The power of the brand

“The Law Life blog explains that building a strong property brand takes time, consistency and trust. It recommends knowing your audience, defining your positioning, creating a clear visual identity, using strong imagery, telling a compelling brand story and communicating with emotion. It also highlights authority, customer experience, consistent communication and employee wellbeing as key parts of a memorable property brand.”

I’m a big believer in the power of the brand; it’s part of our philosophy and underpins everything we do at Laws of Life. Building a brand is not something you can do overnight. Your brand is like your reputation; it takes time to prove yourself, to build trust and loyalty. But it is exciting, and there are things you can do to get noticed — following these simple steps will help you on your way to building a successful brand.

1. Know your audience

It’s crucial to identify your target audience and understand what they care about. It sounds obvious, but you need to know exactly who they are and where they spend their time. Undertake consumer research, build customer personas, and understand everything you can about their triggers and motivations.

2. Get your positioning right

Brand positioning is the key to your marketing strategy. Identify and define your point of difference to ascertain the right brand identity and create an appropriate brand image. With a distinctive brand positioning, you will give consumers a clear understanding of your offer. More.

3. Define your identity

The term ‘brand identity’ refers to the visual elements that represent your brand. Logo design is the cornerstone of your identity, but it is only one of the components that makes up your visual identity. Consumers might also identify your brand through a particular colour palette, a recognisable graphic icon or a distinctive photographic style.

4. Project the right image

Imagery is a powerful tool that can really bring your brand to life. When executed well, unique and exciting photography can make things happen. It’s important to get the right image, but if “a picture is worth a thousand words” then photography is an investment worth making.

5. Tell a great story

A great story always grabs the attention and engages people. Your brand story isn’t just what you tell people; it’s a complete picture of everything they believe about you, which means that part of your story is told by others. Crafting a great brand story will enable you to stand out, increase awareness and create brand loyalty.

6. Be emotive

Getting your messaging right is so important for successful brand marketing. We help our clients to communicate on an emotional level, because that’s where decisions are made. Consumers don’t buy what you do; they make decisions based on how you make them feel. Emotion trumps everything else, so be sure to inject some passion into your message.

7. Be authoritative

Position yourself as an authority in your chosen field. A thought leader is a recognised authority, so let people know who’s the expert and deliver your message with confidence and conviction. An authoritative brand has a distinct value proposition and stands out above the competition.

8. Consumer is king

We know it’s a cliché, but it is essential to keep your customers happy – it’s much easier than attracting new ones. Bad news travels fast, so a disappointing experience quickly becomes a bad review. Develop a consumer-centric marketing strategy. Placing the consumer at the centre of everything you do will encourage people to connect and engage with your brand. One case study of a company that did just this is HelloGuest. They manage properties for Airbnb owners and the like. They wanted a brand that shouted what they did and how they were experts at generating, looking after and managing GUESTs for their clients.

9. Be consistent

Every aspect of your communication, from the copy that’s written on your website to the quality of your business card and the people you hire, is building your brand story. Everything you do reflects your brand values, so always maintain a consistent approach. Your consumers should receive the same brand experience when they walk through your doors as they do when they interact with you on social media.

10. Feel good!

When you feel good, your consumers feel good. Not only do you need to deliver a positive customer experience, but everyone on your team needs to feel good about your brand. Employee well-being will help reinforce your brand values, so start by building a culture of health and well-being in the workplace.

Branding is at the heart of everything we do. We write compelling stories and help you to develop a value proposition that will really engage with your target market. If your consumers believe in what you say, then you have their attention — and that’s where the opportunity lies.
