Comprehensive Brand Strategy
Best Buy
Brand
What makes You Unique?
• What is your unique business strength?– Not your product or service
• It should be about selling the problem your product or service solves
• Be cautious that you are not just solving generic problems
• Look at how these brands “solve” their consumer “problems”
Brand “Solution”
Safety
Refreshing
MAGIC
Be Consistent - Reach
Quantity:The larger the audience, the more likely you speak to the thin market
Quality:Higher income, higher educated, home owners with more disposable income
Reach:Estimated number of potential customers it is possible to reach through an advertising medium or a promotional campaign
Be Consistent - Frequency
Exposure #1 & #2– Creates awareness & attentionExposure #3 – Creates understandingExposure #4 – Leads to a buying decision
FrequencyMeasurement of the number of times the audience is exposed to your message
Marketing standard: 3.0 exposures in seven days is optimumSignificantly less will not move buyers
Significantly more will annoy the audience
Be Consistent - Recency
The ad’s recency drives effectiveness & ROI• Is your message there when the consumer’s buying
window is open?• How closely your ad is read or seen within the
consumer’s buying window determines its effectiveness.
Recency:– Proximity of the message to the buying decision
Frequency drives Recency!
Be Consistent: Brand Integrity Represent Your Brand and Establishment through all channels
Website Best Practices

geographically and within the paper?
Directories – Yellow Pages

Planning…U.S. Small Business Administration Recommends:
Small to medium sized businesses with less than $5,000,000 in annual revenue should invest between 7 - 8% of their total annual sales on advertising.
A Fully Integrated Marketing Budget Plan depends on your industry, size of business, your growth stage, and competitive landscape in your market.
Knowing how much you have to spend on marketing is critical; even more critical is how you spend it. This means having a plan.
Testimonial
“We see amazing and immediate results with our newspaper ads.
We never dreamed of the customers it would attract. ““. . .we know that it will drive
traffic to our store and it sells out for us.”
“Finally, our last ad brought us 50% more customers.”
John Lehman Co-Owner
Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing, but
nobody else does.- Steuart H. Britt
