Understanding how customers view your brand is extremely important to the livelihood of your business. Your messaging needs to align with your brand, but also be clear and consistent. Consistent brand messaging that reflects a brand’s values and speaks to its audience is essential to creating a brand that customers can connect with on an emotional level, which is a core ingredient in building brand loyalty. You also want your brand to stand out in the minds of your customers with unique brand positioning. Research America recommends and executes distinctive methodologies to recognize customer perceptions of your brand and its messaging even before going to market , saving your business time and money.

At Research America, we understand that having a clear and authentic brand relationship with your audience is the best way to build trust and loyalty. Finding ways to convey what the core of your brand is all about will help lay the foundation for your customers and give the brand a structure to build upon. Be transparent! Let those who appreciate your brand know what you stand for and what the company is actually about. It’s not enough for your customers to invest in you, but for you to invest in them.

It’s important that your brand carries a “tone of voice” in its messaging, and that the brand sounds the way it is intended to. If your brand promotes a serious service like healthcare, it might not come across the right way to the audience if it is promoted in a humorous and lighthearted way, and vice-versa for a brand that is promoting their newest toy.

This also goes hand in hand with your target audience. Identifying and promoting towards your target audience is an important step in appropriately messaging your brand. While it would be ideal to promote your brand to everyone, it is unrealistic to believe that individuals from every demographic are going to be interested in the product or service your brand is offering. Understanding your target audience and messaging your brand to suit their wants and needs is ideal for both them and the business.

Thinking about your brand positioning is also critical to the brand messaging process. Your brand is more than a logo or a tagline. It’s also how customers perceive your quality, price, value and more in relation to your competitors. Ideally you want to capture what your customers want with what your brand does best in your brand positioning. That way you will be sharing a unique point of difference in the market with a value proposition only you can provide in your messaging and advertising.

Tracking what people think about your brand and looking into the data will help give you a better understanding of your public perception. This will help tell you if something needs to change within your brand messaging. More often than not, brands that are transparent with their audience tend to have the best overall relationships with them. This is because people want to do business with a brand that offers quality products or services and aligns with their core beliefs. Understanding your target audience and having a genuine connection with them is the most effective way to earn a positive response from them.
