You created a product to solve a personal problem, or because you noticed a gap in the market for your delicious product. But did you start off thinking about creating a brand? It’s unlikely. If you listened to last week's episode, which was part 1 of my 2 part series on brand-building strategies, you would've heard that 99% of Foodpreneurs don't succeed because they fail to create a brand. Creating a brand, powered by strategic planning, thinking and implementation will help you succeed where others don't; and you need to be adaptable, organised and action-orientated to be part of the 1% that succeed and get to live life in their terms. But even if you haven't been focussing on (or even thought about) building a brand around your product, it's not too late. Grab your pens and hit play because I'll delve deeper into the final 6 of my 11 crucial strategies to building a brand that, if implemented, will change your business forever, including: 🧡 Having a deep understanding of your customer. 🧡 Developing your unique messaging and visual identity. 🧡 Having consistency across your consumer touchpoints. 🧡 Ensuring your customers are happy. 🧡 Having a clear purpose within a consumer’s life where your product fits. 🧡 Being easy to buy from. And if you haven't listened to part 1 of this 2 part series, hit pause and listen to that first!
