When you\u2019re generating your own content it gives you brand a voice and a personality. And this sense of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomango.co.uk\/thinks\/brand-identity-important-business\/\">brand identity<\/a> can go a long way towards helping consumers to develop a personal relationship with your brand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More than that, however, it starts to build value and trust in your brand by showcasing your knowledge, experience and expertise. However, for your content to be truly effective, it needs to have a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/how-to-create-a-successful-content-marketing-strategy-in-8-simple-steps\/\">coherent strategy<\/a> behind him that considers the needs of the customer over the creator\u2019s artistic fulfilment. Your content needs to be practically useful to the reader. It needs to help them to solve a problem that they encounter regularly or address a pain point that prevents them from being at their best. Whether you operate in the B2B or B2C space, your content needs to be useful to the consumer to build brand value, even if it\u2019s just giving them an entertaining read for their coffee break.<\/p>\n<p>Useful forms of content for building value in your brand include;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>White papers and eBooks (these are often referred to as cornerstone content)<\/li>\n<li>Blogs and vlogs<\/li>\n<li>Product videos (which help explain how to get the most out of a product)<\/li>\n<li>Tutorials and how-tos<\/li>\n<li>Infographics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Generating regular content keeps people coming back and encourages them to move around more throughout your website, thereby giving you an <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/seo-is-content-marketing\/\">SEO advantage<\/a> over your competitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course, as your business grows, you may find that keeping up with the demand for fresh content becomes more and more challenging. If this happens, don\u2019t fall into the trap of letting your standards slip. Low quality, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.postmm.com\/seo\/technical-seo\/bad-seo-content-spinning\/\">spun<\/a> and repurposed content can undo the SEO gains you\u2019ve made. Instead, consider outsourcing some of your content creation to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/conduitdigital.us\/\">white label digital marketing<\/a> agency. Not only can they generate a regular stream of high-quality content, they can also provide strategic advice to help you to engage your target market and increase your value prospect in their eyes. While many small businesses are somewhat reticent when it comes to outsourcing, this is one area in which it may be prudent, with a historically healthy ROI and tangible brand building benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Build a solid base of social proof<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/social-proof\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/design-social-proof-user-content.png\" alt=\"design-social-proof-user-content\" width=\"879\" height=\"657\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36576 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/design-social-proof-user-content.png 879w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/design-social-proof-user-content-768x574.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 879px) 100vw, 879px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 879px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 879\/657;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>The Psychology of Marketing: 18 Ways to Use Social Proof to Boost Your Results<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the digital age, word of mouth ain\u2019t what it used to be\u2026 but don\u2019t worry, that\u2019s a good thing for your brand. As people interact with each other in digital spaces like social media platforms and online forums (yes, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ricemedia.co.uk\/blog\/why-forums-arent-dead\/\">they\u2019re still a thing<\/a>) there\u2019s significant opportunities for brands to build value in the eyes of consumers.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how slick, inventive and creatively intriguing your marketing efforts may be, the truth is that consumers will always take what businesses say about themselves with a big chunk of salt. However, they are far more likely to trust the word of other consumers, which is why it\u2019s so important to leverage social proof.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of ways in which you can do this.<\/p>\n<p>The most obvious is to incentivize satisfied customers to leave positive reviews on Google, Trustpilot, Yelp and anywhere else that might be relevant. What\u2019s more, encouraging your employees to write reviews for you on sites like Glassdoor can also show how well you treat and value your workforce\u2026 and that means a great deal in this age of ethically aware consumerism.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another oft-neglected form of social proof is influencer marketing. Consumers, especially those of the millennial generation, often trust their favorite social influencers and creators more than they trust their own friends and family. Getting them on side with their own special promotions and discount codes can introduce your brand to a whole new market that is predisposed to like and trust you because they like and trust the influencer.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you should never under-estimate the influencers on your doorstep. Your customers can be leveraged to become micro-influencers bringing new customers to your business. Think of the Uber model of referrals as a great example of this in action. Offer discounts for customer referrals and you may be surprised by how effective your customers are in building value in your brand.<\/p>\n<h3>Never assume that you\u2019re done with market research<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of your customers, the instant you stop listening to what they want and start <i>telling <\/i>them what they want, your brand loses value in their eyes. Many business owners are keen to carry out as much market research as possible when getting their brand off the ground. But it\u2019s all-too easy to get lost in the day-to-day and lose sight of the importance of regular market research to keep up with the needs and expectations of your target market.<\/p>\n<p>Some useful forms of market research that should be a constant part of your operation include;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Customer exit surveys<\/li>\n<li>Observational research (e.g. observing customers\u2019 in-store behavior)<\/li>\n<li>Copy testing (where customers share their opinions on marketing copy before it is released)<\/li>\n<li>Product optimization (where customers weigh in on how your products could better fit their needs).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Staying in touch with your customers\u2019 needs is absolutely integral when it comes to consistently delivering value.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep a close eye on your competitors<\/h3>\n<p>When you\u2019re heavily invested in improving your operation, it\u2019s easy to become blinkered. But while you should always keep a close eye on your own work, it\u2019s important to remember that your business doesn\u2019t exist in a vacuum. Your competitors are always at your heels, just waiting for you to drop the ball so they can try to win the loyalty of your customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is why competitor analysis is an integral part of your ongoing market research efforts. It identifies opportunities as well as threats. If you see an area in which a competitor has a potential advantage, offering something that you don\u2019t, it behoves you to find a way to put your own spin on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If your competitors represent a better value prospect than you do, it\u2019s only a matter of time before your customers abandon you for them. You can never, ever afford to take customers\u2019m loyalty for granted.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/build-brand-value-tips-business.jpeg\" alt=\"build-brand-value-tips-business\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36574 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/build-brand-value-tips-business.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/build-brand-value-tips-business-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/build-brand-value-tips-business-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/build-brand-value-tips-business-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/build-brand-value-tips-business-65x65.jpeg 65w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1500\/1500;\" \/><br \/>\n<em><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/brand-trademark-cobblestones-community-denim-pants-609771\/\">Image by Ingo Joseph via Pexels<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Invest in your workforce<\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s a statistic that you might not like, but it\u2019s important for you to see. A staggering <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.intelligentmanagement.ws\/85-global-employees-disengaged-how-to-build-employee-engagement\/\">85% of employees<\/a> don\u2019t feel engaged (or actively feel disengaged) at work. That means it\u2019s statistically likely that someone working for you isn\u2019t happy or invested in what they do. And when someone is disengaged with their work, you simply can\u2019t expect them to deliver excellence on your behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, what do you do? Fire and replace them? That could be extremely costly and fundamentally inefficient. It\u2019s a far more prudent investment of your time, effort and capital to try and get the best out of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This means ensuring that you\u2019re always investing in employee training, not just at the point of onboarding but throughout the employee\u2019s journey. Ideally, each member of your team should have their own course of Continuing Professional Development to help them to achieve their personal and career goals inside and outside of their current role.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Many employees feel under-appreciated and that their best efforts go unnoticed by their management, so it may be in your best interests to incorporate an Employee Recognition Program into your operations. These allow you to formally recognize, share and celebrate employees\u2019 achievements as individuals and as a team. These often take the form of digital apps that look and feel just like the social platforms that employees use in their own time. In fact, Facebook even has its own called <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/workplace\">Workplace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever strategies you adopt to build value in your brand, it\u2019s important to stay flexible.
