Dr. PepperAs consumers, we tend to be visually-oriented. We seek out our favorite grocery store brands by the label on the container.  Whether it is Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb, we search for our favorite label. The same is true for wanting to do business with our "favorites". The trick for business owners is to be MEMORABLE - to become your consumers' "favorite" and be "top of mind".

BE MEMORABLE. BE VISIBLE. Be "top of mind" by being recognizable. Experimental psychologists and educators have found that retention of visual information is six times greater, three days after a meeting, when accompanied by a strong visual and oral impression, than when the information is presented by the spoken word alone. 

 

Studies suggest that three days after someone meets you, they will retain:  

  • 10% of what they HEAR Chart2 
  • 35% of what they SEE
  • 65% of what they HEAR & SEE

You create a greater impact when combining both a compelling verbal message AND a strong visual impression. You can introduce yourself to 100 new people a day, but without a strong visual impact, your personal first-impression may leave your potential customer shortly after your potential customer leaves you. Retain your audience far more effectively with a strong visual brand identity and continue to establish a lasting impression long after your initial introduction. 

 

A strong, consistent visual
brand identity helps to:

  • create a distinct identity / market position
  • project a professional, innovative image
  • develop greater visibility for your business
  • distinguish yourself from your competition
  • attract, retain and solidify your customer base

STAND UP. STAND OUT. GET NOTICED. 

 

At Davis Creative, we utilize our philosophy of Mindful Marketing to create unique brand identities for our clients - from solo-preneurs working from their spare bedrooms to Fortune 100 companies operating out of corner boardrooms.

4 Ways to Block
Brand Competition

By Gabrielle M. Blue   |    Feb 28, 2011

Is your company's brand unique, innovative, and rock-solid enough to not only capture and hold customer loyalty, but also to dominate the market by knocking out the competition?

It takes a lot more than a good product to ensure customer loyalty - and even more to maintain a competitive edge in the marketplace. Consumers today associate with a product or service through their connection with a company's brand. That's why it's more important, as a business owner, to make sure your company's brand is unique, innovative, and rock-solid enough to not only capture and hold customer loyalty, but also to dominant in the market by knocking out the competition.
