A brand without sales is playing games. Even though sales is now reduced to relationship, yet sales keep the wheel of the brand going. Generating demands for brand today is huge work. Martin Lindstrom talks about Buy.ology in his latest book. This speaks volume about today’s brand buyers. Inability to create a demand for brand will spell doom for the brand. 90% of start up brands dies before five years. Inability to create a demand for the brand is one of the reasons for this calamity. Brands succeed faster if there are brand buyers or lovers in today’s term. In an article by Tony Kerry on creating demands for brands, Tony said “many brands always make the mistake of thinking that when they create great brands, customers will rush in caps in hand begging to share in the fame. It is the other way, create a demand and then build a brand around the creation”. When there is a creation of this, then you have created a brand in demand. It is no longer a commodity but a brand that will sell.
It is from the creation above that one can now creates a brand campaign that is jointly owned, that will be compelling enough to propel friends and well-wishers to start a song around the brand. Brand that creates it own demand attracts people and make them to make favorable decision which promotes the brand better.
Having laid this foundation, let me suggest few points that can create a demand for the brand.
1. Make the brand story their stories: At long last the brand is owned by its user and not by the brand drivers or owner
2. Align marketing and sales process to the dictates of it client: many brand drivers often look at the world from their own specs. The sales and marketing process are conducted in a way that will suit their own caprices forgetting that making this process simple for the client. Let the process inspire the stakeholders so much they want to buy again and again. This includes procurement, payment, delivery modes.
3. Get their minds: let the brands shows its personality, be emotional in all your communications.
4. Watch brand response time: Every brand wants to make money at the end or at least makes impact or profit of a sort. When customer needs assistance on the service provided, many brands drag its feet in responding swiftly to the customer’s complaint. They forget that brand is everything, not just logo, appearance, adverts.
5. Never be a digital novice: the brand must be in command of relevant technology that will aid brand’s promise delivery. Attention is gradually shifting to the internet; any brand that is not there or is not listening and participating in the conversation may not continually generate a demand in the next five years. No matter its position now.
