Economic Approach

The economic approach consists of marketing mix parameters (4 P’s of marketing that consist of product, price, place, promotion) which play a pivotal role in building a brand development strategy.

Identity Approach

In the identity approach, the brand is associated with corporate identity. The desired identity leads us to take action for the brand, that is, purchase.

Consumer-Based Approach

In a consumer-based approach, the brand is attached to consumer associations—monitoring customers of how they act to offer an environment and products for their needs.

Personality Approach

In the personality approach, the brand is linked to a human-like character. This model is seen in movies, music videos and sports events, etc., to entice customers to buy products.

Relational Approach

In a relational approach, the brand is like a practical relationship partner. Companies use a mutual relationship between a customer and a brand to create a feeling of companionship.

Cultural Approach

In Cultural Approach, the brand is considered as a part of the broader cultural context. This approach includes the aspect of cultural consumption. It foretells what might be coming in the future, how the world is changing, and how the trends impact customers.

What Is Brand Development?

Brand development is the continuous process of maintaining the customer trust of your brand. This trust results from successfully creating and distinguishing your company’s image, products, and services from your competitors.

In other words, it is your tool for maintaining consistency in terms of quality, trust, and value that customers find in your company.

What Are the Steps Involved in the Brand Development Process?

The entire process consists of the following steps:

Determining What You Are Branding

Typically when we talk about branding, we think about products and services (normally the case). Still, it is good to remember that almost everything can be branded, even a person or the company itself.

Anyway, Before anything else, you have to know precisely what you want to do the branding for, your desired position, what you are promising with the brand, and what story you want to tell your target market.

With the help of an expert marketing agency, you can find the answers to the above questions.

Researching Your Target Market

Many startups think that they know who their target market is but in actuality, they don’t.

Therefore, professional market research is required to understand who your target market is, their likes and dislikes, what challenges they face, and how you can help them overcome those challenges.

Coming up with Your Brand Identity

Every brand has to have an identity. In other words, you have to have a good answer(s) to the question, what can my brand offer or stand for that other brands don’t?

In this step, you have to define what you are offering and how your target market can benefit from it.

Creating a Name, Tagline, and Logo

At this step, you might be already excited that after going through all the hard parts, you get to give a name to your product and company. However, still, proper consideration must be given to all three tasks in this step.

First, the name must appeal to your target market, and your tagline must resonate with them.

Logo development is also critical as it can encourage optimism and promote interest and trust in your target audience. So choosing the right design style, color, and typography must be paid attention to.

Launching the Brand

It is finally time to offer your product or service to the market. However, launching the brand cannot happen in isolation.

Product launch campaigns, awareness campaigns, and landing pages are among the courses of action to establish your brand effectively.

Managing Your Brand

Even if you handle all the previous steps flawlessly, you still need to ensure that your brand goes forward successfully.

Therefore, you need a dedicated marketing team that monitors the brand’s reputation, continuously conducts research, and keeps the updates as the market evolves.

What Does PurpleZ’s Brand Development Services Include?

Our services include all or some of the following steps:

Initial Discovery

First, we have a quick chat with you to understand your needs and what phases we think are necessary to be included in your development.

Consultation and Survey with You

Depending on your convenience, we can sit down with you one on one over a coffee or have an online meeting with you to go through a very in-depth survey with you.

At this stage, we gather insights to help you craft your brand criteria. For example, we determine who your biggest competitors are and what makes you different from your competitors.

How much involvement we have here is up to you; we can provide you a survey link and ask you to fill it in your own time, or we can take you through each insight and put the answer together.

Crafting Your Brand Criteria

Based on the data gathered in the previous section, we provide you with concise and clear points on your top key values, recommended brand style (design style, naming style, positioning, etc.), and your business culture and voice.

Once you also are happy with the given strategy and agree that it best represents your business, we move to the next phase.

Brand Design Concepts

We use the brand criteria determined in the previous step to give you recommendations for what your brand needs to include. These recommendations include brand name & coloring, your business tagline, and logo shape that best reflect your value and criteria developed earlier.

Shortlisting Design and Selection

So at this stage, we finally settle on your brand design and corporate identity. You may just select one of the design concepts presented to you.

In many cases, it is not that simple, though, and includes going back and forth in changes, revising, mixing, and matching to present you the most suitable option.

Designing Your Corporate Identity

Once we have crafted your identity that reflects your business, it is time to leave the job to our talented graphic design team to put together your full corporate identity.

This might include the design for stationery (your business cards and letterheads), brochures, advertising design templates, website design, vision, mission statement, email signatures, and everything else you would use and reflect corporate identity.

Launch
