Branding, Why is it Important?

Why is Branding Important? The internet has become an instrumental element to reach more people; this is why marketing has gotten so important and relevant on a digital scale: it’s the modern way to gain people’s attention and to attain a higher degree of views, reach and whatnot.

In this regard, brands have become more and more significant because they are a fantastic way to develop a connection with the consumer and/or target audience, thus enabling you to get better results.

Let’s be honest here: we all know what Adidas is, we all know what Nike is. Why? Because they’re established brands and they are quite efficient at it, reaching millions every year with proper marketing strategies on a physical and digital scale.

So, why is branding important? We‘re going to give you a few good reasons right now:

It gives you a mission statement.

This is very important to any type of planning or marketing strategy that you want to apply.

We need to know where we’re going. We need to have a certain sense of what is what we want to achieve as a project and that is an instrumental aspect of any successful brand.

Using the Adidas example once again, their mission statement: to offer clothing for sports of the highest quality. That’s their focus and all their tactics, products, marketing and whatnot are directed to that direction. They’re not about food, cellphones or anything similar because those areas are not necessary in their mission.

Being a brand requires a mission statement and mission statement will give a sense of purpose to your brand.

Developing a style.

Think for a moment about the world’s greatest Rock bands: they all have distinctive elements that make them stand out. Queen doesn’t anything like Guns ‘N’ Roses and none of them sound like Deep Purple.

It’s the same situation with brands in any other scale or area and that is why branding is so important: it helps you to develop your own unique style that is going to make you stand out from the rest of the competition. The writing style, type of ads, imagery, types of products and/or services… all of this is paramount to have a certain uniqueness that will you make unforgettable to your target audience.

Talking about target audiences…

You know who to reach.

When you know what your mission statement is and when you know what your style is, you have a better grasp of who is your best target audience, thus making your strategies much more whole and focused.

Target audiences are everything and branding is very effective in that regard because one of its main benefits is to establish the main characteristics of those that you have to reach for better results.

There are multiple examples of characteristics that you may want to consider when branding and establishing your target audience:

• Age Groups
• Gender
• Localization
• Personal Interests
• Language

And a lot more, but those are some of the main traits that you have to take into account in order to have a grasp of what your target audience is.

Branding is a fundamental aspect of what you can achieve through digital marketing and it’s going to give you a better sense of what you have to do and what you don’t have to do.
