your target audience and increase engagement.
Tip 4
Propositions with a brain position
Mental and physical availability
Ensure that your organization, product, or service is prominently present in your customers' minds. Develop a strong brand strategy, define your positioning, and build a brand personality that aligns with your target audience's worldview. Brands exist in the minds of the target audience. Ensure that you are mentally available when the audience needs you. Also, ensure that you are physically present where it matters, so that customers can easily find you and access your products or services. Finally, remove any obstacles through smart marketing and stimuli that enhance the brand experience and exceed your target audience's expectations.
Tip 5
Make a strong promise and prove it
There are more players in your market. That's why it's essential to give your target audience a clear reason to choose you. Formulate a powerful promise that reflects the core values and benefits of your brand. And, most importantly, make sure you deliver on that promise. Show the results and evidence that make your brand promise credible and build trust with your target audience.
