Brand Positioning: How to Stand Out in the Crowded Digital Space

Positioning...

It seems tricky at first.

But when you truly comprehend it...

It's your TRUMP CARD!

In this edition, let's decode brand positioning and how you can stand apart in this digital maze:

Identifying Your Brand DNA:

The first step to positioning your brand uniquely is recognizing your brand's DNA. What are the defining traits? What makes you different?

Here are some tools that can assist you in this journey:

• Brand personality quizzes: Such as Kaye Putnam's Brand Personality Quiz

• Market Research: Tools like SEMRush or Ahrefs

• Competitor Analysis: Tools like BuzzSumo or Mention

Remember, each brand is unique. Yours too. The tools I've mentioned are just to help you unearth this uniqueness.

Now, let's start playing with our trump card.

Creating Your Unique Positioning Statement:

Your positioning statement is the beacon that guides your brand through the crowded digital space.

Here's how you can create your unique positioning statement:

• Define your target audience: Who are you serving?

• Identify your unique selling proposition (USP): What sets you apart?

• Combine the two: [Brand] provides [USP] for [Target Audience].

Remember…

Don't overcomplicate things. The simpler your statement, the better.

For instance, if you aim to make complex coding languages easy to understand for beginners, your statement could be: "Making programming a piece of cake for coding newbies."

Leverage Your Positioning:

It's not enough just to have a unique positioning; you have to consistently communicate it.

Here's how you can do that:

• Ensure all your content aligns with your positioning

• Highlight your USP in your profiles, about sections, and whenever you introduce your brand

• Consistently provide value that reinforces your positioning

Notice a lack of engagement? Try personal stories or case studies that reiterate your positioning. Make it relatable.

Struggling with visibility? Use relevant keywords and hashtags that align with your positioning.

Quality over quantity still applies.

Remember, your positioning is your brand's North Star. Let it guide all your actions and communications.

Iterate & Evolve Your Positioning:

Just as you and your audience evolve, so should your positioning.

Here's how you can ensure your positioning stays relevant:

• Track audience feedback and engagement

• Regularly analyze your positioning against your competitors

• Stay informed about changes and trends in your industry

Don't be afraid to tweak your positioning if it doesn't resonate with your audience or doesn't reflect your brand's evolution.

Flexibility is key.

Remember, your positioning is not set in stone. It should evolve with you and your audience.

And as always, patience is your best ally.

Continue to create, iterate, and stand tall in the digital crowd,
