Building a successful brand strategy takes time, consideration, and deep knowledge of the marketplace. However, first-time entrepreneurs may have difficulty getting started. Here are five vital steps for building a successful brand strategy.

Explore your target customers’ preferences

A brand strategy is all about crafting an identity and message that makes your business recognizable to your customers and establishes a relationship between them and your products and services. Nearly 60% of consumers have a preference for buying from either smaller or larger brands. To identify what audience you’ll be targeting, understand the four types of consumer brand preference groups:

  • Agnostic brand buyers: Consumers who don’t think deeply about what brand they are buying.
  • Unintentional small-brand buyers: Consumers who have some preference for buying smaller brands, but only when it’s convenient and accessible to them.
  • Exclusive small-brand buyers: Consumers who prefer to only buy smaller brands.
  • Exclusive large-brand buyers: Consumers who prefer buying well-known larger brands when possible.
