1 Mistake 1: Not defining your brand identity

Your brand identity is the core of your brand awareness strategy. It is the set of values, attributes, and personality that defines who you are, what you do, and how you do it. Without a clear and consistent brand identity, you will struggle to communicate your value proposition, connect with your audience, and stand out from the crowd. To avoid this mistake, you need to define your brand identity in terms of your vision, mission, values, voice, tone, and visual elements. Then, you need to align your brand identity with your target market, your positioning, and your goals.

One of my clients - owner of a coffee shop in the heart of the city, was struggling to define its brand identity. The coffee shop was just a chaotic mix of flavors, decor, and messaging that left customers bewildered. We decided to sit down with a strong espresso and redefine what the brand stood for. I tried to understand if there's a possible way we connect the brand identity with the owners personality - taking an inspiration from owners love for books, we transformed coffee shop into a haven for literature enthusiasts, adding cozy reading nooks, bookshelves filled with novels, and unique coffee blends named after famous authors. This clear brand identity not only saved the business but built a loyal following among coffee & book lovers

Reduced brand loyalty A clear and consistent brand identity is essential for building a strong and memorable brand that connects with its audience, differentiates itself from competitors, and drives brand loyalty.

2 Mistake 2: Not measuring your brand awareness

You can't improve what you don't measure. If you don't track and analyze your brand awareness metrics, you will miss out on valuable insights, feedback, and opportunities to optimize your strategy. Some of the key metrics to measure your brand awareness are brand recall, brand recognition, brand loyalty, brand sentiment, social media engagement, website traffic, and conversions. To avoid this mistake, you need to set clear and realistic brand awareness objectives, choose the right tools and methods to measure them, and monitor and evaluate your results regularly.

A common pitfall (that's easy to fall into) is using the wrong metrics to measure brand campaigns, especially when using digital channels. Analytics for digital channels are great, but are they relevant to brand marketing? CTR? Impressions? Conversions? CPC? CPL? These are built for performance marketing. NOT brand marketing! Brand campaigns should revolve around exposing the brand to as many (relevant) people as possible and creating favourable brand associations. The best way to measure this? Surveys. Measure awareness (prompted & unprompted). Plus, what attributes are associated with your brand. Repeating the survey before and after a campaign will give genuine insights into the campaign's success.

3 Mistake 3: Not creating valuable content

Content is the fuel of your brand awareness strategy. It is the way you educate, inform, entertain, and inspire your audience. It is also the way you showcase your expertise, authority, and credibility. However, many businesses create content that is irrelevant, boring, or salesy, which can damage their reputation and trust. To avoid this mistake, you need to create content that is valuable , relevant, and engaging for your audience. You need to understand their needs, preferences, and pain points, and offer them solutions, benefits, and stories. You also need to use different formats, channels, and platforms to reach and attract them.

While creating valuable content always think of providing the right information at the right time in the right way. Instead of merely presenting information, consider showing your audience how to apply that information in their lives. This could mean creating step-by-step guides, practical tutorials, or real-life case studies that demonstrate the practicality and relevance of your products or services.

4 Mistake 4: Not leveraging social media

Social media is one of the most powerful and cost-effective ways to increase your brand awareness. It allows you to reach and interact with a large and diverse audience, build relationships, and generate word-of-mouth. However, many businesses use social media without a clear strategy, plan, or purpose. They post sporadically, inconsistently, or inappropriately, which can hurt their image and engagement. To avoid this mistake, you need to leverage social media strategically and effectively. You need to choose the right platforms for your brand and audience, create and share relevant and compelling content, engage with your followers and influencers, and monitor and optimize your performance.

5 Mistake 5: Not differentiating your brand

One of the biggest challenges of brand awareness is to stand out from the competition. If you don't differentiate your brand, you will blend in with the crowd and lose your unique value proposition. To avoid this mistake, you need to differentiate your brand in terms of your product or service, your benefits or features, your story or personality, or your values or purpose. You need to identify what makes you different, better, or special, and communicate it clearly and consistently to your audience.

6 Mistake 6: Not being consistent

Consistency is the key to building and maintaining brand awareness. It means delivering the same message, quality, and experience across all your touchpoints and channels. It also means aligning your brand with your actions and promises. Without consistency, you will confuse, disappoint, or lose your audience. To avoid this mistake, you need to be consistent in your brand identity , content, social media, differentiation, and customer service. You need to create and follow a brand style guide, a content calendar, a social media schedule, a value proposition statement, and a customer feedback system.

Consistency is a promise. A promise about your brand mission, values, purpose, and experience. How the potential customers perceive your brand fulfillment of that promise is where the ‘value’ is created. We’re all familiar with the feelings created by a broken promise – disappointment, hurt, distrust. For your brand breaking the brand promise hurts your customer’s trust in your brand and creates a feeling of deception. The larger the scale of the broken promise, the harder it is to repair the break. To increase the chances of your brand to deliver on its ‘promise’ throughout the customer experience implement a consistent effort to anticipate, plan, and follow-through on the expectations and your brand promise.

'Values' play a crucial role in shaping a brand's identity. They provide the foundational principles upon which the company or brand was built. When these values are undefined, the brand loses its sense of purpose, and those representing the brand lack a clear guiding path.
