When you build a structure – like a home or commercial building, you first start with a solid base. Typically a cement slab. That slab helps to even out the base of your structure and if done ‘right’, will establish a solid grounding for you to start building up.
Building your business and your business’ brand is just the same. It’s important to start with solid foundations. That means:
- understanding and articulating your business proposition,
- really knowing who your target audience is,
- confirming your customer value proposition,
- ensuring you’ve developed your positioning statement and know where you ‘sit’ in your market,
- communicating well about who you are, what you do and how it can benefit your audience.
Once you’ve really understood your unique value proposition, it’s important to set realistic business objectives and develop a strategy to get you there.
Starting from a rocky foundation will only mean you need to work much harder, or spend more time and money, to achieve your objectives. Getting the right things in place – your ‘ducks lined up’, will help you not only in the short-term, but also the long-term.
