Entrepreneurs
J A K E C R O M A N

2. Introduction
Brands help define, establish, and
attract consumers to companies,
often intertwining service with an
image and product. Not only does
the label or product have to be
aesthetically pleasing, but it has to
appeal to your target audience so
that you and your business can
maximize upon profit.

3. As a new entrepreneur, you will learn the various
personalities, behaviors, and buying and
spending patterns of their audiences. In addition,
a truly valuable and versatile product/service
can be used by more than just one niche
demographic. But how do brand a business that
appeals to consumers on a larger scale?
THESE SEVEN TIPS HAVE YOU COVERED:

4. Build Your
Brand’s
Meaning
People care about building
meaning and purpose in their
lifestyles. Your business
should successfully do this
while harnessing its ability to
improve the everyday life of
its users. When it comes to
branding and advertising
your product, make sure you
don’t broadly pursue
everyone, but only those who
will embrace your product on
a regular basis.

5. Branding needs to incorporate a
broader agenda than simply
marketing.
If you manage it in the
right way, you can
emphasize a meaningful
brand’s success by
creating an aura over
your brand; one of
purpose, meaning, and
self-awareness.

6. Create an
Emotionally
Appealing
Story
Nowadays, branding and storytelling
go hand-in-hand. As circular, more
sustainable business models and
consumer demands change how
businesses impact the outer world;
loyal followers want to know how.
Creating an emotional appeal to your
product and how your business is
positively impacting or paying-it-
forward is an essential way to appeal
to consumers, especially Millennials.
Many businesses are creating online
branded content that offers a story
for viewers to see how they’re
product might impact the world on a
bigger scale.

7. For example...
an organic denim company might demonstrate how their
jeans are helping to stabilize the workers in a country
where they source environmentally-friendly material. Not
only does it help create a sense of purpose for the brand,
but it also appeals to the emotional sensibilities of
people, which is the precursor to a more loyal, deeper
connection with your followers.

8. #3
Knowing your demographics will help
lead the direction for the tone and
identity of your marketing campaigns
and the overall brand. Plus, you can
help create an organic connection
with your audiences if you know what
appeals to them. Trying to appeal to
everyone can be counterproductive
for your brand, causing it to become
too inconsistent and diluted.
Know
Your
Audience
Brands need to know their target
markets. And that means keeping up
with current and changing consumer
trends in your niche market, but also
investment fields, and global
economies (wherever you’re product
is sold). Entrepreneurs need to
constantly learn new shifts in
technology and implement that in
their branding and overall business
strategies.

9. Maintain
Consistency
The presentation of your business
needs to be consistent and flawless. If
you want to draw a loyal user base,
then they’re going to want a product
and service they can rely on frequently.
In addition, when consumers come back
to use a business, they want to see the
same quality they did the first time. So
many industries are saturated with
competitors and inconsistent products
and it’s often a major reason why
consumers do business elsewhere. It’s
essential to remain true to your sense of
consistency and customer service. A
good example of this is McDonald’s.
They offer a consistent menu
throughout the world. Someone who
orders a Big Mac whether it’s in
Singapore or New York knows what it’s
going to taste like.

10. Utilize
Multi-
Channel
Platforms
Harvard Business Review reports
that in the future of business relies
heavily on an e-commerce
framework. And since most of the
world is digitally connected — as IoT
(The Internet of Things) will only
continue to prevail in the future —
then multi-channel and omni-present
platforms are the way to go. Your
users need to be able to communicate
with your brand through pictures,
news feeds, videos, and timelines so
they can get an accessible and
overarching sense of the business
brand goals.

11. Solidify Competitive
Prowess
It’s hard to gain an upper hand over the competition in today’s fast-paced
world. Teams need to collaborate well together to survive. Often, brands
need to be on the cutting edge of burgeoning industries which allows them
to gain insight into implementing innovations into their business structure.
The most stable and successful brands are constantly shifting and putting
in the time to offer their consumers the most user-friendly, high-quality
products on the market. In addition, companies need to maintain a sense of
authenticity and transparency that drives trust between the consumer and
the business.

12. Develop Your
Leadership
Skills
#7
Influential leaders need to make their mark on their brands. For
a strategic vision, leaders need to hold direction and empower
their consumers with insights, offerings, and useful tools.
Leaders are constantly learning how to communicate with
others, so it’s essential that you put your best foot forward
when trying to gain expertise in your field. In addition, brand
leaders can help gain visibility to their brand through thought
leadership, social media activity, and continued support and
advice for consumers and those in their field.

13. Develop Your Leadership
Skills Continued
Establishing a thoughtful voice in the
world can help loyal consumers
appreciate and respect your passion
and vision. They may also feel you’re
offering them in-the-know knowledge
from which they can benefit. They need
to be able to resolve complications and
act as a liaison to solve any internal
problems. Whether you’re the CEO of a
large corporation or small business
owner, you have to motivate and
optimize the efforts of your team.

14. These characteristics and approaches can
help companies build growing companies and
models that could help stabilize and benefit
the lives of people in the future. As a rapidly
changing worlds shifts our ideas of what
consumers know and want, we can reshape
and innovate so we can provide a better
world for both our business and the world at
large.
