The successful marketing of consumer brands involves a combination of insightful, data-driven strategies and techniques developed to provide compelling and relevant messages to the right people at the right time through the right channels. Here are the steps we follow at Imaginuity to develop impactful, results-driven consumer brands marketing.
Understanding Your Target Audience
We start by conducting or, if you have it, reviewing thorough market research to understand the demographics, preferences, and behaviors of your current customers and those you want to reach. These customer and “look-alike” profile insights are vital for tailoring meaningful messaging and campaigns that resonate.
Develop a Unique Value Proposition (UVP)
Once you have a good customer understanding you need to clearly articulate what sets your brand apart from competitors. Our brand strategy team has decades of experience developing breakthrough and differentiated value propositions and positionings for consumer branding that highlight the unique benefits and advantages customers can gain from choosing your product or service.
Create Compelling Branding
From the positioning, our creative experts establish a strong brand identity that can include a memorable logo, color scheme, and consistent visual elements to be used across all marketing materials. This helps build consumer brands marketing recognition and trust.
Leverage Content Marketing
Every brand has a story to tell. The challenge is that consumers are looking for information across the web on a variety of platforms, so you need to be everywhere. To address this challenge, our content marketing teams produce high-quality, relevant content that provides value to your audience wherever they are online. Content types can include blog posts, videos, infographics, and more. Content helps consumer brands establish authority and drive organic traffic.
Utilize Social Media
While social media platforms come and go, the big players are still the big players. However, each caters to a different audience. Identify the social media platforms that are most popular with your target audience and create a strong presence there. Engage with your followers, listen to conversations, share relevant content, and use social media advertising to reach a wider audience than organic efforts alone.
Invest in Influencer Marketing
Many people have a love / hate relationship with influencer marketing. However, finding the right influencers with a highly engaged following can make a difference in the right situation. If the opportunity is right for your consumer brand, we develop plans to research and identify the influencers who have a strong following in your niche. These people can help promote your products or services to their audience, providing a level of trust and authenticity. While a relatively new tactic, influencer marketing can play a strong role in the success of consumer brands marketing.
Optimize for Search Engines (SEO)
When people are looking for information on or availability of just about any product or service, the place they start is search, especially for consumer brands. Our SEO team can ensure your business shows up by optimizing your website and content for search engines. This involves using relevant keywords, creating high-quality content regularly, and improving the user experience on your site.
Utilize Email Marketing
Email provides a direct line of communication between your business and its audience. When someone signs up for your email list, they're expressing interest in your brand, making them a more receptive audience. Imaginuity can help you build and nurture a list of subscribers who are interested in your brand. Our strategies focused on personalized, relevant emails and newsletters to keep your customers engaged and informed about your products, promotions, and updates.
Provide Exceptional Customer Service
Customer expectations are rapidly increasing as technology makes finding information and making purchases easier. Consumer brands need to make sure they are delivering outstanding customer service at every touchpoint to keep up with customers and the competition. Happy, satisfied customers are more likely to become loyal brand advocates and refer others to your brand. At Imaginuity we think about your business across channels ensuring a positive end-to-end customer experience.
Monitor and Analyze Data
With every click, download, view, like and share all generating data, there is no shortage of information available to analyze consumer brands marketing performance. They key is understanding what data to monitor and analyze. We use tools like Google Analytics, social media insights and CRM data to track the performance of your marketing efforts and key performance indicators. We constant look for what works and what doesn't and adjust your strategies accordingly.
Encourage User-Generated Content (UGC)
UGC provides value for consumer brands marketing in that it is created by actual users and customers providing an authentic perspective on a brand and its products and services. We can help develop programs that encourage your customers to share their experiences with your brand through reviews, testimonials, and social media posts.
Stay Consistent and Authentic
For consumer brands marketing success, maintaining consistency and authenticity across channels is crucial for success. Consistency builds trust, reinforces brand identity, and avoids confusion. Authenticity also drives trust and builds deeper connections. Through a thorough understanding of your business and value proposition, we can help you create a consistent, authentic presence across all touchpoints.
Adapt to Trends and Changes
Our marketing strategists always keep an eye on industry trends, technological advancements, and shifts in consumer behavior. Their insights can help your consumer brand identify opportunities for growth or expansion leading to sustained competitive advantage.
Measure ROI and Set Goals
As the saying goes, “If you don’t know where you are headed, any road will get you there”. We help you establish goals, define clear objectives for your marketing campaigns and track the return on investment (ROI). This will help us assess the effectiveness of your efforts and make better data-driven decisions.
