WHAT IS BRANDING

The Benefits Of Startup Branding

Correctly developing your brand from the get-go can be an important factor that determines the success of your company.

We’ve broken down the important steps of the branding process below to give you a clear picture on why you need branding services. Explore brand strategies with real-life examples to see how brand strategies translate into tangible results.

Why Invest In Startup Branding?

Branding plays a crucial role in your success story.

By investing in startup branding, you can:

1. Develop A Consistent Brand Identity Across Channels

The average user needs about 5-7 exposures to a brand to remember it.

Consistency in brand presentation is key to making your brand memorable. From your brand name to your logo, color palette, typography, imagery and more, a branding agency for startups can help ensure your identity remains consistent across all channels, so you can begin building a name for yourself.

2. Create A Sense Of Trust And Transparency Through Clear Values

Building a relationship and gaining loyal customers starts with building trust. One of the best ways to build this trust is to define transparent values that your company consistently stands behind.

From transparency to social responsibility, empathy and accountability, your key values and principles should speak to your target audience.

A branding agency for startups will help you define these values and ensure they shine through every piece of content, every design, and every product or service you offer.

3. Increase Loyalty

Research indicates that customers tend to buy from brands that share their values. Strategically building your brand identity can therefore improve your conversions and consumer loyalty.

What Is Brand Positioning?

Brand positioning is the placement of a brand within its industry that provides unique value to its customers.

Meanwhile, the process of brand positioning aims to establish and highlight brand identity, giving consumers greater incentive to choose a certain company’s products or services.

Why Is Brand Positioning Important For Startups?

Whether a lightly or heavily funded startup, all early-life businesses face a similar set of challenges. These include:

  1. How to stand out from the crowd?
  2. How to harness brand loyalty?
  3. How to reach the right audience?

Brand positioning tackles each of these three dilemmas by establishing and showcasing a brand identity, style and tone that connects with a carefully selected audience.

What Is Brand Repositioning?

Brand repositioning is when a brand aims to alter the way it is viewed by consumers by adjusting its brand identity and marketing strategies.

By changing one of its brand positioning strategies, brands can utilize repositioning to target new audiences and markets while remaining true to their core values.

Brand Positioning Strategies

Brand positioning is a crucial step for all startups to create brand equity, but what are its most common strategies?

1. Price

Price-based brand positioning refers to creating a competitive advantage through affordable prices. In return for smaller margins of return, brands can market themselves as the cheapest option within their market, in turn gaining a loyal customer base.

Example: Think Dollar Shave Club. In addition to the razor company’s name itself, their upbeat and laid-back messaging showcases an identity of relaxed affordability.

2. Features

Feature-based, or unique, brand positioning is when a brand relies on its unique qualities to stand out from the crowd. By offering a product or service not currently available, brands can position themselves as an alternative to the norm.

Example: Tesla is known worldwide as an industry disrupter. Pioneering features such as autopilot and caraoke (a take on karaoke) have positioned the electric vehicle brand as an industry innovator—something Elon Musk aims to promote in his personal take on social media branding.

Elon Musk promotes Tesla’s unique features via Twitter, for better or for worse.

3. Quality

Quality-based brand positioning refers to centring brand identity around the producing of high-quality, often luxury, goods or services. Through this, businesses can understand who their target audience is and adjust messaging and brand marketing accordingly.

Example: Let’s look at Chipotle. Entering a market ruled by cheap eatery Taco Bell, the Mexican fast-food chain decided to position itself as a high-quality diner. This is highlighted for all to see in the tagline “food with integrity”.

Digital Silk’s Startup Branding Best Practices

At Digital Silk, we take a results-driven approach to startup branding. We follow proven best practices to develop digital strategies that bring results.

Here’s a sneak peak at a few of our best practices:

1. Get Inspired By The Leadership Team

Let your founder’s or founding team’s shared qualities, voice and values inform your brand identity. Basing your startup brand identify on tangible and organic characteristics will contribute to its authenticity.

2. Live Up To Your Promises

The process of branding is a great opportunity for introspection. Think about whether your offering is living up to its promise and how you can evolve it. No branding in the world can generate demand for products or services that don’t bring value to their customers.

3. Give Your Brand A Memorable Name

A distinctive, memorable brand name helps you stand out from your competitors. Come up with a name that is easy to say and interpret and which helps cultivate your brand image.

Startup Branding Agency FAQs

Startup branding refers to the collection of processes and strategies designed to enhance brand awareness and competitiveness for early-stage businesses.

Brand positioning, brand identity and brand research act as key components within startup branding, as young company’s aim to establish a route to recognition and loyalty.

Branding is an important factor for all types of businesses, but for startups it is vital.

Without creating a recognizable brand and visual identity that connects with an audience that matters, startups will never be able to reach the targets they set.

Research suggests that 74% of consumers feel loyal to a particular brand or company—it takes proactive branding for startups to become these brands.

Branding agencies can utilize industry experience, tried-and-tested methodologies and the brightest minds to elevate visibility and connectivity with your brand.

From brand marketing campaigns and multi-channel messaging alignment to creative visuals and forward-thinking brand book design, branding agencies offer a holistic package of solutions that drive results.

While a brand agency will provide end-to-end brand building services, a creative agency will usually focus on design elements.

In turn, brand agencies can often be utilized to conduct the more technical aspects, such as conducting market and unique value proposition (UVP), while creative agencies will create campaigns and designs that attract a predefined target audience.

As a full-service digital agency, at Digital Silk we have an in-house team to take on both creative and branding services. From your startups foundation to launch and beyond, we are on hand to guide you to achieving research-driven goals.
