Increase Brand Value - Brand Equity

What is brand value or brand equity? 
We collect definitions, because it's fascinating, because it's an opportunity to learn from other thinkers and practitioners.
​
And then, whilst standing on the shoulders of others and peering as far as we can into the future, give our own contribution:-
​
"Brand Value (or Brand Equity) is the extra price a customer pays for the perceived increased pleasure or reassurance given by a badged product over a similar un-badged product."

The critical words here are "perceived", because it is their perception and their perception of how friends may think that determines the value.
​
And the words "given" - because the brand should "give" - it is not a passive endeavour - it is an active, emotional engagement. For a brand to sustain it has to give.
​
A strong identity demands continuous evaluation and revamping to keep it up to date thereby increasing its value over time. If any company is able to increase its brand value, the company will profit.

Increase Market Share

Know Your Market
It is critical for any business to know its market in terms of size and composition. What is it worth? How many potential customers are there? How many competitors are there? What is the distribution channel? Is it a mature market or an emerging market? What is your market share, in terms of customers and volume. If you do not know your market, then how can you measure your success in terms of growth in market share. At Gibson Strategy we have established methodologies and processes gained over years of experience in analysing and assessing potential markets and have helped our clients substantially increase their market share.
Market Segmentation
​
One way of knowing your market is through segmentation and is a means of helping us understand more fully the behaviour, attitudes and needs of customers, as well as to identify, size and understand how different segments operate in the market.
​
Segmentation will enhance our clients ability to:
​
  • Prioritise customers with the best opportunity for profitable growth
  • Develop more focused and differentiated propositions
  • Tailor sales and marketing messages more accurately
  • Align all aspects of client service and admin support
  • Create loyalty and client retention through client service/client satisfaction
  • Identify new opportunities and future high growth areas
​
Creating a Competitive Advantage

Once you know your market and your market share, we can start looking at how we can create a competitive advantage in order to increase market share.

Reduce Risk

"Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash."
General George S. Patton
Business risk is a growing concern, especially in today’s volatile economy.
​
CEO's need to take control of their businesses, assess the risks inherent in both their companies and industries and determine how to best reduce these risks. Risk can be safety-related, financial or operational. However, for each potential risk, an effective system of internal controls can be implemented to reduce risk.
​
At Gibson Strategy, we:
​
  • Review existing systems and procedures which manage internal control, providing checks and balances
  • Provide an unbiased and objective review of the clients situation and identify areas in need of improvement
  • Develop a risk management strategy
​
We can help you decrease the business risk in your company, to find out how, contact us today to arrange an informal chat.
