You need to understand that attracting the customers through high value is far better than enticing them by being a low cost product.

b) Brand Optimisation

Optimising your brand over time is important. There are various ways through which you can optimise your brand such as LinkedIn profile, logo, website and eDMS. You may refer to a third party such as VIS for this task to be done effectively, as these companies are experts in these areas.

c) Marketing Collaterals

For the effective positioning of your brand you must decide which marketing collateral is best and how it should be used. For example, you can choose to optimise your LinkedIn profile if your business is B2B.

2. Package your Expertise

You need to show people you are the leader in the industry. Packaging your products or services is a good starting point. If you are a service company, this makes your services and products are convenient for your customers to buy.

Packaging not only helps you to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in a specific field but also helps you to build an asset that is ‘bigger’ than you. The following are some points to assist with packaging your expertise:

a) Offer Choices

With the development in technology, people are surrounded with many choices. Offer different options for your customers to choose from. The chances are they might end up choosing at least one option.

For example, if you offer a big glass of coffee and a small glass of coffee then, you may choose none of them, whereas if you offer 3 choices, including the middle one, you will probably buy the middle one.

b) Conversion Friendly Technology

We are living in a technology dominated society. You can make your brand packaging attractive through a well-planned campaign, integrating all your marketing channels together including your website and your app.

According to statista.com website, it is expected that the smart phone users will reach up to 2.71 billion in 2019.

c) Positioning as a Market leader

Packaging helps to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in the industry, and an opportunity to present yourself as an expert in the field. Customise your packaging of your products and services in a way that is appealing to your target audience.

3. Promote – Offer value

Last but not the least, promotion is the ultimate and most important factor when it comes to marketing. After careful evaluation to position and package your brand, what come next is promotion.

Fact: Almost 71% of small businesses do their own marketing in-house. But, according to Forbes, small businesses who are happiest with their marketing performances hired outside agencies to handle it for them.

Promotion is a voice to your brand, sending out a brand message loud and clear to your target customers. This helps your lead list to move on to the conversion list. However, only well planned and researched promotion can perform this magic.

Here are 3 tips to create that magic:
