Why is a brand important for struggling businesses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to differentiate your company is by developing a unique approach to delivering your products or services. Even if you don\u2019t have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-makes-your-product-unique\/\">unique product<\/a> or service, the way<em> <\/em>you deliver it can make your company stand out and grow more successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue reading for three elements that will help you build your company&#8217;s brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-develop-a-unique-brand-for-delivering-products-or-services\"><strong>Develop a Unique Brand for Delivering Products or Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some branding experts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ignytebrands.com\/the-psychology-of-brand-personality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">call this unique approach a brand personality<\/a>.<em> <\/em>But what is a brand personality? Like differentiation, having a unique brand personality makes your company more recognizable and encourages loyalty. As people grow more familiar with your company, they\u2019ll likely prefer it to less familiar competitors. And when people relate to your company\u2019s brand personality, they see its products or services as a way to express their own personalities and thus become long-term customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike Michalowicz says there are three elements to consider when developing your approach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. The aspect of business you prioritize.<\/strong> Michalowicz says you can choose to prioritize either quality, price, or convenience when delivering your products or services. Instead of being mediocre in all three areas, focus your energy on becoming the best in one of them. This leverages people\u2019s interest in the extreme that we discussed above. For instance, if you choose quality, you\u2019d focus on providing <em>extremely <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/high-quality-product\/\">high-quality products<\/a>. People will be attracted to the idea of receiving the <em>best <\/em>products, so they\u2019re more likely to buy from you, even if your company is more expensive or less convenient than your competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Some business leaders are more flexible with their company\u2019s priorities. Prioritizing a particular aspect of business may be helpful at one point, but not another. Thus, they recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/cost-convenience-quality-andrew-shantz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ranking quality, price, and convenience in order of importance, and <em>reevaluating<\/em> that ranking<\/a> as your company\u2019s goals change. This provides the same benefits as Michalowicz\u2019s method\u2014as you focus all your energy on becoming extremely good at your current priority\u2014while also making it easier to adapt. For example, a young company may initially prioritize price to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-get-customers-for-a-new-business\/\">attract customers<\/a> and later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/obsess-over-quality\/\">focus on quality<\/a> to retain them.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. The type of task you\u2019re most skilled at and most enjoy.<\/strong> Michalowicz says to focus on completing these tasks and leveraging your strengths as much as possible. Doing tasks you hate and lack the skill to properly complete wastes time and energy, so outsource those. For instance, if you hate bookkeeping and lack the skills to complete it quickly and accurately, you\u2019ll spend a lot of time struggling with it. In contrast, if you hire a bookkeeper, you can spend your time and energy on leveraging your strengths, such as landing new customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/3003977\/how-outsource-your-most-dreaded-tasks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Just <em>knowing <\/em>that you have to complete an unpleasant or difficult task is distracting and draining<\/a>, some business experts say, even before you start doing it. This can make it more difficult to complete your other tasks\u2014and to leverage your strengths. Thus, they suggest delegating these tasks even if it seems financially unwise, implying that the benefit of increased focus and energy will offset the cost of outsourcing. Technology can make this easier and cheaper\u2014for instance, you could hire a remote assistant for a few hours a week to handle things like email or transferring data, instead of hiring a full-time assistant.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Your experience and personality.<\/strong> Your past experiences and personality inform how you operate your company. Since these elements of your life are unique to you, they make your company more unique, too. For example, a reserved individual may gravitate toward digital marketing and interacting with customers online, while an outgoing person may market through in-person events and personal relationships with customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Personality and Business<\/strong><br><br>Your personality is your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/what-is-personality-2795416\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unique pattern of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors<\/a>, some psychologists explain. These established patterns have a strong effect on your behavior in many areas of life, including your relationships, career, and health. There are several theories on how personalities develop. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/types-of-humanism-philosophies\/\">humanist<\/a> theories say that your past experiences play a large part in how your personality develops (and thus your behavior).<br><br>Some business owners suggest performing self-assessments to understand your personality traits and how they may affect the way you run your company. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/starting-business-make-your-personality-work-against-you-corr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Once you know your traits, you can leverage them to help your company<\/a>\u2014or mitigate any damage they may cause. For instance, if you\u2019re an imaginative, intense person, you may focus on designing processes and products where those traits are a benefit. You may delegate tasks where those traits may be a drawback, like recruiting investors, to someone with a calmer, logical personality. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/the-myers-briggs-type-indicator-2795583\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Myers-Briggs test<\/a> is one popular self-assessment that could provide this kind of insight.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a brand personality?
