Most brands are busy talking about

themselves (Features), instead they should

appeal to customer’s self-interest (Benefits).


10

Commodity vs Brand

Sort by price Sort by distance Sort by time

Brand is when your customers are ready to give a premium over your competitor (Sort by Brand ).


11

Finally, What is a Brand?

Brand is a Gut Feeling about a product, service, or company. It’s a Gut Feeling because we’re all emotional beings despite our efforts to be rational.


12

How do we create a brand in the present scenario?

For that we need to understand how businesses have changed in the past years…


13

In the beginning of industrialisation

• Company with machine, earned more revenue

• When all companies had machines, then the company with a factory/ advanced facility earned more revenue.

• Then under Capitalisation, company who could create more capital by selling stocks, earned more revenue.

• When everyone had enough capital, companies who could reduce their competition by patenting their process or Intellectual Property, earned more revenue.

• Now when Intellectual Properties started becoming an obligation of use, companies who could use Innovation in product development or marketing, earned more revenues.

• Now as the pace of business increases and number of brands multiplies. Its the customer not companies that defines which brands win and which brand dies.


14

Hence, its imperative to market direct to people.

But people don’t buy commodities, product, or services…

They buy beliefs, stories, emotions and magic.


15

Seducing people through Stories have

become the main source of lead generation

because stories are sense making mechanism

and they make people believe in your brand.


16

Masses

Every company insists on having more sales, which means you have to make it for masses…

Creating commodity accepted by the masses will have to apt to the general choices hence you will have to make them Average!


17

because of growing number of choices available on many easy and fast modes of purchase like big ecommerce players and easy shipping by distribution experts the customer curve has dissolved in recent years.

Customer’s choices have grown more specific and dynamic, hence fit-for-all products have lost their charm.

•


18

Because people are not limited to few options anymore, they don’t want to be sold to, they want to make decisions and buy.

Hence it is not about Unique Selling Proposition anymore. The concept has outdated and the only thing that remains from this is ‘Unique’.

Therefore, instead of finding your USP, you need to establish your UBT (Unique Buying Tribe).


19

Hence, Biggest winner is not the first one into the market place but the first one in people’s mind.


20

Winning is not a mass thing anymore

You have to find true believers - your tribe and keep them engaged…

To find your tribe you need to know yourself first.


21

You need to define your ONLY

My brand is the only ______________________

that _____________________.


22

What is your category?

How are you different?

Who are your customers?

Where are they located?

When do they need you?

Why are you important?

We are the only ________

that ____________

for ___________________

mostly in _____________

at ___________________

because ______________


23

We are the only Motorcycle Manufacturer

that makes big and loud Motorcycle

for macho men and macho wanna-bes

mostly in the region of USA

in the era of personal freedom

who want to associate with a gang, tribe and cult.

After finding your Tribe, its important to define marketing

Digital Marketing is such a necessity that it is now the New Normal

DIRECT MARKETING VS BRAND MARKETINGHence Introducing


27

DIRECT MARKETING

Is the objective marketing which we use to increase awareness of our brand. eg. google ads, instant experience ads on instagram etc.

BRAND MARKETING

Are the efforts we put in to increase the familiarity of the brand. eg. SEO of website, social media posting etc.


28

Platforms to find customers


29

How can you create/find a TRIBE on these platforms?


30

Choose apt platforms

Find out which platform are most engaged by your future audience. Understand platforms and identify the persona of audience on that particular platform.


31

Create personas on the basis of

Identity, behaviour, preferences, personality traits recommendations, followers, brand choices, hobbies, travel preferences, leisure activities, daily habits & interests, culture and traditions

Targeting the masses through demography and geography are no more the only correct approach. You have to know your audience well enough to be able to target them effectively

THE MOST IMPORTANT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS

Self-fulfillment Needs2.

•

Note the shift of essential needs to be catered by

the brand


34

The importance of Social Needs creates the importance of

TRIBES.

People like being a part of a social group, They love the feeling of belonging somewhere. These social needs of EVERY human being, can be fulfilled by creating TRIBES.


35

To sell beliefs, stories, emotions and magic

you need the right content to provoke it. And this can be achieved with correct visual manipulation. e.g…..


•You will read this firstAnd then you will read this

Then this one

And you will read this last
