Grow Your Customer Base with Brand Positioning

When someone mentions McDonald’s, the image of a Big Mac may immediately pop into your mind. As a result of brand positioning, the core images and messages of the world’s most valuable brands break through the competitive clutter to win customers. Branding, however, is not just for corporate giants. At Fat Guy Media, we can transform your company into an identifiable brand in your industry or neighborhood.

What is branding?

The American Marketing Association defines a brand as, “A name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller’s good or service as distinct from those of other sellers.” Three examples of the world’s most valuable brands are Apple, Pepsi and McDonald’s. Identifiable brands are created over time through the advertising process of branding. Entrepreneur Magazine defines branding as, “The marketing practice of creating a name, symbol or design that identifies and differentiates a product from other products.” The goal of branding is to differentiate the product or company in the marketplace to attract and retain loyal customers. brand positioning

How Brand Positioning Can Attract and Retain Customers

Major companies invest heavily in branding today, because it offers a competitive edge. Successful companies use brand positioning to differentiate themselves from their competitors. An effective branding campaign informs potential customers about what to expect from your products and services. Brand positioning can create an image in a customer’s mind. It gives customers an idea of what to expect from your company, product or service. By differentiating your brand from the competition, your company can gain new customers and earn repeat business. With a combination of inbound marketing strategies, branding can create consistency through every aspect of your company’s Internet presence. Consistency is key to developing brand recognition because the more frequently people see your brand, the more likely they are to remember it.

“Anybody can start a company, but a brand can’t be started overnight. Branding is when you turn a business or a project into a living, breathing thing; something that provokes feeling,” said Johnny Earle, the CEO and founder of Johnny Cupcakes, an experience-based, retro bakery-themed national T-shirt shop.
