The importance of the right brand positioning

Annette Moran • 19 July 2019

When the right brand positioning is in place for your business it will help to drive everything else forward naturally – paving the way for your marketing approach, your services and your business reputation clearly. Get it wrong and your customers will never trust you.

Having a strong brand position provides a lot of advantages to your company whereas a weak positioning approach creates a weak firm and customers will spot this immediately and seek to take their business elsewhere.

Here are just a few reasons why the right brand positioning is important to your business:

Increased competitive edge

Positioning your brand marks your business out as a specialist, an expert, or a territory leader and puts you ahead of the competition immediately. By adopting a strong position and sticking with it consistently across all of your marketing materials, your business reputation will be greatly strengthened, and your competitors won’t stand a chance.

Stronger market focus

Positioning your business in a certain way means you will need to focus all of your attention and services into that position. Being laser focused in one area helps to enhance your reputation as an expert which can increase your value to prospective customers.

Support increased pricing

Positioning your firm against the competition will help you decide what new services to offer and how they’re priced. Are you a higher-priced boutique accounting firm or a no-frills, low-cost provider? Which new services and pricing support that positioning?

Clearer communication

Having a strong position makes it much easier to develop clear and concise communication throughout all of your branding and marketing materials. With a laser sharp focus in one direction, your business communication will be precise and effective as well.

Easier sales message

Having a strong position makes it much easier to develop clear sales tools and arguments and gives the business clear visibility above all of the other competitors in the market place, making your company instantly recognisable.

Having a clear, focused brand positioning approach helps to drive your marketing, improve your communication and can enhance your business reputation as experts in the field.

All businesses want to optimise revenue. Your business strategy will identify ways of driving revenue; your marketing team will generate awareness and leads; your sales team looks at the most effective ways of converting leads to sales, and then your customer service helps to keep customers buying. Another key factor to consider is your brand.

If someone you trusted said to you, “I think we should rebrand”, what would be your first thought? Maybe panic, fear and an overwhelming feeling of not knowing where to even begin? You are not alone. A rebrand can seem like a mammoth task and one that you may think you just don’t have the time for, but you might be missing a trick.

From a young age we grow up immersed at Christmas in a fairy tale world of elves, reindeers and sleighs, and the ubiquitous image of a man in a red suit squeezing himself down our chimneys. As adults we still get excited about the magic of Christmas, the hope it brings and the joy of being a part of something magical.
