INTRODUCTION
Understanding your brand
Learn how your best customers perceive your company, why those customers choose
your services over competing brands, and how to express your brand effectively
over multiple marketing channels to create a strong brand presence.
Brand research is about creating differentiation in the mind of the customer,
understanding why customers choose to purchase certain products and how
companies can leverage a strong brand to command loyalty – and potentially a
premium price – from customers.
Brand research is a highly qualitative process, employing one-on-one interviews
with your most desirable customers or using focus groups (where appropriate).
INSIGHT
Who can benefit from
brand research?
1. New company (or a new brand) is being launched – to define the best
positioning for the new brand in the competitive landscape.
2. Existing company offering a new product or service – to determine whether
the customer will allow the brand values to transfer to the new products.
3. Merging companies – to develop a brand architecture that defines how the two
brands will retain their current customers, emerging a stronger brand to
attract new customers.
4. Mature brands – refreshing, extending and understanding your brand, and
harnessing the organisation behind what your brand values stand for.
5. Rejuvenating brands – to identify strengths and weaknesses in your brand,
redefine the brand promise and reposition to the target market.
