Do People Dream Of Your Products?

In order for your small business to success, stay in the market for a long period of time and acquire customers' loyalty it must be built and operate as a brand, people tend to trust brands, great quality brands become people default purchasing option, this is why people get used to go back to their last brand and keeping buying over and over again, if the brand makes them happy then why should they change? this is why you must shift your business strategy from product or service oriented to a brand oriented, find your own unique audience, match their personality, fulfill their desires and deliver value high value until they become your loyal customers.

It All Begins With An Idea!

All brands begin with a unique and valuable idea, the idea must have a meaning and a purpose which is called a vision and a mission, this idea should be targeted to a specific segment of audience, if you try to serve everyone you may end up serving no one ;) give your idea a life and character through brand personality to differentiate your-self from the rest of the competition, you also have to dress up your brand and become visually appealing, once your idea is clear and attractive then you must communicate it with your audience clearly.

Stay Away From The Competition

That's right, stay away from price competition, as Paypal cofounder Peter Thiel said "competition is for losers" it will damage your business and might get you out of the business too soon, instead great brands focus on being a monopoly for a small target of audience then slowly grow and expand for a larger market, focus on long term strategy, increase your brand value, provide great products quality, customers service and serve your loyal customers

Understand Your Customers' Experience Process

Many businesses lack the knowledge of developing and promoting their services to their customers for the following reasons: first and the most important is lack in knowledge of how customers interacts with a new brand or products, they rush to sell and advertise their products and ends up with a huge disappointment where no one is buying, the second reason is lack of patience, they try to push customers to buy their products instead of introducing slowly to the market, if you are already a big brand or a superstar then there is no reason for you to keep reading this part, you got all the people in the world behind your back, but if you are a new business owner then you got to understand the process that your audience go through with your brand and learn what to do at every step of this process, it's not a good idea to talk when you are supposed to listen!

Who Are Your Audience?

Have you asked yourself who is your target audience, who are you trying to help, solve a problem for or provide a service, what is their culture, lifestyle, desires and needs, in order for a brand to success it should be designed to fit and satisfy a specific target audience, yet most of small businesses tend to ignore this fact or lack the knowledge and understanding of how to define their target audience, always remember that different people have different needs, you just can't treat all people in the same way, once you select your target audience find their needs then satisfy it with a strong unique selling proposition.
