1. You don’t need a logo to have a great brand. What your logo should help you achieve is a visual reminder of the quality of service to expect when they see you outside/on the shelf—primarily, to identify you visually.
2.However, it becomes a problem if you have not built that product/service/experience that people want to identify—it could even become more problematic.
3. First, identify what you want to promise people (this is why you need this product, this is the problem we commit to solving for you if you meet us, this is what you will help you do) and then go ahead and exceed that expectation.
4.Find your people, and learn from how your community interacts with your solution. This is what business people call MVP shey?
Then, as you grow, you begin to fight a new battle of standing out, building loyalty, and building community.
5. While “who you are,” positioning, promise, messaging, and comms. These are basic. Every other element can come in as you evolve to serve your people better.
I love when messaging, quality and brand experience align to give you an exciting product. If you hack this flow alongside a good distribution; then you are on the path to something very amazing.
This is one of the reasons I love @hingees. Great Product, amazing messaging, beautiful look & feel and excited niche marketing. When you go through a Hingees page, don't you feel like buying? 😎
I have seen people connect because they saw the next person wearing a Hingees Merch, read about interviews getting smoother cos there was a common ground that they could relate on and so many other "community related" activities.
